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. Your trip will see you exploring the Peloponnese by road, discovering Ancient Greek sites filled with history, wandering through Greek streets to try all the fantastic food on offer, spending time with each other as a family; and ending your trip on the Mediterranean beaches.

Santorini

Of Greece’s thousands of islands, none is more glamorized than Santorini. Dramatic cliffs formed from a volcanic eruption are dotted with white-washed villages, where labyrinthine stairways always lead to a jaw-dropping vista. The island’s popularity means there is world-class cuisine to be enjoyed, even if it’s as simple as the catch of the day at a local taverna. However good the menu is, the most memorable part of dinner is likely to be the view of the sun setting into the caldera.

Check into your hotel and settle in. The afternoon is yours to explore the island.

Athens

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.

Check into your hotel and settle in. The afternoon is yours to explore the city.

Your Stay: Four Seasons Astir Palace Athens

Why we love it for you: Astir means star in Greek, and Astir Palace has been the star property of the Athens Riviera since opening in 1958. Six decades later the hotel received a Four Seasons makeover, upgrading an already luxurious resort into the virtual palace it is today. Every room has views of the sea, but you only need to walk downstairs to dip your feet in the private beaches. Activities range from thrilling boat rides around nearby islands to sensational treatments at the destination spa.

Day 4: The Acropolis Beckons you!

Today you head to the heart of Athens, where a historical tour of the Acropolis is planned.

🏛️
The Acropolis and Acropolis Museum

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!
