Day 1

Welcome to Greece

Yassou, and welcome to Athens — the historic gateway to Mythical Greece!

Upon arrival at Athens International Airport, your personal English-speaking driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name. You’ll be transferred in comfort to your handpicked boutique hotel for a restful start to your journey.

Take the rest of the day at leisure — perhaps stroll through the charming streets of Plaka, enjoy a rooftop view of the Acropolis with a chilled glass of Assyrtiko, or simply unwind after your flight.

2 nights in Athens – stay in the hotel standard you choose

Athens City, sunlight, sunrise, private guided trips. Greece essentials

Day 2

Athens: Where Legends Were Born

Today, Athens reveals her legendary past. Your private guide will meet you at the hotel to begin an inspiring walking and driving tour through the beating heart of the ancient world.

Step onto the sacred hill of the Acropolis, pass under the grand Propylaea, marvel at the Temple of Athena Nike and be moved by the sheer majesty of the Parthenon. The views are as unforgettable as the stories.

Onwards past the Parliament and former Royal Palace, your journey takes in Constitution Square, the towering Temple of Olympian Zeus, and the awe-inspiring Panathenaic Stadium — where the modern Olympic spirit was reborn in 1896.

🍽️ Comfort guests enjoy a curated local lunch stop with flexible dining.
🍷 Deluxe & Indulgence guests are treated to a signature lunch showcasing Greek flavours in an elegant setting.

Finish the day with scenic stops including Hadrian’s Arch, the Academy, and the National Library before returning to your hotel.

Breakfast included (Lunch included for Deluxe & Indulgence guests)

Athens Street

Day 3

Athens at Your Leisure

Take the day at your own pace. Revisit your favourite spot from yesterday’s tour, lose yourself in the narrow streets of Anafiotika, or sip Greek coffee slowly on a shaded café terrace.

If you’re craving more, your local trip coordinator can arrange a visit to the Acropolis Museum, a food walking tour, or a sunset cocktail with a view of Lycabettus Hill.

Breakfast included

Cameo Island

Day 4

Island Bound: Athens to Zakynthos

After a leisurely breakfast, your driver will take you west across the Peloponnese to the port of Kyllini. From there, enjoy a relaxed ferry ride to Zakynthos — a lush Ionian island famed for its dramatic coastline, hidden coves, and warm-hearted locals.

On arrival, your local driver will greet you and transfer you to your boutique accommodation. Settle in and breathe deeply — the island pace has officially begun.

Breakfast included
3 nights in Zakynthos – stay in the hotel standard you choose

Navagio

Day 5

A Slice of Paradise: The Blue Caves & Shipwreck Bay

Zakynthos is yours to discover. For Comfort travellers, this is a day to design your own adventure — from beach hopping and scooter rides to a lazy lunch beside the sea.

For Deluxe and Indulgence guests, today is the trip’s sparkling highlight:
Board a private boat charter and set off across crystal-clear waters to Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Bay), one of the most photographed beaches in the world. Carved into the cliffs, this cove’s allure is otherworldly.

Then cruise to the Blue Caves, where sunlight dances through the water and the sea glows in mesmerising shades of cobalt. Swim in hidden lagoons and soak up the sense of freedom only the sea can give.

Light refreshments and drinks are served aboard for Deluxe & Indulgence guests.

Breakfast Included

Sea Turtle

Day 6

Slow Travel, Zakynthian Style

Whether you choose to sunbathe, snorkel, sip cocktails, or discover the island’s more rustic mountain villages, today is yours.

We’ll be ready with tailored tips if you’d like to taste organic olive oil from a family estate, join a small-group cooking class, or visit a tiny monastery tucked into the hills. Or simply do what Zakynthos does best — slow down and savour life.

Breakfast included.

Day 7

Return to Athens

This morning, enjoy your final moments on the island before your transfer to Zakynthos Airport for the short flight back to Athens.

You’ll be met at the terminal and taken to your nearby hotel — the ideal retreat before your departure tomorrow. Toast your final evening with a farewell ouzo or simply relax after a full and unforgettable journey.

Breakfast Included
1 night near Athens Airport – stay in the hotel standard you choose

Day 8

Until Next Time, Greece

Depending on your flight time, you may have time for one final coffee before your driver whisks you back to the terminal.

This journey through Mythical Greece may be coming to a close, but the memories of ancient wonders and sparkling shores will stay with you long after you’ve unpacked your bags.

Breakfast included

We thank Click And Trip for the superb organisation of our trip to India and for the great recommendations of hotels, tour guides and sight-seeing activities in every destination. We would unhesitatingly book again with Click And Trip – the organisation and planning by them was faultless. Click And Trip's travel consultants were some of the very best we have ever worked with – knowledgeable, friendly, highly efficient and reliable, and so client-focussed. Nothing we requested was ever a trouble!

We had the most incredible experience with Click and Trip for our Vietnam and Cambodia holiday. They were so helpful pre-departure customising and adding extras we requested to our itinerary. As well as helping us organise our visas for our destinations. All our guides were so friendly and welcoming and made the whole experience so effortless and enjoyable. The activities were amazing and so diverse in each city and our accomodation in Cambodia was a real stand out. I can not recommend Click and Trip more highly and there offering in the travel market is truely unlike anything I have seen. Book with them, you will not regret it.

