Mykonos
A land of legendary gods and sun-drenched islands, Greece is a timeless masterpiece. From the monumental ruins of ancient empires to the chic, whitewashed villages of the Cyclades, this is a country that captivates the soul, offering a perfect blend of profound history and serene island beauty.
A journey through Greece is a journey through the cradle of Western civilisation. Your days are for discovery. You can stand in awe of the Acropolis in Athens, wander the medieval streets of Rhodes’ Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or explore the sprawling Palace of Knossos in Crete, the heart of the Minoan civilisation. This is a country where millennia of history are etched into the landscape, waiting to be explored.
Yet, Greece is also a sanctuary for the senses, a place of blissful relaxation. After a day of exploring, you can retreat to a luxurious cliff-top villa in Santorini, watching one of the world’s most famous sunsets paint the sky. Indulge in long, lazy lunches at seaside tavernas, sail a private catamaran into a secluded turquoise cove, or simply feel the warmth of the sun on a perfect stretch of sand in Mykonos or Corfu.
This is a destination that perfectly balances monumental history with the tranquil, sun-drenched soul of island life.

A journey through Greece begins where Western civilisation was born. With a private guide, ascend the sacred rock of the Acropolis to stand in the shadow of the Parthenon, a monumental temple that has inspired humanity for millennia. Explore the elegant Erechtheion with its famous Caryatid porch and take in the breathtaking panoramic views over the sprawling city of Athens below. Your guide will bring the stones to life with the stories of Athena, Pericles, and the birth of democracy, allowing you to feel the profound history of this iconic site.
Prepare for a sight that feels truly otherworldly. In the heart of Greece, the UNESCO-listed monasteries of Meteora are perched impossibly atop sheer pinnacles of rock that rise like a forest of stone from the surrounding plain. Originally built by hermit monks seeking solitude and spiritual sanctuary, these cloisters are masterpieces of faith and engineering. You can venture inside to discover stunning Byzantine frescoes, ancient libraries, and gain a sense of the incredible peace and serenity that defines this sacred and geologically unique landscape.
Embark on a pilgrimage to what the ancient Greeks considered the ‘navel of the world’. The sanctuary of Delphi, set against the spectacular mountain scenery of Mount Parnassus, was the most important religious site in the ancient world. Walk the Sacred Way, past the treasuries of ancient city-states, to the ruins of the Temple of Apollo, where the mysterious Oracle once gave her prophecies. The sheer scale and beauty of the site, from the theatre to the stadium, is a profound reminder of a time when gods and mortals intertwined.
Connect with the spirit of competition and glory at ancient Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Set in a serene valley of olive and plane trees, this is where athletes competed for nearly 1,200 years. You can wander through the ruins of the ancient gymnasium and the Palaestra where they trained, and see the fallen columns of the great Temple of Zeus, once home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The highlight is stepping into the original stadium and standing on the marble starting line yourself.
Wander the beautiful, Venetian-influenced streets of Nafplio, one of Greece’s most romantic and elegant seaside towns. As the first capital of modern Greece, its laneways are a charming blend of neoclassical mansions, Ottoman fountains, and bougainvillea-draped balconies. You can explore the formidable Palamidi fortress for stunning views of the bay and the tiny Bourtzi castle, or simply find a perfect spot at a chic café along its elegant, marble-paved waterfront for a leisurely coffee.
Take your seat in the magnificent ancient theatre of Epidaurus, a marvel of Greek engineering and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Nestled within a peaceful sanctuary dedicated to Asclepius, the god of healing, the theatre is famed for its incredible state of preservation and perfect acoustics. You can stand at the centre of the circular stage and test its legendary properties for yourself—a dropped coin or a quiet whisper can be heard perfectly in the very last row, a testament to the genius of its design.
Step into the mythical, Bronze Age world of Homer’s epics at the ancient citadel of Mycenae. This was the legendary kingdom of King Agamemnon, who led the Greeks in the Trojan War. You can enter the fortress through the monumental Lion Gate, passing under the gaze of the oldest piece of monumental sculpture in Europe. Explore the mystery of the “cyclopean” walls, built from stones so large it was believed only giants could have moved them, and descend into the magnificent, beehive-shaped Treasury of Atreus.
