Week-Long Greece Family Vacation in June

When you are dressed and ready, you can head down to the lobby to meet your private guide for the day. Tidbits of philosophy and divinity will fill your mind as you begin your ascent to the legendary Acropolis. As your guide details the history behind the ancient Greek gods and Doric architecture, you will realize that you are not just learning of the past, but living it. After you have finished conversing with ancient gods at the Acropolis, your family will enjoy an evening trip to the Temple of Poseidon on Cape Sounion.

Today, your family will be sailing to the spectacular Poros Island on a 50-foot catamaran yacht. You can bask in sunshine and the Aegean Sea as you glide toward some of the most exquisite beaches in the world. When you arrive, you will climb a century-old clock tower that provides a striking view of the Mediterranean Sea. Next, you will visit the Poros Museum, where a private guide will explain the origin and significance of this ancient seaport village. No trip to Greece would be complete without a proper beach day, and for your family, that day will be today.

This morning, you will wake up early, pack your belongings, and your hotel will send a driver to escort you to a local helicopter port. There is something mesmerizing about hovering above the land in a helicopter. As you travel from Athens to Crete, your pilot will be your guide and will detail the history of each island and caldera that you pass. Afterward, your guide will drive you to an ancient Minoan site and provide your family with all the necessary tools for an excavating expedition. Your guide will also explain to your children the proper techniques that a real archeologist would employ in digging a site like this.

Around mid-morning, your guide will arrive at your hotel to embark on your off-road excursion. Your experienced driver will swiftly and safely navigate through the Dikti Mountains while simultaneously answering any questions you may have about this transcendent region. Eventually, you will arrive at Psychro Cave for a private tour. Once you exit the cave, the sightseeing portion of your adventure will begin. You will discover the brilliant Lassithi Plateau windmill farm, experience the impressive Aposelemis Dam, and bask in its breathtaking view of the Aposelemis Lake.

Today will be your last full day in Greece, and you and your family will be eager to make the most of it. After an exciting speedboat ride, you will land on Naxos, where a personal driver will be waiting to transfer you to your beautiful hotel. After a bit of rest and relaxation, a guide will escort you to the famed Portara. Your family will spend its final afternoon in Greece meandering through the wonderful maze of artesian shops, cafes, and jewelers in Naxos’ Old Town. Finally, you will stop at a local pastry shop and savor a final baklava.

Your final day has arrived. You and your family will wake up early enough to catch a glimpse of your last sunrise over the Aegean Sea, and your hotel will provide breakfast. Shortly after, a private escort will arrive to lead your family to the airport.
