Day 1

Athens – Enter the Dream

Arrive in Athens and let the dream begin. The arid hills outside of the city are lined with olive trees giving the air a gentle floral scent that drifts along the terrain. You can see the Acropolis rising above the Old City, the pillars of ancient temples whitewashed against the open sky like clouds. The modern city surrounds the majestic antiquity blending the proud past with the friendly present. Walk along the Plaka, beneath the Acropolis, where the ancient buildings of Athens continue to stand and act as residences. You can practically imagine the men touting their restaurants, dressed in togas, proselytization the flavors of their restaurants. The cobblestones give an echo to each step. The scent of roasted meats and drizzled olive oil beckons to you. The delicacies of Greece are at your command; for a rich and unforgettable taste of Athens, sit along the lively pedestrian street of Drakou with the sensational delights at Skoumbri. The seafood is fresh, from zesty calamari to a burst of umami with each bite of grilled bream. Let the city pass you by as you blend into the feeling of seclusion amidst the dreamlike history.

Day 2

Athens – Private Thoughts of Antiquity

Delve into the majesty of history that sits within the enclosed spaces and out in the open air giving the entire city of Athens a museum-like quality. Your private tour begins within the walls of the new Acropolis Museum, where each room is bursting with statues and mosaics, busts and texts, filled with knowledge and ancient wonder taken from right where you’re standing, all wrapped inside the subtle musk of antiquity. The white marble stares out at you from stoic faces that represent the western world’s ideology of knowledge, steeped in the mythological quality that enshrouds ancient Athens. Out the window you can see the pillars of the Acropolis looming over the museum.

Follow your guide up the hillside, each step bringing you closer to the fantastic temples atop the plateau. Stand beneath the Propylaea, the official entryway to the courtyard. Walk beneath the pillars, the thick, large frames more imposing than you ever imagined. Step into the open air of the Acropolis where to the left stands the Erechtheion, the temple dedicated to both Athena and Poseidon. After they debated who should be the god of Athens; they let the city decide, and now an olive tree grows next to the temple to commemorate Athena’s gift to the people.

On the right you will come toe to toe with the central image of Greece’s past, the Parthenon, dedicated to Athena, connecting you to Greece in the privacy of your imagination. Stroll around the commanding columns. The portico is elevated, the pediment offering displays of horses and men, women, and knowledge. In your mind you can feel the crowd dissipate, giving you a quiet moment to encircle one of the most famous structures in history, made to be perceived as perfect from every angle. Eventually the crowd returns around you, the history of the acropolis revealed, and you make your way down the hill, stopping at the Pnyx, a small, rocky hill that was used as a meeting place for Athens’s democratic assembly. End your tour in Syntagma Square at the base of the Parliament building where the patient faces of Greek statues return in the form of the palace guards. Every hour their silence is replaced by orders and marching, changing the guards with precision and choreographed movement, giving the end of your private tour another quality enchantment.

Day 3

Mykonos – The Mind on Mykonos

Indulge in the rich treats of breakfast where the enticing aroma of citrus lingers around the fresh-squeezed orange juice. The velvety feta gives a sublime umami touch to the morning. After your meal you will whisper antio (goodbye) to Athens and open your arms with a bright Kalimera! (good morning) to Mykonos. A private transfer will have you situated and comfortable within your accommodation, the glimmering sea displaying three shades of blue. The sand is pure white, embracing the gentle rush of water that runs along the shore. The hills of Mykonos roll and fade into the ocean, the sweet perfume of the sea mixing with the arid, and slightly citrusy, terrain.

Day 4

Mykonos – Meet the Sun(god)

The morning brings the inviting aroma of fresh Greek coffee, the sweet and rich flavor reminding you of the stunning sea outside your accommodation; as if you would need to be reminded. Mykonos is yours to explore, with plenty of secluded beaches to indulge in, luxurious restaurants to dine in, and tiny, cobblestone streets to get lost on. Even with so much to discover there is also a chance to visit the special, uninhabited island of Delos, the birthplace of Apollo.

