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.

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.

Accommodation options include a selection of comfortably furnished rooms and suites equipped with workspaces, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, central heating, TVs, private bathrooms, and hairdryers.

Continue and pass by the Prime Minister's residence (ex-RoyalPalace) guarded by the Evzones in their colorful uniform, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Hadrian's Arch, the Parliament and the memorial to the Unknown Soldier, the Academy, the University, the National Library, the ConstitutionSquare (Syntagma). On the Acropolis visit the Architectural Masterpieces of the Golden Age of Athens: The Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, and finally "the harmony between material and spirit", the monument that "puts order in the mind", the Parthenon. Continue and visit the place where at last the statues found their home and admire the wonders of the classical era: The new Acropolis Museum.
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.
Vencia Boutique Hotel is ideally located in the wonderful area of Aghios Eleftherios, with the vibrant town of Chora, with quaint shops, restaurants and taverns within walking distance of the property. The guest rooms and suites are modern, stylish and elegantly furnished, each equipped with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, TV, refrigerator, a hairdryer and a private bathroom. The property also offers a luxurious 3-bedroom villa, with bedrooms and bathrooms on the ground floor, a living room, a dining area, and a fully fitted kitchen on the upper floor.

Additional amenities and services include an infinity pool, a lush garden, a spa, a personal trainer, assistance with tour bookings, a reception and a hotel bus.
Mykonos is known for its love of food and cooking, making it a place where no one stays hungry. The island’s cuisine is full of authentic aromas and traditional Hellenic flavors. A traditional Mykonian farm is the perfect setting to enjoy these dishes. Visitors can experience the art of Greek cooking, the warmth of local hospitality, and the beauty of the farm’s natural surroundings.
Day 5 - 6
The picturesque Greek town of Rethymno, set on the honey-coloured shores of the northern coast of Crete, offers a rare combination of history and modern-day luxury, with its ornate Venetian-era old town, tropical beaches, welcoming warm water, and mouth-watering Cretan cuisine. Rethymno provides a lively atmosphere and an eclectic mix of architectural gems. Explore alluring museums, beautiful churches, and historically significant landmarks. Most iconic among these are the magical Fortezza of Rethymno, the insightful Archeological Museum, the striking Guora Gate, and the magnificent Municipal Garden. In the heart of the magical old town lies the picture-perfect Venetian Harbour (possibly the most romantic area of the city), travellers can enjoy tavern-lined streets and admire the views over the azure, boat-bobbed waters.
Grecotel Plaza Beach House invites guests for the perfect holiday break which combines an ideal beachfront location in Rethymno, comfortable lofts and apartments with self-catering facilities, thoughtful meal plans, free car parking, free Wi-Fi, dining, activities and wellness.
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.

Outstanding travel company—would book again anytime
Very friendly and knowledgeable advisor
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.
She listened carefully to all my wishes and ideas, gave me excellent advice, and made everything happen. All my questions were answered, and I feel very well taken care of. Thank you so much!
