Itinerary
Day 1: Overnight Flight
Board your overnight flight to Athens, the cradle of Western Civilization and one of the oldest cities in the world. Pro tip: if you’re looking to earn some bonus points with the locals upon arrival, make sure you refer to Greece by its real name: Hellas.
Day 2: Arrive in Athens + Welcome Dinner
Welcome to Athens! This city is at least 5,000 years old, but hardly looks a day over 25 (when you look past the historic structures and ancient statues). What we’re trying to say is, Athens is a beautiful city filled with art, literature, history, and about a million Instagram-worthy spots. And it’s the first stop on your journey through the Greek Islands.
In the evening, enjoy a Welcome Dinner of local cuisine and drinks with fellow travelers at an authentic local spot. Afterwards, you’re free to take the party elsewhere!
- Meet an EF representative at the airport
- Transfer to your accommodation and check in
- Receive the latest schedule from your Tour Director
- Meet your fellow travelers as they arrive
- Get acquainted with Athens on a brief walk around the city with your Tour Director.

This trip had the perfect mixture of everything, from scenic views in Santorini to wild nights in Ios. I can’t even explain how amazing this trip was all I can say is YOU HAVE to book!!!
If you’re considering taking this tour…DO It. It was amazing.
The perfect trip if you want to dance the night away and eat all the delicious gyros. I had the best time and Ios was my favorite island! If you want a mixture of night life and adventure, this is the trip for you!
Made new life long friends, created amazing memories and the tour guide Billy was PHENOMENAL!! Booking another EF trip rn!! Don’t second guess it!! Book the trip even if you go alone, YOU WILL MAKE FRIENDS 🩷
Wow! What a vacation! This was my first EF trip and it was such a healthy balance of relaxation and new things to do. Plenty of opportunities to try new foods, meet unforgettable people, and experience Greek culture!! Couple of notes: -While this is a party trip, I don’t drink...
I won hundred percent would recommend this tour to anybody who is unsure. The community of the other people in the group was so good and our amazing tour guide Billy was the best person to guide us through the cities and islands. We talked to so many people, and learned so much...
