Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Piraeus
The port that launched Athenian democracy's naval supremacy at the Battle of Salamis, Piraeus remains Greece's maritime heartbeat — and the most convenient gateway to both the Acropolis and the Aegean island chains. Dine on grilled sea bream at a Mikrolimano harbourside taverna, visit the extraordinary bronze Piraeus Apollo, and set sail for Hydra or Santorini by afternoon. Late April through June and September offer the Aegean at its most golden and uncrowded.
Day 2
Day 2
Milos
Milos, a captivating volcanic island in the Aegean Sea, is renowned for its stunning landscapes, rich history, and delectable local cuisine. Must-do experiences include savoring traditional dishes like "pitarakia" and exploring the nearby ruins of Delos. The best season to visit is from late spring to early autumn when the weather is warm, and the island is alive with vibrant local culture.
Day 3
Day 3
Balos Beach
Balos Beach, a lagoon of graduating turquoise waters at the northwestern tip of Crete, presents what is widely considered one of Europe's most beautiful coastal landscapes — pink-white shell-sand meeting water so shallow and clear it seems illuminated from below. The Venetian fortress of Gramvousa crowns the scene from its clifftop perch, while the surrounding waters harbour loggerhead sea turtles and the critically endangered Mediterranean monk seal, combining Mediterranean beauty at its most intense with layers of Venetian, pirate, and revolutionary history.
Day 4
Day 4
Crete
Crete is Greece's largest island and the cradle of Minoan civilisation, offering the Palace of Knossos, dramatic gorge hikes, world-class beaches, and one of the Mediterranean's most celebrated cuisines. Must-dos include exploring Knossos and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, tasting wild-greens horta and aged graviera cheese, and swimming at Elafonisi's pink-sand beach. May through October offers the best weather, with spring wildflowers and autumn harvests providing seasonal highlights.
Day 5
Day 5
Santorini
Santorini, the ancient volcanic caldera rising from the Aegean, is Greece's most theatrical landscape — a crescentic island of sheer white cliffs plunging into an indigo sea, its clifftop villages of Fira and Oia draped in bougainvillea and culminating in the world's most photographed sunset. The island's unique Assyrtiko wine, grown on ancient ungrafted vines in volcanic pumice, is one of the Mediterranean's greatest expressions of terroir. Byzantine frescoes of extraordinary beauty fill the Prehistoric Museum of Thera. The volcanic black and red sand beaches of Perissa and Perivolos are unlike any others in Greece. April through June and September through October offer the finest conditions.
Day 6
Day 6
Bodrum
Bodrum is the site of ancient Halicarnassus and one of the Seven Wonders, now a whitewashed Aegean resort town where the Knights Hospitaller castle houses the world's finest underwater archaeology museum. Visit June or September via Explora Journeys or Virgin Voyages for peninsula village dining, Bronze Age shipwreck treasures, and Turkey's most seductive balance of ancient heritage and contemporary Mediterranean sophistication.
Day 7
Day 7
Mykonos
Mykonos is the Aegean at its most seductive — a labyrinth of bougainvillea-draped whitewashed alleys designed to disorient pirates (and occasionally visitors) leading to Kástro, the medieval hilltop quarter overlooking Little Venice, where balconied houses hang directly above the sea. The island's famous windmills, perched on a ridge above the old harbour, are best photographed at golden hour as pelicans patrol the waterfront below. Visit the sacred archaeological island of Delos — a 30-minute boat crossing — for one of the most significant ancient sites in the Greek world. May, June, and September offer the perfect balance of warmth, light, and bearable crowds.
