Day-by-day itinerary
Met at the airport and driven into the city. The evening is for Plaka, the old quarter beneath the floodlit Acropolis, and a first Greek dinner in its lanes. Overnight in Athens. · Athens · Private airport transfer
The Acropolis early with a guide, before the heat and the coaches — the Parthenon, the Erechtheion and the view across the city — then the Acropolis Museum below it after lunch. The afternoon is Monastiraki and the flea market, or the Ancient Agora. Overnight in Athens. · Athens
Out to the Cyclades and up onto the caldera rim, with a private transfer from the port or airport. The afternoon is Fira and the cliff path towards Imerovigli, with the first sunset over the caldera from your own terrace or the nearest bar. Overnight on Santorini. · Santorini · Fast ferry or flight
