Your Ultimate 7-Day Adventure in Greece Itinerary
Greece is a place that offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and natural beauty that captivates travelers from around the globe.
From ancient ruins and charming villages to stunning beaches and breathtaking landscapes, there’s something for everyone to discover in this magical country.
If you’re considering Greece as your next getaway destination, we’ve crafted a 7-day itinerary to ensure you make the most of your trip from the moment you arrive until your very last day in this captivating country.
Day 1: Arrival – Welcome to Greece
The first thing you should do after a long flight is to check into your cozy accommodation and get some rest.
Whether you’ve opted for a charming boutique hotel or a luxurious resort, make yourself at home and take some time to relax. If you’re arriving in the morning after a red eye flight, if possible, book your hotel room for the previous evening so you can check in immediately and take a nap. This is a game changer when traveling with kids.
My favorite places to stay are the Electra Metropolis Hotel or the Hyatt Place Athens. Once you’ve settled in, why not stroll around the Plaka neighborhood? (also known as the “Neighborhood of the Gods”). This section of the city feels more like a tiny Greek village, and most of the streets are closed to automobile traffic. Shop, enjoy your first delicious meal of Greek cuisine, and take in the breathtaking beauty of this neighborhood.
This charming area at the base of the Acropolis is the perfect place to get a taste of Athenian life where you can lose yourself in the labyrinthine streets lined with colorful buildings, quaint cafes, and artisan shops.
Day 2: Athens – A City of Legends
Your day will begin with an immersive Athens Mythology Tour, where you’ll uncover the legends and stories that have shaped this iconic city.
A knowledgeable guide will send you back in time to ancient Greece as you visit key landmarks and archaeological sites, such as the iconic Acropolis, home to the Parthenon, and the Ancient Agora to get valuable insight into the culture of ancient and modern Greece.
During the evening, you can wander through the charming streets of Plaka, where you will enjoy delicious Greek cuisine at a local tavern and immerse yourself in a relaxed atmosphere.
Day 3: Olympic Games Workout & Food Tour/ Cooking Class in Athens
You’ll channel your inner Olympian with a 2-hour workout held inside the Panathenaic Stadium, led by an instructor, where you’ll perform exercises inspired by the ancient athletes who competed in the original Olympic Games.
This will get you in the spirit of competition and you’ll embrace the athleticism of the ancient Greeks.
Then, after working up an appetite, you can explore the Greek capital’s culinary landscape and sample traditional Greek dishes and delicacies at local markets, eateries, and tavernas by booking a traditional food tour.
And if you’re interested in mastering the art of Greek cuisine and taking home recipes to recreate the flavors of Greece in your own kitchen, you can even opt for a cooking class in Athens where you’ll learn how to prepare classic Greek recipes under the guidance of a skilled chef.
Day 5: Sun, Sand, and Sailing – A Day of Bliss on Mykonos
Today you’ll be heading to Platys Gialos, one of Mykonos’ most popular and picturesque beaches that offers vibrant beach bars, water sports activities, and a lively atmosphere so you can feel the warm sun on your skin and take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters.
As the sun begins to hide under the shining sea, you will embark on a magical sunset sail around the island of Mykonos to watch the beautiful colors in the sky as you feel the gentle sea breeze on your face.
Today is the day for the perfect blend of relaxation and excitement.
Day 6: Delphi – The Navel of the World
Get ready to explore the ancient wonders of Delphi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site steeped in history, mythology, and mystery.
You’ll discover the archaeological site, perhaps visit the Temple of Apollo, and marvel at the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, so you can immerse yourself in the mystical atmosphere of this sacred place.
Day 7: Departure Day – Farewell to Greece
This is the day of the bittersweet moment of departure.
Take your time to ensure that you haven’t left anything behind and double-check your travel documents and itinerary.
Once you’re packed and ready to go, it’s time to say goodbye to the enchanting land of Greece.
