YAMAS you're in Greece baby! Fly into Athens International Airport where you'll start the next 9 EPIC days. Chill out, relax, and soak in the warm Greek heat. You're on holiday after all. Later on, we meet up for a big welcome dinner. Meet your new TruFam, get to know each other over some Ouzo shots, chat each other's ears off and find out all the essentials, name, age, where they're from, and whether they prefer cats or dogs. You know, the important stuff!

Have a chilled morning before we explore Athens by foot. We take a walking tour to explore Athens hidden gems and cultural hotspots, a sightseeing tour showing you the real Tru Greece. After we head to the ancient Acropolis Parthenon, built to be home to Athena, Greek Goddess of the City. The Acropolis oozes in culture and history and is the epitome of Greek heritage today. People travel from all around the world to visit the Acropolis, so walk around and take it all in. It really is a Bucket List destination. Afterwards, we head to the artsy neighbourhood of Exarchia. The walls are filled with colourful murals, the local shops are edgy and quirky and the company? Well...it couldn't be better. We spend the evening here for some 10/10 greek food, fill yourself up on saganaki, eat so much Tzatziki you think you'll turn into yoghurt or skip the food and wash the epic day down with a Mythos. (That's Greece's local beer by the way)

Winner winner. In the evening we take you wine tasting. Yeah, we’re fancy. Santorini produces some of the most delicious wine in the world, so it's only right we try it first hand. Watch the sun go down over the caldera as we become world-class wine connoisseurs, ok maybe not. But we'll definitely know the difference between white and red. After a few tipples of wine, we head into Fira, the capital of Santorini where we spend the evening and have dinner and a few drinks.

WHERE WE STAY

athens

Our hotel in Athens is in a very central location and is just a short walk from the scenic district of Plaka so is in an amazing spot for exploring the city. It has an amazing rooftop terrace where TruTravellers can grab a cocktail or beer with a backdrop of the Acropolis and the city... what a way to start off our incredible 9-day Island Hopper tour! If you small fitness room and a sauna are also featured on site. There is free Wi-Fi throughout and if you really fancy chilling out, there's a sauna!

 

All the rooms are air-conditioned and have a private bathroom.

mykonos

From the cityscapes of Athens to the beaches of Mykonos. Our resort is a 1-minute walk from one of the most famous beaches of Mykonos and has its very own private beach! So if you wanna get your tan on, this resort is perfect. It also has two bars right on the seafront and is home to one of the best nightclubs on the island, which constantly has insane lively beach parties! We really know how to pick the best places for you!

All rooms have a private bathroom with toiletries and a hairdryer.

Another incredible resort that is just a 1-minute walk from a stunning white sand beach with crystal blue seawater.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all areas and there are lots of options for breakfast.

santorini

Santorini is the last stop on this unforgettable 9-day adventure and what an amazing last stop is it.

Great experience!
The leaders Ibing and Ahmed were both amazing. They had so much energy, and made the experience wholly enjoyable. They were great in a crisis, and provided interesting context to each item on the itinerary. The trip allowed me to get a view of Sumatra I never would have been able to get alone.

My tour guide Loz was absolutely amazing and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to lead my first ever solo trip! I was nervous about coming on the trip but from the first moment she made me feel so comfortable and brought out the best in me all throughout the tour. Loz was so professional and was always there as a helping hand but also was always lifting spirits and having so much fun with us all, including participating in activities like tubing and dancing on many bars! The experience was unforgettable with plenty of activities that suits every need including drinking and non drinking,...

I had such an incredible time on my trip with Trutravels! I am so grateful I got to have Tess as my tour guide - she is not only an amazing guide, but an amazing person, too. Always making us smile, always looking out for us but also very knowledgeable and taught us so much about Greek culture and history. You can tell how much she loves her job; her energy, kindness and big heart is what made the trip so special. Definitely recommend this trip to everyone!! :)