A short boat ride along the cool winds of the water brings you to the remains of a once prominent and prosperous trading port. Mosaics decorate the floors with geometric shapes, colors bouncing off of the marble. Lion statues stand poised, guarding the Sacred Lake where Apollo and Artemis were born. The island once attracted pilgrims from all over Greece attempting to reach and pay homage to Apollo's sanctuary. A gentle breeze winds through the ruins. An almost perfect façade of pillars and portico stands tall above the strewn boulders, a remnant of the wealthy and almost forgotten past. Within the museum you can see the smooth marbled bodies of Artemis, gracefully hunting, her hair raised, her hand poised, along with the tapestries and frescos that once made the island shine.

Day 5

Mykonos – The Desirable Beauty of Mykonos

The whole of Mykonos is once again at your pleasure and leisure, dressed and set for your desire to visit its dreamy beaches or to meander its sensual streets. Whether you feel like strolling along the unique and secluded labyrinth of Mykonos Town or lounging on the beaches beneath the comforts of sunscreen and an umbrella, let loose and let yourself wander; there is no reason why you couldn’t try it all. Set along the shores of Paradise Beach, one of the most famous beaches in all of Mykonos, you can place your feet in the hot sand, sit beneath the cool shade of the umbrellas, and sip the ice cold drink prepared just for you. Dip your toes into the water and feel the refreshing chill against the beat of the sun. Relax on your personal lounge or watch people saunter by as you sit along the boardwalk. If you prefer more seclusion, you can enjoy the empty stretch of sand at Fokos, where the water drifts from turquoise to sea-foam, and back again, situated far from the vibrant bustle of the south shores.

Breakfast

Day 6

Mykonos – Continuously Majestic Mykonos

The sun has kissed your cheeks giving you a gentle glow as the tan starts to set over you like a warm blanket. The secluded sand and water of the previous day gives you a restful energy. From the beach to the streets, today you can enjoy strolling through the delightful coil of Mykonos Town. The quintessential colors of Mykonos are white and blue, the buildings stretching along meandering cobblestones of the town that twist and turn, meant as a pirate deterrent. Shops and restaurants thrive with people along the waterway as the buildings climb just above the waves, making the stretch of homes and businesses resemble Venice. The scent of roast lamb and garlic tahini floats from storefronts, lingering around the open doors. Jewelry stores present opulent and pristine unique designs, giving passersby a reason to press their noses against the windows. Stroll down the lanes arm in arm, unafraid to get lost within the beautiful alleyways of the town. Let the fragrant and colorful salads catch your eye, the sweet honeyed baklava tempt you, and the entire island of Mykonos enchant you.

Breakfast

Day 7

Santorini – Picturesque to Picture Perfect

The morning brings with it the delectable light of the sun, casting a romantic golden orange along the horizon. Today you will depart from Mykonos on the hydrofoil, gliding over the opulent water of the Cyclades, and arriving beneath the cliffs of Santorini. The picturesque beaches of Mykonos are behind you but you look along the cliffs and can see perfection in the whitewashed homes topped with blue roofs, with the sun’s reflection bouncing from the walls to the water. The colors of the caldera shift from the turquoise water to the black sand beaches, and to the gray craggy islands in the short distance. You settle into secluded luxury, where infinity pools look like they stretch out into the sea, and the rich volcanic soil gives life to the local vineyards.

Day 8

Santorini – The Seduction of Sunset

The island is at your pleasure, ready to give you the privacy or beauty that you crave in the picture-perfect setting that has tempted you. The beaches are lush and warm. The towns are traditional and quaint. Let the colors of the island overtake you, filling you with a sense of passion. If you haven’t gotten your fill, you can always embark on a semi-private sunset catamaran curse. Board the catamaran at Vliahda Marina, the mist of the water rising around you. The fragrance of grilled zucchini mixes with the lush salt of the sea. The skipper touts the history of the island, his words getting lost in the wind. You watch the quintessential hues of Santorini dip and drift as the boat glides passed the lighthouse situated high atop the cliff and past the red beach where the oxidized sand drapes over the cliffside, adding immensity to the narrow shoreline. The boat stops at the white beach, the limestone cliff climbing into the sky and reminding you of the homes that drifted away earlier. Jump into the refreshing cool of the water and notice the clarity, the grave-like floor of the sea visible beneath you.

