Mykonos

Day 1: Welcome to Mykonos!

Welcome to the island of Mykonos! Legend has it that the island was born from the petrified remains of giants defeated by Hercules, bearing the name of Apollo's grandson.

You'll be picked up from the airport by your driver and, once you've checked into your hotel, you'll soon find this cosmopolitan yet utterly charming destination will enchant you. It's a whitewashed paradise set against the sparkling blue sea – a sight you’ll never forget.

The rest of the day is all yours to spend as you wish, exploring this island paradise.

Day 2: Learn about farm-to-table fare

After breakfast this morning, you can opt to step into the world of Mykonian cuisine with a small-group cooking workshop. Join an immersive experience where you'll collect fresh, locally-sourced ingredients and gain insights into the life of a rural family on a farmstead.

Once your basket is filled, head to the rustic, open-air kitchen in the heart of the farmstead, where you'll follow beloved family recipes to prepare a delicious meal. After your culinary creation is complete, it's time to enjoy the fruits of your labour and taste the flavours of Mykonos. Gather around a beautifully set, traditional table with local wine and tsipouro, and enjoy this beautiful experience.

Afterwards, you can either head back to your accommodation to relax, or explore the island further at your own pace.

Day 3: Journey through paradise

Today, you'll set sail on an exclusive adventure from Mykonos to the captivating islets of Delos and Rhenia. This journey through history – and paradise – is a must for anyone exploring Mykonos.

First up is Delos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In Greek mythology, Delos was considered a holy island, emerging from the Aegean waves by the will of Poseidon; it's where Leto sought refuge to give birth to Apollo and Artemis.

Next, continue to the nearby Rhenia and find your spot at the renowned Blue Lacuna, Skinos Beach. Here, you can plunge into the crystal-clear waters Greece is famous for, and take a wonderful stroll along the breathtaking coastline, feeling more relaxed with every step.

Day 4: Sensational Santorini

After breakfast, you will journey to the captivating island of Santorini - a place of unparalleled beauty, irresistible charm, and warm-hearted locals. This Cycladic gem, known as Thira in ancient times, is the southernmost jewel in the Greek island cluster.

Santorini boasts an active volcano, creating a unique topography. The island's formation was a result of intense volcanic activity, with colossal eruptions causing the central part of the volcano to collapse, forming a vast caldera.

The rest of today is at leisure for you to enjoy however you wish, perhaps gazing out over the awe-inspiring caldera, enjoying mouth-watering local cuisine, or just strolling through idyllic streets, soaking in this picture-perfect place.

Day 5: Starry nights

Begin your morning with a visit to the island's first organic blackcurrant vineyard. Stroll among fragrant organic herbs like caper and thyme, and experience the delights of herb-infused local olive oil with a tasting. Spend the afternoon at leisure, before watching the pink hues of sunset paint the sky from the best seat on the island, on the summit of Mount Profitis Ilias.

As night falls, wander down to Black Beach, where a romantic candlelit setting awaits. Relax into the evening beneath the twinkling stars as you enjoy a cocktail and some delicious finger food.

Day 6: Sip on Santorini

Get ready for an exclusive wine adventure today. A private sommelier will lead you along Santorini's wine roads, delving deep into the island's renowned indigenous grape varieties.

Explore the captivating world of volcanic wines, including the iconic Vinsanto, during visits to three handpicked wineries. Unlock the secrets of Santorini's unique viticulture, a wine culture distinct from anywhere else on Earth, guided by true wine connoisseurs.

Sit down for a light lunch, carefully designed to elevate your wine-tasting adventure by extracting the aromas from the wines through thoughtful food pairing.
