Quotes From the Field:
"There's no better way to enjoy Greece than with a mix of activities. Dive deep into the Isles' natural beauty on a hike, bike, horseback ride, sea kayak or swim. Step back in time as you explore whitewashed villages and ancient sites rich in history and Greek mythology, and indulge in fresh, mouthwatering Mediterranean fare. Add to this, ample time to simply relax on the beach, and you've got one of the most varied, enriching trips on the planet!"

Greek Isles - Sun-Drenched Cyclades
A once-in-a-lifetime, heart-thumping, finger-licking adventure through the sun-drenched Cyclades
From the Acropolis of Athens to Santorini's extraordinary caldera to the archeological wonders of the island of Delos, this 10-day multisport adventure takes you deep into the heart of five of Greece's most fabled Cycladic Islands.
In Athens, soak up the knowledge of an expert guide as you tour the Acropolis and the Parthenon and visit the must-see sites of Hadrian's Arch, the Temple of Olympian Zeus and Panathinaikon Stadium, home of the first Olympic Games. Navigate the back roads of Tinos by bike and watch a basket maker at work in the snow-white village of Volax. Try your hand at traditional Greek fare in a private cooking class, ride horseback along a chalky beach in Naxo, paddle the azure waters around Santorini by kayak, and soak up a postcard-perfect sunset over the Aegean Sea as you toast the day over a prized dessert wine in VinSanto.
By night, savor a delectable meal of fresh, local cuisine and relax in the comfort of your hotel, carefully selected for its impeccable service and hospitality.
