    The Journey
    • Day 1 - Arrive in Athens

      Welcome to Greece! Upon arriving at the Athens International Airport (ATH), you will be greeted at the airport by your Hosts and private driver and then transported to your hotel. The remainder of the afternoon will be spent at your own leisure, feel free to walk through the beautiful streets of Greece’s capital, pop into a few stores or grab a bite at a local eatery. Athens is a mixture of modern trends and historic traditions, making it the ideal place to sightsee and explore. The city is your oyster until the evening, when your fellow travelers and hosts will gather for a small, casual welcome dinner to kick off ten days of authentic and exciting travel!

      Day 2 - Adventure Athens

      Your hosts will kick off day two with a trip through the Athens city center to visit the countless beautiful ruins and landmarks that give Greece its rich history. You will be taken to Syntagma Square, located in the heart of Athens, to see fascinating monuments like the Hellenic Parliament, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the National Garden. It is here, in the beautiful city of Athens, where you will enjoy the sights of iconic landmarks like the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Arch of Hadrian. Guests will also make a stop at the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first Olympic Games of the modern era were held in 1896. Afterwards, guests will visit the Acropolis to witness the architectural masterpieces of the Golden Age of Athens, including the Propylaea, the Erechtheion and the Parthenon. We will end our exciting day in Athens with a delicious Mediterranean dinner before returning to the hotel. Get some good rest, because tomorrow is another big day!

      Day 3 - Travel to Hydra

      Today we’ll be on island time! In the morning, you will journey to Hydra via ferry. Located in the Saronic Gulf, this gorgeous spot is known for its breathtaking sights, boutique shops and cultural atmosphere. You will have the chance to explore the island at your leisure but prepare to find an alternate way of transportation, Hydra is car-free, so you may have to travel by foot, boat, or donkey (yes, donkey) to get around. We recommend you visit the local cafes and restaurants that line the waterfront as well as trek through charming alleyways to discover the beautiful courtyards and boutiques that are sprinkled throughout the island.

      Day 4 - Explore Hydra Island

      There’s no way to take in all of Hydra’s beauty in one day, so enjoy another day of leisure. Feel free to ask your hosts for recommendations on places to eat, shop and sightsee, you may even receive a special tour of the best spots to visit. If you need some inspiration, check out Hydra’s Museum of Historical Archives, climb the Profitis Ilias Hill for a breathtaking view of the harbor or walk to the beach for a day of sunshine and swimming!

      Day 5 - Travel to Nafplio / Free Day

      Today, you depart Hydra via ferry to the vibrant coastal city of Nafplio, a beautiful seaside village full of shops, nightlife, dining and of course history. Enjoy two full nights exploring the medieval Old Town with its cobblestone streets framed with bougainvillea and Turkish fountains. Here you will find lots of local tavernas and plenty of shopping surrounding the city squares. Prefer the coastline? Perfect. Nafplio is a coastal gem where the small fortress of Bourtzi rises out of the bay to greet you from its Venetian past. Small boats can ferry you out to the fortress for some breathtaking views of the city at sunset. Just outside of town are multiple beaches where you can spend the day lazily soaking up the bountiful sunshine.

      Day 6 - Pali Midi Castle & Epidaurus

      Today you will begin your adventure by visiting the Palimidi Castle in Nafplio. This castle is an architectural masterpiece, boasting gorgeous views and stonework as well as a great workout… that is, if you decide to take the 857 steps up to the fortress. Lucky for you, you can reach the castle by road, no cardio necessary! You then have an afternoon of exploration in Epidaurus. Here is where you will visit one of the most well-preserved theaters of the ancient world with history dating back to the late 4th century BC. Take in the beautiful greenery and valley views, you won’t be disappointed!

