Flavors of the Aegean
Athens – Naxos – Santorini
A journey for the senses — discover Greece through its food and wine. From Athens’ bustling markets to Naxos’ fertile farmlands and Santorini’s volcanic vineyards, this itinerary celebrates authentic flavors paired with unforgettable settings.
Athens – A Taste of Tradition
Begin in Athens with an immersion into the city’s culinary heartbeat. With your private guide, wander through bustling food markets and local tavernas, sampling meze and seasonal specialties along the way. A private cooking class with a local chef invites you to master the art of Greek cuisine, from savory pies to classic dishes passed down through generations. Evenings are best enjoyed at traditional tavernas or modern gourmet restaurants overlooking the illuminated Acropolis.
Naxos – Island of Produce
Sail to Naxos, the most fertile of the Cycladic islands, where gastronomy is inseparable from daily life. Explore family-run farms and villages where cheeses, potatoes, honey, and citrus liqueurs are produced with age-old techniques. Guided tours take you through lush valleys, marble quarries, and hidden chapels before evenings filled with authentic island flavors. Boutique hotels set among olive groves or on golden beaches provide a serene retreat.
Santorini – Wine by the Caldera
Conclude your journey in breathtaking Santorini, where volcanic soil produces the crisp, mineral-rich Assyrtiko wines. Enjoy private tastings in boutique wineries, pair them with freshly caught seafood, and embark on a sunset dinner cruise across the caldera. Days bring leisurely strolls through whitewashed villages, while evenings in cliffside hotels deliver iconic Aegean views.
