Day 1

Welcome to Greece

Yassou, and welcome to Athens — the historic gateway to Mythical Greece!

Upon arrival at Athens International Airport, your personal English-speaking driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name. You’ll be transferred in comfort to your handpicked boutique hotel for a restful start to your journey.

Take the rest of the day at leisure — perhaps stroll through the charming streets of Plaka, enjoy a rooftop view of the Acropolis with a chilled glass of Assyrtiko, or simply unwind after your flight.

Day 2

Athens: Where Legends Were Born

Today, Athens reveals her legendary past. Your private guide will meet you at the hotel to begin an inspiring walking and driving tour through the beating heart of the ancient world.

Step onto the sacred hill of the Acropolis, pass under the grand Propylaea, marvel at the Temple of Athena Nike and be moved by the sheer majesty of the Parthenon. The views are as unforgettable as the stories.

Onwards past the Parliament and former Royal Palace, your journey takes in Constitution Square, the towering Temple of Olympian Zeus, and the awe-inspiring Panathenaic Stadium — where the modern Olympic spirit was reborn in 1896.

🍽️ Comfort guests enjoy a curated local lunch stop with flexible dining.
🍷 Deluxe & Indulgence guests are treated to a signature lunch showcasing Greek flavours in an elegant setting.

Finish the day with scenic stops including Hadrian’s Arch, the Academy, and the National Library before returning to your hotel.

Breakfast included (Lunch included for Deluxe & Indulgence guests)

Athens at Your Leisure

Take the day at your own pace. Revisit your favourite spot from yesterday’s tour, lose yourself in the narrow streets of Anafiotika, or sip Greek coffee slowly on a shaded café terrace.

If you’re craving more, your local trip coordinator can arrange a visit to the Acropolis Museum, a food walking tour, or a sunset cocktail with a view of Lycabettus Hill.

Breakfast included

Cameo Island

Day 4

Island Bound: Athens to Zakynthos

After a leisurely breakfast, your driver will take you west across the Peloponnese to the port of Kyllini. From there, enjoy a relaxed ferry ride to Zakynthos — a lush Ionian island famed for its dramatic coastline, hidden coves, and warm-hearted locals.

On arrival, your local driver will greet you and transfer you to your boutique accommodation. Settle in and breathe deeply — the island pace has officially begun.

A Slice of Paradise: The Blue Caves & Shipwreck Bay

Zakynthos is yours to discover. For Comfort travellers, this is a day to design your own adventure — from beach hopping and scooter rides to a lazy lunch beside the sea.

For Deluxe and Indulgence guests, today is the trip’s sparkling highlight:
Board a private boat charter and set off across crystal-clear waters to Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Bay), one of the most photographed beaches in the world. Carved into the cliffs, this cove’s allure is otherworldly.

Then cruise to the Blue Caves, where sunlight dances through the water and the sea glows in mesmerising shades of cobalt. Swim in hidden lagoons and soak up the sense of freedom only the sea can give.

Light refreshments and drinks are served aboard for Deluxe & Indulgence guests.

Breakfast Included

Day 6

Slow Travel, Zakynthian Style

Whether you choose to sunbathe, snorkel, sip cocktails, or discover the island’s more rustic mountain villages, today is yours.

We’ll be ready with tailored tips if you’d like to taste organic olive oil from a family estate, join a small-group cooking class, or visit a tiny monastery tucked into the hills. Or simply do what Zakynthos does best — slow down and savour life.

Breakfast included.

Day 7

Return to Athens

This morning, enjoy your final moments on the island before your transfer to Zakynthos Airport for the short flight back to Athens.

You’ll be met at the terminal and taken to your nearby hotel — the ideal retreat before your departure tomorrow. Toast your final evening with a farewell ouzo or simply relax after a full and unforgettable journey.

What Our Travellers Say

Your Questions Answered

This isn’t a coach tour ticking off temples. Mythical Greece is a private journey designed to immerse you in the heart of ancient Athens and the soul-soothing beauty of Zakynthos. From walking beside the Parthenon with your private guide to gliding across turquoise waters to Shipwreck Beach, it’s an experience that’s personal, seamless, and anything but ordinary.

You’ll fly into Athens International Airport (ATH), the gateway to your Mythical Greece adventure. Major airlines flying from Australia with one connection include Qatar Airways, Emirates, Singapore Airlines, and Etihad. Prefer to use points or start from elsewhere? No problem — we’ll help you choose a flight that fits your timeline and travel style.

Absolutely. This itinerary was crafted with first-timers in mind. You’ll see Greece’s most iconic sights — like the Acropolis and Parthenon — without the stress of group travel. With a mix of guided exploration and free time to wander at your own pace, it’s the perfect introduction to Greece’s ancient wonders and relaxed island culture.

Yes, and we’ve designed it to feel completely comfortable. As a solo traveller, you’ll have private guides, door-to-door transport, and full local support throughout. Whether you’re watching the sun dip into the Ionian Sea or learning the history of the Acropolis one-on-one, the journey is as safe and enriching as it is unforgettable. A solo supplement applies.

We believe the best travel moments often come unscripted. While your days in Athens include guided highlights, you’ll also have space to linger over a coffee in Plaka or discover a local bakery tucked down a backstreet. Zakynthos, in particular, invites a slower pace — with free days to swim, explore or simply soak in the scenery.

Definitely. Couples love the balance of cultural depth and dreamy coastal downtime. Families enjoy the flexibility of private transfers, optional slower mornings, and stays tailored to comfort and space. Whether you’re travelling as two or bringing the whole crew, Mythical Greece adapts to you.

We partner with boutique hotels that reflect the charm and character of each location — from stylish city stays near Syntagma Square to peaceful island retreats in Zakynthos. Choose your preferred level of comfort:

  • Comfort: Well-located, stylish, 3–4 star

  • Deluxe: Chic design, elevated extras

  • Indulgence: Luxe properties with standout service and ambience

Not at all. Your domestic flight from Zakynthos back to Athens and the scenic ferry from the mainland to the island are both included in your package. We handle all the connections so you can simply enjoy the journey — no juggling tickets, terminals, or transport schedules.

This trip is ideal for curious souls who want to experience the best of Greece without crowds or compromise. It’s for those who value history but don’t want to spend their whole trip in museums — who love the idea of a wine at sunset by the sea just as much as standing on the steps of the Parthenon. If you want culture and calm in equal measure, you’ve found your fit.
