Your Greek Adventure
There is an old Greek saying that goes along the lines of 'When God wanted to recreate Heaven on Earth; he made Greece', and it's easy to see why. The crystal blue waters of the Aegean, the idyllic Cycladic islands, the relics and monuments of one of the most impactful civilizations that have persisted for a millennium; it's all just a fraction of the allure that enamors visitors to this sanctuary in the Mediterranean.

Maintaining a place for thousands of years is no easy task and, on the surface, Athens can feel like a city in shambles. But if you’re willing to embrace the chaos, then hipster neighborhoods and an underground art scene give Athens an up-and-coming vibe, despite being one of the oldest cities in the world. It’s a capital of contradictions, where sipping a craft cocktail in a trendy rooftop bar overlooking the ruins of the Acropolis is par for the course.
Your private english speaking driver will greet you at the arrivals hall of the airport and transfer you to your hotel. They will have a sign with your name on it.

Arrive at your hotel and unwind from your travels before venturing out to explore the Acropolis this afternoon.
Check in at the hotel starts in the afternoon. An earlier check-in has been requested. Since July is high season and the hotel is operating at capacity, an earlier check-in cannot be guaranteed, but the hotel will try to accommodate the request.
The Acropolis is the most important ancient site in the Western world. Crowned by the Parthenon, it stands sentinel over Athens, visible from almost everywhere within the city. Its monuments and sanctuaries of white Pentelic marble gleam in the midday sun and gradually take on a honey hue as the sun sinks, while at night they stand brilliantly illuminated above the city. A glimpse of this magnificent sight can not fail to exalt your spirit.
The Acropolis became a World Heritage-listed site in 1987. The Museum was founded to exhibit all the significant finds from the Sacred Rock and its foothills. It was designed by architect Bernard Tschumi with Michael Photiadis and inaugurated in the summer of 2009. The Museum hosts its collections across three levels, as well as in the archaeological excavation that lies at its foundations.

Please note that the walk up the Acropolis Hill is part of the experience of visiting this incredible ancient site. Consider the astounding number of people who have walked the same path through millennia. In fact, all the buildings you see on the Acropolis were built or rebuilt during the 500-300 B.C. As a result, the marble steps are very shiny and slick. Additionally, don’t forget to wear a pair of comfortable walking shoes and absolutely avoid wearing flip flops. Sunblock, sunglasses, and a hat are a must. Lastly, don’t forget to bring a water bottle and lots of energy!
Tonight enjoy dinner at Ergon House Offers amazing Greek Food with great fresh produce; and a really refreshing and modern ambience. This is an indoor dining option.

The local residents on Paros would tell you that their island is the most inviting of all the Cyclades. While they may be biased, it’s hard not to agree once you’re there. The gentle waves and sneaking coves beckon visitors like a siren’s song, and the people are so hospitable you may end up in someone’s home for family dinner. Brandishing its community spirit, Paros is also on track to become the first plastic-free island in the Mediterranean.

Through Paros’ green and flowery meadows, along hillsides and down into cool valleys, a path of weathered, grey marble flagstones meanders from the pretty hillside village of Lefkes to Prodromos, a small, old, fortified Cycladic settlement. This is the Byzantine Road, built about one thousand years ago as part of the main thoroughfare across Paros from Paroikia to Piso Livadi, at a time when the Aegean Sea was infested with pirates. Today, the Byzantine Road offers a lovely and only mildly strenuous amble that covers 3.5 kilometers, crossing the island’s interior.
Follow your guide to learn about the famous Parian marble, the Byzantine footprint, the old traditions all while admiring beautiful scenery and nature.

One of the most fun things to do for Londoners and visitors alike is a ride on the London Eye, the big spinning wheel next to the Big Ben. The ride lasts for about half an hour and gives you a panoramic view of the city!

Big Ben is probably the world's most famous clock. That iconic silhouette is instantly recognizable and is one of the most Instagrammed landmarks on the planet.
