It makes sense that ancient gods and goddesses settled down in Greece. For starters, the islands average 300 days of sunshine annually. Then there’s the clear-blue water, the crazy-tasty diet, and the #nofilter sunsets. It all gives OMG a whole new meaning, doesn’t it?

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!

I definitely recommend this trip. I’m so glad I went with EF vs on my own because I’m sure it’s very difficult to get around the islands and pretty pricey. Our tour guide was fantastic (never had a bad tour guide with EF) and food was great! Just booked my 5th trip with this...

I had an amazing time on this trip. I booked this trip to recover from a mental health relapse earlier this year, and I had a lot of nerves and anxiety about my first ever international trip - especially as a female solo traveler in Europe for the first time. I am SO lucky to...
