Luxury Honeymoon in Greece

ITINERARY

• DAY 1
  A woman taking photo of Parthenon in Athens

  Welcome to Athens, Greece

  Welcome to Greece!
  
  Upon arrival, your driver will be waiting for you at the airport with a sign with your name on it. You will be transferred to your hotel to spend the day at leisure to relax and rest after your overseas flight.
  
  Athens’ heyday was around 400 years BC; that’s when built most classical monuments. During the Byzantine and Turkish eras, the city decayed into just an insignificant little village, only to become the capital of newly-liberated Greece in 1833. Ahead of the 2004 Olympics, it transformed almost the entire infrastructure: the Metro, trams, new ring roads, and viaducts have eased the pressure of the heavy traffic.
  
  Athens is still a rather messy and chaotic place—it wouldn’t be Athens otherwise—and despite all the improvements, it still retains a great deal of its oriental charm. The whole coastal stretch from Piraeus to the old Hellenikon airport has been improved with new plantings, viaducts, and paths for walking. The Plaka district is becoming more and more popular, and it is on the way to catching up with Psyrri, Gazi, and Rouf regarding restaurants.
  
  Discover the beauties of the Anafiotika district at the feet of the Acropolis, and visit the ancient village still housed in the midst of the city. In Exarchia, there is still a somewhat in-your-face anarchic atmosphere around the Technical University. Meanwhile, Kolonaki is becoming chicer and chicer.

  Honeymoon in Greece

  Milos - Boat trip to Polyegos and Kleftiko

  The yacht will depart from the village of Pollonia in the morning, setting a course to Polyegos island, the biggest uninhabited island in Greece. After about 50 minutes, she will arrive at the Blue Waters location south of the island. It is a famous yachting destination, recognized worldwide for the turquoise color of the sea due to the bright white rocks surrounding the area. We start first refreshing swimming stop about 30 minutes. Then we will head back to Milos, towards the south side of the island.
  
  Next, stop at the beach of Gerakas. Close to a significant deposit of perlite (one of the most famous minerals of Milos), Gerakas is only approachable by the sea. Long white sand slides of perlite meet the sea offering an impressive setting. Another 30 mins of swimming and then we start again with the destination of Kleftiko! Provatas, and Gerontas, reach about 1.5 hours later, Kleftiko! The yacht will cruise along the south side of Milos, where you will witness the coastline with the beaches of Paliochori, Aghia Kyriaki, Tsigrado, and Fyriplaka.
  Kleftiko is the famous landmark of Milos. Here we will have a more extended stop allowing plenty of time for snorkeling (equipment is available onboard) and underwater pictures with the action camera (available onboard). Last but not least, a cave tour with a small tender boat to the sea caves of Kleftiko. The area here is full of sea caves, and it’s impossible to swim along all of them (they are too many and far apart), so with our tender boat navigated by one of our crew members, you will get to see most of them! Lunch will be served during the stop in Kleftiko. Traditional dishes such as chicken with lemon sauce accompanied by Greek salad. Alternative options are provided for those with special dietary requirements. Greek bottled dry white wine will complete this gastronomical journey.
  
  Once we have enjoyed Kleftiko, the yacht will return to Pollonia via the south side with the last swim stop in Tsigrado or Fyrligos beach. The boat then will stop at the south shore of Provatas, from where you will be transferred by minibus back to Pollonia. In this way, you will not have to spend time sailing around, and you will have more time available to enjoy your swimming stops.

Traces of their existence can be found in Kleftiko, where the pirates’ bollards for their ships can be sculpted on the spectacular rocks beside blue-green water next to the caves.

Wander around the little town, level with the water, and wait for the sunset.

  Honeymoon in Santorini

  Santorini - The island's beauty has been waxed lyrical over the years

  The pickup time will advise for your transfer to your hotel. Your driver will deliver you to Milos Port. After about 2 hours, you will be in Santorini port. Upon arrival, you meet with your driver at the dock with a sign with your name. You will be transferred privately to your hotel.
  
  The island's beauty has been waxed lyrical over the years, fully earning the epithet "Kallista" (the most beautiful). Along with "Strogili," this was one of the former names lent to the island over its troubled history. Its history is one of the battles and conquers, of a tragic eruption and a blossoming renaissance – events that haven't altered Santorini's charm, but that undoubtedly scarred it. Together with the inhabited Therania and five other smaller islands, Thera (Santorini's Greek name) belongs to the namesake archipelago, the vestige of a volcanic caldera. Places of unspoiled nature and postcard-like views, the islands are reachable by boat and bear the original appeal of the old-fashioned Santorini. The main island is split further into picturesque villages masterly painted in dazzling blue and white hues, outlining the holiday resort's multi-faceted personality and its extraordinary variety of landscapes.
  The scent of wine grapes and vineyards stretching lazily down Santorini's unrefined hills; the unique taste of tomatoes grown solely on volcanic soil and the soaring temperature of the island; the fine sand or the smoothness of white pebbles and turquoise waters of some of Europe's most suggestive beaches; the upbeat sound of the buzzing nightlife; the spectacle of the sun setting behind the village of Oia and the caldera to finally plunge into the skyline.
  Santorini gratifies all five senses, treating the traveler to enchanting views and thousands of colors.

  A Couple on Sunset in Santorini, Greece

  Santorini - Caldera Sunset Cruise

  Without mentioning dazzling panoramas, the mesmerizing sea of vibrant villages, Santorini's culinary tradition would be something worth experiencing on its own. Borrowing a pronounced Mediterranean diet from the mainland, Santorini shares a tendency to use vegetables, quality olive oil, meat, and fresh seafood generously, creating its own cuisine by adding products that are cultivated solely on its fertile soil.
  
  Try the island's peculiar white eggplants with mozzarella, or sample the unique "Tomatokeftedes," tomato fritters made of Santorini's own produce, and accompany it beautifully with a glass of Vinsanto – Santorini is in all aspects a work of art, and its souvenirs and local produce doubtlessly reflect the island's beautiful facets. Oia and, above all, Fira is the island's major shopping destination, places of unrivaled charm where traditional shops line up neatly down narrow streets.
  
  In Santorini, a visit to one of the local art galleries is a must: evocative handicrafts, folk art, and jewelry can be bought at accessible prices, guaranteeing a souvenir that mirrors the authenticity of the villages. Another worthy shopping experience is all about local produce. The diversity of products makes it hard to choose from the numerous delicacies grown on the island's volcanic soil. Fava, the Greek version of split peas, is particularly unique in Santorini, and it is used to make a down-to-earth yet scrumptious puree. The island's grapes make a heavenly wine exported worldwide and can be bought in any local wineries. Last comes Santorini's trademark tomato, the locals' pride and a must-try for food lovers - wonderfully flavorful and juicy.
  
  Afternoon - Caldera Sunset Cruise
  Starting from the port of Vlychada port, the cruise passes by Red and White Beach, with a stop at Black Mountain. It will then give by the Lighthouse South of the Caldera and the Hot Springs at the Volcano. The next stop is Thirassia, where lunch will be served. You will then sail towards the port of Ammoudi for a spectacular view of Oia. The return route will offer beautiful Fira views and sunset views before entering the port of Vlychada.
