Greece & Egypt Highlights

Welcome to Athens! On arrival, a private transfer service will meet you in the arrival hall of Athens Airport and take you to the hotel in the city center. You are then free at leisure to settle in, relax and begin discovering Athens at your own pace.

• Please note your preferred option when making your request. If no preference is indicated, we will automatically include the standard group coach tour. Other experiences can also be arranged, including wine tasting and foodie tours.

The afternoon and evening are free for you to continue exploring Athens at your own pace..

This morning, transfer to the port for a high-speed ferry (flights are also available) to the cosmopolitan island of Mykonos. On arrival, transfer to the hotel with the remainder of the afternoon & evening free to stroll through Mykonos Town or relax beside the sea.

The island is yours to enjoy as you wish. Explore the cobbled lanes of Mykonos Town (Chora), spend time at one or more of its beaches, take a day trip to the nearby island of Delos, and enjoy Little Paradise with its bars, restaurants and famous nightlife.

Today transfer to the port for departure on a fast ferry from Mykonos to Santorini. On arrival, transfer to the hotel, after which you have the afternoon and evening free to settle in and explore your surroundings. Evening enjoy the sunset for which the island is world-famous.

• Important Note: The ferry service between Mykonos and Santorini does NOT operate during the winter season (November–March). During winter months, you can either choose to exclude Mykonos from your itinerary or, if you would like to experience both islands, we would then arrange to use a domestic flight VIA Athens for this connection.

Today is yours to experience the island according to your interests. Wander through picturesque villages, explore local museums, or follow the scenic clifftop walking trail between Fira and Oia, with panoramic views across the volcanic caldera.

Travel Tip: For a different perspective of Santorini, consider a 5-hour semi-private catamaran cruise. Depending on your preferred departure, sail during the day (10:00–15:00) or at sunset (15:00–20:00), with opportunities to swim near White Beach, explore hidden caves and cruise past the volcanic islands of Nea Kameni and Palea Kameni. Alternatively, we can arrange a private or semi-private land-based island tour incorporating highlights such as Akrotiri Archaeological Site, the Blue Dome Church of Firostefani, Megalochori Village, Prophet Elias, Oia, or even a local winery. If either experience interests you, simply mention it when making your request.

Your Greek island experience comes to an end with a transfer to Santorini Airport and a flight to Cairo. On arrival, meet in the immigration area for assistance through airport formalities, then a private transfer to the hotel. The evening is free at leisure to get settled in. 

Transfer to Cairo Airport for a morning flight to Aswan. Upon arrival, board the Nile cruise vessel that will be your home for 03 nights as you along the Nile from Aswan to Luxor. Embarkation before lunch. Later, accompanied by your private cruise guide, visit two of Aswan’s highlights: the impressive Aswan High Dam and the beautiful Philae Temple.

Continue your journey along the Nile as the vessel cruises towards Kom Ombo. Here, visit the fascinating Temple of Sobek and Haroeris, an unusual complex dedicated to two different deities. Then sail onward to Edfu, where explore the magnificent Temple of Horus. One of the largest and best-preserved temples in Egypt, it offers a wonderful insight into ancient Egyptian history while also reflecting the architectural influence of the Greek period.

Travel Tip: Thinking about adding Abu Simbel to your Egypt journey? While it does mean a very early morning start from Aswan (before sunrise), the opportunity to stand before these magnificent temples is an experience well worth the effort. The drive from Aswan to Abu Simbel is approx. 3.5-hours each way, and the guided visit of the site lasts for approx. 2-hours. If you wish to add Abu Simbel please mention this when making your enquiry.

Today, accompanied by your private Cairo guide, continue your exploration of Egypt’s extraordinary heritage with a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). Discover an exceptional collection spanning thousands of years of Egyptian history before continuing into historic Cairo. Also visit the Citadel of Saladin and its impressive Alabaster Mosque, along with the tomb of Ottoman ruler Mohamed Ali. Your day concludes in the atmospheric Khan El-Khalili Bazaar, one of Cairo’s most historic marketplaces.

Sadly, your Egyptian adventure has come to an end. Per your international flight departure time, a private transfer will collect you from your hotel and take you to Cairo Airport.
