Athens
Athens sits on the southeast side of the Greek mainland, near the Saronic Gulf and surrounded by the Attica mountains. The ancient city is considered the birthplace of democracy and the cradle of western civilization. The Acropolis is its most iconic landmark. Perched atop a rocky hill, take in panoramic views of the city from here. The historic center is a maze of neoclassical buildings, Byzantine churches and winding cobblestone streets. Plaka, Athens’ oldest and most charming neighborhood, is filled with craft shops, boutiques and tavernas serving authentic Greek food. As you wander, see residents enjoying long coffee breaks at cafes, going on evening strolls and having late dinners that often extend past midnight. Be sure to visit the National Archaeological Museum, which showcases a remarkable collection of artifacts. The changing of the guard ceremony at the Hellenic Parliament in Syntagma Square is quite a sight to behold. For a quick escape, head to Lake Vouliagmeni, a natural thermal lake just outside the city. It is a popular spot for a relaxing swim or lunch by the water.

Santorini
Santorini is a stunning crescent-shaped island with a volcanic history, cradled within the Cyclades and known for picturesque getaways in Greece’s Aegean Sea. Here, scenic cliffside towns of Fira, Oia, and other settlements along the caldera invite you on romantic sojourns. Steep footpaths frequented by donkey taxis and quad bikes lead to blue-domed churches, painted white buildings, fascinating museums, and small squares framed by bougainvillea. Beautiful, black sand beaches and secluded coves dot the outer edge of Santorini, with swimming and scuba diving opportunities aplenty, out in the azure waters. Thanks to Santorini’s excellent volcanic conditions, myriad homegrown wineries produce delicious wines, best enjoyed at tavern terraces or infinity pools offering incredible sunset views. Dozens of coastal trails weave through villages and on sheer lava terrain that overlooks superb seascapes. Daytrips include unwinding in hot springs that fringe the caldera islets, and exploring the prehistoric, former Minoan settlement of Akrotiri.

Chania
Take in the charms of Chania, a picturesque city with a fascinating history nestled on the northwestern shores of Crete in Greece. Chania’s atmospheric Venetian harbor takes center state, highlighted by an Egyptian designed lighthouse on the pier edge, across from the Firka fortress. Waterfront taverns serve myriad local specialties while hosting live Cretan entertainment after sundown. Chania’s Old Town charms with meandering cobbled alleyways through various quarters around the main Eleftheriou Venizelou Square. Adorned in vibrant blooming shrubs, neighborhoods of well-preserved and colorful historical buildings showcase the beautiful medieval architecture, while themed museums and ancient monuments tell stories of yesteryears. Find local produce at the bustling marketplace called Agora, or hit the hidden workshops that make Chania leather goods among other Cretan crafts. Nearby, there are many scenic beaches with adventurous approaches, for basking under the Greek sun. On the outskirts, several walking trails take you through farms and orchards, or the botanical park in Crete’s mountainous interior.

What Our Guests Say
“Trip planners and coordinators are wonderful, knowledgeable, and professional. All local contacts were vetted and fabulous. Our family had a great time in Greece.”
June 2025 Rating 5/5
“Enchanting Travels is the first travel agency I have ever used. The trip was the first overseas trip I have ever been on. Enchanting Travels really listened to what I wanted, asked plenty of questions so that they understood my goal for the trip, offered suggestions that made our trip even better, and kept in contact with me from start to end. They are very knowledgeable about the locations, the customs of the regions, and what the best experience for you will be. This may have been my first trip, but it will not be my last, and I will definitely be using Enchanting Travels again!”

“Shannon listened to our preferences and how we like to travel and designed an amazing vacation for us. Our trip was beautiful and stress free from start to finish!”
August 2023 Rating 4/5
“So many things we loved! We loved having Anto as our constant contact. He really cared about our well-being, from making sure our travels went well and we arrived at our destinations safely, to providing us with Celiac restriction cards written in Greek that we could share with restaurants to keep our newly-diagnosed daughter safe. Each on-ground representative was kind, friendly and helpful in locating us at airports, ferries and hotels as well as transporting us to each. Lastly, our tour guide in Athens, local chef/teacher and sunset cruise staff couldn’t have made our experiences any better: amazing experiences with amazing people. All of our land contacts were overseen by Anto who did an incredible job in keeping things coordinated, seamlessly. Anto was nothing short of kind and professional.”
