Itinerary

Take a look at the full itinerary and some of the many events and tours you can take advantage of during your Greek vacation. Remember, the beauty of our trip is that it provides the necessary transportation, city-center accommodations, and featured tours and events, but is flexible enough to give you the power to pick and choose what it is that you really want to do on your trip to Greece.

Please Note: Tour usually requires an overnight departure on Friday, May 21st.

Day 1: Saturday – Arrive in Athens, Greece
Arrive in the early morning to Athens and take your provided transfer to the Central Hotel, located in the heart of the Old City of Plaka and the Acropolis, only 200 m. away from the Constitution square, the city’s business district.  Once you check-in, you’ll have the opportunity to rest up before exploring the many historic sights of the city, either on your own or on a guided tour.  A welcome party will be scheduled to properly welcome you to Greece, possibly with a shot of Ouzo or two!

Day 2: Sunday – Athens to Santorini
This morning, you will take a shuttle to the ferry terminal and depart for the beautiful journey to Santorini at around 7:30am.  It’s quite the ride at 4+ hours aboard the high-speed ferry but well worth it.  Santorini is the most extraordinary island in the Aegean Sea, rightly been called the black pearl of the Aegean Sea and offering some of most exciting sunsets in the world. After checking-in to the Rocabella Resort & Spa, enjoy the afternoon poolside, or wander the streets where you might just end up at a cafe longer than you expect. Tonight we’ll host a welcome party at a local bar or cafe.

Day 3: Monday – Santorini
Enjoy breakfast at your hotel this morning while you take in the surrounding scenery. The day is yours to experience Santorini at your own pace or take advantage of one of the featured tours which will be available to you which may include a sailing tour, or a visit to Santorini Volcano. Tonight, plan on catching the sunset in Fira while you grab a drink at the Tropical Bar.  Then onto the Town Square, the social pulse of Santorini. It is the prime gathering spot on the island, the place where people begin and often end their nights. Tonight is the night to let loose and stay out late at one of the discos, cafes, or bars in Santorini.

Day 4: Tuesday – Santorini
After breakfast, enjoy your last full day in Santorini while you may choose to wander through the various villages, take a guided tour of the Museum of Prehistoric Thera, or perhaps visit the Boutari Winery.  Or, plan on heading to the beaches of Perissa or Kamari, known for their black beaches.  If you haven’t made it to Oia yet, make it by sunset to make your last night in Santorini a memorable one.  Ask your tour host for details on tonight’s event.

Day 5: Wednesday – Santorini to Mykonos
This morning, you’ll board a high-speed ferry for a 3 1/2 hour journey to Mykonos, the most well-known of the Greek Islands.  Mykonos offers beautiful beaches, beautiful people, cafes, bars, tours and attractions, and unbelievable nightlife.  Much like your arrival into Santorini, we recommend resting up before heading out on the town, as it can get to be a long, tiring day.  Tonight, we’ll feature another welcome party to start things off right in Mykonos.

Day 6: Thursday – Mykonos
Start your first full day in Mykonos off right with a hearty breakfast before planning your day of adventure. If you haven’t had a chance to enjoy the beach yet, now is the time to head down to Paradise Beach, the top attraction in Mykonos offering the best beach and nightlife to go with it.  This place gets pretty crazy and is not for the unsocial traveler!  If you’re not the beach type, there will be plenty of other things to do. Ask your tour host for a complete list of attractions.

Day 7: Friday – Mykonos
Choose your own adventure today, whether it be to explore Little Venice, visiting the Church of Paraportiani, or simply wandering the streets where sipping cocktails while people-watching never gets old!  Tonight, we’ll have a featured event at a local nightclub.

Day 8: Saturday – Mykonos to Athens
Today, you’ll board your last high-speed ferry back to Athens.  Upon arrival, you’ll be taken to the Central Athens Hotel where you can catch the sights you may have missed on the way in. Depending on who you are, you can either choose to rest up for the long day of travel tomorrow, or party like it’s 1999 and end your trip with a bang. Either way, enjoy it… as it will be your last night in Greece.

Day 9: Sunday – Depart Athens
Board the shuttle to the Athens airport where you can say goodbye to your new and old friends before planning next year’s reunion trip!
