What's this trip about?

    Your Grecian getaway begins in historic yet modern Athens! Enjoy a guided half-day tour taking you through downtown and to the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum, where you'll uncover relics of Ancient Greece. You'll then spend the rest of your time in the capital on your own. Dig into hot souvlaki, explore more ruins or hike to the top of Philopappos Hill for incredible views over the city! From Athens, board a fast ferry to the glamorous island of Mykonos in the Cyclades. Get lost wandering the cobbled lanes of Chora, then spend a night out hopping from one trendy bar to the next. With 25 beaches spread across the island, you'll have plenty of opportunities to rest and relax, Mykonos style.  Please note: While it's less crowded with tourists, November to March can be quiet on the Greek islands and not all establishments will be open during this time.
