You’ll then have some free time in the capital of Fira. The Prehistoric Museum is a great place to start your exploration, but there’s plenty more to discover.

Breakfast is complimentary at the hotel, so load up on those delicious Greek pastries before we embark on our next adventure.
We’ll meet for an out-and-back hike to the tallest peak in the southern Cyclades, Profitis Ilias.
The hike is 3.5 hours, with some paved paths, loose gravel, and steep slopes. It’s a medium+ difficulty hike, which basically means there will be moments when you wonder why you didn’t just nap by the pool.
But don’t worry, the stunning views will totally be worth it (and we promise, no mountain goats will challenge you for the top).
Lunch is on your own, so feel free to enjoy some well-earned downtime.
In the evening, we’ll meet in the hotel lobby for a wine tasting. After conquering a mountain, a glass of wine is practically mandatory, right?

Optional Day 10: Santorini – Beach Day!
Start your day with an optional wellness session. Whether you’re into yoga or just trying to stretch out those muscles from all the hiking, we have you covered.
Breakfast is complimentary at the hotel (seriously, who can resist those Greek yogurt bowls?).
Now, brace yourself. We’ll meet for a short hike to Kamari Beach. And by “short,” we mean it’s about 30 seconds long—so, no need to lace up those serious hiking boots for this one. It’s basically the easiest walk of your life.
Once we hit the beach, get ready for a picnic lunch, cold beers, and massages that’ll make you forget all about that 30-second “strenuous” hike. Just pure relaxation under the Greek sun.
Dinner tonight is on your own, so take your time. Maybe a sunset stroll, or just kick back and let the waves do the talking.

Start your day with an optional wellness session. If you’re not already doing warrior poses by now, this is your chance.
Breakfast is complimentary at the hotel, because let’s be real, no one wants to hike on an empty stomach.
You’ll have a free morning to do whatever your heart desires, maybe pick up a souvenir that says, “I hiked Santorini and survived”?
Lunch is on your own. You know the drill by now, find something delicious and enjoy it!
In the afternoon, we’ll meet for a hike along the caldera from Imerovigli to Oia.
It’s about a 2.5-hour hike with paved paths, loose gravel, and a few “moments of reflection” as we ascend. But trust us, the views are out of this world.
To wrap up the day, we’ll have a final sunset dinner in Oia. It’ll be a picture- perfect ending, and we bet you’ll be wishing you could bottle up that view (and the food, of course).
Optional Day 12: Return
We’ll return to Athens, but don’t worry, it’s not goodbye forever.
You’ll leave with memories that’ll make you smile every time you think of this trip.
And who knows, we might see you back here again soon.
Until next time, adventurer!
