Where You Will Stay:
Each stop on this tour has you staying in lodging as fabulous as the destination themselves:
- New Hotel - A visionary take on creating something new from the vestiges of something old, the New Hotel is the brainchild of Brazilian design influencers, the Campana brothers. The brothers are renowned for transforming everyday objects into artworks and their innovative design concept takes salvaged furniture, fixtures and fittings from the previous hotel that occupied the site and reuses them in an avant-garde fashion.
- Salt Suites - Located at the edge of Pollonia, right on the water, Salt Suites is a characterful, boutique hotel offering expansive sea views. Modern, bright and minimalist, its deceptively simple design and tranquil location make it a great place to relax and unwind.
- Santorini Secret Suites & Spa - Located in the caldera in the heart of Oia, Santorini Secret Suites & Spa is a boutique property with a magical setting. The pedestrian marble walkway through Oia separates the main part of the hotel, which descends into the caldera along stone staircases, and the hotel’s villa which is at street level.
- Belvedere Mykonos - A petite Grand Hotel rooted in the tradition of age-old splendour. Elegantly shifting through the decades, it has carried the essence of old Mykonos into the modern age, transforming nostalgia into a genuinely social hospitality experience.

- Santorini Private Boat Trip - On this private, half-day boat trip around the island, you’ll get to examine the layers of the steep pumice cliffs up close, see the vivid hues caused by mineral deposits, and swim in waters warmed by geothermal activity. With views of the whitewashed villages on the clifftops, you can swim and snorkel in coves only accessible from the water, and finish with a sunset meal on board.
- Athens Food Lover's Tour - This private, half-day walking tour gives you an introduction to the city’s markets, delis, bakers and food purveyors as well as Greek food traditions and customs. You’ll explore the heart of Athens as well as the up-and-coming area of Psirri, where the Varvakios Agora, Athens’s central market, is located, enjoying many food stops along the way.
- Ancient Olympia and the Olympia Museum - Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games in the 8th century, is a vast site with many remains of temples and the original training facilities used by ancient Greek competitors. It can be a little overwhelming for the first-time visitor, but on this tour, you’ll be accompanied by a private guide who’ll walk you around the site, ensuring you see its highlights. They’ll help bring the ruins to life and put them into context, explaining the political circumstances that led to the inception of the games, athletes’ training regimes, cheating and bribery, and the perks of being a winning athlete.
- Delphi - Once, visitors came to Delphi on foot or by boat then hiked an ancient path up to the site. Today, Delphi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors arrive by coach to climb the long track, known as the Sacred Way, which leads to the Temple of Apollo at the top of the hill.
