Athens, Naxos & Santorini — Your Greece Vacation, Personally Arranged
Enjoy an 11-day vacation through Athens, Naxos and Santorini, with private road transfers and local support connecting your journey.
We arrange your four-star or boutique hotels, domestic flights and ferry crossing. Discover Athens landmarks, walk through Naxos Old Town, join an included Naxos cooking class and enjoy a shared Santorini sunset cruise, with time for the beach and your own discoveries.
Selected small-group experiences offer a more economical starting point, with private sightseeing and hotel upgrades available. This is a personally planned independent vacation, rather than one escorted group departure. Go Epic Tours and our local teams support your travel arrangements throughout your stay.

Itinerary
Day 1 — Arrive in Athens Your private driver meets you at Athens International Airport and transfers you to your hotel. Settle in and take the rest of the day at your own pace. Depending on your arrival time, enjoy a relaxed meal or begin exploring the surrounding neighborhood. Your travel information includes the contacts you need during your stay. Overnight: Athens
Day 2 — The Acropolis and Athens Join a small-group visit to the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum for an introduction to ancient Athens. Your confirmed itinerary will explain the meeting or pickup arrangements and the admissions included in your quotation. A private sightseeing upgrade is available on request. Keep the afternoon free for Plaka, a leisurely lunch, shopping or time at your hotel. Tell us about your comfortable walking pace when planning the trip, as archaeological sites and historic streets involve steps and uneven surfaces. Overnight: Athens | Breakfast
Day 3 — Fly to Naxos After breakfast, your private driver takes you to Athens Airport for your arranged domestic flight to Naxos. On arrival, meet your local driver for a private transfer to your hotel. Settle into island life, with the rest of the day free to relax or explore nearby. Your Naxos contact and activity arrangements are provided as part of your travel information. Overnight: Naxos | Breakfast
Day 4 — Naxos Old Town Discover Naxos Old Town on an included small-group walking tour. Explore its lanes and learn about the island's history and everyday life, following the route provided by the selected local operator. The rest of the day is yours.

Day 6 — Naxos at Your Own Pace Enjoy a full day without a scheduled excursion. Spend time at the beach, relax at your hotel or explore independently. If you would like another arranged experience, we can discuss a countryside or village outing and add it to your quotation.

Your reservation and meeting instructions are arranged in advance, with the sailing and seat category specified in your confirmed itinerary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a private tour or a small-group tour?
It is a customizable independent vacation with private road transfers and selected small-group experiences. You do not travel with one escorted group throughout. Private sightseeing upgrades are available on request, while scheduled flights and ferries remain shared transport.
Are all airport and port transfers private?
Yes. The airport, port and hotel road transfers included in this itinerary are arranged privately for your traveling party. Your travel information will explain the meeting points and pickup arrangements. Any additional transfers for optional experiences will be described in your quotation.
Are the Naxos cooking class and Santorini sunset cruise included?
Yes. The suggested package includes a small-group Naxos cooking class and a shared Santorini sunset cruise. Your quotation will identify the selected services, any included meals or drinks, transfer arrangements and operating conditions. A private cruise can be requested as an upgrade.
What support will we have during the trip?
Go Epic Tours and our local teams provide support with your travel arrangements throughout your stay. Your travel documents will include the relevant contacts and instructions for each destination. You travel independently, with arranged transfers and selected experiences rather than a personal escort accompanying you every day.
Can we upgrade the excursions to private experiences?
Yes. Tell us which experiences you would prefer privately, and we will check availability and prepare a revised quotation. A private sightseeing upgrade does not turn scheduled airline or ferry services into private transport.
Can we choose a Santorini hotel with an infinity pool?
Yes, you can request a hotel with an infinity pool, a particular view or a private-pool room, as well as beach-area alternatives. The exact property, room category and included features must be confirmed in your quotation. A shared hotel infinity pool is different from a private pool attached to your room.
Can we add Delphi or change the number of nights?
Yes. We can review additional Athens time for a Delphi excursion, extend an island stay or adjust the balance of sightseeing and leisure. Changes are planned around the available connections, hotels and experiences and are reflected in your personalized quote.
Why do we return to Athens before departure?
The suggested itinerary includes a final Athens night to separate the island connection from your international departure. We can review a different ending when your flight arrangements make it suitable.
Are flights from the United States or Canada included?
International airfare is included only if expressly listed in your quotation. The suggested itinerary includes the domestic Athens–Naxos and Santorini–Athens flights, with the selected flights and baggage allowances confirmed before booking.
