Overview

Join us on this fantastic hiking adventure of the Greek Isles as we explore hidden treasures from Athens to Crete, Santorini, Mykonos and Delos. We'll hike over classical Greek ruins and learn how this early civilization shaped the very world we exist in today. Along the way, we'll sample local cuisine and wines, gaze at the bluest of seas, and become lost in the labyrinth of cobbled lanes leading to peaceful coves and sun-swept beaches. The god Apollo himself was born on these islands, so could there be a more appropriate place for a journey of discovery? Guided walking tours of the Acropolis and Parthenon in Athens, and the spectacular UNESCO site on Delos, as well as daily hikes featuring spectacular hillside and coastal scenery, highlight this trip to the Greek Islands of Crete, Santorini, Mykonos and Delos. Mid-trip you can enjoy a "free day" on Santorini, where you may engage in other activities of interest such as a Greek cooking and tasting class, kayaking, snorkeling, or cultural excursions. Or you may take a more leisurely approach to your free time by simply escaping the crowds and surrendering to the many galleries, craft shops, beaches, and seascapes the islands have to offer! When not on our feet, expect bus transfers, short flights, and ferry journeys between the islands.
