Let's explore Greece, where mythology comes alive! We will visit all the badass God's and Goddesses' temples while traveling through the mainland of Greece. Fueled by delicious Greek coffee and of course, wine... we will explore mountains, gulfs, canals, city squares, and island life. After some TRUE adventuring, we will head to Mykonos for much needed beach time and a cooking class in an authentic Greek home! Have a photoshoot with the iconic white and blue buildings, scuba dive, indulge in food and night life, or just relax! This trip has ALL the panoramic views you could dream of!
Athens was my 30th birthday trip, I asked one of my most spontaneous friends to go with and of course she was in for the adventure; she knows I make one hell of an itinerary ;)
Of course I was a little concerned with the language barrier, when I went to France I was TERRIBLE at French. But Greek was just different. The words are fun, the people are so helpful and understanding, and I felt welcomed. I learned so much in my Greece trip and got to see some of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen!
Mythology truly came alive here. The stories and sculptures of the Gods and Goddesses pull you right into the past, where lore and adventure are the forefront of the legends we know and love. From Athena to Aphrodite, Zeus to Poseidon...we will learn about their roles they still play to this day in Greece and see their mark upon history.
AND THE FOOD. OMGGG. It is all just so enriching! The tapas, coffee, wine, pastries... I just need you to come with me and see for yourself!
Airport Pick up, please arrive in Athens around 12:00pm
Check in to Hotel with Acropolis Views!
We will have an evening dinner tour with my beatiful friend Tiama, a local, expert guide & archaeologist. She will take us on a guided tour beginning at Syntagma Square through historic neighborhoods such as Plaka, Thiseio & Psyrri. We will see Hadrian’s Arch, Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates. While exploring Athens, we will admire the illuminated Acropolis, Acropolis museum and the Stoa of Attalos all while learning about Athens’ history and culture. We will hear local anecdotes of the city that range from Ancient to Roman, Byzantine, and contemporary Athens. Enjoy a light mezedes (Greek tapas) dinner with wine at a local restaurant.
