Greece Tour Review: Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, History, Culture, Tradition, Local Cuisine, Shopping, 8 Nights

If you're considering a trip to Greece, look no further than Zicasso. Our travel expert planned an unforgettable journey for our family; Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini, and every detail was executed with care, expertise, and passion. 

From the moment we arrived in Athens, we were immersed in the country’s warm hospitality. Our agent made sure we had the perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxation. The historical sites in Athens, like the Acropolis and the ancient Agora, were must-sees.

Mykonos is vibrant yet relaxed. The beaches were beautiful. Every meal on this trip was a highlight. Fresh seafood, local cheeses, olive oil, and delicious pastries—each bite told a story of Greece’s deep culinary heritage.

In Santorini, we were captivated by the island’s charm—whitewashed buildings, breathtaking sunsets, and the deep blue Aegean Sea. We visited traditional villages, giving us a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions that are still very much alive.

Throughout the trip, what stood out most—beyond the stunning landscapes and ancient history—was the friendliness of the Greek people. Their warmth and pride in their culture made every moment feel welcoming and genuine.

Our agent didn’t just plan a vacation—he created an experience rooted in history, tradition, and hospitality. I can’t recommend him and Zicasso highly enough.

Our trip to Greece was everything we had hoped for and more. Each day was filled with experiencing the culture, the history, and the amazing atmosphere of Athens and the islands of Mykonos and Santorini. It was all made possible by our amazing "travel fairy," Zicasso's travel designer! At every turn, we were taken care of, which made our trip the best it could be. We couldn't have done it without her. She and her team were there for us no matter what, big questions/issues and small.

Greece Vacation Review: Santorini, Mykonos, Island Tour, Fishing Boat Trip, 12 Nights

Zicasso’s travel company was awesome. Our agent did a great job planning our trip experiences. The execution of all the private drivers and excursions was perfect. The trip planner tool was great to use, as we referenced it every day. The hotels, in-region airlines, and ferry reservations and tickets were all perfectly planned and delivered. Our many scheduled drivers were all on time and courteous. Our drivers were great drivers and scholars. They provided awesome restaurant and pub recommendations. 

We absolutely loved Santorini and the two excursions on that island. Both definitely exceeded our expectations. Our only excursion not rated five stars was the Jeep tour on Mykonos. Four of us were crammed into a closed, small Jeep and driven around the island with only a few stops. We were not taken to a top spot we heard about, which was the windmills and little Venice.  We rate that excursion zero stars for those reasons. 

All four trip participants agreed this was one of their best-ever vacations. We highly recommend this travel company for a great Greek vacation!
