Greca Tip: Find a nice spot and watch one of the most ravishing sunsets in the world.

Enjoy a free day to explore the enchanting island of Santorini at your leisure. Often referred to as the lost continent of Atlantis, this mystical destination offers a unique experience.

Santorini’s name was given by the Venetian Giacomo Barozzi due to the presence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Eirini. The Barozzi family occupied the island until 1576 when it became part of the Duchy of Naxos. Eventually, the Turkish conquest led by Piyale Pasha took place.

Greca Tip: To enhance your exploration, we highly recommend renting a car in Santorini. It allows you to delve deeper into the island's wonders.

At the agreed time, you will be transferred to the airport of Santorini, from where you will board your flight to Athens.

Your arrival at the airport will correspond to your international flight, which should preferably have a departure not earlier than 12:30 pm. Having spent a few fantastic days with Greca, we hope to see you soon so as to create together new and extraordinary moments that will be lovingly etched in your memory. Have a nice trip! or as Greeks say Kalo taksidi!

Greca Tip: As a going away gift you may choose the classic white Assyrtiko or sweet Vinsanto from Santorini, or if you’re nervous about packing any bottles in your suitcase, the duty-free shop at Athens Airport offers a good selection of Greek wines and spirits.
