The Greek Islands: Crete & Santorini
10 days | 13 days with Delphi & the Athens Riviera extension
Get the full Greek experience: scrapbook scenery, fantastic food, and sweet, sweet sunshine.
No matter how you cut it, the Greek islands are a multifaceted paradise, and after admiring their gleaming highlights, you’ll be left craving more. Begin your tour in Athens, a city that needs no introduction, before journeying to Crete. Here, on the largest of Greece’s islands, you’ll marvel at the Venetian handiwork of charming Chania’s harbor; walk among vestiges of the Bronze Age Minoans in Heraklion; and discover the joys of Cretan cuisine through olive oil, wine, and other local delights. Then, you’ll head to Santorini—painted in those famous flashes of white and blue—for some seaside R & R. Go for a walk, a swim, or a sail, taking in its volcanic terrain from all angles. And if you’re interested in capping your trip with a mythical twist, add the extension to Delphi. (Maybe you’ll catch the oracle’s whispers riding the wind.)
