Day 1

Athens - A Meeting with Eros

You are welcomed to Athens at the airport where you will meet your private transfer into the city proper. The arid hills on the outskirts of the city bring rise to olive groves, the creamy aroma of the trees filling the car. Pass over the hill and the columns of the Acropolis tower over the city below. You have arrived with Eros, the God of Love, guiding you through the streets of the city. Enjoy a stroll down the Plaka, one of the oldest streets of Athens, where traditional mansions line the pathway, restaurateurs guide you into their family owned cafes, and the candied scent of baklava swirls through the air. The sun sets and the Acropolis shines over city like the moon.

Day 2

Athens - Favor of the Gods

Wake to the sunlight over the city of Athens. The Acropolis greets you with praise and favor, and a fabulous view of the temples from every direction. Venture into the history of the city and of Greece on a private tour. Your guide leads you through a variety of fascinating historical and contemporary sites of the city, from the Palace of King Otto I, now used as Parliament, to the manicured gardens where roses and carnations drift along the breeze. When you step foot along the marbled steps of the Acropolis the full realization of western history comes into view. The Propylaea stands as the entryway to the opulent temples on the citadel. The columns are detailed in their rigid design that welcomes you to the famed Parthenon. The Temple of Athena is a building of perfection looking out onto the city of the goddess’s namesake. The breeze flutters the large Greek flag that hangs over the plateau as a matter of pride, for their past, the future, and the Golden Age’s effect on history.

As part of the tour you will have the grand treat of visiting Cape Sounion as well, where the Temple of Poseidon stands just outside of Athens. The Cape is mentioned as part of Homer’s The Odyssey, looking out over the turquoise water of the Aegean Sea. The pillars of the temple’s remains are sectioned and layered, pieced together like a puzzle to allow some elasticity during earthquakes. The pristine color continues to blend into the clouds as it stands against the hypnotic blue of the sea. The antique marble gives an earthy touch to the sweetness of the water that whirls around the temple. You return to Athens ready for the romantic lights of the city’s evening.

Day 3

Santorini - An Affectionate Voyage

The glow of ages and legends fades from the sky as you venture to the airport for your flight to Santorini. The water below shimmers three shades of blue as you arrive on the stretch of the crescent shaped island. At the port you will be met by a semi-private transfer that will take you up to the sensational panorama of the island, and on to your hotel. Once in the comfort of your luxurious accommodations you can look out over the cliff where the craggy rise of the volcano is surrounded by the brush of waves within the prominent caldera. The breeze wafts over the balcony. The air is touched with ocean mist and earth. You can see the opulent white buildings topped with blue roofs reaching across the island bringing all the romantic images in your head to life.

Day 4

Santorini - The Efficacy of Leisure

Sunrise washes over the houses of the island giving the walls a pink sheen in the morning light. Your day brings with it the majesty of leisure, where any possibility is at your fingertips. Explore the remarkable villages of the island, each one offering a different culture and air to your holiday; or you could visit the famous Red Beach of Santorini where the oxidized cliff burns a sensational red over the black sand shore. Lounge beneath the fiery cliff and press your toes along the hot, black sand. The colorful doors of the changing rooms pop beneath the rustic red of the earth, giving a celebratory flair to the thin strip of the beach.

Dive into the cool water where the only thing more refreshing than the feel of the sea is its clarity. You can see the ocean floor wavy beneath the surface, a magnificent crystal you can swim through. It’s almost like swimming in a saltwater pool, except it’s just you, the seafloor, and the incredible panorama of the bluffs reaching into the sky. The magnificent sites are never-ending, from the beach or from the water, as the sands and the soil sparkle in the Greek sun. The sand and the water lapping at the shore may be beautiful but when you stand in the water and look back at the island, absorbing the panorama of the beach before you, it can only be described as breathtaking.

Day 5

Santorini - The Compelling Vibrancy of Volcanoes

Morning brings with it the grace of the gods and a journey to explore the extent of the caldera. You will be taken to the marina where you can board the comforts of the ship and cruise into the stunning waters around the island. The breeze brushes through your hair. The sweet scent of the sea surrounds you. Sail through the islet of Nea Kameni where the volcano sits at the center of the caldera. The craggy red glow of the island is exhilarating. Climb to the top where you can see the soft steam of life waving through the cracks of the plateau. Back along the calm waters of the caldera you can float in the warmth of the hot springs where the sapphire blue surrounds you, before enjoying lunch on the small island of Thirassia.

