But first up for the day come dressed to impress as we get to take a look inside the Burj Al Arab, Dubai’s 7 star hotel shaped like a sail. Now this is luxury! Hope you’re excited to see something that is usually out of most of our grasp in experiencing. A night here in their more basic room is around $2500 up to around $20,000 a night for a 3 bedroom.

Well we have an experience for you!
We will have a 90 minute guided royal tour this morning accompanied by our own private Butler and then end with your own 24 Carat Gold Cappuccino and delicious cake/pastries.

We won’t be getting time to go back to our apartment today. We’ll be Picked up from Burj Al Arab and taken off to an afternoon adventure in 4WDs across the sand dunes  to a desert camp, with camel rides, sand boarding, BBQ dinner, eagle show, belly dancing and more.

This will be a great way to spend our last night together here in Dubai.

Back home to our apartment to watch the dancing fountain lights from our rooms then it’s time to get a good nights sleep, ready to catch our flight to Athens in the morning which is around a 5 hour flight.

(Breakfast, morning tea and dinner included)

We fly to Athens today.

Transfer to Athens Marriott Hotel, we have one night here before taking off to experience the beautiful Greek Islands, but back again to explore more of Athens after the Islands.

This hotel is close to Athens port area so we can have quick transfers tomorrow to catch our ferry to Santorini.

We should have time this afternoon to go see Stavros Niarchos Cultural Centre and Gardens. We can take our time and meander around this modern landscape Architectural project, that has been designed in accordance with the principles of sustainability, ecosystems and the alternations of a place that is in constant evolution.

Then we have been booked in for dinner at the Michelin starred Varoulko Seaside Restaurant tonight at 7.30pm.

I think a wine or two are needed here for our first night in Greece. Opa!!

(Breakfast at Dubai apartments before we leave)

On the Ferry to Santorini today. It’s about a 4 hour ferry ride, dropping in at other islands on the way, if you want to get a good view, walk out on to the top deck as we pull in to the docks. So beautiful and picturesque.

As we come in close to Santorini you will see the huge cliff face in front of you, It’s the crater rim and  we will be staying right at the top in a town called ‘Firostefani’, it’s half way between the Capital, Fira and Oia (famous for their sunsets).

Staying on the cliff side is an expensive area to stay but you cannot come to Santorini and not stay in the white washed cave like houses overlooking the Caldera. You will be thankful you payed the extra money for this experience, no words can explain how you feel sitting outside your room with this view in front, and white washed buildings all around you, it’s breathtaking.

We will be staying at the Mill House Suites here for 4 nights to experience and soak up as much of this Islands magic.

Our first night together here we will walk down the cobbled Lane way along the cliffside in to Fira for sunset drinks and dinner at a popular place recommended to me called “Francos Bar”. Apparently the view combined with the food and drinks and classical music is something everyone needs to experience. Can’t wait to check it out.

Seeing all the villages lit up at night with people eating, laughing, drinking, dancing and donkeys climbing the hill, fills you up with such joy to be alive knowing you're here and experiencing it for yourself. A pinch yourself moment.
So excited to share it with you.

Today we wake up to a relaxing breakfast by the pool or on your balcony overlooking the Caldera.

Absolutely magical.

We then are heading off on an island tour for the day, so you can experience all that Santorini has to offer.

We will finish the day off in Oia, famous for the best sunsets in the world. We’ll grab dinner together and watch the sun set and then back to our cosy cave like accommodation.

Sit outside and soak up the night air and pinch yourself as you realise you really are here experiencing all of this.

(Breakfast and lunch included)

Today is a FREE day for you to go explore, visit the black beaches, take a trolley ride down to the port are for a swim in the Mediterranean, relax in your suite or sit and soak up the atmosphere at a restaurant, go fishing, whatever your heart desires.
Then we will all meet up together at night and head to a Greek Wedding!
Oh what fun awaits, and finishing with a few smashed plates!
Yay! Who has always wanted to do that??
(Breakfast and dinner included)

These next 3 nights we will be staying on my favourite island, Paros. We have a 2 hour ferry ride from Santorini and arrive in the Port of Paros, Parikia.

We will be transported  to our stunning accommodation in the picturesque fishing village of Naoussa.

We do not have anything pre booked here. So for the next few days you can explore or relax to your hearts content.

We will figure it out as we go. You can hire a car or mopehead, book a boat trip, you can take a day trip to Mykonos from here or just get lost wandering the cobbled streets and alleyways.

We hope you can unwind and really take in Greek life here.
