Detailed Description
This week-long family Greece tour perfectly encapsulates the wonderment, mystique, and serenity of Athens, Crete, and Naxos. Greece is a country where history does not exist in the past; it courses through every activity, every building, and every site that your family will encounter. This handcrafted vacation combines historical teachings with engaging local guides in order to leave your family with an experience.
Your adventure begins in Athens. Tidbits of philosophy and divinity will fill your mind as you begin your ascent to the legendary Acropolis. Today will be your family's day to give praise to one of the most culturally significant sites in human history, and as you walk through each temple, you will realize that you are not just learning of the past, but living in it. After you have finished conversing with ancient gods at the Acropolis, your family will enjoy an evening trip to the Temple of Poseidon on Cape Sounion.
Your next destination will be the mystical island of Crete. To get there, you will take to the skies on an exclusive helicopter tour. After you land, your family will change into digging clothes and prepare to discover the secrets that lay below the earth during an ancient Minoan archeological excavation. The next day, you will adventure through breathtaking mountain passes to the inspiring Lassithi Plateau. From there, you will traverse the infamous Cave of Zeus and experience a number of other cultural wonders.
Your final destination will be the enchanting island of Naxos. Here, you can discover the famed Portara, which is a massive marble gateway that was originally constructed to stand as the most magnificent structure in the world. The Portara also offers a spectacular view of the island countryside and villages. You will spend your final afternoon in Greece meandering through the wonderful maze of artesian shops, cafes, and jewelers in the endearing and rustic Old Town of Naxos.

If you're considering a trip to Greece, look no further than Zicasso. Our travel expert planned an unforgettable journey for our family; Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini, and every detail was executed with care, expertise, and passion.
From the moment we arrived in Athens, we were immersed in the country’s warm hospitality. Our agent made sure we had the perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxation. The historical sites in Athens, like the Acropolis and the ancient Agora, were must-sees.
Mykonos is vibrant yet relaxed. The beaches were beautiful. Every meal on this trip was a highlight. Fresh seafood, local cheeses, olive oil, and delicious pastries—each bite told a story of Greece’s deep culinary heritage.
In Santorini, we were captivated by the island’s charm—whitewashed buildings, breathtaking sunsets, and the deep blue Aegean Sea. We visited traditional villages, giving us a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions that are still very much alive.
Throughout the trip, what stood out most—beyond the stunning landscapes and ancient history—was the friendliness of the Greek people. Their warmth and pride in their culture made every moment feel welcoming and genuine.
Our agent didn’t just plan a vacation—he created an experience rooted in history, tradition, and hospitality. I can’t recommend him and Zicasso highly enough.

We had a first-ever mother-daughter trip and are so grateful we went with Zicasso's tour operator. Throughout our trip, locals would ask about where we'd been and our plans. Every time, they were impressed with the choices made by our wonderful travel agent. Her choices of tour guides, timings, hotel locations, and pacing were so spot on. I could see many places where I would have made frustrating mistakes if I had tried to plan this on my own. These were prevented by her thoughtful and informed guidance. It felt like we had friends in Greece looking out for us!
