The holiday starts with a 2-night stay at the ‘eternal’ city of Athens, the capital of one of the most powerful civilizations of the ancient world. Walk hand in hand with history and visit some of its architectural masterpieces like the Acropolis and the Parthenon temple. A visit to Athens would seem incomplete without visiting its shining jewels, the Acropolis Museum and the National Archaeological Museum.
In Athens, we’ve chosen Acropolis Ami Boutique Hotel. Completely renovated in a classical style, this small modern hotel has just opened its doors to welcome guests with genuine and warm typical Greek hospitality. The hotel boasts a great location at the foot of the Acropolis, a few minutes’ walk from the new Acropolis Museum, and features a wonderful roof garden with an amazing view of the Parthenon and a panoramic view of Athens.
After Athens, you will visit Santorini, possibly the most romantic and picturesque Greek island, born from an ancient volcanic eruption. Its stupendous cliffs rise 900 feet from a half-moon caldera, making it a fascinating island to explore. Picturesque villages teeter on the rocky sides, and whitewashed Cycladic houses perfectly complement the blue-domed rooftops. In Santorini, you will stay at the 4-star Orizontes Hotel & Villas for 2 nights. Orizontes Hotel & Villas is ideally situated between the town of Fira and Pyrgos village, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Santorini Island, the renowned Caldera and Volcano, Fira, Oia, Akrotiri, and the crystal-clear blue waters of the Aegean. The hotel is built on top of a hill surrounded by vineyards and combines the traditional architecture of the Cycladic islands with modern interior design.
The last 4 nights will be spent in Crete at the 5 Star I-Resort, Beach Hotel & Spa on an All-Inclusive Board Basis. I-Resort, Beach Hotel & Spa, is a modern complex located on the north coast of Crete Island, in the center of a village called Stalis. The elegant luxury guest rooms, exceptional services, and a wide variety of facilities surrounded by a private beach promise a timeless vacation experience that can be treasured for a lifetime.
