Itinerary

Arrive in Athens at any time. Meet your CEO and fellow travellers for a welcome meeting in the evening and opt to go for dinner as a group. Stay: Parnon Hotel Athens

Take a ferry ride from Athens to the island of Tinos. Once the group arrives take advantage of a full free day on the island to roam as you please. Tinos has great food, wild beauty, and even better surfing and hiking, so you won’t want to waste any time. Climb up the hillsides for magnificent views of the deep blue waters and pristine beaches. Stay: Favie Suzanne Hotel Tinos (B)

Island hop over to gorgeous Mykonos today. Spend time enjoying this popular island, visit the windmills, and maybe treat yourself to a cocktail overlooking the ocean. Travel back to Tinos in the evening by ferry. Stay: Favie Suzanne Hotel Tinos (B)

Enjoy a six-hour tour of the island with a local guide. The tour includes lunch and visits highlights of Tinos like Dio Choria village, stunning Volax village, and the famous village of Pirgos. Afterwards take advantage of a free evening to keep exploring Tinos on your own. Stay: Favie Suzanne Hotel Tinos (B/L)

Leave Tinos behind and travel by ferry to Naxos. Set out on a CEO guided orientation tour of Naxos before visiting the Temple of Apollo and ending the day with some free time. Maybe stop at the Temple of Dimitra, a local microbrewery or the Church of Droisiani to see the 6th century wall paintings. Take in the view of Mt Zeus at Zas Cave and grab a meal at a local tavern before capping off the evening at Apollonas beach. Stay: Naxos Holidays Hotel (B)

Full free day in Naxos today. Maybe visit the castle on the hill built by a Venetian emperor in 1207. You can visit the archaeological museum there. You could also hike up Mount Zas for panoramic views of Naxos and bragging rights that you stood on the highest point in the Cyclades. The hike is 7km round trip and 300m of elevation gain. You could also walk through the small quaint villages that dot the hills of Naxos. You can also spend the day shopping, cafe hopping, and relaxing on the beach. Stay: Naxos Holidays Hotel (B)

Jump on the ferry to the island of Santorini. Upon arrival the group will enjoy a CEO guided caldera walk. The walk is just under 11km and will take you along the rim of the caldera between Fira and Oia. Afterwards, you have the option of attending dinner with the group for your final night in Santorini. Stay: Hotel Santorini (B)

Depart at any time. (B)
