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 was incredible!! I felt like there was the perfect balance of free time and planned activities (if you choose to do the excursions). Keep in mind, the wine tasting is basically a full day which includes transportation to other parts of Santorini that would be difficult...
I had the time of my life on this tour. Greg G. was an incredible tour guide and gave so many fun recommendations! EF makes it so incredibly easy to travel throughout the country and the islands, everything was perfect. Would 100% do again.
Had the most wonderful time in this trip! And had the best tour guide director, Victor! Highly recommend him 😌 From the start he made everyone so comfortable and he was knowledgeable about everything and anything he said. Would definitely book another trip with EF!! The trip...
Wanted to start of by saying our TD was amazing !! Marios was great and probably the best TD I have ever had! He was super welcoming and genuinely cared about our time in Greece. (He’ll also tell you so many fun facts about the country haha) Couldn’t have asked for anyone else !...
