Day 0: April 04th: Arrival at Athens airport, bus to the port of Rafina, where we will spend the night.
Days 1: Tinos. We set sail to Tinos by ferry. We’ll start with some refreshing strolls around the harbour of Tinos, one of the oldest inhabited places on the Aegean. We’ll visit its famous musea, and the Church of the Megalohari, the most holy of churches throughout Greece, credited for many miracles. Evening will take us to the old section of Pallada for a welcoming dinner.
Days 2: Tinos. We begin our treks in Kardiani, the most spectacular and greenest village of the island, perched high in the hills overlooking the Aegean. We will walk down the mountain to Ormos (Bay) of Giannaki for a swim and lunch at a local taverna.
Day 3: Mykonos. We take a ferry ride to the picturesque island of Mykonos, home of the jetsetters.
Day 4: Tinos. We start in Pyrgos, the only village not visible from the sea and the only one that has never been captured by any invader. From Pyrgos we’ll walk down to the Bay of Panormos for lunch, and then hike back to Pyrgosfor our bus.
Day 5: Syros. We will spend all day on the island of Syros, the first capital of Greece after the War of Independence from the Ottomans in 1821. Visit the upper city, a walk of 1,200 steps…that should take care of our work out for the day!
Day 6: Tinos. From the village of Falatathos we will hike to Livada, a magical gorge at the most eastern part of Tinos. We will have lunch on the beach—and then back to Falatathos to explore the historical village. Our special dinner will include local delicacies and raki, the world famous ouzo of Falatathos!
Day 7: Andros. We visit Andros, the island of the shipping magnates, with the best French painting collection east of Paris at the Goulandris Museum, lovely villas, and a beautiful port city.
Day 8: Tinos. We trek to the tiny village of Volax, an otherworldly landscape that was created by a meteorite thousands of years ago and home now to a handful of basket makers.
Day 9: Tinos. Our hike begins at the village of Dio Choria (Two Villages). From there we walk down to the beach of Pahia Ammo(Fat Sand Beach), where we will have lunch.
