Athens
Welcome to the historic city that will be the starting point of the best holidays of your life! Following your arrival to Athens, your driver will welcome you and transport you to your accommodation to settle in and freshen up. As an introduction to the Greek capital, you will enjoy a welcome dinner like a local! Taste traditional dishes of Greek cuisine your kids are bound to love and understand the hype around the local flavors and products.
The next day, wake up and meet with your kid-friendly, archeologist guide to embark on our private mythology Tour of the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. Hear the narration of the myths and legends behind each of the monuments on the sacred rock and watch your kids get enchanted by the mythical tales that will come to life before them. Afterward, walk the short distance to the Acropolis Museum to see the significant findings of the excavations of the Acropolis.
On the 3rd day, you can choose between a day trip to Mycenae and Nafplio or a Delphi day trip. On the first, you will pass by the striking Corinth Canal with your guide en route to the ancient fortified citadel of Mycenae, the picturesque city of Nafplio, and the home of the healer Asclepius, Epidaurus with its impressive theatre, famous for its impeccable acoustics. On the latter, you will visit Delphi, the spiritual center of ancient Greece, and have the archeologist guide explain the rituals that took place in the Temple of Apollo and the role of Pythia in the infamous Oracle of Delphi. Following your visit to the significant archeological site, you’ll visit a nearby town for a luscious Greek meal. The combination of education and entertainment will make both trips unforgettable for you and your children. For your final day in Athens, join our afternoon excursion to Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon that will include a swimming stop and sunset-gazing.

Paros
The 5th day of your trip will find you being transported to Athens International Airport to catch your 40-minute flight to one of the most popular Greek islands, Paros. After arriving in Paros, you’ll have the rest of the day at your disposal to let your kids get acquainted with their surroundings, relax, or even take your family on an adventure of your choice.
On day 6, you’ll enjoy a private transfer to Psilo Livadi Port, from where you'll embark on our 'Paros and Small Cyclades Full-Day Sailing Trip'. On this 10-hour sailing trip, you and your family will explore Paros and the shimmering blue waters of the Aegean Sea. Dive into the location of a WWII wrecked plane on your way to Iraklia, and let your kids get enchanted by the mystical setting. Sail around Schoinousa, Koufonissia, the south Naxos, Antiparos, and Despotiko, and savor delicious lunch full of local delicacies prepared by the hospitable crew onboard. Alternatively, you can opt for our family 'Paros cycling tour'. This 2.5-hour bike and hike tour will help you explore the cosmopolitan island with an experienced instructor and the vibrant region of Naoussa as your starting point.
On day 7, you can enjoy all the free time you need with your family. We highly suggest you indulge in a swimming day at the popular beach of Kolymbithres. Upon request, we can arrange for you to be transferred directly from your hotel to Kolymbithres beach, while we can also book lunch and sunbeds to save you the trouble. What can be more relaxing and family-oriented than a day spent at the beach?

Chania
The 8th day of your trip will consist of you being taking to Paros’ port to board the ferry to Crete and the region of Chania in specific. As with all days including long hours of transportation, after you arrive in Chania the rest of the day will be free for you to take it easy.
The 9th day of your family trip will be the most luxurious yet, as it will include a Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa island cruise. Lie on the deck and take in your gorgeous surroundings as you sail across the shimmering waters of the Aegean Sea. Your kids will have the opportunity to engage in diving games in the clearest water you’ve ever experienced, while you can savor Cretan delicacies throughout the experience.
The following day, you will have a free day in Chania to spend with your loved ones without the pressure of following a schedule. If you want to do more than lay on the beach all day long, we’d highly suggest you try a 2-hour Stand-Up Paddleboard and Snorkelling Small Group Tour that will keep you and your kid busy for hours!
The penultimate day of your trip will grant you a day trip to 7 Cretan Traditional Villages.