The boat continues to sail towards the caldera, the history of the island written on the jagged black rocks sprouting from the water, a reminder of the most recent eruption in the 1950s. Step into the water and float within the warmth of the hot springs, the clear water suddenly a royal blue, the rocks on the island glow with a rustic shine. Aboard the boat the aroma of grilled calamari, sautéed chicken, and roasted bell pepper fill the air. The succulent succession of a multi-course meal cooked and enjoyed along the water brings you a closer connection with the beauty of the islands. The sun begins to set and the sails rise, catching the breeze and bringing you to shore. The sky is filled with the rainbow of sunset stretching from corner to corner, bringing the cruise and the day to a blissful end.

Breakfast

Day 9

Santorini – More Astounding than a Dream

Santorini stretches over 35 square miles, filled with delightful wineries, seductive views, and superb pools; the hardest decision you’ll have to make is choosing what to do. There is always an awe-inspiring visit to the ancient city of Akrotiri. The city is known as the Grecian Pompeii, and the current rumor is that it was the inspiration for Plato’s tale of Atlantis. The streets are built on a grid, covered in ash and have been preserved for over 3,000 years. Stroll through the antique lanes where the essence of ancient volcanic activity looms large. Window frames remain open; pottery is positioned outside of doors. Multi-storied buildings have remained intact giving a sense of scale to the people and the city itself. Colored frescos bloom with vibrancy, such as two boys boxing, painted along the wall. If you haven’t fallen in love with history yet, you will here in the private space of the sensational remains.

Breakfast

Day 10

Santorini – The Dreamy Landscapes of Santorini

The sunlight expands over the island, giving an extra twinkle to the sea below. The streets are filled with the freshness of pastries. On your last day on the island there is no reason not to indulge in the capacious majesty that is everywhere you look; all you need is to see more. Step along the gravel path that sits between Oia and Fira. The cliffs rise over 1,000 feet where the water sparkles with various hues of blue. The path was originally meant for the infamous Santorini donkeys that have helped build the islands infrastructure, and are coveted by the locals. You can watch the water shift from the breathtaking sapphire to a glossy emerald as it reaches the shore and the small harbors that wrap around the cliffs. The arid landscape brings a beautiful bouquet of brush in the breeze. Whether from Fira to Oia or the reverse, you can stop and admire the view; the sensations of the island blossom in more than just the beaches, reaching out from the water and the rocks, the buildings and the people, and the houses beaming in the afternoon light. Stroll along the marbled pathways of Oia, down the steps and onto the remains of the castle, where you can look out over the sea and feel like the island was made just for you.

Breakfast

Day 11

Santorini – When It’s Time to Wake

Today, after a decadent breakfast, you will board your flight and be whisked away from Santorini bringing an elegant end to your Greece vacation. You have stepped into the private spaces of history, stood at the edges of enviable azure seas, strolled along the fantasy of aged cobblestone streets, and watched the sunset reflect off the white walls of Santorini. Your time in Greece may have ended but every time you close your eyes you will revisit the breathtaking majesties you found on your trip. Even though you may have left, the dream will never end.

Detailed Description

Let the dream continue on this 11-day trip meant to blur the lines between what’s possible in reality versus what dreams may come. Whether you’ve dreamed as a couple for years or recently started to share your thoughts about your love of Greece, this tour will take you together, inspire awe, and answer the question of whether the world could ever be this spectacular; the answer would be yes. From the ancient remains of Athens to the caldera of Santorini, whether the blissful beaches of Mykonos or the ancient city of Akrotiri, slip into the dream but make sure you don’t close your eyes.

