Discover the magic of Athens and the Greek Isles of Paros and Naxos. This tour is designed for the independent traveler that loves to spend their days exploring the ancient secrets of the Greek islands, or basking on the sun-splashed Mediterranean beaches. Spend the evenings dining, dancing and enjoying everything the islands have to offer.
Spend two nights in Athens, stepping back in time as you explore the magnificent ancient ruins. Then, set off across the sparkling sea to start your Greek island hopping adventure. The first stop is the stunning island of Paros, adorned with whitewashed buildings connected by winding footpaths, neoclassical mansions, and postcard-worthy beaches. Board a high speed ferry and journey to the next island: Naxos. Stroll through the winding stone alleys and narrow arched alleys, admiring a variety of castles, temples, churches and archaeological sites that call the island home.
