Daily Itinerary

Day 1 Jun 27, 2026 - Athens (Lavrion)
Day 2 Jun 28, 2026 - Tinos

Located in the southern Aegean Sea, this small Greek island has an uncharacteristically varied landscape that includes warm sandy beaches, fruitful plains and looming mountain ridges. Tinos islanders have added to the natural beauty of the island by utilizing its natural marble resources to create stone walkways between villages and terraces on the hillsides. However, Tinos is probably most famous for the Church of Panagia Evangelistria, the destination of a yearly pilgrimage and home to an icon of the Virgin Mary. Other points of interest include Tinos’ quaint villages, an abundance of windmills and artistic dovecotes as well as the Venetian fortifications atop Exobourgo Mountain.

Day 3 Jun 29, 2026 - Polyaigos
Day 4 Jun 30, 2026 - Serifos
Day 5 Jul 01, 2026 - Monemvasia

At the far end of Peloponnese, on the southern east coast of the peninsula looking on to Mirtoon Sea, stands Monemvasia. A distinctly shaped great rock rising from the sea only a few meters from the coast, it is often referred to as the "Gibraltar of Greece". On the north side of the bay there are a few houses in the small village of Old Monemvasia. Visit the cemetery where in 1989 the famous Greek poet Ioannis Ritsos was buried. The lower town of Monemvasia is called "the Fortress" today. A wall protects the lower town on three sides. There are several churches around like Panagia Chrisafitissa, Panagia Mirtidiotissa, Chistos Elkomenos, Agia Sofia. On the east side of the main square stands a house with a garden containing remains of the early Byzantine church. To the west, there is the "Stellakis" house that was reconstructed and gave a lot of information about the architectural details and appearance of the medieval town. A small zigzag path connects lower town with upper town. The Fort city of Monemvasia with a one and only gate turns dream into reality.

Day 6 Jul 02, 2026 - Kythnos, Greece

There are many beautiful beaches on Kythnos, and visitors flock here for the relaxing mineral spring spas due to the proximity of Vesuvious. There are cafes, a few bars and clubs, but the main for of entertainment in Kythnos is dining. The best way to get to the beaches and explore the rest of the island is by motorbike.

Day 7 Jul 03, 2026 - Spetses

Spetses Island is located in southeast Europe and pertains to the Greek archipelago. Spetses Island is visited by many as a weekend destination for its closest proximity to Athens. This destination offers plenty of activities, such as swimming, a visit to the Bouboulina’s Museum or simply spending the day at one of their many spas.It also hosts the biggest Triathlon Sprint  attracting athletes from all over the world.
