Island-hopping Greece with your new crew

Nine days from ancient Athens to Santorini's cliffs, hopping islands by ferry. Stand before the Parthenon, dance at a Mykonos beach club, swim through Ios's sea caves on a speedboat day with a prosecco picnic and watch the sun drop behind Oia's blue domes. A new beach, a new cocktail and new friends every day. Yamas to the summer you'll keep talking about.

Yamas, Welcome To Athens

You're in Greece. Fly into Athens International Airport, then chill out and soak up the warm Greek heat. You're on holiday, after all. This evening we meet for a big welcome dinner with your new crew. Ouzo shots, chatting each other's ears off and the essentials: name, age, home town, and whether they're a cat or dog person.

Ancient Athens And Exarchia

After a chilled morning, we explore Athens on a walking tour of its cultural hotspots, then climb to the Acropolis and the Parthenon, built as the home of Athena. Take your time; it's a true bucket-list moment. This evening we head to artsy Exarchia, all murals and quirky shops, for saganaki, mountains of tzatziki and a cold Mythos.
