Greece: Athens & the Islands

Ancient history in Athens, then whitewashed villages and caldera sunsets on the islands.

Sample 8-night trip · April to October 2027

How I’d plan it

  • Days 1–3: Athens. The Acropolis with a guide, the Plaka and a food tour.
  • Days 4–8: the islands. Santorini for the caldera and a sunset sail, and Mykonos or Naxos for beaches.

  • Private transfers between stops
  • The experiences above, booked for your dates

Good to know

This is a sample itinerary, not a priced package. I’ll quote it for your dates, airport and hotels. Summer in Europe books up early, so the sooner the better. A passport valid at least three months past your return is required for these countries. Booked through Fora Travel, Inc.; Traveling Wahoo LLC is an independent travel advisor.
