Why this trip
The morning belongs to the Acropolis, the evening to the terrace with a view of it: that is the simplest way to describe Athens as a luxury trip. From May to June and from September to October the temperatures are ideal for getting around on foot, and hills such as Lycabettus and Philopappos invite you to take walks. The Parthenon and the ancient Agora can be visited with a private guide early in the morning, before the groups arrive. The Areopagus offers a view without an entrance fee.
Afterwards a break at the hotel is worthwhile: the Grande Bretagne, the King George, the Four Seasons Astir Palace and the Grand Hyatt differ in location and tone, and which suits your rhythm is discussed together. Athens is also the starting point for islands: Mykonos, Paros, Naxos and Santorini are neighbours in the planning. If you travel by ferry, you need a reserve, because timetables change seasonally. A private transfer to the port spares you stress, and a return flight with buffer time spares you haste.
In the video call, days in the city and changes to islands are set so that nothing feels rushed.
