Conclude in Crete, staying in charming Rethymno. Here, Venetian architecture, local wine, and sandy beaches provide the perfect finale to your week. With just one week, this itinerary balances Portugal’s Atlantic coastline with the timeless allure of the Greek islands. It’s a perfect choice for travelers wanting a compact yet diverse experience of sun, history, and Mediterranean culture.Less

Sagres

Day 1 - 2

Sagres is a scenic fishing village in the southern Algarve of Portugal, in the municipality of Vila do Bispo. Boasting four beaches, enormous cliffs, and a lovely harbour, the town is a serene favourite among outdoor enthusiasts. Praia da Mareta provides a vast stretch of soft sand, is usually sheltered and good for swimming, and is flanked by a line of excellent bars and restaurants. Praia do Tonel offers great waves for surfers, while Praia da Baleeira is reliably sheltered and Praia do Martinhal, just out of town, provides a quiet respite. History enthusiasts will enjoy visiting the 15th-century Fortaleza de Sagres, which uses three 200-foot cliffs as its walls. Make sure to visit ‘the end of the world’ - Cabo de Sao Vicente - the westernmost point of mainland Europe, was once believed to be so and offers some truly awesome views.

Day 3

Dominating the Attica region of Greece, the country’s capital, Athens, is one of the oldest cities in the world. For over two and a half centuries, the astonishing Greek temples and monuments of Athens have continued to intrigue and amaze visitors from around the world. This icon of western civilization seamlessly combines ancient history with modern architecture and a surprisingly lively atmosphere. This is particularly apparent in areas at the foot of the Acropolis, Anafiotika, Plaka, Monastiraki, and Thissio where visitors will find numerous extraordinary Neoclassical buildings, trendy and traditional cafes, and shops, and narrow winding streets with historical treasures at every turn. Once you have enjoyed a history and art fix, try some mouth-watering Greek cuisine at one of the city’s fine local restaurants before indulging in the insatiable nightlife at the chic cocktail bars and waterfront dance clubs.

Mykonos

Day 4

Out of all of the Cyclades - the group of islands that surround the sacred Greek island of Delos - Mykonos is perhaps the most famous. It is known for its gorgeous green rolling hills, exquisite beaches and the glamorous, cosmopolitan crowd that typically vacations here. While Mykonos makes for an ideal base for archaeological day trips to the nearby islands, the island itself has plenty to offer. Spend your days exploring the quaint winding alleyways strewn with iconic whitewashed houses; sailing around the picturesque harbour and out into the glistening Aegean Sea; unwinding on the idyllic beaches, and dining in the numerous fine restaurants. If it’s unforgettable nightlife, a bit of luxury, and plenty of natural beauty you are after, Mykonos is undoubtedly the destination for you.

Jeep Safari & Secrets of Wine & Olives

Jeep Safari & Secrets of Wine & Olives

Embark on a journey to uncover the secrets of wine and olive production, paired with a thrilling safari tour that offers the best panoramic views of the region. Our adventure begins with a drive through charming villages and lush landscapes, leading us to our first destination: the Klados Winery in Panormos. Here, you’ll be warmly welcomed by the winery owner and treated to a wine-tasting experience complemented by traditional Cretan snacks.

Our journey continues through the picturesque villages of Sisses and Aloides, culminating in a visit to the historic Vosakos Monastery, once a refuge for Cretan rebels. From the monastery, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of Psiloritis and the Mylopotamos area, perfect for capturing stunning photographs. Keep your eyes peeled during the drive; you might be lucky enough to spot wild eagles and goats up close.

Next, we venture off-road to explore an olive mill in the village of Melidoni. Here, you’ll be guided through three different olive oil production processes—ancient handmade methods, diesel engine-assisted production, and modern centrifuge techniques. You'll learn all about olive harvesting and production and, of course, sample some traditional olive oil.

As lunchtime approaches, you'll be introduced to authentic Cretan cuisine at a tavern in Melidoni village. Savor Cretan delicacies and immerse yourself in the renowned warmth of Cretan hospitality. On our return journey, we’ll follow a smooth asphalt route along the national road, guiding us back to Rethymnon town.

  • Top travel company—we’d book again anytime. My travel consultant was very friendly: I shared what we had in mind, and she planned the trip for us. She was also able to make adjustments when something didn’t quite fit—everything went perfectly. Afterwards, customer service took care of us and was quick to help. The trip itself was a dream. It’s also worth mentioning that we had a local guide we could message with any questions. Excellent support, and the Tourlane app was perfect—everything we needed right at hand on our phone. Many thanks to everyone who supported us on this trip.
