3 Nights in Athens | A is Also for Athens
It doesn’t matter what kind of Greek journey you’re on, be it group, solo, or even spiritual, Athens is bound to make for a quintessential starting point.
After arriving in the capital, settle in before raising a glass to its most recognizable sight with a welcome dinner overlooking the Acropolis.
Then, it’s time to meet the icons up close. Explore the legendary Acropolis, uncovering the stories behind the Parthenon, Erechtheion, Temple of Athena Nike, and Propylaea before continuing to the Acropolis Museum, where a sweeping display of artifacts invites you to step further into the world of Ancient Greece. Though without touching anything.
Later, uncover an even more colorful side of the capital with a stroll through Plaka and Anafiotika, where flower-filled alleyways, neoclassical houses, hidden courtyards, and lively neighborhood corners offer a more intimate glimpse into the city’s timeless charm.
And just like that, the Greek part of your adventure is off to one rock-solid (or, in this case, marble) start.
- Cape Sounion at Sunset
Trade the city for the coast as you journey along the Athens Riviera toward Cape Sounion. Stop to admire Lake Vouliagmeni and the striking Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center before arriving at the Temple of Poseidon, dramatically perched above the Aegean. Then, watch the sun set over the sea for a spectacular end to the day.
2 Nights in Santorini | Into the Sunset
Will anyone who likes picturesque villages, unforgettable sunsets, and world-class wines please raise your hand?
Something tells us pretty much everyone in your group did, certainly for that last one.
Well, then you’re heading to the right place, because that is what awaits in Santorini, Greece’s Cycladic superstar.
Once there, head straight into the island’s postcard-worthy scenery with a stroll through its famous caldera villages. Wander the whitewashed lanes of Oia and Fira, admire the famous Blue Dome of Firostefani, and take in those sweeping views over the Aegean that seem almost too perfect to be real.
Then, as evening approaches, you already know what to do. (Hint: find the perfect vantage point for one of Santorini’s legendary sunsets.)
The next day, take to Santorini’s wine roads. Visit three long-established family wineries, where a sommelier introduces the group to Santorini’s distinctive volcanic wines, including its celebrated Vin Santo, paired with delicious local bites.
Round off your stay in quintessential Santorini fashion: aboard a catamaran cruise around its renowned caldera. Swim in thermal waters, sail past dramatic volcanic scenery, and make a couple of colorful stops at the Red and White Beaches before enjoying a freshly prepared Greek meal onboard.
And that is why Santorini always gets the vote.
2 Nights in Dubrovnik | Across the Seas
If there’s one thing that Croatia and Greece have in common, it’s spectacular sea views. And the propensity to cook up a storm. But by now, you’ve probably already tested those waters.
After swapping Santorini’s whitewashed cliffs for the ancient stone walls of the former Republic of Ragusa, settle into a city where the Adriatic meets centuries of history in truly cinematic fashion. (Game of Thrones fans know exactly what we’re talking about.)
Begin with a guided exploration of the Old Town, entering through the historic Pile or Ploče Gate before making your way along the famous Stradun. From the elegant Church of Holy Salvation and grand Franciscan and Dominican churches to the Rector’s Palace, Old Port, lively squares, and historic fountains, Dubrovnik seems to have a story tucked into every corner.
And once you’ve had your fill of history, there’s no need to overcomplicate things. Leave the itinerary behind for a while and enjoy the city at your own pace, whether that means lingering over coffee at a café, browsing the shops, or simply finding a scenic spot to admire the Adriatic. After all, it’s one of the things this journey is all about.
2 Nights in Split | Rome Meets the Adriatic
Looking to split your time between Ancient Rome and the Adriatic? Then Split is the place to be.
After transferring along the Adriatic coast from Dubrovnik, arrive in a city that has been inhabited for over 17 centuries. There, a tour of Diocletian’s Palace reveals a remarkable blend of Roman grandeur, Christian heritage, and everyday Mediterranean life, from the atmospheric cellars and Peristyle to the Vestibul, Cathedral of St. Dominus, Golden Gate, and the lively streets that have grown around them.
Then, let the city show you its more contemporary side. Wander along the Riva waterfront, browse the vibrant fish market, or simply settle in with a coffee while taking in views toward the surrounding islands.
The following day, venture beyond the city to Trogir, a UNESCO-listed historic gem where medieval churches, preserved palaces, stone walls, and the remarkable St. Lawrence Cathedral echo with centuries of architectural influences.
Conclude with a farewell dinner on the waterfront, because if there’s one thing Split definitely inherited from the Romans, it’s how to throw a feast.
Departure | Two Seas, One Journey
And with that, the Aegean and Adriatic have officially joined forces, leaving a whole group of travelers to say they’ve taken on both.
Yet while the trip may now be reaching its finale at Split Airport, it leaves travelers with one thing certain: when Greece and Croatia team up, there’s no journey they can’t handle.
So, if you’re looking to make one just like this happen, contact Groups by Travelive at groups@travelive.com and we’ll make sure to bring our A-game.
