The Ultimate Cycladic Dream, 10days

The day begins with a journey through time. Today’s organized guided tour will reveal the secrets of Ancient Athens. We will walk up the Sacred Rock of the Acropolis to admire the architectural marvel of the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Athena Nike. Our tour continues with a panoramic drive past the city’s major landmarks, including the Panathenaic Stadium (Kallimarmaro) and Syntagma Square with its impressive changing of the guards. The afternoon is at your leisure for walking and relaxing in the city center.

Early in the morning, we transfer you to the port of Piraeus where you will board the ferry to cosmopolitan Paros. Enjoy the journey across the deep blue waters of the Aegean. Upon arrival, our representative will pick you up for your transfer. In the afternoon, walk through the whitewashed streets of Parikia and visit the imposing Panagia Ekatontapyliani, one of the most important early Christian churches in Greece.

The entire day is free for you to discover why Paros is one of the world’s most beloved destinations. We suggest relaxing on its famous beaches, such as Kolymbithres with its uniquely sculpted rocks, or Golden Beach. At dusk, do not miss visiting the picturesque port of Naoussa, where the heart of the island’s nightlife beats among colorful fishing boats and the ruins of a Venetian castle.

We bid farewell to Paros and, with a short ferry ride, cross over to Naxos, the largest and most fertile island in the Cyclades. Upon arrival, your eyes will immediately be drawn to the Portara, the giant marble gate of the ancient Temple of Apollo. After your transfer, explore the magical Chora of Naxos and wander through the narrow alleys of the Venetian Castle dominating the hill.

Today you have the opportunity to either enjoy the island’s endless sandy beaches (like Agios Prokopios and Agia Anna) or join the Optional Full-Day Naxos Tour. If you choose the tour: We will travel inland, a place full of myths and traditions. We will see the giant, unfinished Kouros statues, the impressive Temple of Demeter, and visit traditional mountain villages like the marble village of Apiranthos and Halki.

Today we set sail for the most anticipated destination: legendary Santorini. The moment the ship enters the Caldera and you see the imposing dark cliffs with white houses clinging to the top is simply breathtaking. After your transfer, take advantage of the afternoon to walk around Fira or Firostefani, enjoying the unique view of the volcano.

This day is yours to experience Santorini at your own pace. You can rent a car to explore the archaeological site of Akrotiri and the Red Beach, or choose the spectacular Optional Volcano & Hot Springs Cruise. If you choose the cruise: We will board a traditional boat to sail the waters of the Caldera. We will hike the craters of Nea Kameni, swim in the warm, healing waters of the Hot Springs, and anchor below the picturesque settlement of Oia so you can experience one of the most beautiful and romantic sunsets in the world.

Get ready for your transfer to the port of Santorini for your return trip. The journey to Piraeus is an excellent opportunity to reminisce about the beautiful sights of the past few days. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to the center of Athens, where you will have one last chance for a stroll or some shopping.

Your 10-day adventure in the Greek islands comes to an end. Depending on your flight time, our driver will safely and comfortably transfer you to Athens International Airport. You return home full of unforgettable memories and wonderful photos from the Aegean!