The dream begins in Athens with a private tour of some of the most famous historical sights in history. Pillars pass you by, Greek busts and statues are on display in the Acropolis Museum as if they are home decorations, meant to be seen, not touched, but filled with family history. Your time in Athens gives way to the luscious waters of Mykonos where the beaches offer you seclusion or celebration; some offer both. The Windmills of the island decorate the shoreline and blend into the sky like clouds. The variety of options is at your whim to experience and explore; after all it is your dream. You could visit the island of Delos, the birthplace of Apollo and a once prominent port town. You could spend your days sitting in the shade with your feet stretched out in the warm sand holding a cool drink and your loved-one’s hand. You could do both. You could do neither but, whatever you do, you know it will be magical.

Your time on the islands will whisk you away to Santorini where the dreams found in the quintessential photos of Greece come to life. The white buildings have blue shutters and roofs and stretch along the cliffs that overlook the water. With four days to appreciate the wonders of the island, your time here could take you anywhere. Four days in dreamtime could take you on a romantic sunset cruise, sailing along the water with a fresh grill dinner and sparkling sea. It could take you through the ash-covered city of Akrotiri, known as Greece’s Pompeii; it could also take you on a hike along the cliff side letting you embrace the panorama of the island before you arrive at home wondering if it was all real; your memories tell you that it was.

Greece Anniversary Vacation Review: Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, Crete, Catamaran Cruise, Cooking Class, Wine Tasting, Hiking, Local Cuisine, 2-Week Trip

We recently returned from an incredible two-week Coral Anniversary trip to Greece and it exceeded every expectation. From the ancient wonders of Athens to the whitewashed villages of Mykonos, the dramatic cliffs of Santorini, and the authentic traditions of Crete, every stop offered something unique and unforgettable. Most importantly, the people we met along the way transformed a beautiful vacation into a truly special experience. The journey took us through Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, and Crete.

Outstanding Planning and Service

Every transfer, hotel, tour, ferry, flight, restaurant reservation, and activity was flawlessly coordinated by Zicasso's travel partner. The itinerary struck a perfect balance between guided experiences and personal exploration, allowing us to enjoy Greece without ever worrying about logistics.

Athens – History, Culture, and Exceptional Hospitality

Our stay at our hotel in Athens gave us incredible Acropolis views and a perfect base for exploring the city. Walking through the Acropolis with our guide and standing before the Parthenon was breathtaking. The Acropolis Museum and city highlights tour helped bring thousands of years of history to life.

One of the highlights of our anniversary celebration was dinner at a restaurant atop Lycabettus Hill. Watching the sun set behind the Acropolis while enjoying excellent Greek cuisine and wine was a magical experience and one we'll never forget.

We would especially like to recognize our driver in Athens. He was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making our trip memorable. During our day exploring the Argolis region, Epidaurus, Mycenae, and the Nemea wine country, he provided insights that helped us better appreciate the history and culture of Greece.

What truly distinguished our driver was his attention to detail. While we were traveling along the Athenian Riviera toward Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon, he realized we were hoping for a true seaside lunch experience. Without being asked, he contacted the travel company and coordinated everything to make a last-minute adjustment so we could enjoy lunch by the sea. That thoughtful gesture perfectly reflects the level of service he provided throughout our stay. It turned a wonderful day into one of our favorite memories of Athens.

Mykonos – Relaxation and the Beauty of the Aegean

Mykonos provided the perfect contrast to the historical focus of Athens. Staying at our hotel in Mykonos overlooking the Aegean Sea allowed us to fully appreciate the island's beauty.

We spent time exploring the charming streets of Mykonos Town, admiring the famous windmills, and enjoying the relaxed island atmosphere. A major highlight was our private catamaran cruise to Delos and Rhenia. Sailing through the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean while visiting the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Delos gave us a fascinating glimpse into one of the ancient world's most important religious centers. The secluded waters around Rhenia were stunning and provided some of the most beautiful scenery of our trip.

