One day, aboard your private yacht, visit neighboring islands such as Antiparos, and enjoy leisure time to swim and relax on beautiful beaches.

Travel by private yacht to the island of Ios before continuing to unforgettable Santorini, a beautiful volcanic island with dramatic landscapes, for a stay in a luxury resort overlooking the caldera. During private touring, visit the photogenic clifftop village of Oia, enjoy a wine tasting of Santorini's refreshing white and rose wines and tour the fascinating ruins of the ancient city of Akrotiri. One afternoon, enjoy a private boat excursion in the caldera with opportunities for swimming and stopping at the island's distinctive black- and red-sand beaches. Also enjoy time at leisure to relax at your resort. Upon request, Artisans of Leisure can arrange additional touring and activities, such as hiking or biking along the wine routes.

Next, enjoy a scenic private helicopter ride to the exclusive Amanzoe resort, one of the most luxurious properties in Greece, which overlooks an unspoiled coastline outside the town of Porto Heli. One day, take a private boat charter to explore the nearby islands of Spetses and Hydra. Another day, if desired, enjoy a private excursion to two UNESCO World Heritage sites: Mycenae, the ruins of an ancient fortified city, and Epidaurus, the remains of an ancient healing center known for its well-preserved theater. During leisure time, enjoy the serene surroundings, relax by one of the pools or at the beach club, dine on superb Greek cuisine, browse the library and take in the spectacular view from the yoga pavilion.

Next, see the ruins of ancient Corinth, the gateway to the Peloponnesian Peninsula, en route to Athens, the capital of Greece and a showcase of ancient civilization. During private touring with your expert guide, visit the city’s top sights such as the breathtaking Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of ancient ruins (including the Parthenon), and the wonderful Acropolis Museum. Also explore the Agora, local markets, and the charming, taverna-lined Plaka neighborhood. Depending on your interests, other options include riding the funicular up Mount Lycabettus or visiting specialty museums such as the Benaki Museum, Museum of Cycladic Art, National Museum of Contemporary Art and Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center.
