Spend seven unforgettable nights exploring two contrasting sides of Greece, from the ancient city of Athens, to the calm, endless blue of the Aegean. Walk among ruins in the Greek capital, feel the unique energy of Mykonos, and watch the sun dip below Santorini’s cliffs. Then, sail to the Turkish coast, where ancient temples stand next to bustling markets filled with spices and local flavours.
We Love —
- Getting lost in the cobbled streets of the Greek capital, where history breathes in every stone, from the ancient grandeur of the Acropolis, to the charming neighbourhood of Plaka.
- Exploring some of Greece's most iconic islands, from the breathtaking cliffs of Santorini to the white washed buildings of Mykonos.
- Watching the sunset each evening as you sail, casting a magical glow over the endless blue waters and the silhouettes of distant islands.

Your destination —
Athens
Athens, the cradle of Western civilisation, invites visitors to delve into its rich tapestry of drama, philosophy, and culture. A journey through its ancient streets offers an immersion into the profound history that has shaped the modern world.
Must-sees:
- Acropolis and Parthenon: Stand atop Athens’ iconic hill and admire the Parthenon, a tribute to Athena, alongside the Erechtheion and Propylaea.
- Plaka neighbourhood: Discover a quaint maze of narrow streets, traditional tavernas, and hidden gems beneath the Acropolis.
- Changing of the guards: Witness the hourly ceremony at Constitution Square, steeped in tradition and pageantry.
Culinary culture:
Athens’ culinary scene is a celebration of flavours both traditional and modern. Sample authentic Greek dishes like moussaka, souvlaki, and the ubiquitous tzatziki. Street vendors entice with sesame-crusted koulouri and fresh souvlaki wraps. For a modern twist, explore the burgeoning fine-dining scene, where chefs reinterpret classics using locally-sourced ingredients. Pair your meal with ouzo or a refreshing glass of retsina wine.
A dive deeper:
Beyond the landmarks, uncover Athens’ cultural layers in its lesser-known districts. Anafiotika, a tranquil enclave of whitewashed houses and narrow paths, mirrors the charm of the Cycladic islands. The National Archaeological Museum offers a comprehensive journey through Greek antiquity. Don’t miss the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre, a modern architectural marvel hosting world-class performances and exhibitions.
Good to know:
The local currency is the euro (€). Athens enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with spring and autumn being ideal for exploring. The efficient Metro system connects key areas, while taxis and trams provide additional convenience. Comfortable footwear is a must for navigating its historic sites and cobblestone streets.
