- Athens - Mykonos - Santorini- Crete
Athens and the Greek Islands Tour is fascinating. The trip ran as exactly as described except for a late transfer in Mykonos. It was our first trip with Eskapas but won't be the last one for sure. The islands were absolutely gorgeous and the hotels were nice too. We had a rental car for Crete and driving is a nice experience through Cretan villages and incredible beaches. There's so much rich history in GREECE , beautiful landscapes and very nice people. I and my wife loved it!!!! and you will absolutely love it!!
