Famed Cosmopolitan: 8-Day Athens & Mykonos Tour with Delphi & Delos
Ancient Greece Meets Cosmopolitan Mykonos
Discover two very different sides of Greece in one journey. Begin in Athens, where ancient monuments, museums and lively neighbourhoods bring the country’s long history into the present. From there, travel to Delphi, one of the most important sites of the ancient Greek world, before crossing the Aegean to Mykonos.
In Mykonos, whitewashed houses, winding lanes, beaches and sea views create a completely different setting. Enjoy time to explore the island at your own pace, while a visit to nearby Delos adds another remarkable chapter of Greek history.
Over eight days, the journey moves naturally between archaeology and island life, cultural discovery and relaxation. It is a chance to experience Greece not through a single theme, but through the contrasts that make the country so fascinating.
