DAY 1 ARRIVE IN ATHENS, GREECE.
Welcome to Athens! At 6 pm, meet your Globus Host and traveling
companions for a welcome drink.
DAY 2 ATHENS.
Sightseeing with a Local Guide features a visit to the world-famous
ACROPOLIS, perched high on a rocky outcrop overlooking the city.
Here, see the Parthenon, the Erechtheum with its Porch of Maidens,
the Temple of Athena Nike, and enjoy a panoramic view that includes
glimpses of the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Theater of Dionysus, and
the beautifully preserved Theseum, where Socrates taught. Later, a
city orientation tour features the Old Parliament House and a picture
stop at the Panathenaic Stadium. Built in the 2nd century AD, it is the
only stadium in the world built entirely of marble, and was host to the
opening and closing ceremonies of the first modern Olympics in 1896.
The rest of the day is at leisure. Tonight, why not try out local fare and
entertainment reminiscent of Zorba the Greek? (B)

Meet your Tour Director and head for the port of Piraeus or Rafina
this morning. Around 7:30 am, sail into the deep-blue waters of the
Aegean Sea. Later, dock at the mountainous island of Mykonos,
where mythology’s Heracles defeated and killed the giants. Here,
characteristic windmills, swaying palm and eucalyptus trees, and
dazzling white Cycladic architecture greet you. At a local restaurant this
evening, sample local specialties, like louza loukaniko (sausage) and
kopanisti (peppery goat cheese), then mingle with the locals at a quaint
taverna or take a bus to the main square of Mando Mavrogenous. (B,D)
DAY 4 MYKONOS.
The granite island of Mykonos is one of the most characteristic of the
Cyclades and has retained its timeless beauty. Walk through the network
of narrow streets and visit the CHURCH OF AGIA KIRIAKI, renowned

Amygdalota. Be sure to watch for Petros the Pelican, the island’s celebrated
mascot. Afternoon at leisure to relax or for individual activities. (B)
DAY 5 AT LEISURE ON MYKONOS.
A whole day to do just as you please. Relax in the sun on one of the
beautiful golden sandy beaches or take a short boat ride to see the
archaeological ruins on the nearby island of Delos, a UNESCO World
Heritage Site. Inhabited since the 3rd millennium BC, Delos was known
in ancient times as a sacred sanctuary and, later, as the birthplace of the
twin gods, Apollo and Artemis. (B)

traditional Greek meal. (B,D)
DAY 7 SANTORINI.
Spend the morning getting acquainted with the history and
creation of Santorini. Stroll along the cobblestone streets and
