About your itinerary
?
Don't forget that if something isn't quite right we can make changes to the itinerary.
I am delighted to present you with your incredible itinerary for a group adventure to gorgeous Greece. On this trip, you'll be able to experience the bustling capital hub of Athens, the unspoiled and underrated paradise of Milos, as well as the iconic Cycladic islands of Santorini and Mykonos.
Throughout your trip, you'll have the opportunity to join in on some wonderful already-included excursions, including a walking tour of Athens and ATV rental in Milos, as well as optional extra activities, beyond those that are included, such as a Delos Island tour, or a sunset cruise in Santorini.
As is our recommendation with all group travellers, I've included an extra night in Athens before the beginning of your group trip that will help in not only combatting any jet lag, but also allows you to settle into the majesty of Greece early, check-in to your group's hotel, and enjoy a seamless experience from start to finish. You'll also experience some fabulous private transfers on your arrival in Athens and your departure in Mykonos and the additional night in Athens we spoke through on the phone.
We'll be here every step of the way, ensuring your itinerary runs flawlessly upon your arrival in Greece. In location, you'll have direct access to one of our team who will travel with you all as your fabulous group leader. We'll handle all aspects of your booking – you only need to arrive at Athens International Airport, and from there our team on the ground will take you on the adventure of a lifetime.
This is one of our most popular trips so I can assure you, you won't be disappointed. I'm really looking forward to catching up tomorrow and hopefully getting this incredible trip in your diary.
Have a gorgeous day and enjoy reading!
Best wishes,
Samantha McCormack
