When it comes to dream destinations, Greece is not one to be slept on; unless, of course, you’re hitting the snooze button after a long night of wine and sirtaki.

The Greek Dream Itself
2 Nights in Athens
How many times in your life will you get to wake up in the cradle of civilization?
At first glance, Athens is a capital of the ancient world, crowned with marble temples, rooted in age-old traditions, and guided by the very principles that led it to become the birthplace of democracy.
Look a little closer, however, and you’ll discover a city alive with bustling neighborhoods, lively café terraces, and a vibrant culture that carries the spirit of Greece well into the 21st century.
Experience this timeless destination from the comfort of Athens Capital Center Hotel – MGallery Collection, an elegant property overlooking Syntagma Square in the very heart of the city, making it an ideal base for discovering both Athens’ iconic landmarks and vibrant contemporary character.
Once in the city, delve into the capital’s past by gaining new insight into such iconic landmarks as the Acropolis, Parthenon, Ancient Agora, and Theater of Dionysus, uncovering ideas that continue to shape modern life as we know it.
Be it dream or reality, Athens serves as the perfect starting point for any Greek adventure.
Tour Highlight – Athens Democracy
When in Athens, don’t do the same tour that everyone else does.
The curated experience selected for this trip showcases the Greek capital through the very idea that helped shape its legacy. Rather than simply admiring ancient monuments, you’ll explore the Acropolis, Ancient Agora, and other iconic sites through the lens of democracy, transforming famous landmarks into meaningful stories and providing the kind of deeper perspective that elevates any Athens itinerary.
2 Nights in Mykonos
Arguably the poster child of the Cyclades, Mykonos has long been celebrated as one of Greece’s most iconic islands.
From charming lanes draped in bougainvillea to golden beaches and stylish waterfront venues, Mykonos combines whitewashed Cycladic beauty with cultural depth and an effortless sense of sophistication; thus epitomizing the art of Mediterranean living.
And where better to do some of that living than at Mykonos Grand Hotel & Resort, a luxurious beachfront retreat overlooking the sacred island of Delos. Blending elegant Cycladic architecture with refined comforts and exceptional hospitality, it offers a fitting introduction to one of Greece’s most sought-after destinations.
Beyond the hotel, discover that Greek cuisine is about far more than feta and tzatziki during a hands-on cooking experience led by a renowned Mykonian chef; the kind that might make culinary professionals around the world reconsider their life choices. Prepare beloved local specialties from scratch, uncover the secrets behind traditional island recipes, and enjoy the fruits of your labor alongside local wine and, as promised, ouzo.
Because if Athens introduces the Greek dream, Mykonos invites you to start living it.
Tour Highlight — Cooking Class
Don’t let Mykonos’ jet-set reputation fool you. Beyond the glamorous beach clubs and cosmopolitan atmosphere lies a destination rich in tradition, authenticity, and local character. And one of the best to uncover it is through its cuisine.
A cooking class in Mykonos invites you into the heart of the island’s culinary heritage by crafting some of its most delicious dishes, allowing you to experience Greece like a local through an immersive experience that today’s travelers increasingly seek.
2 Nights in Santorini
Santorini is an island that needs no introduction, for it makes a statement regardless.
Rising from the Aegean Sea in a cascade of whitewashed villages, blue-domed churches, and dramatic volcanic cliffs, the island has spent centuries perfecting the art of making travelers stop and stare. And once you arrive, you’ll quickly understand why.
Your stay unfolds at Katikies Kirini Santorini, a member of The Leading Hotels of the World and one of the island’s most celebrated retreats. Carved into the cliffs of Oia and overlooking the spectacular caldera, the property combines refined luxury, exceptional cuisine, and some of the most coveted views in the Mediterranean.
Use your stay to discover that Santorini is far more than a pretty face. Venture beyond the iconic caldera views and uncover a traditional Kafenio in a charming village. Walk along its famous black-sand beach. Celebrate its volcanic wine culture. And discover the fascinating remains of Akrotiri, one of the Aegean’s most important Bronze Age settlements.
By the end, you’ll see that Santorini doesn’t just live up to the hype; it somehow manages to surpass it.
Tour Highlight – Santorini Beyond the Caldera
When in Santorini, don’t stop at the caldera.
This trip’s selected experience in Santorini reveals the island beyond its famous views, combining local culture, winemaking traditions, volcanic landscapes, and remarkable archaeological discoveries; showcasing the many layers of a destination that is often known only for its sunsets.
Dream On
It doesn’t get any dreamier than Greece.
And after a week spent exploring its ancient landmarks, iconic islands, celebrated cuisine, and legendary hospitality, you’ll be in an excellent position to explain exactly why.
More than a FAM trip, this is an opportunity to return home with the firsthand knowledge, local insight, and destination expertise needed to create even more meaningful journeys for your travelers.
So, don’t let this dream pass you by. Apply now for a potential spot on Greece by Travelive’s 2026 FAM Trip and discover why Greece remains one of the Mediterranean’s most enduring success stories.
