Don’t miss your chance to explore Athens and the enchanting Greek Isles, where timeless history, sun-drenched shores, and vibrant culture come together for the ultimate Mediterranean escape. Your journey begins in Athens, the cradle of Western civilization where ancient landmarks like the Acropolis and Parthenon rise above a modern, bustling capital full of charm, cafés, and culture.

Then, set sail across the sparkling Aegean Sea on a three-night Greek Island cruise, with stops in some of the region’s most iconic destinations. Wander the whitewashed lanes of Mykonos, soak in seaside beauty and ancient ruins in Kuşadası, Turkey, and embrace the peaceful spiritual atmosphere of Patmos. Discover the rich Minoan heritage of Crete, and cap off your island-hopping adventure with the caldera views and legendary sunsets of Santorini. End your journey with two additional nights in Athens, giving you time to explore ancient ruins at your own pace and reflect on the unforgettable memories you’ve made throughout your Greek adventure.

Your package includes round-trip international flights, superior hotel accommodations in Athens for three nights plus a half-day city tour, a Greek Island cruise for three nights, daily breakfast, all meals aboard the cruise, and all transfers.

So that we can offer you the best deals, our packages are, like most hotels and cruises, priced based on double occupancy rooms or cabins. We charge solo travelers an extra fee to cover the extra costs of single occupancy rooms or cabins. (Consider: if you booked a $200/night hotel room solo, you would pay the $200 yourself; but if a couple booked the same room, each one would pay only $100.) But you only pay extra for the rooms or cabins, nothing else, including meals, sightseeing, tips, etc. Why are single rooms more?
