ABOUT THE TRIP
Greece is on everyone’s bucket list and it’s no surprise as every corner you turn no matter which island you’re on – there’s always something Remarkable to see. With so many incredible islands to explore, it’s hard to research where to best spend your time. Last year, we had so many requests for Greece recommendations so we decided to create a hassle-free Greece trip!
For our first group experience to Greece, we’ve curated an itinerary that was indeed hard to narrow down but we’re excited to launch it! First, we meet up in Athens before island hopping between Crete, Santorini and the incredible Milos. There will be lots of days out at sea, exploring caves, eating the best food and visiting amazing beaches filled with white, pink, black and red sand. We couldn’t let the trip finish off without a proper visit to Athens to see the Acropolis and Parthenon.
Come join us as we learn all about the history, beauty and culture of this bucket list remarkable destination!

OUR FAVORITE HOTELS
These are all places that we have stayed at ourselves. We have chosen them for cleanliness, convenience and comfort.
ELIA PALAZZO HOTEL
Elia Palazzo is a cozy 3-star hotel that has a lot of charm and in the best locations just a few minutes from the harbor and from all the main attractions of the city. We love this hotel because vehicles are not allowed in the Old Town, so you are free to wander the cobblestone streets at your leisure, the hospitality is amazing and the beds are really comfortable.




SANTORINI
Santorini Hotels are always a favorite part of a trip to Santorini and it is very hard to choose which hotels are the best as they all offer something similar and unique at the same time. We are subject to availability but either hotel we confirm, will have views of the caldera, beautiful all white rooms, views that are unbeatable and perfect for the Instagram photo we have all been waiting for.
AEOLIS HOTEL
Aeolis Hotel feels like it’s far away from the hustle and bustle of Adamas but is still just a 5 minute journey to town. We find the rooms to be clean, comfortable and perfect for a night’s sleep after our very long days out at sea. We love this hotel because of the colorful decor and as always the Greek hospitality here cannot be beat.
