Experience stunning landscapes and in-depth cultural touring on this private luxury tour of the top highlights of Athens and some of the most memorable destinations and dramatic landscapes of the Cyclades islands, including Santorini and Milos.
Begin in 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. One afternoon, if desired, explore the lively Athens food markets to learn about local ingredients and see stalls overflowing with the freshest produce and seafood. Upon request, Artisans of Leisure can arrange an excursion along the beautiful coast to Cape Sounion to watch the sunset at the ancient Temple of Poseidon. There will also be time to enjoy the city’s excellent restaurants and lively neighborhoods.
Next, fly to Milos, a volcanic Greek island known for its spectacular beaches, rich geology and its most famous export, the Venus de Milo statue on display in the Louvre. During private touring, visit compelling archaeological sites such as the Roman theater and the prehistoric settlement of Phylakopi and the most impressive caves, rock formations and ancient catacombs. One day, enjoy an excursion to Sifnos, a small island near Milos known for its traditional crafts and flavorful cuisine. Explore mountainous landscapes, traditional pedestrian-only villages and historic churches. During private culinary touring, taste local specialties such as chickpea balls, manoura (cream cheese), mastelo (lamb cooked in red wine and spices) and honey pie. Visit a traditional ceramics workshop, take a private catamaran cruise and enjoy ample time to relax or swim at the island’s most stunning beaches.
Continue to unforgettable Santorini, a beautiful volcanic island with dramatic landscapes, and 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. Also enjoy time at leisure to relax at your resort. One day, enjoy a private cooking class or active touring such as horseback riding, hiking or biking along the wine routes. Upon request, Artisans of Leisure can arrange a private helicopter to visit the small peaceful nearby island of Folegandros.
