Harry's Greece Travel Itinerary 3 ~ the Phoenician Pirates
8 Day Athens - Mykonos - Delos - Santorini ~ The Phoenician Pirates
Our 8 day Athens and Cyclades islands itinerary easily allows you to make all connections and arrive in Athens when schedule permits knowing that a central Athens 2 star superior hotel accommodation is ready and waiting for you. The following morning, the minimum time in Athens required to visit the must see Acropolis and Parthenon is spent. Those bare minimum of Athens most famous sites seen, and souvenirs priced, at 2:45 in the afternoon of your second day in Greece you'll set off to board your first ferry to the Greek islands.
An interesting and leisurely 5.5 hour Greek islands ferry boat voyage to Mykonos, with short stops likely, at other Cyclades island on the way, and where you'll still have an hour of the hot Greek sun left to check into your hotel and get your bearings, or even do some late afternoon shopping because Mykonos hardly ever closes, even at night. You'll have 3 nights to explore Mykonos' world class bars, cafes, clubs, discos, restaurants and stores and 3 days to work on your tan on its many sandy beaches.
Ancient Delos, birth place of Apollo and Artemis, is just offshore and you wont want to miss the guided tour of this, the ancient center of the Cyclades. Getting there in a smaller Kiaki type boat will be one of the highlights of your visit to the Greek Islands too. On the 5th day you sail off to Santorini (5 hrs) in the afternoon from where you will enjoy a one of Greece's natural wonders and one of the top 20 most popular islands in the world.
After two more days of sun and history filled activity on Santorini such as ancient Acrotiri, you'll depart for Athens and and the next day be ready to continue your journey home wards perhaps.
Santorini has too much to say for its self to be in the scope of this itinerary but this island and this one alone is the place where a caldera view (cliff/crater view) room, or hotel will make your vacation much different from the other guys! Its worth the extra money and will be the high point of your trip to Greece (no pun intended)! These accommodations afford a good place to 'pop the question too' if its romance you are after!

Dear All: First of all thanks for your prompt reply. I find your quotation very reasonable, so I´m positive we will use your services. However I would like to ask you to quote me the same tour with four star hotels also. If the difference is not to big, we would probably use those ones. All I´m waiting for is your information in order to make our decision. If you send me the new quotation I will book the tour by Monday.
