This is your bucket list trip and now is the time to go!

Your Greek Island Hopper has been carefully designed and features fantastic experiences:

You have been dreaming about sun-kissed beaches, breathtaking coastal views, or to be more specific: the Greek Islands of Mykonos and Santorini. Get ready to discover archaeological treasures, history, and culture – not to forget, delicious Mediterranean food. Unearth myths and legends of ancient Athens, visit the magnificent Acropolis, and wander the paths of Plato, Socrates, and Sophocles.

 


Culture & Heritage:

The Greeks made important contributions to philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, and medicine. Literature and theater were an important aspect of Greek culture and influenced modern drama. The Greeks were known for their sophisticated sculpture and architecture. Greece is the English name for the Hellenic Republic.

Culinary:

Greek food is simple, colorful, and very nutritious. The classic moussaka, for example, is a hearty dish made of layers of lamb and eggplant, topped with béchamel sauce and cheese. Very popular is Mezze, several small dishes served with salads, dips and pita bread. Greek cuisine is so diverse in its nature that it is hard to describe and best experienced firsthand. And you will.
.

Educational:

Learn firsthand about the significance of the Parthenon, built for the goddess Athena, protector of the city. During your visit at the Olympic Stadium, imagine events that took place, such as wrestling, boxing, discus, and chariot racing. Hear ancient Greek stories, featuring gods and mythological monsters – like Medusa, a slithery sorceress whose look could turn people to stone. Visit the Bronze Age settlement of Akrotiri, one of the most important Minoan urban centers and ports in the Aegean Sea, covered by volcanic ash in the 17th century BC.
.

Landscapes & Wildlife:

While native animals of Greece include brown bears, wolves, and lynx, you will more likely encounter goats and donkeys, which are popular domesticated animals. Greece is home to an unbelievable variety of landscapes including lush forests, waterfalls, mountain ranges, and even deserts. Set like gems in the sparkling blue Aegean Sea, each of the Cyclades islands has its own character, with landscapes of white-washed villages and sapphire blue sea melting into the deep blue sky or pristine beaches.
.

Leisure:

Take a time out at Mykonos’ gorgeous beaches with golden sand and turquoise water. In Santorini discover views that are out of this world and should be experienced at least once in your life. Go snorkeling or rent a jet ski while on the islands or go bargain shopping in the Plaka district of Athens.
.

Outdoor & Adventure:

We truly enjoy island life and spending our time outdoors to admire the amazing landscapes of these islands. Join our Catamaran adventure in Santorini and sail around the caldera, swim in the crystal-clear waters, discover Red Beach and White Beach, and dive into the therapeutic waters of the volcano’s hot springs.
