Visit the Acropolis and the Parthenon.

You can also visit the famous "Adrian’s Gate" in honor of the Roman Emperor, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, built during the Roman period, and the largest temple in Greece at the time, the Hellenic Parliament to witness the change of Guards at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and Ermou Street, the heart of the capital’s commercial district.

Do not hesitate to explore the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first modern Olympic Games were held, the National Library, and a little further away the National Archaeological Museum.

Blue Line - Piraeus

If you arrive by cruise you can begin your tour immediately upon disembarkation from any of the stops specifically located in the vicinity of the cruise terminal. You will marvel at the charming ports of Pasalimani, Turcolimano, the yacht marina, and even "Mikrolimano", the old port of Piraeus. By combining the Orange Line with the Blue Line you will not miss out on the impressive new Acropolis Museum or the Acropolis Hill with superb views of the Parthenon.

Yellow Line - Glyfada

Begin your tour of the Athenian Riviera from the "Planetarium" stop of the Blue Line. Discover how once one of the least populated places has now become one of the most cosmopolitan areas of Greece. From the Stavros Niarchos Foundation to the largest marina, in the Mediterranean "Marina Alimou", the Yellow Line to Glyfada is a mixture of history and modernism; a combination of old-time culture and contemporary entertainment.

In the afternoon, you will begin your sunset tour of the area, starting from one of the six operating monasteries of Meteora, Agios Stefanos, or Roussanou. You will visit the oldest standing monument, the Byzantine church of the Virgin Mary located in the old town of Kalambaka.

You will then head to the ancient hermitages of Badovas, hear about the stories and legends, and enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views.

Day 5 Volos To The Sporades Islands: Alonissos
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Volos To The Sporades Islands: Alonissos

Early in the morning, and after a generous breakfast, you will take the ferry to the Sporades Islands. During the ferry crossing you will enjoy the paradisiacal landscape of this archipelago until you reach your destination: Alonissos: an ideal island for nature lovers.

In Alonissos, you will have the opportunity to observe shoals of dolphins, monk seals, and all the creatures that populate and take refuge in the National Marine Park, founded in 1992.

The old capital, called Chorio or Liadromia, is built on the top of a hill. The devastating earthquake of 1965 destroyed a large number of traditional houses, the ruins of which can still be seen today. Many of them have been restored, especially by foreigners, who have gradually settled in the area.

Upon your arrival, our representative will be waiting for you to transfer you to your hotel. The rest of the day will be free for you to explore this picturesque island, take a stroll in the streets of its capital, and visit the 15th-century Venetian fort, offering sweeping views to the sea, as well as the main harbor of Patitiri, with the beautiful stone paved waterfront.
Day 6 Alonissos - Protected Natural Habitats And Serene Places Ideal For Relaxation
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Alonissos - Protected Natural Habitats And Serene Places Ideal For Relaxation

After a tasty breakfast, you will have a free day to enjoy this fascinating island. With dense vegetation, large pine forests in rocky terrain, olive groves, and orchards, Alonissos has many surprises for you in store.

First of all, it is the proud host of the National Marine Park, a protected area and the ideal place for diving and exploring the underwater sea world. Here you will be able to see the remnants of the 5th century BC shipwreck and afterward, if you are looking for a serene place to relax, you can lie on the beach of Kokino Castro, "the red castle", which was the first settlement of the island.

Another very popular beach is Agios Dimitrios, a place that has repeatedly been recognized for its commitment to environmental conservation.

At night, we suggest trying a typical fish and seafood dish in one of the taverns.
Day 7 From Alonissos To Skopelos - Our Adventure Continues!
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

From Alonissos To Skopelos - Our Adventure Continues!

After a delicious breakfast, our representative will pick you up to transfer you to the port of Alonissos, where you will board the ferry to the island of Skopelos.

This island has become famous for being the setting of the screen musical Mamma Mia! and from the very first moment, you will see the perfect film location unravel before you!

Upon arrival in Skopelos we will transfer you to your hotel and, along the way, we will introduce you to the unique attractions of this famous island.

The rest of the day is free for you to relax and enjoy a visit to the capital, Chora, which dominates from the top of a hill and extends from the castle down to the port in an amphitheatrical style.
Day 8 Skopelos - The Emerald Island
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Skopelos - The Emerald Island

After your breakfast, you will have a whole day to visit the most stunning places in Skopelos, strolling through the traditional alleys and enjoying a lovely meal in one of its bustling taverns.

If you wish, you can start by visiting the locations, where the movie Mamma Mia! was filmed and, most likely, also inspired you to visit the island. Agios Ioannis at Kastri is the small church, where the wedding scene was shot and, while the climb may seem steep, the views are worth the effort.

The most famous beach in Skopelos is Kastani, also shown in the film and, although it can get very busy and crowded, it is so vast that you are bound to enjoy it. Also, on the southwest coast of the island, you will find the wonderful, sun-drenched beaches of Panormos and Milia, where you can swim and sunbathe.

However, as they are located at some distance from Chora, we suggest hiring a car or a motorbike, while for more secluded coves, remote bays, and serene beaches, we suggest hiring a small boat.

Optionally, as there is much more to see on this beautiful island, you have the option of extending your stay in Skopelos by adding extra nights during step 1 of 3 of your reservation.
Day 9 From Skopelos To The Island Of Skiathos
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

From Skopelos To The Island Of Skiathos

In the morning we will enjoy a lovely breakfast and then, we will be transferred to the port to take the ferry to Skiathos.

This is the most famous island of the Sporades, the only one with an airport, which not only serves domestic but also some international flights, too, especially during the summer season. Thanks to its beaches and the fun atmosphere, it is also known as the "Capri of the Aegean".

Upon arrival at the port of Skiathos, we will be transferred to our hotel, where you can first take a rest and then set out on a splendid tour of the town at your own pace.
Day 10 Skiathos - "Capri Of The Aegean"
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Skiathos - "Capri Of The Aegean"

Very close to the Chora of Skiathos, you will find Kastro, the old medieval capital of the island, which was a fortified city with its 14th-century fortress facing the cliffs.
