Detailed Description

The unforgettable wonders of Greece take you on an 8-day adventure revealing idyllic coastlines and archeological treasures dating back to the 16th century BC. The culture remains lively and passionate about their past. The cuisine boasts regional flavors with ingredients abundant around the islands, coast, or mountains. Whether searching for thrills or relaxation, education or the wilds of the natural landscape, your Greek vacation brings the ancient world to life through fun activities and exhilarating discoveries taking you to Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini.

The journey begins with your arrival in Athens. The capital of Greece continues to attract visitors from around the world interested in discovering the cradle of Western Civilization. The Neoclassical architecture around Syntagma Square symbolizes the unfettered connection to the former city-state while also reflecting the birth of the contemporary country. The antique neighborhoods around the base of the Acropolis offer insight into the layers of civilizations captivated by the Golden Age of Athens, from the Romans to the Napoleonic army. The city lets the family dive deep into ancient history and continued traditions around the Plaka. Touring the Acropolis showcases the majesty of Classical architecture crowning the summit. The New Acropolis Museum offers examples of artifacts from the ancient world.

The island of Mykonos is known for its splendid beaches and lovely Chora, the main town. The cobbled lanes create a charming maze once used to deter pirate raids. The family can relax on the various beaches around the island or spend time wandering the pedestrianized streets of the town. The nearby island of Delos embodies the brilliance of Greek mythology with the ruins of a grand port city that has grown out of the legends of Apollo’s birthplace. Discover the spiritual center once hosting centers from cities across the country.

Santorini has an unparalleled charm personified in the soaring cliffs, colorful waters, and unique beaches. The whitewashed architecture contrasts the dark volcanic stone. Adventure abounds around the caldera. Trails connect the distant towns. The warm, serene waters of the caldera provide ample opportunities to sail and kayak. Secluded pebbled beaches offer a relaxing ambiance in which you can refresh your body and spirit in the abundant sunlight. The entire family will have a grand time traversing the wooden walkways of the ancient city of Akrotiri, a Minoan civilization buried in ash during an epic volcanic eruption in the 16th century.

Greece Tour Review: 2-Week Trip

Five stars are not enough! From the moment we connected, Zicasso's travel agency curated the perfect trip from start to finish. It was almost as if they knew the ins and outs of my family and our desires; they knocked it out of the park.

Traveling with two teenage girls, accommodations were important to us. Our hotel choices were perfect, spacious, and centrally located. Every tour was perfect, curated, and personal.

As first-time international travelers, we were a bit anxious. We were constantly supported by the travel company, getting our questions answered immediately at all times of the day or night. We had the trip of our dreams and could not have done it without this amazing agency.

Our travel agent was a delight, a mind reader and a consummate professional. The most sincere appreciation to all on this stellar team. I will shout this agency's name to everyone I know planning a trip. Thank you!
