Day by day
Open any day for the detail. Everything here can move: add a night, swap a hotel, change the order.
Athens
Land in Athens and drive into the old centre. Climb to the Acropolis with a private guide at opening time, then the Acropolis Museum in the heat of the day. Evenings are for rooftop bars facing the Parthenon and dinner in Psyrri.
The caldera at Oia
A short flight to Santorini and a suite stepped down the cliff at Oia. Walk the clifftop path to Imerovigli, swim at the red beach near Akrotiri, taste Assyrtiko at a winery, and watch the sun go down over the caldera from your terrace.
Mykonos and Delos
Take the ferry north to Mykonos. Walk into Little Venice for the evening, and take the boat across to Delos, the sacred island of Apollo, with a guide one morning before it gets hot.
Fly home
A short drive to Mykonos airport for the flight home to London Heathrow, connecting in Athens if there is no direct flight on your date.