Santorini – Spectacular Views and Unforgettable Sunsets

Santorini is every bit as beautiful as the photographs suggest and somehow even more impressive in person. Our stay in Oia overlooking the caldera was breathtaking. Whether enjoying breakfast with panoramic views or simply walking through the village, every moment felt special.

The wine-tasting experiences at a winery were outstanding. Sampling the island's distinctive Assyrtiko wines while learning about Santorini's unique volcanic terroir gave us a new appreciation for Greek winemaking. The carefully paired food-and-wine experiences were among the culinary highlights of the entire trip.

Our private sunset catamaran cruise around the caldera, White Beach, Red Beach, Black Beach, hot springs, and the volcano was another unforgettable experience. Watching the sunset from the water while enjoying dinner and local wine created one of the most memorable evenings of our anniversary trip.

Crete – The Heart of Greece

As amazing as Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini were, Crete became our favorite part of the journey.

Our quick stop at Knossos Palace and the historic city of Rethymnon allowed us to learn about the Minoan civilization and experience the rich blend of Venetian and Ottoman influences that define the island. The old Venetian harbor in Chania was equally impressive and provided a spectacular setting for our stay.

Samaria Gorge

One of the most rewarding experiences of our entire trip was hiking the Samaria Gorge. Covering 11 miles through one of Europe's most spectacular natural settings was challenging and incredibly rewarding. The dramatic cliffs, pristine landscape, and sheer scale of the gorge were unlike anything we had experienced before.

A tremendous part of that experience was our guide. Our guide brought expertise, enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for Crete that elevated the hike far beyond a typical excursion. His knowledge of the region, local culture, and natural environment made every step more meaningful.

Kissamos Villages and Cooking Class

Our final full day in Crete may have been the most authentic and memorable day of the entire trip.

The tour of the traditional villages of Kissamos provided a fascinating look at everyday Cretan life. Learning about olive oil production, tasting regional products, and experiencing rural villages gave us a perspective on Crete that most visitors never see.

The cooking class that followed was exceptional. Our host created an atmosphere that felt less like a tour and more like spending a day with friends. Together with his mother, he shared not only recipes, but the stories, traditions, and values that make Cretan culture so special.

For anyone traveling to Crete, we cannot recommend this tour company highly enough. Their commitment to authentic local experiences is truly outstanding.

This trip exceeded our expectations in every possible way. We experienced world-famous historical sites, breathtaking landscapes, incredible food and wine, beautiful hotels, and unforgettable adventures. Yet what we will remember most are the people who made the experience so special.

We returned home with wonderful memories, a deeper appreciation for Greek culture, and gratitude for everyone who helped make our anniversary celebration the trip of a lifetime.

Greece Tour Review: Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, Acropolis, Food Tour, Catamaran Cruise, 1 Week

We had a very good trip to Greece with Zicasso's travel specialist. We traveled to Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini with a group of six (three couples). They did a good job of finding nice and convenient hotels in each location, and we were also pleased with the Acropolis tour, food tours, and catamaran trip we took during the week.

Greece Tour Review: Athens, Santorini, Heraklion, Akrotiri, Knossos, Orthodox Easter, History, Culture, 16 Nights

Our travel specialist was an exceptional travel planner. I have planned many trips and my experience with her was at the top. I actually investigated working with Zicasso because I was interested in leveraging the planning of my trip as a cultural exchange with someone in-country who could provide their personal perspectives and insider tips. She delivered!

Our travel specialist had dinner with us the first night and gave us all sorts of insights on Athens and her recommendations. She also gave us her cell number and was available 24/7 for any needs we had throughout the trip. I have never had service like this. She was truly incredible and helped us navigate last-minute changes or additions flawlessly and with no stress.

She found small, family-owned hotels with lots of character for us to stay in. She organized a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Santorini to participate in all of the many festivities surrounding Greek Orthodox Easter; so many traditions and so very different than our American Easter. It was authentic, joyful, and an incredible cultural exchange in that we were welcomed wholeheartedly by the people of Santorini.

The guides she provided were locals who had deep knowledge and high academic credentials, so traveling with them was like going back to school and learning in the most amazing fully immersive manner.