Sit along the pebbled shores or beneath the immaculate walls of the houses. The towering cliffs of Oia stand in the close distance, decorated by homes and a meandering walkway meant for the infamous donkeys. It is a moment when you look out over the vibrancy of the fishing boats coming home from their daily take and think how much you would love to settle here, somewhere between the mountaintop and the shore. The vast sky begins to fade to an absorbing deep orange. You watch from the cliffs of Oia, pronounced “eeah,” along the protruding bricks of the Venetian castle that watches over the sea. The windmill against the cliff side towers over the descending homes. The dusk air brings a lush perfume of Santorini wine. Over the horizon you watch where the soft fade of the day brings the joyous colors you had almost forgotten about, the rich glow that wraps over the sky until evening settles in.

Day 6

Santorini - The Romance of Sunset

Morning is your moment to spend reveling in the unparalleled beauty of the island. Sip mimosas by the pool where it looks as though the water stretches into the horizon. Indulge on honey smothered crepes and baklava. In the early afternoon, you will once again be taken to the marina and will set out on a romantic sunset cruise. Tour the various hard to reach beaches of the island, such as the White Beach, where the limestone cliff rises above the shore. The black sand blankets the earth while the water’s clear and cool blue is as inviting as the Red Beach was. Step into the water and feel the warmth of the afternoon sun shining down onto the ocean floor.

Around the rocky, ascending shores of the island and the black craggy lips of the volcano, which is actually dried magma from the most recent eruption in the 1950s, the diversity of the island is astounding. The breeze brushes gently against your cheeks. You are torn between wanting to watch the expanse of the island and wanting to see it through your partner’s eyes. Let the ship rock you into a loving embrace; the delectable fruitiness of wine and lush cheeses are for your pleasure. The sun drifts from the sky. You’re so close to the horizon you feel like you could touch it, but you’d rather stay in that embrace, watching the light sink behind the sea, where the glow of the sky reflects off of the water, and you never want to leave.

Day 7

Santorini - Eros’s Blessing

Let the morning blanket over Santorini once more. This particular morning comes with the bittersweet trip to the island’s airport where you will board your flight for Athens and eventually for home. Once in the air you can feel like you can see Mount Olympus out of the corner of your eye. Soaring over the rolling hills and hypnotic ruins of Greece you can see Eros wave to you giving you his blessing of love as you make your way to the comforts of home, where the honeymoon continues.

Greece Tour Review: Athens, Naxos, Santorini, Akrotiri, Winery, Volcano, Walking Food Tour, 8 Nights

We had a wonderful experience with our Zicasso travel specialist while planning our vacation in Greece. We had a group that consisted of two families; in total, eight people. Our travel specialist gave us recommendations based on the types of activities we wanted to do and the types of islands we were hoping to experience.

We stayed two nights in Athens, three nights on Naxos, and three nights in Santorini. The accommodations were fantastic! Every tour guide and driver was helpful and so kind.

When we wanted to add a stop in Naxos for an impromptu lunch, our guide was happy to detour and bring us to a place with the best gyros that the locals really enjoy! Everyone made us feel at home. Thank you for a beautiful trip and all the lovely memories!

Greece Travel Review: Paros, Santorini, Private Sailing Experience, 9 Nights

Zicasso's travel expert was very professional. She answered all my questions promptly and made sure to book the tours and hotels that fit our needs. Highly recommend.

Greece Honeymoon Review: 11 Days

Our 11-day honeymoon in Greece was nothing short of magical—and we owe so much of that to our Zicasso travel specialist and the entire team at her company. From the very start, they worked within our budget and offered a flexible payment plan that made planning feel manageable and stress-free.

As our trip approached, we had a thorough planning call with our specialist. She walked us through every detail of our itinerary, which completely put us at ease. That level of preparation meant we could focus on enjoying the moment instead of worrying about logistics.

Once we landed in Athens, the travel company was just a WhatsApp message away. Anytime we had a question—no matter how small—they responded within minutes. That kind of real-time support made us feel cared for the entire time.

The accommodations they booked were absolutely out of this world. Each hotel felt handpicked just for us—luxurious, romantic, and incredibly welcoming. It was clear the company has strong relationships with local vendors because we were treated like royalty everywhere we went.

As a gay couple, we also appreciated how safe, inclusive, and celebrated we felt throughout the trip. Every detail was thoughtfully planned with us in mind.

We’d recommend our travel company 1,000 times out of 10. If you're planning a gay honeymoon—or any trip to Greece—look no further. This was truly the trip of a lifetime.

Greece Trip Review: History, Local Cuisine, Scenery, 2 Weeks

Zicasso's travel specialist and her company did an amazing job of planning the most incredible and memorable trip for my family of five.

