This Island Hopping is truly a showcase of quintessential Greek excellence. It begins in Athens, widely recognized as the Birthplace of Western Civilization, where you will spend two nights and visit the monuments of its Golden Age, including the Acropolis, the Parthenon and the renowned Acropolis Museum. You then travel and spend three nights in Santorini, the island believed by many to be the site of the lost continent of Atlantis. Here you can climb up by foot, by car or on donkey-back to Fira, the very attractive little town and island capital. As you will move around Santorini you will be overwhelmed by the beauty of its landscapes, After Santorini we direct you to the very heart of the Cyclades Islands where the isle of Paros is situated with its extensive coastline. You will stay two nights in Paros, and bask in the ambiance of the Aegean island one dreams about…fertile valleys, rolling hills dotted with small churches and monasteries, endless sandy beaches with sparkling blue waters. Our last island is Mykonos, a whitewahed fishing village that attracts a sophisticated crowd of artists and intellectuals. In Mykonos you may also visit Hora, the island capital, and enjoy a walk along its narrow cobbled streets until reaching Alefkandra, a charming corner of Hora, with houses are built on the sea, which evoke Venice.  A selected choice of hotel accommodations is offered throughout.
