Whitewashed walls, colourful doors, purple bougainvillea bushes, cobblestone streets, blue-domes roofs, and sparkling indigo waters…. What comes to mind? Correct – Greece!
Like Atlas, who carried the entire world on his shoulders, Athens carries a huge responsibility to live up to the expectations of its numerous visitors. And it does not fail. It is here we start our trip. Athens has been the centre of Greek civilization for over 4,000 years. It is an ancient city still dominated by 5th century landmarks like the Acropolis and the Parthenon temple. It is a cosmopolitan, grungy, graceful, bustling, modern, yet ancient city. You have to visit it to understand the vibe that is so uniquely Athens and a private walking tour of introduces you to this edgy capital.
High above the landscape of Meteora in Greece’s central region, 60 monks and nuns live in fabled monasteries, perched on the edge of sandstone peaks. The landscape is beautiful, to say the least. Visit the stunning monasteries at Meteora, where wind-swept monoliths rise abruptly from the earth, with vertical cliffs forming a dramatic backdrop against the flat fields around them.
The next stop is Mykonos, where all the fun happens!
Well known for its minimal architecture, Mykonos is full of traditional whitewashed houses and blue-domed churches. Mykonos is one of the most famous Greek islands for its cosmopolitan atmosphere and vivid nightlife.
And any Grecian holiday is incomplete without a visit to Santorini. Santorini, with its rugged landscape, owes allegiance to a rather violent volcanic eruption that took place many moons ago. The city evokes images of white, cubist houses clinging precariously to rugged cliffs, overlooking the bluest sparkling indigo waters of the Aegean. And the sunsets can make even the most stone-hearted emotional! Witness gorgeous sunsets from your very hotel in Santorini.
We select luxurious properties, in the city centre, and given how tiny European Hotel rooms can be; we
select the room category with care -holidays are about pampering after all and all the more in gorgeous Greece.
