Day to Day
DAYS 1-4 : ATHENS & DELPHI

You’ve made it to Greece, congratulations! As soon as you touch foot at Athens International Airport, you’ll be greeted by your private driver who will take you to your hotel in order to settle in and prepare for the evening ahead.

We will welcome you to the Greek capital with a traditional Greek feast that will introduce you and your family to authentic Greek flavors and the one-of-a-kind food culture of Greece. After your dinner, you’ll be taken to your hotel for a good night’s sleep.

The next day, along with a local, archaeologist guide you’ll set on our family Mythology Tour of the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum.

Hear your guide narrate stories about the sacred rock as you admire its monuments and watch your kids being kept on their toes through a series of fun games and interactive activities.

Following your hike up the rock, walk to the modern Acropolis Museum to marvel at the incredible exhibits of the Acropolis it houses and learn even more about the fascinating ancient civilization.

Both entertaining and informative, this tour is a win-win both for you and your children!

On the 3rd day of your tour, you can either relax and enjoy some free time in the morning or decide to join our ‘Play & Learn in Ancient Agora’ family activity.

This family workshop will help your kids learn about ancient Greece in a fun, hands-on way that will become the highlight of their trip.

For the afternoon, it is time for a 'Trip to Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon'. You'll be taken on a drive along the striking Athenian Riviera heading to Cape Sounio, and the imposing Temple of Poseidon, from where you'll be able to catch one of the most magnificent sunsets in Athens.

On your way there, you'll stop for an hour either for swimming or for a visit to Stavros Niarchos Cultural Center, depending on the weather. In both cases though, this afternoon adventure will blow your mind with the stunning views and fun experiences it offers.

On day 4, a whimsical adventure awaits. Explore the center of the spiritual world of ancient Greece with a day trip to Delphi.

Along with your expert guide, you’ll explore the archeological site of Delphi and discover its striking monuments, such as the Temple of Apollo, once home to a legendary Oracle, the Theatre of Delphi, and the archaeological museum.

After the fun archeological adventure, you’ll be driven to the nearby towns of Arachova and Galaxidi, where you’ll savor a mouthwatering Greek meal at a traditional, local tavern, before heading back to Athens.

DAYS 5-7 : NAFPLIO

On the 5th day of your trip, you’ll enjoy your ride from Athens to Nafplio, which is often considered the most romantic city in Greece, to enjoy a free day along with your loved ones.

You can explore your surroundings on your own, or even embark on a family walking tour of Nafplio, where you’ll stroll its scenic streets along with a local guide in order to visit its main attraction and take in its alluring beauty.

The next day, you’ll wake up early and enjoy a day trip to Mycenae in the morning.

With the help of an expert guide, you’ll explore the ancient fortified citadel of Mycenae and learn all about the kingdom of the mythical Agamemnon, in an engaging way that will keep your kids entertained for hours.

After the tour, you’ll return to Nafplio to stay overnight and enjoy a free day the following morning. Cross off your to-do list everything you and your family have put on your personal itinerary and relax in the central square for a coffee, a drink, or a bite.

You’ll have the next day at your disposal to do with it as you please, however, we highly recommend you join a family excursion to Tolo that will include swimming and a luscious lunch at a traditional tavern.

Upon request, we can book for you sunbeds and umbrellas, so you can thoroughly enjoy your time on the beach as a family without having to fuss over the details.

DAYS 8-12 : HYDRA & SPETSES

The time to reach the final destination of your trip has come.

On the 8th day of your trip, you’ll be transferred in comfort to Ermioni to catch the ferry to Hydra, one of the most scenic islands of Greece, where cars are not allowed and the traditional element remains strong and unaffected by the times.

Enjoy your first day in Hydra at your own pace and spend quality time with your kids. We suggest you visit Kaminia Beach, which is within walking distance from Hydra’s Town, and enjoy an afternoon of swimming and fun beach games.

On day 9, you can opt for our family Hydra walking tour, where a local guide will show you around the island’s highlights, or a Hydra treasure hunt, as a gift to your kids that will let their inner Sherlock Holmes come out to play.

The next day, you’ll get to visit the neighboring island of Spetses, known for its old-time charm and aesthetic stone houses.

You will have the day free to spend in whichever way you want so you get to know the historical island at your pace and on your own terms before returning to spend the night in Hydra.

The 11th day of your trip will also be at your disposal. However, you can choose to join a cruise across the island’s coastline and spend your day sunbathing and diving into crystal-clear waters.

Day 12 marks the conclusion of this family multi-day trip. Catch the ferry back to Athens from the port of Hydra and treasure the experiences you have collected as a family for the rest of your lives!
