Day 1

Welcome to Greece

Yassou, and welcome to Athens — the timeless heart of Greece!

Your Greek adventure begins the moment you step off the plane at Athens International Airport. Waiting in the arrivals hall, your private English-speaking driver will greet you warmly, holding a sign with your name, ready to whisk you through the city in comfort.

Settle into your handpicked boutique hotel, chosen for its character, location, and style. The rest of the day is yours — perhaps wander through the cobbled lanes of Plaka beneath the glow of the Acropolis, sip thick Greek coffee at a pavement café, or enjoy your first taste of moussaka and fresh seafood in a lively taverna as the city hums around you.

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

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

Day 2

Icons of Ancient Athens

After breakfast, meet your private English-speaking guide for a deep dive into Athens’ greatest treasures. Step onto the Acropolis, where marble temples crown the city’s skyline — the Propylaea, the elegant Temple of Athena Nike, and the magnificent Parthenon, still standing proud after 2,500 years.

Wander past Hadrian’s Arch and the grand Temple of Olympian Zeus, then pause at the Panathenaic Stadium — birthplace of the modern Olympic Games. Your journey continues through Constitution Square, past the Parliament and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, before glimpsing the Academy and National Library.

Comfort travellers will have time to enjoy a leisurely lunch at a charming local eatery. Deluxe and Indulgence guests will be treated to an exclusive dining experience featuring seasonal Greek dishes crafted from the freshest ingredients.

Breakfast included

Day 3

Sailing the Aegean to Santorini

This morning, your driver will take you to Piraeus port to board your ferry bound for Santorini — Comfort in economy, Deluxe in business, and Indulgence in platinum seating. As the boat glides across the sparkling Aegean, watch the blue horizon stretch endlessly before you.

Arriving in Santorini, you’ll be met for your private transfer to your boutique hotel. The rest of the day is at leisure — perhaps take a sunset stroll through Oia’s whitewashed alleys, where the sky melts from gold to rose over the caldera.

Breakfast included
2 nights in Santorini – stay in the hotel standard you choose

Day 4

Santorini at Your Leisure

Today is yours to explore Santorini’s beauty at your own pace. Wander through Fira’s boutique-lined streets, explore the Bronze Age ruins of Akrotiri, or relax on the island’s striking Red and Black beaches.

Don’t miss the evening spectacle — as the sun sinks into the Aegean, the island glows in shades of amber and crimson, a moment that lingers long after the last light fades.

Indulgence guests will enjoy a private three-course beachfront dinner on one evening during their stay, accompanied by the sound of gentle waves and the scent of the sea breeze.

Breakfast included

Crete, Greece Essentials, private guided holidays

Day 5

Journey to Crete

After breakfast, transfer to the port for your ferry to Crete. Comfort travellers enjoy economy seating, Deluxe travel in business class, and Indulgence in platinum.

On arrival, your driver will escort you to your hotel. Take the afternoon to relax — perhaps a swim in the pool, or a stroll through a nearby seaside village as the scent of grilled octopus drifts from the tavernas.

Breakfast included
4 nights in Crete – stay in the hotel standard you choose

Crete beach, luxury, relaxing, Europe stays

Days 6-8

Sun-Kissed Days and Timeless Crete

Spend the next three days embracing Crete’s endless possibilities. Discover ancient legends at the Palace of Knossos, hike the dramatic Samaria Gorge, or wander through Venetian harbours lined with pastel-coloured houses. Swim in turquoise coves, sip raki with locals in a mountain village, or browse bustling markets for fragrant herbs and handmade olive oil soaps.

Your private guide and driver can recommend hidden spots that make Crete unforgettable — whether that’s a family-run taverna perched above the sea, or a quiet beach where you can watch fishing boats bob in the sun.

Breakfast included

Day 9

Return to Athens: Farewell to the Islands

Enjoy a relaxed breakfast before your private transfer to Heraklion airport for your flight to Athens. Your driver will meet you on arrival for the short journey to your airport hotel, leaving you time to rest or enjoy one final stroll through the city’s lively streets.

Breakfast included
1 night in Athens – stay in the hotel standard you choose

Day 10

Until We Meet Again, Greece

Savour your final Greek breakfast before heading to the airport for your onward flight. Most services to Australia arrive the following morning. As you board, take with you the warmth of Greek hospitality and the lasting memories of your Sunsets and Seas of Greece journey.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 🌸✨ 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! 🌟

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!
