After a long travel day we will arrive in Athens and be greeted by a driver to take us to our Hotel. After an hour or so to get unpacked and settle into our new accomodations, we will (depending on our arrival time) start our Greek Adventure with a leisurely stroll through Anafiotika (a beautiful neighborhood at the base of Acropolis Hill) taking in the breathtaking views and soaking up the rich history that seeps from every corner.

After working up an appetite, we’ll head to a charming local taverna for a delightful lunch, where you can savor traditional Greek dishes bursting with flavor. Imagine dining al fresco, surrounded by the warmth of the Greek sun and the buzz of friendly conversation.

As the sun begins to set, we’ll gather for a cozy dinner at another handpicked spot, where we can reflect on the day’s adventures and share our favorite moments. The return walk to our hotel will be peaceful, with the twinkling lights of Athens guiding us back. Let’s remember to bring wine with us back to the hotel , to sit and share on the rooftop with an amazing view of the Acropolis Hill.

As the day winds down and the evening begins, we’ll take a leisurely walk to Plaka, the enchanting “Neighborhood of the Gods.” This area is nestled right at the foot of the Acropolis and boasts narrow, winding streets and charming, picturesque houses. An absolute favorite of visitors to Athens. We’ll end our day with a delightful dinner in Plaka, savoring delicious local cuisine while soaking in the magical ambiance of this historic neighborhood.
