Greece, where ancient history meets breathtaking sunsets, beautiful beaches and piercing blue skies.

Our island-hopping adventure begins on Crete, the country’s largest and most populous island. Crete has it all: gorgeous beaches, a rich history, authentic traditions and wonderful cuisine. Discover Rethymno’s Old Town, taking in the charming Venetian Harbor and impressive Fortezza Fortress. Opt in to experience a traditional Greek cooking class in the charming village of Vamos, where you can learn to prepare authentic Cretan dishes using local ingredients and traditional techniques.

Wander through this picturesque town before heading to Oia, the perfect spot to experience one of the island’s breathtaking sunsets. The Santorini archipelago is home to an active volcano, and you will have the option to take a tour to discover its unique volcanic landscapes.
From Santorini, we make our way to Syros, one of the beautiful islands of the Cyclades. Known for its white sandy beaches and clear turquoise waters, Syros offers a wonderful blend of natural beauty and culture. Arrive by boat with stunning views of the island and a preview of its incredible architecture. Walk the streets of Ermoupoli, the island’s capital, explore local shops, admire its elegant marble buildings and take in the beautiful scenery. Opt in to spend a day exploring the glamorous island of Mykonos, known for its charming whitewashed streets, iconic windmills and beautiful waterfront.
