After breakfast you will meet our collaborator at the lobby of your hotel or someplace nearby, to start morning half day Athens sightseeing tour. This quintessential tour of Athens includes some of the city’s most iconic sites, like the Panathenaic Stadium, the Academy of Athens, the Temple of Olympian Zeus and of course the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum.
In the morning you will be transferred from your hotel to the port by your driver in order to board the boat to Mykonos. Once you arrive in the jewel of the Cyclades, our local collaborator will pick you up and transfer you to your hotel. Take the rest of the day to acclimate yourself to the islandic way of life and prepare for the next few days that await you.
During the two following days you will have ample opportunity to explore Mykonos and experience all it has to offer. Mykonos is a cosmopolitan haven at heart, with the appearance of picturesque, quaint island. This unique combination can appear surreal to newcomers as they enjoy a meal in the finest restaurants with tiny churches and whitewashed houses quietly decorating the background. Since you will have plenty of time in Mykonos, a tour of the neighboring islands of Rinia & Delos is an opportunity you shouldn’t miss out on.