Our guide in Santorini mentioned we must not miss Akrotiri on Santorini, so we made time to fit in this unexpected tour; turns out it blew our mind: an ancient Minoan city... and some say it may have been the lost city of Atlantis. The story of the town and its demise is stunning. Then, a visit to Knossos in Heraklion, Crete, with our PhD guide, a cultural anthropologist and archaeologist. She was able to share the historical perspective on the Minoan Palace of Knossos, but also the contemporary study of the subject and how the work of "pre-history" civilizations is done with limited Minoan language and documentation.

Our travel specialist planned a flawless trip of a lifetime for us, but we also made a friend in Athens. We are so very grateful.

Greece Trip Review: Athens, Santorini, Food Tour, Vineyard, 9 Nights

One of the best decisions I have made was booking my Greece trip with this Zicasso travel company The entire team was accommodating, responsive, and ensured a flawless trip. We stayed in Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini, having transportation provided to and from. The drivers, hotel partners, tour guides, and overall team were remarkable.

In Athens, I would highly recommend our guide for the Acropolis tour and our guide for the food tour. The Athens hotel was exceptional, right in the center of where you want to be.

In Mykonos, I would highly recommend the Jeep tour with our guide and the day trip to Delos and Rineia. Our stay at the hotel was beautiful.

In Santorini, I would highly recommend our guide and the driver for the walking tour and visit to a vineyard. The Oia boat company was great, serving up a fresh Greek feast right on board. The hotel suites were great, especially with the private hot tubs.

Overall, this was an exceptional experience, one we could not have gotten without our travel company. Our trip was planned in six weeks or less and the agents made the process so easy. Thank you!

Greece Tour Review: Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, History, Culture, Tradition, Local Cuisine, Shopping, 8 Nights

If you're considering a trip to Greece, look no further than Zicasso. Our travel expert planned an unforgettable journey for our family; Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini, and every detail was executed with care, expertise, and passion.

From the moment we arrived in Athens, we were immersed in the country’s warm hospitality. Our agent made sure we had the perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxation. The historical sites in Athens, like the Acropolis and the ancient Agora, were must-sees.

Mykonos is vibrant yet relaxed. The beaches were beautiful. Every meal on this trip was a highlight. Fresh seafood, local cheeses, olive oil, and delicious pastries—each bite told a story of Greece’s deep culinary heritage.

In Santorini, we were captivated by the island’s charm—whitewashed buildings, breathtaking sunsets, and the deep blue Aegean Sea. We visited traditional villages, giving us a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions that are still very much alive.

Throughout the trip, what stood out most—beyond the stunning landscapes and ancient history—was the friendliness of the Greek people. Their warmth and pride in their culture made every moment feel welcoming and genuine.

Our agent didn’t just plan a vacation—he created an experience rooted in history, tradition, and hospitality. I can’t recommend him and Zicasso highly enough.

Greece Tour Review: Athens, Peloponnese, Santorini, Messinia, Voidokilia, Pylos, Methoni, Monemvasia, Nafplio, Mystras Castle, Polylimnio Waterfalls, Elafonisos, Olive Oil Tasting, Hiking, 10 Nights

We had a wonderful and memorable trip to Greece, thanks to the Zicasso travel specialist’s excellent planning. In addition to exploring Athens, she designed a seamless road trip across the Peloponnese Peninsula that took us to beautiful beaches and ancient castles in Messinia, Voidokilia, Pylos, Methoni, Monemvasia, and Nafplio. She also provided clear directions and recommended great stops to break up our drives, including Mystras Castle and the beautiful Polylimnio Waterfalls.

Our hotel accommodations were excellent throughout the trip and we really enjoyed our stay in beautiful Santorini. We also appreciated her restaurant recommendations, which saved us from having to search for places to eat and always led us to great food. She stayed in touch via WhatsApp the entire time, checking in on us and answering our questions whenever they came up. There is so much to see in Greece that we’ll definitely need to go back for another visit.
