Free day to enjoy this magnificent island. Mykonos is the meeting point of the international "jet set", famous for its wonderful beaches, the dazzling shops and vibrant nightlife.
The island's cuisine is mainly Mediterranean, which means that vegetables and olive oil are an integral part of the daily menu, together with certain spices (oregano, basil ...) as well as fish and seafood dishes.
Just a short distance away by ferry, there is the historic island of Delos, which, according to Greek mythology, was the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. This small island, inhabited since 3000 B.C., was one of the most important cultural centers of antiquity.
Greca Tip: We recommend hiring a car or a motorcycle to venture out on the island, experience the local customs and feel like a Mykonian too.

After a tasty breakfast, appreciating life like a Greek, we will pick you up at the agreed time, in one of our private vehicles, to drive you to the port, where you will continue on to your next destination, the island that is an inexhaustible source of inspiration, Santorini.

Free day to explore, at your own pace, the magical island of Santorini, considered to be the lost continent of Atlantis. The name of the island was given by the Venetian Giacomo Barozzi due to the presence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Eirini.
Optionally, you may choose to go on a dazzling sailboat tour that will take you over to the small islands of Santorini Caldera, Nea and Palea Kameni, with the hot springs of green and yellow waters.

We cannot miss tasting the tomato keftedes (a kind of tomato balls), the fava dishes (a vegetable smaller than a pea), and the cheese called Chloro. Here is a catamaran cruise with wine tasting in Santorini you may want to take.

At the appointed time, we will transfer you to the new port of Santorini, Athinios. There, you will board the ferry bound for the largest island of Greece, Crete.

Your day in Chania is not over yet! You still have time to rest, go shopping or continue exploring the places of interest or beaches that you marked as important, but did not quite found the time to visit. In mid-afternoon, you will get ready for your return to Heraklion.

We suggest a visit to Lindos one of the three major towns of ancient Rhodes, thanks to its great naval power. The remains of the Acropolis of Lindos, a natural watchtower facing the open sea and built on a steep rock 116 meters above sea level, is an eloquent witness to the town's long standing power and wealth. After your visit you can relax in the azure sea at Saint Paul’s Bay.
Greca Tip: You can also visit the Valley of the Butterflies, a habitat of unique value and incomparable beauty with lush vegetation and streams along cleverly laid paths.
