ITINERARY

This tour will be 15 nights in length.

Athens - 2 Nights - The Capital City of Greece combines the old and new with classical sites and modern buildings. Not to be missed are the Parthenon on top of the Acropolis, the Ancient Agora and the changing of the guard at Syntagma Square.

Mykonos - 5 Nights - Mykonos is the cosmopolitan centre of the Cyclades. Windmills, whitewashed cube-shaped houses are scattered about. In the narrow streets of the town, chapels, homes and picturesque tavernas hide among the shops and stores.   Delos - short boat trip from Mykonos The ancient Holy Island of Delos is a vast archaeological site. For many centuries it was the religious centre of Greece. It was the centre of the circle of the Cyclades islands and the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis.

Santorini - 8 Nights - Claimed by some to be the lost land of Atlantis, it's geological particularities, it's past, and it's imposing scenery single out Santorini (Thira) from the rest of the Cyclades. This unique island captures all the essence of the Greek islands. It's bright white domed houses and blue domed churches cling to the 1000-ft. cliff sides of the caldera formed by the volcano's explosion in 1500 B.C. A whole civilization is coming to light at the archaeological sites at Akrotiri, the prehistoric city, where the ruins of Ancient Thira lie.
