Day to Day

DAYS 1-2 : ATHENS

Welcome to Athens! Arrive at your own pace and let our driver pick you up from the airport and take you to your accommodation for a quick rest.

Freshen up and you are ready to roam the lively streets of the historic downtown of Athens! As the sun goes down, allow us to welcome you with a dinner at a local tavern; savor delicious Greek food and enjoy your first night in Greece, just like locals do!

Rise and shine early the next morning and along with your expert guide, explore the most important sites of Athens: the impressive Acropolis and the modern Acropolis Museum; the “island-like” neighborhood of Plaka; the Panathenaic Stadium; the famous Syntagma Square and the lively Monastiraki square, to name a few.

DAYS 3-5 : PELION

The next day, your personal driver will transfer you to Pelion.

On your way there, you will take a brief stop at Thermopylae to marvel at the statue of Leonidas and a longer stop for lunch (optional) at the unique traditional village of Portaria right on Mount Pelion.

Reach your accommodation in one of Pelion’s pretty, seaside villages and relax for the rest of the day.

On the fourth day, enjoy a boat trip to the north, uninhabited area of Mount Pelion with your licensed skipper.

Visit the beautiful sea caves and swim at a secluded beach. If the weather doesn’t permit the boat trip to happen, no worries!

Embark on a hiking tour instead, through the dense beech forests, and small waterfall and if you are brave enough, swim in the freezing waters of a natural pond.

For day 5, take the day off and explore Pelion’s beauties on your own.

DAYS 6-7 : SKOPELOS

Wake up early in the morning and get transferred by your private vehicle to the port of Volos. Catch the ferry to Skopelos, one of the greenest islands in the Aegean Sea!

After your driver takes you to your accommodation and you settle in, walk around Chora, the main town of the island, and its white houses, paths, and chapels.

Don’t forget to walk up to the ruined Venetian castle and enjoy the spectacular view of the town, the port, and the sea!

On day 7, choose to either explore the island on your own or have a full-day guided tour of the island including some of the ‘Mamma Mia’ highlights.

You will get to visit Agios Ioannis at Kastri, a picture-perfect chapel built on top of a steep rock, which gained popularity after the wedding scene from the ‘Mamma Mia’ movie was shot there, and a couple of magnificent beaches, the Kastani beach, and Loutraki.

DAYS 8 -11 : SKIATHOS

The following morning, relish a last walk around Skopelos Chora and why not have the famous mouth-watering Skopelos cheese pies for breakfast?

After your driver drops you off at the port, take the ferry to Skiathos Island, the last stop of this amazing trip! Get to your accommodation and relax for the day.

Day 9 is beach day! Get transferred to the most beautiful beach of Skiathos, Koukounaries, also known as ‘Chrysi Ammos’, meaning Golden Sand.

Its uniqueness doesn’t stop there! Behind the beach, you will find a pine forest that separates the deep blue waters of the Aegean Sea from Lake Strofylia, a lagoon where different species of animals and plants are protected.

The next day, set on a sailing trip along the coastlines of Skiathos and Skopelos.

Enjoy a full day by visiting the well-known beaches of Lalaria, Kastani, and Panormos as well as the islets of Arkos, Tsougria, and Dasia Cave that can only be reached by boat.

On day 11, take it slow and easy and explore what this cosmopolitan island has to offer you at your own pace.

DAY 12 : ATHENS

On your last day, get a private transfer to the airport of Skiathos to catch your flight to Athens before returning back home.

This amazing 12-day trip has come to an end! Full of memories and experiences, it’s time to say goodbye. See you next time!