Well, thats New York done and dusted !!.What a fabulous time we had. I wanted to email you to thank especially Rosie,Holly and the clickandtrip team for your organisation of our trip. It exceeded our expectations and I will be telling anyone who listens or asks to use your company and yourself. The details and instructions regarding the travelling details were clear and concise. The transfers from flights to drivers to and from airport/hotel seemless. I cannot thank you enough. Your response to any questions was prompt and clear ( and I had a lot of questions). Thank you all for a wonderful holiday we will remember forever. Kind regards Susan Hocken

Nyssa at Click and Trip was super helpful and knowledgeable. I gave her an overview of what my wife and I were looking to do in a 5 week trip around Australia and she compiled an intenerary that accomplished that, but also had a plethora of suggestions of places to see and activities that I would never have known. We also had to change our plans towards the end of our trip and she was able to sort that out hassle free for me. I have already given her details to friends and family that are thinking of touring Oz and I will not hesitate to use Click and Trip again for any trips to other destinations that may take my fancy in the future.

I recently went o Bali with a group of friends and we had the best time! From exploring stunning temples and lush rice terraces to thrilling ATV rides through the countryside, every day was a new adventure. Highlights included visiting the Ubud Monkey Forest, ATV’s, Elephant Sanctuary and the adrenaline of swinging over rice terraces. What made this trip extra special was our local guides which allowed us to really enjoy our time together as a group. We shared laughs, stories, and unforgettable moments that will last a lifetime. From the beginning working with Nyssa was very easy and k always appreciate her quick responses. I look forward to future trips. Highly recommend!

🌸✨ Just returned from our 2nd unforgettable trip with Click and Trip - a 2 week adventure through Japan. From the serene Meiji Shrine to the bustling Shibuya Crossing, the magical Teamlab Borderless, thrilling Tokyo Street Go Carting, and the enchanting Disneysea 🌊🎢, every moment was meticulously planned. We explored traditional gems like Takayama and Shirakawa-go 🏯, marvelled at Kenroku-en garden's beauty 🌿, and indulged in Wagyu at Bungo Gion 🥩. Kyoto's Fushimi Inari Shrine and the serene Kiyomizu-dera temple were highlights, as was dressing up in a kimono and strolling through Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka Streets 👘🌸. Click and Trip took care of everything – from tickets 🎫, transfers 🚕, luxury hotels 🏨, to private guides 🗺️. They even helped us avoid the crowds with their insider tips and perfect itineraries. The Japan Explorer package was a dream, especially the stay in a traditional Ryokan in Takayama, offering Kyoto’s charm minus the crowds 🏡✨. For a seamless, crowd-free, and unforgettable Japan experience, I can't recommend Click and Trip enough! 🌟

We had a fantastic trip to Vietnam with Click & Trip; I can't recommend this service highly enough, it takes the stress out of booking and planning a trip, and ensures you are locked into the best tours, hotels and transport for your time away (so you don't have to worry about getting dates and times right or booking an Air BnB that doesn't exist). It feels like a much more bespoke experience than previous travel agencies I've used, so if you get the chance to use them for your next trip, definitely do!

Your Questions Answered

This isn’t a coach tour ticking off temples. Mythical Greece is a private journey designed to immerse you in the heart of ancient Athens and the soul-soothing beauty of Zakynthos. From walking beside the Parthenon with your private guide to gliding across turquoise waters to Shipwreck Beach, it’s an experience that’s personal, seamless, and anything but ordinary.

You’ll fly into Athens International Airport (ATH), the gateway to your Mythical Greece adventure. Major airlines flying from Australia with one connection include Qatar Airways, Emirates, Singapore Airlines, and Etihad. Prefer to use points or start from elsewhere? No problem — we’ll help you choose a flight that fits your timeline and travel style.

Absolutely. This itinerary was crafted with first-timers in mind. You’ll see Greece’s most iconic sights — like the Acropolis and Parthenon — without the stress of group travel. With a mix of guided exploration and free time to wander at your own pace, it’s the perfect introduction to Greece’s ancient wonders and relaxed island culture.

Yes, and we’ve designed it to feel completely comfortable. As a solo traveller, you’ll have private guides, door-to-door transport, and full local support throughout. Whether you’re watching the sun dip into the Ionian Sea or learning the history of the Acropolis one-on-one, the journey is as safe and enriching as it is unforgettable. A solo supplement applies.

We believe the best travel moments often come unscripted. While your days in Athens include guided highlights, you’ll also have space to linger over a coffee in Plaka or discover a local bakery tucked down a backstreet. Zakynthos, in particular, invites a slower pace — with free days to swim, explore or simply soak in the scenery.

Definitely. Couples love the balance of cultural depth and dreamy coastal downtime. Families enjoy the flexibility of private transfers, optional slower mornings, and stays tailored to comfort and space. Whether you’re travelling as two or bringing the whole crew, Mythical Greece adapts to you.

We partner with boutique hotels that reflect the charm and character of each location — from stylish city stays near Syntagma Square to peaceful island retreats in Zakynthos. Choose your preferred level of comfort:

  • Comfort: Well-located, stylish, 3–4 star

  • Deluxe: Chic design, elevated extras

  • Indulgence: Luxe properties with standout service and ambience

Not at all. Your domestic flight from Zakynthos back to Athens and the scenic ferry from the mainland to the island are both included in your package. We handle all the connections so you can simply enjoy the journey — no juggling tickets, terminals, or transport schedules.

This trip is ideal for curious souls who want to experience the best of Greece without crowds or compromise. It’s for those who value history but don’t want to spend their whole trip in museums — who love the idea of a wine at sunset by the sea just as much as standing on the steps of the Parthenon. If you want culture and calm in equal measure, you’ve found your fit.

Absolutely. Every Mythical Greece journey with Click and Trip begins with a conversation — not a checkout cart. Click the “Tailor This Trip” button at the top of the page to reach out in the way that suits you best.

Call our Brisbane-based team on 1300 833 149, email us at contact@clickandtrip.com.au, start a live chat, or submit a quick enquiry form. From adjusting hotel levels to adding an extra night by the sea, we’ll help you shape your journey until it’s just right.

We believe extraordinary trips start with a personal touch. This one’s no exception.
