About your itinerary
?
Don't forget that if something isn't quite right we can make changes to the itinerary.
I am super excited to present you with your updated birthday trip to Greece, giving you the opportunity yot explore historic Athens, followed by beautiful Mykonos. Following your email, I have made the following amendments to bring the price down:
– Swapped you to the dreamy Ergon House in central Athens
– Included 2x Small Rooms with breakfast
– Amended your ferry to include Standard Class seats
– Swapped you to the equally as beautiful Myconoian Korali
– Included 2x Panoramic Rooms with breakfast
– Bought your stay in Mykonos down from 5 nights to 4
– Removed your catamaran tour in Mykonos
With these changes, I have bought the per person price down from £3,726 to £2,960 without impacting quality. Of course this price would be splitting the total evenly between the three of you.
I'm excited to catch up this afternoon to talk everything through.

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 Transfer from ATH to Ergon House
Private Transfer from ATH 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 3 nights
Ergon House for 3 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:
Classic Rooms are stylish and contemporary, imbued with the light and lines of the Cyclades. Offering the perfect setting for travelers seeking a haven of peace and serenity in the heart of the city, rooms are equipped with a sumptuous queen bed, a luxury en-suite bathroom, and a desk area.
