Splendors of Greece
From the city of Athens to the Cyclades archipelago, via Crete, an alluring odyssey that’s sure to awaken your senses!
In Athens, take the measure of the hegemony of ancient Greek civilization by visiting the impressive remains of the Acropolis and stopping off at its museum. You can also take advantage of your stay in the Greek capital to meet the people who make the city tick by visiting its lively neighborhoods and squares.
Sail the peaceful waters of the Aegean Sea to the island of Crete, where you’ll be able to enjoy a swim in the Mediterranean sunshine, surrounded by magnificent beaches. In your free time, enjoy a hike through the Imbros Gorge, explore the surrounding lagoons or visit olive oil, cheese and wine-making sites and taste the products on site.
In Hania and Réthymnon, see how the Venetian and Ottoman eras left their mark on the public and religious architecture of the ports, fortresses, palaces, churches and cathedrals. Near Heraklion, visit the site of the imposing Minoan city of Knossos, whose remains tell us about the lifestyle and grandeur of this important civilization, which dominated this part of the Mediterranean commercially between 3000 and 1500 BC.
Set sail again for the Cyclades and let yourself be bathed in the unparalleled light of these Greek islands. Fall under the spell of Santorini, a photogenic island at the heart of a small archipelago of islands whose landscape was shaped by the eruption of a major volcano in the 16th century BC. Continue on to Naxos and be seduced by the romantic ambience of its port, the beauty of its beaches and its picturesque villages with whitewashed houses.
Let us guide you to the island’s artisans, people of knowledge and tradition, and enjoy extraordinary culinary and gastronomic experiences by visiting a family-run cheese farm, a traditional olive oil production plant and a small organic honey factory.
Last but not least, be delighted by the universe of tastes and flavors that the generous Greek cuisine has in store for you, and take full advantage of the décor and Mediterranean ambience of your stay in the land of the gods!
