Day 3: Santorini, Greece
Santorini is a small, circular archipelago of volcanic islands located in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km south-east from Greece's mainland. It is one of the best-known of the Cyclades where towering cliffs crowned by tiny white houses plunge straight into the depths of the sea. The steep coastline of the west is countered by the vast beaches of the east side, some of them sandy and others with pebbles.
Santorini is famous for dramatic views, stunning sunsets from Oia town, the strange white aubergine, the town of Thira and naturally its very own active volcano. There are also fantastic beaches such as the Perissa and Kamari.
Day 4: Mykonos, Greece
Mykonos, Greece
Day 5: Athens (Piraeus), Greece
The port of Piraeus is one of the last old-style Mediterranean ports from where you can catch ferries to all of the Greek islands and travel a short distance to Greece's capital city Athens.
In the heart of the city lies the ancient Plaka district, with its honeycomb of streets, little shops - and tavernas that come alive at night. Situated on the north and east slopes of the Acropolis, it is rich with historic sites, such as ancient monuments and churches. Within Athens there are eight large hills, including the Acropolis, and on the outskirts, Mount Parnitha, Mount Pendeli and Mount Hymettos surround the city. A trip to Athens' most famous tourist attraction, the impressive Parthenon built on the Acropolis around 2,500 years ago, will be memorable to say the least.
There are an extraordinary number of historic tourist sights in Athens and many of these are known world-wide. Some of the top Athens attractions include the Agora - a grand, ruined Roman building, Hadrian's Arch - originally the city gate linking the Roman quarters with original town of Athens and the stunning Dionysos Theatre - the world's oldest theatre where many great plays have been performed over the years.
Day 6: Argostoli, Greece
Argostoli is the lively capital of Kefalonia, located on the Ionian Sea off Greece’s western coast, known for its laid-back island charm, colourful waterfront, and beautiful natural landscapes. The scenery is a stunning mix of sparkling turquoise bays, pine-covered hills, limestone cliffs, and a bustling harbour where fishing boats and yachts drift past seaside cafés.
Stroll along the Argostoli waterfront promenade and spot sea turtles near the fishing boats
Visit the Drogarati Cave to see impressive stalactites and natural chambers
Explore Melissani Lake Cave, famous for its glowing blue waters and underground boat rides
Relax on Myrtos Beach, one of Greece’s most iconic beaches with dramatic cliff views
Discover Kefalonia’s history at the Archaeological Museum of Argostoli

Taste local specialities such as Kefalonian meat pie and Robola wine at a local taverna
