Escape the crowds to cacti-clad Lokrum for a spot of yoga and botanical walking, or join in to graze at trendy restaurants on the rocks. It’s no wonder the glitterati flock to the strength of this charming and inspiring medieval Dalmatian marvel.

   27 Jul 2026

   Arrive 07:00

   Athenians don’t live in the past. Ahead of its time, Athens exudes glamour and a sense of possibility - housing galleries, gelaterias, bijoux boutiques alongside a plethora of museums. And you can’t help but marvel at the archaeological wonders of the Acropolis and the Parthenon. Stroll through vibrant streets and markets, dance at buzzing bouzoukia, sing along in tavernas. At night, head to the harbour, where dimly lit bars serve the local ice cold beer. And, as you inhale the salty air and watch Greek fishing boats peacefully depart for their catch, reflect on this ancient city's progressive attitude.

    Day 13 ·Katapola, Greece

    1 Aug 2026

    Arrive 09:00Depart 20:00

    Snow-white buildings pop in blinding contrast to the cerulean blue of the Aegean in Katapola, where fishermen sip raki in waterside tavernas, and the perfume of citrus drifts down cobbled streets. Hike between sleepy Cycladic villages and Mycenaean ruins as wild goats graze on sun-baked hillsides and stop to explore pretty chapels where locals tell tales of Greek myths and legends. Below the waves, rainbow-coloured marine life darts through crystalline waters punctuated by sea caves and rusting wrecks. Succumb to sunset in charming Chora, the island capital of Amorgos.

    Day 14 ·Mykonos, Greece

    2 Aug 2026

    Arrive 08:00Depart 22:00

    If you start early, you’ll have Mykonos to yourself. Stroll narrow streets famous for Cycladic architecture and getting lost; white-washed cubed buildings, alluring boutiques, orthodox churches and traditional windmills. Join glitterati guests at elegant events on iconic beaches, sink into saltwater pools, tour vineyards and dance at bars where beats evolve in tempo (and volume). When the heat of the day dies down, drop into the sacred isle of Delos to explore remarkable ruins; amphitheatres, temples, public squares, marketplaces and shrines to Greek Gods. Take a table in central Chora for perfectly-cooked, local dishes with generous views; mounds of flaky filo, Greek salads, halloumi and sea urchin, washed down with freddo. When the sun sets, head for a signature sundowner with views across the ocean. After dark, follow the fun to legendary bars and clubs. Progressive and profoundly beautiful.
