Greece

Welcome to Greece! Upon arrival, you’ll be met at the airport and transferred to our hotel near the city center — a smooth, easy start designed to help you settle in comfortably. After time to rest and refresh, we’ll gather for a relaxed orientation and our first shared dinner together at one of Athens’ best restaurants, offering a warm introduction to Greek cuisine and the days ahead.

This evening is about easing into the journey, meeting the women you’ll be traveling with, and letting the atmosphere of Greece gently unfold.

Today we explore Athens with an expert guide who brings the city’s long and layered history into clear focus. We visit the Acropolis and Parthenon, followed by other important landmarks including the Temple of Zeus, Hadrian’s Arch, and the marble Kallimarmaro Stadium, built for the first modern Olympic Games.

We then wander the narrow streets of Plaka, where ancient ruins sit alongside cafés and small shops, before visiting the Acropolis Museum to deepen our understanding of what we’ve seen. Along the way, we pause for simple local tastes — including souvlaki and Greek coffee — before sitting down for lunch at a neighborhood taverna.

The evening is free to enjoy at your own pace, whether that means a gentle walk through lively neighborhoods, a rooftop drink with Acropolis views, or simply relaxing after a full and meaningful day.

This morning we step into the world of Greek weaving, guided by a skilled artisan who shares how textile traditions have shaped everyday life from antiquity to the present. We take part in the process ourselves — preparing wool, setting threads, and weaving a small piece to take home — creating a tangible connection to Greek domestic culture.

The afternoon is free for you to enjoy Athens as you wish. Options include strolling through the National Garden, visiting a museum, browsing food shops and markets, or lingering over coffee in one of the city’s elegant neighborhoods. In the evening, we come together again for dinner.

Leaving Athens, we travel toward the mountains of central Greece, with stops along the way to stretch and rest. After lunch, we arrive at Delphi — one of the most sacred places of the ancient world — set high on the slopes of Mount Parnassus.

With our guide, we explore the sanctuary at a comfortable pace, moving through its terraced layout and learning how people once came here seeking guidance from the Oracle of Apollo. The sweeping views across the valley help explain why the ancient Greeks believed this was the center of the world. We then visit the Delphi Museum before continuing on to the mountain town of Arachova, where we check in and enjoy dinner after a full and fascinating day.

Today blends countryside traditions with a slower, sensory pace. We drive toward the Nemea region, stopping at a family-run honey workshop and bee museum to learn about Greek beekeeping and taste several varieties of honey. For those interested, there’s the option to observe the hives safely with protective gear.

From there, we continue to one of Greece’s most important wine regions for a guided tasting at a respected winery set among vineyards. After lunch, we drive onward to Nafplio — once the first capital of modern Greece — known for its elegant old town and waterfront promenade. After checking in, the rest of the day is yours to unwind and enjoy the relaxed rhythm of this coastal town.

We leave Nafplio this morning and return to Athens to board our ferry to Naxos. As the largest island in the Cyclades, Naxos feels grounded and authentic, with fertile valleys, mountain villages, and a pace that invites you to slow down.

After arrival and check-in, you’ll have time to settle in before an evening walk through town and the castle area. Dinner is at a local restaurant, followed by a sweet stop to try one of Naxos’ well-known waffles — a simple, joyful end to the day.

Today takes us into the agricultural heart of Naxos. We visit the village of Eggares to learn about traditional olive oil production, then continue to Galini for a farm-to-table cooking experience. After walking through the organic farm and gathering ingredients, we prepare a traditional dish together and enjoy the meal we’ve created.

The remainder of the day is free to enjoy the island — whether that means time by the sea, wandering the port town, shopping, or settling into a café with a view as the light changes toward evening.

Today is intentionally unstructured, giving you the freedom to enjoy Naxos in your own way. You might spend time at one of the island’s beautiful beaches, wander Naxos Town and the Kastro, explore inland villages, or visit ancient sites scattered across the countryside.

Your tour leader will be available to help you plan a day that suits your energy and interests — whether active, relaxed, or somewhere in between.

After breakfast, we ferry to Paros, an island known for its whitewashed villages, clear waters, and long maritime history. Once checked in, the afternoon is free to explore Naousa, one of the Cyclades’ most charming harbor towns, filled with cafés, small shops, and easy places to linger.

As evening approaches, we gather for dinner as the harbor lights come on, enjoying the relaxed atmosphere that makes Paros so inviting.

Today we explore Paros more deeply, beginning in Parikia with a visit to the Church of a Hundred Doors, one of Greece’s most important religious sites. We then travel across the island, stopping at marble quarries that explain Paros’ historic importance, and continue to Lefkes, a hill village of quiet lanes and shaded squares.

After lunch, we return to Naousa, where there’s time to wander, sit by the water, and enjoy the simple pleasures of island life.

Our final full day is free to enjoy Paros in the way that feels right to you. Options include a short ferry to Antiparos, a coastal boat trip, village walks, time at Paros Park, or simply relaxing by the sea. In the evening, we come together for a farewell dinner — a chance to reflect, laugh, and celebrate the journey we’ve shared.

Today we'll head to the airport in the morning for our 45-minute flight back to Athens, where the tour will officially come to an end. From here you can connect with your departing flight home.

*Please note that your return flight from Athens should depart at 3:00 PM or later in order to have enough time to transfer to the International Departures area of the airport.
