Welcome to Greece

Greece is a country in southeastern Europe with thousands of islands throughout the Aegean and Ionian seas. Influential in ancient times, it's often called the cradle of Western civilization. Athens, its capital, retains landmarks including the 5th-century B.C. Acropolis citadel with the Parthenon temple. Greece is also known for its beaches, from the black sands of Santorini to the party resorts of Mykonos. 

Greece Excursions Included

 ATHENS

Athens is the capital and largest city in Greece and lies six miles from the port of Piraeus. It is one of the world’s oldest cities; its recorded history spans at least 3,000 years. Head towards the foot of the Acropolis, and pass the remains of the Temple of Olympian Zeus and Hadrian’s Arch, the Roman archway built by Emperor Hadrian in 131-32. The Acropolis, or “High City,” is a true testament to the Golden Age of Greece, that magical period at the height of Pericles’ influence (461- 429 BCE) when the intellectual and artistic life of Athens flowered.  Seeing the ruins of the Parthenon, one of the archetypal images of western culture, is a revelation yet utterly familiar. The modern path makes a zigzagging ascent through the Beule Gate to legendary attractions such as the Propylaia, Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion and the Parthenon.  

Travel to the heart of Athens to Syntagma (Constitution) Square. At the top of the Square stands the Parliament Building, formerly the royal palace, where guards in their traditional costumes keep watch over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Next, pass the Panathenaic Stadium and the National Gardens. Travel along University Street with its neo-classical buildings before heading back to the hotel.


MYKONOS

Departing the hotel you will proceed south towards the beach of Agios Ioannis. On the way you will pass Ornos beach, one of the most beautiful and cosmopolitan beaches in Mykonos, with luxurious hotels, tavernas and yachts anchored offshore and enjoy a nice view of Delos Island in the background. Then you will continue to the centre of the island and the traditional village of Ano Mera. Reaching the courtyard of the Tourliani Monastery, along with your guide you will receive an outside orientation of the Panagia Tourliani Monastery, built by monks in 1542 and dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The Monastery has wonderful, unique island architecture, while the beautiful carved marble fountain in the courtyard will surely impress us. Returning to the town of Mykonos, you will start your walking tour through the narrow whitewashed streets, where you will appreciate the fact that it’s confusing layout was designed to foil the attacking pirates. The picture-perfect Little Venice, so called due to its striking resemblance in design to the famous canal city, and the nearby windmills, an island trademark, both offer a wonderful photo opportunity. Have some free time before your return to the hotel.


 SANTORINI

Drive to the Black sandy beach, the longest beach in Cyclades. Continue to the most beautiful traditional villages of Santorini Megalochori. Typical traditional Cycladic houses neoclassic buildings and small houses in the volcanic rock blend together with harmony.  We find here also the typical small white churches with the blue domes, wine tasting will be followed in a local winery. Next stop uphill to the Monastery of the Prophet Elijah, the highest point of the island from where the view over the caldera is most majestic. Leaving Prophet Elias and pass from "Pyrgos" (means Tower) Village, which is a beautiful and picturesque place. 

Last but not least of Oia Village, built high up on the ridge of red rocks, it offers breathtaking views of the blue Aegean and the caldera below. Take a stroll around the narrow with its cobblestone streets, beautiful old mansions and houses perched on the cliffside, you’ll realize why the traditional Cycladic architecture is so well known.

I embarked on this trip to celebrate a friend’s birthday. I was disappointed from the moment we checked into our room. We booked a room with double beds and was given a room with a single bed. I slept in a couch on the first night as I was not comfortable sharing a bed with my room mate whom I had never met in my whole life prior to the trip. I just couldn’t share a bed with a stranger. It took a whole 24 hours for them to move us to another room that was not cleaned. The new room was FILTHY and had used tissue, several empty wine glasses and bottle, used towels etc. It took another 2 hours for us to be moved to another room and it was close to midnight then. I lost 2 days of good rest and comfort. The public relations and customer service personnel were very INSENSITIVE and never addressed my issue in a timely and proactive way. I was directed from one person to the other and from one office to the other and none showed empathy or resolved our issue as it should have been. I was moved to 3 rooms in less than 48 hours. I will not RECOMMEND or return to your services. I am totally disappointed and had a horrible trip! A total waste of my time and money!!!
By Cordelia N for Imelda's Milestone Jamaica Birthday Celebration on Oct 21, 2024
Overall, Jamaica was fantastic, but our group faced major issues with the resort. We were a group of ladies from different parts of the country meeting for the first time, and we specifically chose to share rooms without sharing beds. Imagine our surprise when we were placed in rooms with just one bed! The resort struggled to rectify the situation, which was incredibly frustrating. We all wished our travel agent had ensured these types of mistakes wouldn't happen so we could focus on the celebration we had traveled for.
By Constance O for Imelda's Milestone Jamaica Birthday Celebration on Oct 21, 2024
Two beds were requested for each room at the time of booking. Unfortunately the resort was not able to grant this request for everyone. I'm glad you were able to enjoy Jamaica.

Fantastic! Diana was wonderful! Everything she did was on point! Finding rooms with double beds in every hotel, I’m sure was difficult in Greece, but she did it. All the hotels were right in the midst of all the action in Greece. The food was outstanding, the tours were in the morning so we were able to have the afternoon to our selves. Overall the trip was an experience I will never forget. I will definitely travel with Diana again!

Outstanding Travel Experience! I recently worked with Diana at Diva Getaways & Entertainment/Promoters United to plan a vacation for friends and family at Lopesan Costa Bavaro Resort in the Dominican Republic. I cannot recommend her enough! From the initial consultation to the final details of our trip. Diana’s professionalism and attention to detail made all the difference. Every aspect of our trip was covered, from information concerning airport transfers to digital entry & exit e-tickets. She listened to our preferences and crafted a personalized itinerary that exceeded our expectations. The accommodation at the Unique VIP Club was top-notch and came with a private pool, restaurants, and a butler. The activities perfectly suited our interests. Our communications with her was seamless, and she was always available to answer my questions. Thanks to Diana our trip was stress-free and unforgettable. I will be using Diana's services again for future travels!

I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to Punta Cana. It was my pleasure working with you. I look forward to planning your future vacations.

We had a great time! Lovely people, OK food and nice accommodations. Was fine with the transfers to and from Resort. The resort was too spread out. All in all a pleasant experience.

I recently traveled with Diana to Greece unveiled 2024. Oh my what a lovely experience from take off to the end. Diana did her homework very well. All the hotels were right in the happenings of Greece, where we could walk or take a 5 minute Uber. All the tours were first thing in the morning so we had free time in the afternoon. I will definetely travel again with Diana.
