3 bedrooms with 2 twin beds, comfortably sleeping 12 guests. Washer, Dryer and Wireless Internet are

at the port of Piraeus in

Athens, where we will take a

breathtaking ferry ride

across the Aegean to the

majestic island of Sifnos. We’ll

check into our spectacular

Villa and then perhaps explore

the nearby village of

Kamares, featuring one of the

best beaches in all of Greece.

There, we’ll have lunch at Captain

Andrea’s Fish Taverna

head back to the Villa for a siesta

and reconvene later that night on

Saturday: We will journey

across the Aegean

in a private

speedboat to the

sacred island of

Delos, one of the

world’s most

important

archaeological

sites. As the

mythological birth-

place of Apollo, the god of poetry and light, and his twin sister Artemis,

goddess of the moon and the hunt, Delos was the most sacred place of

worship in ancient Greece. Currently uninhabited, but with signs of

civilization dating as far back as 2500 BCE, we will see firsthand many

famous monuments, including The Sanctuary of Apollo, The Terrace

of the Lions, The House of the Dolphins, The Sanctuary of Dionysus,

The Temple of Isis, The

Temple of Hera, The

House of Hermes and The

House of Cleopatra. In

addition to the multitude of

ancient dwellings,

sanctuaries, amphitheaters,

spectacular views and

cisterns there is also a

museum with many of the

most important statues and other

archaeological finds in all

of Greece. Afterwards, we’ll return

to the Villa to reflect upon the day’s

impressive monuments and enjoy

more of the island’s amazing

cuisine. That night, we’ll dine at

one of the island’s best

restaurants, Absinthe (optional), remembering, of course, to pour a

libation to Dionysus!

Sunday: We’ll visit

Platis Gialos, home

to one of the longest

beaches of the

Cyclades and an

excellent place for

swimming or relax-

ing. The town is

known for its great

shops featuring

traditional Greek artisans, ceramics galleries, open pottery workshops and jewelers doing

innovative work. We’ll have lunch on the beach at the Cyclades Restaurant,

where celebrated chef Nikos Venakis uses purely local ingredients to make

traditional recipes such as revithia (a delicious

chickpea stew), revithokefthedes (a Sifniot

falafel), and Greek salads made with fresh

mizithra and capers (optional). After lunch,

we’ll take a leisurely walk through the olive

groves and intoxicating oregano and thyme

patches,

passing by

dovecotes

and wind-

mills on our

way to

Panagia

Chrissopigi, a double-vaulted church on a

tiny islet. After a beautiful day in Platis

Gialos, we will saunter back to the Villa and

spend a relaxing evening enjoying a

traditional 4-course Greek feast prepared

by local chefs, as well as a wine tasting of

local Greek wines (included).

Serifos

Monday: Today we will take a short boat ride to the nearby island of

Serifos. Considered one of the most enchanting and unpretentious of the

Cycladic islands, Serifos is a charming island with quaint villages, peaceful

harbors and beautiful natural landscapes. The island is noted for its

mythological connection to both Perseus and Odysseus. We’ll have a

chance to visit The White Tower, a Hellenistic marble watchtower, as well as

The Throne of the Cyclops, a strange megalithic structure overlooking the

Aegean. At the Chora, a picturesque settlement offering spectacular views,

we can visit the ruins of a

Castle. From there, we’ll
