Santorini
Santorini is one of Europe’s must-see cities.
Known for its stunning natural beauty, Santorini is one of Europe’s must-see cities. It embodies the image of the Greek islands with whitewashed, blue-domed villages clinging onto the cliff face surrounded by the beautiful Aegean Sea. Our tour will visit the archeological site of Akrotiri, which was a Minoan Bronze Age settlement that came to a sudden end in 1613 BC with a catastrophic volcanic eruption. Our tour will also enjoy lunch at local restaurants and take a ride to the top of Mount Profitis for incredible views, followed by a visit to Pygros, which is a picturesque hillside village that is set on a volcanic crater at the highest point of the island.
Mykonos
Our tour also stops in Mykonos!
Our tour also stops in Mykonos, where you can comb the sands or bronze your body, on Paradise Beach, where plenty of opportunities exist for all kinds of fun water sports. You can feed the pelicans or lose yourself in a maze of alleys and villas that were built to confuse pirates long ago. If you’re up to exploring the surrounding area, then you should consider joining our tour’s optional excursion: sailing to Delos, the uninhabited island of Apollo’s birth, where impressive carved lions dating from the 5th century still stand on cliffs that overlook the sea.
Athens
