Your voyage begins in the bustling metropolis of Athens, where ancient ruins and contemporary charm coexist in perfect harmony. As you step foot in Athens, you're greeted by the majestic Acropolis towering over the city, a testament to Greece's rich heritage and enduring legacy. Explore the historic landmarks of the Acropolis, including the iconic Parthenon, before wandering through the picturesque streets of Plaka, where quaint tavernas and chic boutiques line the cobblestone pathways. Indulge in a culinary journey through Athens' diverse gastronomic landscape, sampling traditional Greek dishes such as souvlaki, moussaka, and spanakopita, as well as modern interpretations of Mediterranean cuisine at chic restaurants and rooftop bars. Savor the flavors of Greece's famous wines at wine bars and cellars, where sommeliers guide you through tastings of indigenous varietals from across the country.
Paros
From Athens, your journey continues to the enchanting island of Paros, a cosmopolitan gem in the heart of the Cyclades. Here, whitewashed villages cascade down hillsides overlooking crystal-clear waters, inviting you to explore their narrow alleyways and charming squares. Indulge in leisurely strolls along the waterfront promenade, dotted with trendy cafes and stylish boutiques, or spend your days lounging on sun-drenched beaches, soaking up the Mediterranean sun. Experience the island's culinary delights firsthand with cooking classes and food tours, where local chefs and experts share their knowledge of Parian cuisine and the island's rich culinary traditions. Explore Paros' wineries and vineyards, sampling award-winning wines made from indigenous grape varieties such as Monemvasia and Mandilaria, and savoring the unique terroir of the Cyclades.
Naxos
Next, venture to the laid-back island of Naxos, where authentic Greek hospitality and natural beauty await. Explore the island's rich history and culture as you wander through ancient ruins, medieval castles, and quaint villages frozen in time. Discover hidden gems tucked away in secluded coves and pristine beaches, perfect for a day of relaxation and rejuvenation. Delve into Naxian cuisine with farm-to-table dining experiences and visits to local producers, where you can sample artisanal cheeses, honey, olives, and olive oil, as well as traditional sweets such as loukoumades and amygdalota.
