Day 2
Athens
Stavros Niarchos Cultural Center
You start with a mythology-themed tour this morning. You leave in a small group with an English-speaking guide. In the afternoon, you’ll discover the new Stavros Niarchos Cultural Center. The surrounding park offers a wealth of opportunities for strolling, leisure and relaxation. This Mediterranean garden, with its lush landscape, wide variety of trees and plants, fountains, labyrinth and playgrounds, is a breath of fresh air for Athens. It offers a little respite in an ultra-urbanized environment. With an impressive palette of plants, each month brings a new color and each season introduces a different combination of flowers and foliage.
This park is very popular with Athenians. They come here for exercise, to attend concerts and outdoor events, and for Sunday picnics. It’s ideal for a stroll with the kids, who can ride their bikes or scooters along the paths, or play in the specially designed play areas. In this Mediterranean garden, horizontal paths lead gently upwards to the “lighthouse”, a 900m² glass space. Without even realizing it, you’re walking on the roof of the Library and Opera House.
Ideal for getting away from the crowds.

Days 4, 5 & 6
Naxos
Naxos
This Greek island is a concentration of the best the Cyclades have to offer. Typical Cycladic architecture is one of the island’s highlights. Naxos is the epitome of Greece! A former Venetian colony, Naxos is home to buildings from the neo-classical period that can be found today in southern Italy and Corsica. It’s this mix of styles that makes the island so unique and magnificent. When you arrive in Naxos, don’t miss the huge Gate of Apollo, a superb ancient vestige.
It’s also here that you’ll have plenty of time to sample Greek gastronomy! If you wish, you can also hire a babysitter.

On day 7, you take the ferry from Naxos at 9:30 am for a quick 45-minute crossing, arriving on the island of Paros at 10:15 am. Paros has all the scenery you’d expect to find in the Cyclades. As in Naxos, most of the houses are white and blue, offering a magical panorama! As you move away from the towns, you’ll discover hilly landscapes with immense vineyards and olive groves. Last but not least, Paros also boasts magnificent beaches where you and your family can relax.
A wonderful way to round off a trip to the Cyclades!
In Paros, your hotel is family-friendly, with a playground ideal for young children. The beach is close to the hotel, where you can rent a beach umbrella and hire a babysitter for the day.
On day 9, your driver will meet you at the hotel to take you to the port for the 10:30 a.m. ferry to Athens for a 4-hour crossing. (Alternatively, you can opt for a direct Paros-Athens flight before resuming your international flight. This saves you the 10th day in Athens).
