This adventure begins in the iconic hub of Athens and will take you on a journey through the fishing villages of Paros, the stunning island Naxos as well as the quintessential Santorini.

ATHENS

Kicking off the week-long journey, your tour starts in Athens. At the hands of a professional Tour Guide, your first induction to Greece is none other than the Acropolis itself. Prepare to see the architectural phenomenons in this ancient citadel featuring the iconic Parthenon temple. Overlooking the city of Athens, this bucket-list destination is a UNESCO World Heritage site which is a reminder of Greece’s rich history and the importance of preserving that history. Finishing off with an included dinner, it’s time to become acquainted with the other travellers on your tour.

PAROS

Jumping straight into your tour, day 2 travels to the charming island of Paros. Known for being one of the most picturesque islands of Greece, this 4000BC year old island is the third largest amongst the Cyclades and where you will get to explore the villages of Parikia, Lefkes, Prodromos and Aliki over a two night stay. Enjoy a scenic boat trip around the island, where you can swim and participate in watersports amongst the clearest blue waters you will find in Europe.

NAXOS

Next is Naxos! Home to some of Greece’s most famous beaches including Agios Georgios, Agios Prokopios & Agios Anna, your afternoon can be spent lounging or swimming in these lush spots. A visit to the Portara will also take place in Naxos. This unfinished temple for Apollo overlooks on a small promontory and is especially spectacular during Noxos’ breathtaking sunsets - which are famed in their own right. Known for being quite mountainous, Naxos is famous for its numerous Venetian towers, the Bazeos tower and ancient Greek ruins some of the locations you’ll be able to discover on our included Naxos Explorer Tour

SANTORINI

Set your sights on the stunning Santorini for the last leg of your Odyssey adventure. Santorini is synonymous with Greek travel and a destination you must experience! During your 3 day visit, explore Fira town and the village Oia, glide into the Caldera to witness the naturally formed heart shaped rock created by volcanic magma for some phenomenal photo opportunities. Finish with swimming at the iconic Perissa beach - or commonly known as the black sand beach, before heading to dinner in Fira and watching Santorini’s finest sunsets blanket behind the domes of blue roofs and white architecture.

Explore the hidden streets, city eats and become experts in Greek culture - all whilst making your way from island to island. An unmissable experience, the Greek Island Odyssey is your answer to exploring Greece in a unique way. Med Experience guarantees that locals are your main source of insider information where you can uncover Greece like one of its own.
