Today, you will enjoy a delightful breakfast and prepare for a wonderful day as you discover the city of Athens and its fascinating blend of history and modernity.

During the panoramic tour, you will admire the Athenian Trilogy (National Library, University, and Academy of Athens), the Presidential Mansion, the Panathenaic Stadium (Kallimarmaro), where the first modern Olympic Games were held, the Zappeion, the majestic Temple of Olympian Zeus, which for centuries was one of the largest temples in Greece, and Hadrian’s Arch, built in honor of the Roman emperor.

The itinerary includes a visit to the Acropolis, symbol of the classical world and home to the Parthenon, a masterpiece of Greek architecture; the Erechtheion, with its famous Caryatids; and the Temple of Athena Nike, dedicated to the goddess of victory. You will admire the history and legends surrounding these monuments while enjoying panoramic views of Athens from the hill.

The tour concludes at a central point in the city, ideal for continuing to explore Athens at your own pace. Later, you will head at your own rhythm to Monastiraki to join the “Athens by Night” tour, enjoying a walking tour through Plaka and Anafiotika, admiring the illuminated Acropolis, and passing by iconic sites such as Athens Cathedral and Ermou Street, while discovering how the city comes alive under the moonlight.

Greca Tip: At the Acropolis, mythology, architecture, and unique Athens panoramas come together. See how the Parthenon has inspired architects for over two thousand years and discover the stories of the ancient gods and heroes who dwell in these monuments.

Today, you have the opportunity to enjoy a free day in Athens, allowing you to explore the city at your own pace. Alternatively, if you're in the mood for an enchanting experience, you can opt for a captivating one-day cruise to three stunning islands nestled in the picturesque Saronic Gulf.

On the one hand, if you choose to embark on the full-day cruise, you will be conveniently transferred to the port, where your adventure begins. The itinerary includes visits to three remarkable islands: Aegina, renowned for its delightful assortment of pistachios; Poros, celebrated for its scenic beauty; and Hydra, the greenest among these islands, boasting elegant stone mansions, a tranquil atmosphere, and car-free streets.

On board the ship, you can indulge in a delectable lunch accompanied by traditional Greek music and dance. At the end of the day, you will be comfortably transferred back to your hotel, ensuring a seamless experience.

On the other hand, if you decide to spend the day in Athens, you will have the freedom to explore the city's rich history, vibrant culture, and iconic landmarks at your own leisurely pace.

Greca Tip: You can add the cruise during step 1/3 while booking. If you do, make sure to try the different varieties of pistachio nuts grown on the famous island of Aegina!

After enjoying a delicious breakfast, you will have a free day to explore the city of Athens at your leisure. Take the opportunity to visit the city's renowned attractions, immerse yourself in its rich history by exploring museums and archaeological sites, and wander through the charming alleys of the historic city center.

Alternatively, if you wish to venture beyond Athens, you have the option to spend a day (or even several days) exploring the Peloponnese peninsula or visiting Delphi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Greca Tip: If you prefer to explore Athens independently without organized tours, we recommend taking the pedestrianized Apostolou Pavlou path to reach the ancient Agora and Monastiraki areas. Another option is to ascend Mount Lycabettus for breathtaking views of the city. This way, you can discover Athens at your own pace and create your unique experience.

At the designated time, you will be transferred to Athens International Airport to catch your flight to the United Arab Emirates.

Upon arrival in Dubai, a member of our English-speaking team will be waiting for you at the exit to provide assistance. He will share all the necessary details of your trip, address any questions or concerns you may have, and offer a brief introduction to the city and its daily life.

You will then be transported to your hotel in one of our private vehicles. Your assistant will assist you with the check-in process at the hotel. The remainder of the day is yours to relax and, if you wish, to begin exploring and experiencing the wonders of this incredible metropolis at your own pace.

In the morning, when the light begins to turn the city golden and after a delicious breakfast, you will feel that Dubai invites you to discover its duality: dazzling modernity and ancestral soul. After a transfer in an air-conditioned vehicle, you will arrive at The Pointe, in Palm Jumeirah, where the silhouette of the Atlantis rises like a mirage. Later, a stop at the beach will offer you the perfect view of the Burj Al Arab, that “sailboat” many locals consider a beacon of luxury.

As the day advances, the Al Farooq Mosque will welcome you with the serenity of its Istanbul-inspired tiles. Here, where up to two thousand worshippers can gather, it is said that the soft echo inside resembles the murmur of the sea a curiosity noticed only by those who pause to breathe.

