Aegean Greece: Athens, Mykonos, Paros, Naxos & Santorini

Greece. When you arrive at Athens International Airport (ATH), your private driver will be waiting to greet you and escort you to your hotel in the heart of the city. After your journey, you can use the rest of the day to unwind, settle in, and start taking in the vibrant atmosphere of Athens. This arrival includes a private, seamless transfer and gives you a free afternoon to recharge after your flight.
You can begin exploring independently with a walk through Plaka, Athens’ oldest neighborhood. Its charming labyrinthine streets, neoclassical architecture, souvenir shops, and cozy cafés create an easy first introduction to the city. You can also head to Monastiraki Square, where the lively flea market offers unique treasures and views toward the ancient Agora and the Acropolis.
Later in the day, consider finding a rooftop bar or restaurant with a view of the illuminated Acropolis. In the evening, you may want to dine in Psiri, a trendy neighborhood known for vibrant tavernas serving traditional Greek cuisine and live music. These suggested activities are designed to help you explore Athens at your own pace on your first day.
Plaka sits at the foot of the Acropolis and is widely considered Athens’ oldest neighborhood.
