We'll have 4 nights to our leisure where the group is independent to do anything they wish. Mykonos is a grand example of the unique Cycladic architecture. Totally whitewashed organic cube-like buildings fit closely together to form a kind of a maze of narrow alleyways and streets. Its many well preserved windmills and hundreds of tiny red-roofed churches add a flavor of culture and custom to the scene. Historical sights such as nearby Delos & beautiful beaches such as Elia beach, Paradise & Super Paradise are a must see. Pure relaxation or for those seeking night life, great shopping and stylish cafes are just a few areas for you to discover...

Upon arrival a private hired driver will take us from the port to the hotel located on the edge of the cliff in Fira Town. We will have 3 full days to explore Santorini, famous for its Caldera View & the white washed houses perched on the edge of the cliff. Visit the Boutari winery, Greece's best known wine export, or visit the active volcano or archaeological museum. Be daring to ride one of the donkeys as part of the native charm of the island.
