The Greek Islands are where civilization began — and where, thousands of years later, people still come to feel alive. The light here is different. The blue of the Aegean is a color that doesn’t exist anywhere else. And the warmth of Greek hospitality will make you feel like you’ve come home to a place you’ve never been.
This island-hopping odyssey takes you through three distinct personalities: Santorini’s dramatic caldera views and volcanic wine, Naxos’s unspoiled villages and ancient ruins, and Mykonos’s cosmopolitan energy and hidden beaches.
We travel by fast ferry and private boat, stay in hand-selected boutique hotels, and eat at tavernas where the owner’s grandmother is still in the kitchen.
