I am delighted to present you with your stunning itinerary for your special 5-year anniversary trip to Greece.
Welcome to the enchanting world of Greece, I am delighted to present you with your extraordinary luxury Greece itinerary exploring the ancient City of Athens, the enchanting island of Mykonos, and the romantic island of Santorini.
Starting your time in the heart of Athens, I have chosen the beautiful boutique hotel Ergon House, which is perfectly situated in the heart of Athens and a great location to be in. My favorite element of this hotel is the food market located within, perfect for tasting some amazing Greek produce. I know you both wanted to explore the ancient side of Athens and have included an LGBT-friendly guide that will show you this truly amazing side of this ancient city.
It's time to visit some of Greece's most iconic islands with your first stop being Mykonos. Being the LGBT hub of Greece it truly is a vibrant and social place to visit. I have chosen the Myconian Avaton which I know will be the perfect resort for your time on Mykonos. The hotel is situated close to Elias Beach, one of Mykonos' famous LGBT beaches and the hotel offers shuttle services into the town should you wish to explore. As I wanted you to get out on the waters in Mykonos, I couldn't think of a better option than a truly stunning sunset Catamaran.
Finally, you will arrive in Santorini and will be staying at the beautiful Dana Villas which will give you a room with a view that will leave you breathless. I have left time your time in Santorini completely free as It's the perfect chance to soak up the romance in the air with countless options of stunning restaurants that have truly remarkable views of the caldera and the surroundings.
Due to the low availability in Greece on the initial dates starting around the 7th of June, I think it would be best to push the trip back by 1 week as this ensures we were in and around the amount you were looking to spend.
I am so excited to speak with you tomorrow at 7:00 am EST and hear your thoughts on this spectacular itinerary.

Welcome to Athens
Welcome to Athens
Equal measures of grunge and grace, Athens is a spirited mix of history and edginess. The Greek capital rewards open-minded travelers with spontaneous discoveries.
As you wander through the winding streets of Athens, you'll be transported to a world of ancient myths and legends. The Acropolis, with its towering columns and majestic temples, will leave you in awe of the city's rich history and culture. The Parthenon, one of the most famous landmarks in the world, is a sight to behold, with its intricate carvings and stunning architecture.
But Athens is not just about ancient history. The city is also a hub of modern culture and innovation. The vibrant neighborhoods of Monastiraki and Psirri are home to some of the city's best restaurants, cafes, and bars. Here, you can indulge in delicious Greek cuisine, sip on local wines, and soak up the lively atmosphere of the city.
Private Vehicle from Athens International Airport to Ergon House
Private Vehicle from Athens International Airport to Ergon House
A private transfer will pick the group up from Athens Airport and drop you at the stunning Ergon House, perfectly located to enjoy the best that Athens has to offer.
Ergon House for 2 nights
Ergon House for 2 nights
Completing this holistic hospitality experience built on the foundations of Greek Food, Ergon House offers contemporary living spaces spread over the floors above the marketplace. All rooms include the hotel's signature breakfast and come in four sizes, with privileged access to communal kitchens and lounges, a gym and a panoramic rooftop terrace.
The spaces are a collaboration with leading local designers and artists – the tribute to Greece ever-present in natural materials, traditional craft and references to the vernacular, paired with a strong contemporary line.
Large, double-glazed windows invite all the spectacle and none of the soundtrack to views of the Parthenon and city, or the buzz of the Agora. Seamless service is a given and we’ve done away with in-room dining because the whole Ergon House experience places food centre stage.
So, while the curated minibar delicatessen should tide you over, the Agora awaits some of the best food in town, or fresh market ingredients with which to make your own magic in one of the dedicated kitchens.
Your room: Small Room
Every comfort you need is considered in SMALL’s compact space with custom mood lights, fittings and furniture, arranged in an open layout that is loosely screened by the retro chic of breeze blocks used on the Greek islands in the ‘60s. The twin beds or a raised four-poster bed reminiscent of the traditional ‘ontades’ of Pelion is the centrepiece to ultra-contemporary interiors that feature an open closet and wireless work area.
Natural daylight floods through large double-glazed windows with atrium views as well as a glass brick feature wall. In the wet areas, walnut parquets transition to grey marble and patterned tiles inspired by medieval ‘xysta’ motifs found on the island of Chios. Beautiful basins, hand-carved from time-worn marble steps, are a pleasing contrast to sleek, brushed brass fixtures in a bathroom stocked with natural products that are custom-made for Ergon House.
