Greece Luxury Vacations

After you settle into your luxury hotel, visit the innovative Acropolis Museum with your expert guide. The museum’s glass design is equal in size and shape to the Parthenon. It also rotates the Marble sculptures and findings precisely as they were at the Parthenon centuries ago. After your immersion into the rich history of the Acropolis, dine at a nearby restaurant with breathtaking views of the Acropolis.

The next day, visit the Acropolis itself, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the most important ancient site in the Western world. Later, explore the Plaka neighborhood built on top of the residential areas of the ancient town of Athens and finish at the Ancient Agora and Roman Forums, all walking distance from your hotel. Enjoy lunch at a traditional tavern before heading back to your hotel to spend some time at leisure. Later in the evening, dine at a gourmet restaurant in town.

The following morning, head to a local home where you can participate in a private clay pottery class with a local artist. In the afternoon take a scenic hike from your hotel to Kastro, a picturesque, car-free village with over 3,000 years of history, for a walking tour through the ancient streets with your expert guide. Later, enjoy cocktails on the terrace of a local cafe, enjoying impressive views over the surrounding sea and mountains and continue down to the bay where you can enjoy a unique dinner at Cantina overlooking the water. 

The next day will begin with a visit to the famous Chrisopigi Monastery where you can explore with your local guide. You will then continue for a beachfront lunch at the village of Platis Gialos before enjoying a private boating excursion around Polyaigos. On this uninhabited island, you will enjoy swimming in the crystal-clear turquoise water while soaking up the bright Mediterranean sun.

The following day, explore Santorini’s caldera on a private sailing excursion. Depart from the Vlihada port located in the southern part of the island and sail to the famous red beach for swimming and snorkeling. Continue along the coast stopping at the white beach and the Akrotiri lighthouse. Later, pick up sail through the caldera lake to Thirasia Island, where you will hike to a spectacular lookout point for the best view of Santorini. In the late afternoon, head to the picturesque town of Pyrgos and sip on cocktails as you listen to classical music at Franco’s Bar, followed by dinner at Metaxi Mas.

On your third day, enjoy a private wine tasting before stopping at the forgotten village of Emporio. In the late afternoon, take a private transfer to Imerovigli for your 2-hour hike along the caldera’s cliffs. Stop along the way at a quaint church to take in panoramic views while listening to live folkloric Greek music playing just for your party. Finally, arrive at your hotel in time to watch the sunset in the privacy of your hotel room’s terrace.

On the last day of your private Greece tour, return to Athens by domestic flight to catch your international flight home.
