Greece Long Stay 2026

Discover the perfect blend of ancient history and island life on this immersive three-week journey through Greece. Begin with two nights in Athens, where you can explore the iconic Acropolis, wander through the charming Plaka neighborhood, and savor authentic souvlaki in the shadow of ancient ruins.
Fly across the Aegean to Crete for a week in Heraklion, the island’s vibrant capital. Delve into Minoan civilization at the Palace of Knossos, sample local wines in nearby villages, and enjoy fresh seafood along the old Venetian harbor.
Continue your odyssey with ten leisurely nights in Chania, Crete’s most picturesque town. Lose yourself in the enchanting Old Town’s labyrinthine streets, relax on stunning beaches from Balos to Elafonissi, hike the dramatic Samaria Gorge, and unwind with sunset views over the iconic lighthouse. Head back to Athens for one last night before going home.
