At a glance...

You’ll begin in Athens, where temples and theatres still stand as reminders of the city’s golden age. From there, travel to Nafplio to visit the ancient sites of Epidaurus and Mycenae before ending your journey on Mykonos, with a private yacht crossing to Delos, one of Greece’s most significant archaeological treasures.

Why Explore Ancient Greece

In detail

  • Days 1-4: Athens

    Days 1-4: Athens

    Start your journey in Athens, Greece’s iconic capital. Stay at a central luxury hotel of your choosing.

    Spend your days exploring the Acropolis, the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Theatre of Herodes Atticus, guided by a private expert who brings the city’s ancient stories to life. Visit the Temple of Hephaestus and the Acropolis Museum to see artefacts and sculptures that trace more than 5,000 years of history.

    In the evenings, enjoy traditional Greek cuisine at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the illuminated Parthenon, or take a relaxed city tour to see Athens by night.

  • Days 4–5: Nafplio

    Days 4–5: Nafplio

    Travel by private car to Nafplio, a scenic coastal town in the Peloponnese, known for its Venetian architecture and rich history. Check into a boutique hotel housed in a restored mansion, just steps from the seafront and the Archaeological Museum.

    During your stay, visit nearby landmarks including the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, Bourtzi Castle and the Archaeological Site of Mycenae. With a private guide, explore how each site reveals a different chapter of Greece’s ancient past – from mythology and medicine to art and empire.

    Evenings are at leisure to walk the harbour, enjoy a seafood dinner, or simply watch the sunset over the Argolic Gulf.

  • Days 5–8: Mykonos & Delos

    Days 5–8: Mykonos & Delos

    Continue by ferry to Mykonos, where you’ll spend three nights at a stunning clifftop resort overlooking Elia Beach. Your suite offers panoramic views and a private terrace for cooling off in the afternoon sun.

    When you’re ready to explore, board a private yacht for the short journey to Delos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important archaeological locations in Greece. Walk through ancient streets, temples and sanctuaries dedicated to Apollo and Artemis, guided by an expert who will share the stories behind the island’s monuments.

    Return to Mykonos for your final evening, dining along the harbour and reflecting on your journey through the heart of ancient Greece.

Few experiences in Japan are as quietly revealing as an onsen. These natural hot springs are not simply places to bathe. They are social spaces governed by a shared understanding of how to behave considerately in close proximity to others. For first-time visitors, the rules can feel opaque.

Costa Rica’s reputation for wellness tourism obscures what’s actually true: this is a legitimately wild country with volcanic peaks, technical whitewater, and jungle systems that demand real skill to navigate.
