Athens first, because two nights is the right length and it breaks the journey. Then the fast ferry to Santorini for four nights in a caldera-view hotel in Imerovigli, a quieter base than Oia with the same view. Most UAE residents need a Schengen visa, which we can prepare alongside the booking.
1
A five-hour flight from Dubai. Transfer to a hotel in Plaka, under the Acropolis.
2
A guided visit at opening time, before the heat and the cruise-ship groups, then the museum at the foot of the hill.
3
A five-hour crossing from Piraeus. You are met at the port and driven up to Imerovigli in time for the sunset.
4
The caldera path is ten kilometres and takes about three hours. Start early; there is no shade.
5
An afternoon sail to the hot springs and the red and white beaches, with dinner on board as the sun sets.
6
The excavations at Akrotiri and the black sand at Perissa are both on the south of the island and combine well.
7
A morning flight to Athens to connect with the afternoon departure for Dubai.
Tell us where you want to go and we will come back with options, usually the same day.
