Itinerary

Day 1Hills of Athens - Welcome dinner

Our first “Aegean Active Wellness Retreat” day is dedicated to Athens!
Acropolis, apart from being the city’s higher point, it was also surrounded by hills that offered protection: Pnyka hill, Areopagus (Mars hill), Philopappou hill and of course Lycabettus. Each one had their own role in ancient times and a story starting as a myth, continuing nowadays. Today we will walk from one hill to another, exploring Athens in a unique way, embracing its vibe and charm along the way. In the evening welcome dinner at an amazing rooftop restaurant.
Overnight in Athens (L,D)
* Depending on the time of your arrival, the Hills of Athens tour can be skipped today and implemented on day 7 or 8. In that case we can make a short walking tour of the historic Plaka and enjoy our welcome dinner!

Day 2Acropolis, Parthenon and Acropolis Museum - Athens Sea Kayak Sunset Tour

The majestic Parthenon, the Propylaia gateway and Temple of Athena Nike await you today at the top of Acropolis for a professional guided tour! Afterwards we will expand our knowledge in the new Acropolis museum, a super-modern, glass-walled building set at the footsteps of the ancient Acropolis. Its beautiful terrace is an ideal place for our lunch, before we depart from Athens towards Cape Sounio, where we will have the opportunity to experience an amazing Sea Kayaking activity that will take us to the temple of Poseidon, where we will witness a breathtaking sunset!

Recommended Gear

Please consider taking along the following items on your trip. This is not a fixed list, but more of a guideline, so feel free to add and remove items as you see fit. Greece has a temperate climate. Base your clothing on the “layering system”, if it is hot you can “peel off” layers quickly, if it is cooler and windy you can quickly “dress up”.