Next, Old Dubai awaits you. The tour continues with a ride on an abra, the traditional water taxi that will take you to the Spice and Gold Souks, a universe of aromas, colors, and shimmering treasures. Afterwards, the visit to Al Khayma Heritage House will allow you to experience true Emirati hospitality and travel from its nomadic origins to its space-age ambitions.

At the end of the excursion, you may choose to stay in the souk or return with our transfer.

This day, you may optionally choose to join our desert safari experience in the afternoon when completing your booking.

After a serene breakfast, your morning awakens with the promise of new horizons. The road to Abu Dhabi unfolds like a bridge between modernity and tradition, while the comfort of our air-conditioned transfers guides you smoothly toward the capital.

Upon arrival, the majestic Sheikh Zayed Mosque welcomes you with its radiant white domes. Walking through its courtyards feels like entering the spiritual heart of the nation; they say its main hand-woven carpet is one of the largest in the world. Later, in the Al Bateen district, the elegance of the Royal Palaces reminds you that this city is the administrative soul of the emirate. A stroll along the Corniche, with the sea embracing the avenue, invites you to capture unforgettable views of Abu Dhabi’s skyline.

In the afternoon, the ascent to the Etihad Towers observation deck offers a breathtaking 360° panorama, as if time itself paused. A panoramic view of the Emirates Palace adds a touch of opulence before you enjoy some free time at Marina Mall.

The visit to the majestic Qasr Al Watan crowns your day with its grandeur and cultural richness. As night falls, your return to Dubai brings this experience to a graceful close.

Greca Tip: Women must cover their legs, shoulders, and hair to enter the mosque. Physical contact between men and women is not allowed inside.

After a peaceful breakfast, your morning unfolds with the gentle anticipation of what awaits. You watch the city awaken at its own rhythm as you prepare for an afternoon that will reveal the very heart of the Arabian desert.

In the afternoon, the transfer from your hotel marks the beginning of your adventure. Aboard luxurious 4x4 vehicles, you venture into a golden horizon where every dune seems to breathe ancient tales. The route leads you past small camel farms, reminding you that these animals were, for centuries, the lifeblood and pride of Bedouin caravans. You may be intrigued to learn that some camels can recognize their caretakers’ voices even after long journeys.

Dusk greets you among endless sands, where you pause to contemplate the sunset and feel that unique silence that exists only in the desert. Then, a gentle glide over the dunes guides you to the traditional camp, where you may ride a camel, try aromatic shisha, enjoy a henna tattoo, and savor an Arabian buffet dinner under the moon, accompanied by a folkloric show.

At night, the return to Dubai wraps you in serene calm.

Greca Tip: Bring a light scarf; it will be your best ally against the desert wind.

The morning begins with a breakfast full of energy, perfect to bid farewell to Dubai in style. Amid the aromas of freshly brewed coffee, fresh fruits, and international flavors, you prepare for a leisurely day where every step is your choice and every corner a delightful surprise.

After breakfast, the day opens up to endless possibilities. You might start your journey in Downtown Dubai, where contemporary elegance unfolds along wide boulevards and lively spaces that invite you to wander freely. A stroll through the Dubai Mall becomes a sensory experience beyond shopping, with galleries, indoor viewpoints, and quiet corners to observe the constant pulse of the city.

Mid-morning, the invitation is simply to let yourself go. Walking along the Dubai Fountain, stopping for a coffee, or discovering small hidden spots allows you to connect with the city’s unique rhythm, where modernity coexists with unexpected moments of calm.

In the afternoon, Dubai offers a change of scenery. Areas like City Walk or La Mer provide a relaxed, artistic, and coastal atmosphere, perfect for wandering without schedules, enjoying the sea, taking photographs, and finding that special souvenir to take home. For shopping lovers, designer boutiques and exclusive stores present one last elegant temptation.

As the sun begins to set, the city becomes even more enchanting. A walk along Dubai Marina, between illuminated skyscrapers and golden reflections on the water, creates a romantic and immersive finale. Here, a calm stroll or an optional evening experience allows you to bid farewell to Dubai with serenity.

Night gently falls over the city that never sleeps. Whether returning to your hotel or prolonging your walk under the city lights, this free day becomes the perfect epilogue to a trip full of experiences, where every memory finds its place.

Greca Tip: Bring comfortable shoes and a portable phone charger; getting lost in Dubai is part of the charm… and every corner deserves to be photographed.

In the morning, you will enjoy a hearty and delicious breakfast and then, at the scheduled time, you will transfer to the Dubai International Airport. Here the tour will end.

From Greca, we hope to see you again to enjoy some wonderful moments that will remain forever in your memory.

Have a good trip! Or, as the locals say, "Rihlat saeida!"
