Your adventure to Greece will take you to a land of historical wonder, fantastic people, mouthwatering food and the shimmering islands of the Cyclades; Greece's most celebrated island chain. Welcome to paradise!
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.

Your flight arrives to Athens on June 18th in the late afternoon.
This flight is independently sourced
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 flight lands in Athens this afternoon.
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.

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.

The ancient name of Antiparos was Oliaros. A major Neolithic settlement has been unearthed at the neighbouring islet of Saliagos and it is considered to be the oldest in Cyclades; if you wish, today venture out to explore it.
Alternatively, spend some time in Hora (Town) of Antiparos. This town has been built around a 15th century Venetian castle. The stone-paved streets, the whitewashed alleys, the houses decorated with thriving pink and purple bougainvilleas and the central square with its shadowy eucalyptus trees create an enchanting atmosphere.

The stories of Greek mythology are tangible on Crete, where you can walk through the cave where Zeus was born or visit the ruins that housed the legendary Minotaur. Every beach is somehow more breathtaking than the last on over 600 miles of Mediterranean coastline, but move inland and it becomes mountains and gorges. Local cuisine focuses on sustainability and ingredients that travel yards, not miles, such as organic wine, cold-pressed olive oil, or fresh seafood.
This morning a private driver will greet you at the lobby of your hotel and transport you to the port for your transfer to Paros.

Crete is not only known for its amazing beaches, Venetian town and warm people; it is also known for its rivers and gorges and amazing natural landscapes.
Today descend a Cretan gorge and end by the scenic South coast on a less strenuous hike. It's 8 kilometers long, not too steep, and not too difficult, with a pleasantly changing scenset from the green start by the fertile Askyfou plain, to the rocky end near the dry south coast. It has some spectacular sections, particularly the very narrow passages, and several parts are shaded. It is suitable for anyone in good physical condition and requires no hiking experience.
Enjoy this pleasant, 3 hour hike on a mostly stoney trail, before driving to a beautiful beach, to relax and swim in the crystal clear waters of the Libyan Sea. After that, enjoy some time for an optional lunch in the coastal village of Sfakia, before returning to the hotel in the late afternoon.
Includes: Roundtrip Transfers, English-speaking hiking guide, Entry fees, and Traditional lunch.
Participants are encouraged to wear solid sneakers or light hiking shoes and have with them a backpack, hat, sunscreen, swimsuit, sandals/light shoes for the beach, and beach towel. Walking sticks are provided on request.
