Itinerary
Aegean Odyssey: From the Parthenon to the Caldera 8 days
8 days
Ancient history, Aegean culture and island life
Greece unfolds through a journey that combines ancient history, island life and the flavours of its Aegean culture. This 8 day trip begins in Athens, moving between the Acropolis and the city’s lively food markets before heading to the Cyclades. On Paros, explore by e-bike and boat, discovering quieter villages, coastal paths and the island’s culinary traditions along the way. From here, continue to Santorini, where the volcanic landscape shapes days on and around the caldera, with time to swim, sail and explore the less familiar island of Thirassia. Alongside the well-known sights, there is plenty of space to discover local life, food and landscapes at a slower pace.
