Day 1

Guided visit with professional licensed guide in the Minoan Town of Akrotiri, one of the most important prehistoric settlements of Greece. Akrotiri is a Bronze Age settlement on the southern side of Santorini that was destroyed by the huge volcanic eruption of Thera. As Akrotiri was entirely covered by volcanic ash, it was preserved in perfect conditions so as to be referred today as the Prehistoric Pompei. Excavations in Akrotiri have revealed a place of dense urban planning, public buildings, paved streets, squares, store houses and walls decorated with amazing frescoes. These frescoes depict scenes of festival occasions and daily life. As they were covered by lava, they maintained their coloring amazingly well. Due to its way of destruction, Akrotiri has been frequently suggested as the location of the lost Atlantis.

Trip of a Lifetime

What did we like about Greece? The beauty, the people, the history, archaeology, mythology, the food, hospitality in hotels and restarants, everything!
Anthony from Antelope Travel planned the most wonderful vacation for us to Athens, Delphi and Meteora, Naxos, and Santorini. Everything went so smoothly from hotels, transfers, drivers, and tours. Everyone including drivers, hotel staff, and tour guides were gracious, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make us happy. Antelope Travel is located in Athens and Anthony or representatives from the agency met us and were available in each location, so we felt secure knowing that there were people in Greece to reach out to. We highly recommend this agency to plan a custom trip of a lifetime. We have wanted to visit Greece for many years and were not disappointed. Loving beautiful Greece 🇬🇷 💙 Thank you, Anthony!

Best Honeymoon Ever!!

We took a 10day honeymoon to Athens, Mykonos and santorini and everything was planned perfectly. The itinerary included amazing excursions such as a sailing cruise, caldera hike, tour of the acropolis etc. They were all great and the people working were all so nice. We felt like VIP’s the entire trip. Drivers were planned for us, boarding passes sent to us before the flights. The entire trip was stress free and we had someone in each location to talk to if we had questions. I will 100% be recommending Antelope travel to all my friends and family. Thank you!!!
