Day 1-3

ATHENS, Greece

Let an Ancient Civilisation guru guide you around the ancient city
On a food tour, discover the intricacies of Greek cuisine with a culinary expert

Athens, the birthplace of western civilisation. Experience life in the shadow of the ever impressive Acropolis.

Begin your holiday in the country’s capital with two nights at the Athens Was Hotel. With a private guide, the city’s highlights are to be explored and experienced in depth. Listen as your guide paints a picture of Ancient Greece whilst exploring monuments and temples such as the
impressive Temple of Athena Nike. Spending half a day at the Acropolis is a must, and you can upgrade with a journey to the Parthenon. Athens is not just for history buffs, culture and food tours are a wonderful way to sample Greek specialities far removed from calamari and feta.

Discover Athens

Day 3-5

SPETSES, Greece

Head out to sea for a taste of deep sea fishing
Feast on a specially prepared picnic hamper full of culinary delights

A local car-free island where backgammon is played in the main square and from all vantage points you can see the sea.

Your next stop is the island of Spetses where you’ll spend two nights at the Poseidonion Grand Hotel. Spend your first morning self-exploring before being greeted by the Captain of your own sailing boat. From here, you’ll spend the day on the high seas, stopping for a swim in a private cove or to try your hand at fishing. Those seeking more adventure can take on the island by mountain bike, whilst horse-drawn carriage island rides are available for a more laid back experience.

Day 5-8

PELOPONNESE, Greece

Enjoy your final evening with a private dinner in a candlelit amphitheatre
Experience the coast from a private sailing boat

Step back in time to an authentic corner of Greece where life remains slow paced and far removed from the glamour of the islands.

Finish your trip in the Peloponnese with three nights at Amanzoe, one of the most spectacular hotels in Greece and the perfect place to recharge before returning home. We can arrange boat trips along the coast or a final guided visit to Epidaurus, one of the most important sites of Ancient Greece. Back at the hotel, an indulging spa treatment is a must and a private supper in the candle-lit amphitheatre is an unforgettable way to end your trip.

The Donnellys

We are just leaving the villa now to go to the hotel and I wanted to let you know that we have had the best week ever. I’m nearly crying leaving Angelina and Kimberly. We have never met kinder people who became part of our family for the week. They looked after us so so well and the kids adored them. Can we book again for next year? I can be happier leaving knowing that I will meet them again.