      Day 7 - Travel to Corinth / Visit Mycenae

      When you depart Nafplio, you will head to Mycenae, home of the famous Lion’s Gate. According to ancient legends, Perseus, the son of Zeus and Danae, founded this beautiful ancient city. Once you have finished walking the path of the gods, our adventure takes us a bit off the beaten path to the waterside Athina Eco Farm and Tavern, a family-owned establishment that sits just on the edge of the Bay of Agios Vlasios. Here you can indulge in lunch sourced directly from the family’s organic farm and pick up some goodies from their quaint, onsite shop. You can pick from a selection of extra virgin olive oil, homemade jams, dried oregano, and even skincare products all from the farm. After lunch, the more adventurous travelers can grab goggles and a snorkel and swim off to find the Bay’s hidden secret. Slumbering lost under the waves just 50 meters off the shore from the restaurant is the hidden Sunken City of Ancient Epidarus. One can see the ruins of what is thought to have been a trading post in ancient times. Paved roads, the foundations of buildings, and even the remains of traditional Mycenean pottery are clearly visible through the crystal-clear waters. The restaurant even has an outdoor shower for a quick rinse before continuing your journey. Next, you will get on our private minibus to travel to Corinth, located in south-central Greece. On the journey to Corinth, we will see the Isthmus of Corinth where you can enjoy views of this grand historical feature. Here is where you will check into the Enalio Suites, where you will stay the remainder of the trip. Be sure to enjoy Enalio’s seaside pool, hot tub, and snack bar on some of your free time. After getting settled and enjoying an afternoon of relaxation, you and your fellow travelers will all gather for a fabulous dinner.

      Day 8 - Day Trip to Loutraki / Swimming Cove

      Looking to soak up some more of that Mediterranean sun? Today is another wonderful day to do so, but first, you will get to tour a very local olive oil factory where you can marvel at the making and the specialized equipment that takes us from olive to oil all while learning its many benefits! Then, after lunch, you will leave for the gorgeous coastline. Here you will again be in awe of the sparkling, crystal clear water and enjoy breathtaking views from the cliff-like coastline at Heraion Bay. Feel free to take a quick jaunt up the cliffs to explore the lighthouse nestled atop, or head down to the seaside where you can explore the remains of the Heraion of Perachora, the sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Hera. It’s truly a day to bask in the sunshine, as you will have many opportunities to sightsee and sunbathe amidst the ancient ruins of Loutraki. After a day of fun in the sun, guests will return to your accommodations for dinner at a local seafood restaurant that is packed with fresh flavors. On the way, we have time to stop in Loutraki again for some last minute souvenirs if desired.

      Day 9 - Day Trip Ancient Corinth & Wineries

      Today you start your day exploring Ancient Corinth, once considered the richest city of the ancient world due to its position between two seas.

Here is where you will sample specialty wines from the sprawling vineyards and enjoy lunch featuring the perfect pairings.

      Day 10 - Day Trip to Perigiali / Free Day

      Today you will be visiting Perigiali, home of your host, George. This small seaside town is where you will enjoy delicious food and impressive views of nearby islands. Feel free to walk down to the quiet beaches for a swim, if you’re lucky, you may see dolphins!

    What Travelers Are Saying

    Rated 5 out of 5
    I’ve had the pleasure of going on 2 Raro trips – Sardinia and Umbria. And I have to say, there will likely be many more! The trips they curate offer unique experiences with the chance to fully engage in local culture! As the usual organizer of vacations, I can’t express how wonderful it is to leave all the usual stress of research, planning, booking and executing to their capable hands. Both trips were a holistic indulgence. Highly recommend using Raro for your next trip.

    Rated 5 out of 5
    Went to Italy with Raro and it was the best trip I have ever been on! They truly do things the right way. They will take you to the most special places that you have never heard of, and would have never gone too if it wasn’t for them. The hospitality and vibes are also unmatched, when you travel with Raro they make you feel like family. Your needs are their needs. I highly recommend traveling with raro if you want to be amazed!

    Will K.

    Rated 5 out of 5
    The trip to Sardegna was my 3rd with raro. The hosts truly make you feel like you are traveling with a friend. The groups are smaller than many other tour companies. There is no comparison to other group tours I have taken-raro tours are special. The trips feel curated in a way that makes you experience the culture and environment as more than simply a tourist. I highly recommend raro for your next adventure.
