Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 – Arrival

Upon arrival via private transfer, settle into your hotel before meeting a certified wine expert in Thiseio. Under the gaze of the Acropolis, embark on a sophisticated journey through five Greek wines, paired with local cheeses and rusks while learning about the god Dionysus. This intimate session concludes with an expert-led virtual tour of Attica’s vineyards, providing a perfect introduction to Greek culinary heritage.

Day 2 – The Birth of Ancient Myths

Join a certified guide for a 4-hour immersive journey into the birth and evolution of Athens. You will explore the Acropolis, including the Parthenon, Erechtheion, and the Temple of Athena Nike, while diving into the myths and legends that shaped ancient society. Afterward, spend a leisurely afternoon independently wandering through the narrow, bougainvillea-lined streets of the historic Plaka neighborhood.

Day 3 – Transition to Mykonian Glamour

Board a morning high-speed ferry for a seamless 2-hour and 20-minute journey to the island of Mykonos. After a private driver escorts you to your boutique accommodation, your day is free for relaxation until the evening. We recommend an atmospheric walk through the whitewashed alleys of Chora to witness a world-famous sunset from the waterfront balconies of Little Venice.

Day 4 – Sacred Ruins & Secluded Shores

Set sail from the Mykonos Old Port for an adventure to the sacred island of Delos, the mythical birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. After exploring these UNESCO-protected ancient ruins, escape the crowds to the uninhabited island of Rhenia. Here, you can snorkel in crystalline turquoise waters before enjoying a freshly prepared Mediterranean BBQ lunch served right on the boat.

Day 5 – Departure

Hidden Gems & High Peaks Embark on a private exploration of the island’s hidden side in a Jeep Renegade with a local expert. The journey begins at the iconic Armenistis Lighthouse for panoramic Aegean views and continues to the secluded beaches of Agios Sostis and Kalafati. Before your final private transfer to the airport, wander through the quaint streets of Ano Mera to experience the island’s serene, traditional heart.