Every detail was meticulously thought out and perfectly executed. Every transfer was spacious and, thankfully, air conditioned. Each boutique hotel booked was unique and beautiful, with stunning views and amenities offered. Every excursion with English-speaking guides was incredible. The guides were knowledgeable and super-friendly.

We can't thank our travel specialist and her team enough for this amazing trip. We have memories for a lifetime!! I highly recommend using her for your next trip to Greece or Europe.

Greece Family Vacation Review: Santorini, Athens, Chania, Skiathos, Acropolis, Catamaran Sunset Cruise, Boat Ride, Private Tour, Old Town, Culture, 13 Days

It was our family's first time visiting Greece. We've always wanted to see the country and there were so many good things we'd heard about Greece.

There were a couple of things that made this trip very special. First, our youngest daughter's request for her 16th birthday was to go as a family and celebrate it in Greece. Second, none of us had ever been to Greece (on our previous trips, either my husband and/or I had been there or it was our family's second time there), so experiencing it together for the first time was really special.

Zicasso gave us two very good Greek travel companies. Both presented interesting itineraries to us. It was a year of planning and I'd gone back and forth with both travel companies with revisions of itineraries and, of course, the cost.

What made us choose this travel company was that the specialist was very honest, upfront, and very accommodating. He gave his honest opinion when I asked him about certain excursion activities or even restaurants (social media makes it really look good, especially for people who have not been there), and he did not pressure or force us into doing activities that did not interest us. He wanted to make sure we got to experience the best, but he was also very mindful of the costs. I had many back and forth conversations with him via texts, emails, or phone calls. He wanted to get to know our family. When I told him about our daughter's 16th birthday requests, he made sure he got every detail of what would make her birthday special. He also asked me about the interests of our eldest daughter because he wanted to surprise her with something special from Greece. That says a lot about the travel specialist and his company; they are personal and it's not just pure business for them.

A few days before we left the US, he called us so we could reschedule our flights (Santorini to Athens) to an earlier time going back home because he was concerned we may miss our connecting flights. Who does that? This just shows he checks every detail and wanted to make sure that even before we left the US, up to the time we arrived back home, everything was taken care of.

We had the best vacation in Greece. We did not worry about anything the entire time. The travel company was in constant communication with us. They created a WhatsApp group chat which made it so much easier. They gave us daily reminders and they arranged everything for us. We felt that the entire trip was customized for our family. The "Mamma Mia" island tour and birthday celebration for our daughter was perfect. The restaurant in Kolios was a great recommendation, and when I asked him to reserve the specific table and have a little birthday decoration for my daughter, it was accomplished.

Chania was amazing; both me and my husband loved this place. The view from our hotel room on Zampeliou Street, overlooking the old harbour and the Cretan Sea with the lighthouse, was breathtaking. We enjoyed walking through the streets of the Old Town of Chania.

We thought Santorini would be overcrowded, but we had a great tour guide who knew where to take us first to avoid crowds, and he gave us really helpful advice to go around the island. He took us to the little hidden alleys and showed how locals live. We ended up really loving the island.

We enjoyed every activity planned for us. We enjoyed our stay at our hotels. Mine and my husband's favorite were the hotel in Kalamata and the one in Chania. We really liked the view of the Acropolis from our rooms at the hotel in Athina, and that hotel was very convenient. We also enjoyed their breakfast there. The girls enjoyed the hotel in Skiathos because of how close it was to the beach, and they loved the "Mamma Mia" boat tour.

We each have our own favorite activities/tour/tour guides, but overall, our family had an amazing time in Greece – the way the travel agent and the entire team did a phenomenal job. The way the itinerary was put together and the timing for each place/island was just perfect for us. They exceeded our expectations. We fell in love with Greece, the culture, and the people, who were all so kind, nice, and very hospitable (not once did we have a bad encounter). We will definitely go back; there is so much more to explore and we'll definitely be working with this travel company in the future.

We only have good things to say about our Greece vacation and we highly recommend this travel agency. We've been to other countries and worked with other travel companies. In our opinion, this one was the best travel company we've ever worked with.

Greece Trip Review: Athens, Naxos, Acropolis, Delphi, Meteora, 10-Day Tour

Zicasso's travel agent took great care of my family, planning an excellent trip, with revisions based on our interests, and was quick to respond to my emails. He took care of the necessary arrangements when the ferry was unexpectedly cancelled.

We stayed in beautiful hotels and enjoyed our tours with knowledgeable guides and drivers. Our trip to Delphi and Meteora was a highlight of our trip. We had a great driver there.

Highly recommend!
