Overview

Your Greece tour itinerary starts in the capital, Athens. This trip will take you from the hustle and bustle of the city to the white-washed paradise of the Cyclades, the infamous islands of Greece.

You'll have four days in Paros where, in between guided tours that take you to best swimming spots around the island, you'll have time to enjoy the pristine beaches, verdant nature and, not forgetting, the best Mediterranean food!

Then, you'll spend three days in Mykonos, the island that arguably put the beauty of Greece on the map, where tavernas, nightclubs and bars bring the island to life. During the day, you'll have time to explore smaller islands, and perhaps a sunset tour complete with wine and a delicious meal.

This trip will take you to paradise.
