Athens & Dodecanese Islands: An Aegean Experience to Remember

Transfer to Acropolis where your dedicated guide brings history to life as you tour the highlights of the city that birthed democracy.

Walk through the charming, historic Plaka, Athens’ historic “neighborhood of the gods”.

Then, continue with a tour of the legendary Acropolis itself. A millennia-old, UNESCO-listed citadel, housing the Parthenon, the Temple of Athena Nike, Erechtheion, and so much more.

End your tour with the Acropolis Museum, exhibiting artifacts recovered from the Acropolis and its foothills. Return to the hotel and the afternoon is yours to relax.

Spend the morning uncovering Kos’ rich blend of influences from over 5,000 years of Ottoman, Roman, and Venetian history.

First, you visit the Asklepion, an ancient medical center and healing temple built in honor of one of Kos’ most famous sons: Hippocrates himself.

Then, wander through Kos Town to admire Neratzia Castle, built in the 14th century by the Knights of Saint John; the Loggia Mosque, one of two Ottoman-era mosques on the island that still hold prayers; and the famous Tree of Hippocrates, under which Hippocrates taught his students.

After some free time for lunch, explore the town at your own pace or join an optional excursion to another island village.

As night sets, a tasteful seafood dinner will be served at the hotel’s restaurant.

After breakfast, board a ferry to Rhodes, the crown jewel of the Dodecanese.

Enjoy lunch at a traditional local taverna before you begin your guided exploration.

Visit the harbor, once home to the mighty Colossus of Rhodes, a hulking bronze-and-iron statue of the Greek sun god Helios.

Afterwards, walk through the UNESCO-listed Medieval City, where Gothic and Ottoman architecture beautifully coexist.

End your tour with a climb to the cobbled Street of the Knights to the Palace of the Grand Masters. A striking fortress adorned with towers, arched gates, and statues.

Whether wandering ancient alleyways or basking in coastal light, this day captures the essence of Athens & the Dodecanese Islands; a harmonious dance of myth, history and sunlit serenity.

Today unfolds with a journey to the charming village of Lindos.

An enchanting mosaic of whitewashed houses, cobbled alleys and breathtaking sea views.

Wander through its traditional town, rich in charm and stories, before ascending to the Ancient Acropolis. There, history and myth blend beneath the Aegean sky.

In due time, the afternoon invites you to swim in the crystal-clear waters of Lindos beach, embraced by golden sand.

As the sun sets, savor a delightful dinner at a local restaurant, where views of the Acropolis lend a touch of magic to your night.
