Trip Overview

Day 1

Arrival in Athens

Arrive at Athens International Airport, and take your included transfer to your hotel located in the heart of Athens.

After settling in, take a walk through the lively streets of the ancient Greek capital. History greets you at every corner, so you can marvel at structures that are thousands of years old.

In the evening, join your new friends for our first dinner at a traditional Greek tavern. Enjoy a classic Greek salad, fresh seafood, or delicious stuffed tomatoes and learn more about your upcoming adventure with your Trip Leader.

Day 2

Athens City Tour & Syros Island

Experience the greatness of the Acropolis firsthand while learning about ancient Greece from a local guide during your walking tour.

Later, head to the port of Piraeus to catch the ferry to Syros Island. Once you arrive, join your Trip Leader on an orientation walk to learn more about Syros’ rich cultural heritage, which blends Orthodox and Catholic influences.

Syros is known for its excellent food, and this evening you’ll enjoy an included group dinner as you begin to get used to the life of the Greek island life.

Day 3

Explore Syros via Boat & Foot

Experience a one-of-a-kind excursion that blends sea exploration and hiking through the quiet, hidden corners of the Syros Island that most visitors never see.

Discover Kini, a small fishing village on Syros' west coast. From here, you’ll board a private boat cruising toward the island’s most hidden and untouched beaches. Expect turquoise waters, rocky landscapes, and the peaceful stillness of the Aegean.

Cool off with a swim and relax at Amerikanos Beach. Then follow a coastal hike leading to Grammata, a site of mystery and deep meaning. Etched into the rocks, you’ll find ancient inscriptions from sailors and travelers carved more than 2,000 years ago with messages of longing, hope, and survival.

Day 4

Tinos Island

Enjoy one more final morning on the island of Syros before taking the ferry to Tinos, a serene Greek island in the Cyclades, known for its picturesque marble villages, artisan crafts, and tranquil atmosphere.

Spend the afternoon your way. You can explore beautiful beaches like Kolimbithra Beach, or perhaps visit the Church of Panagia Evangelistria, a major pilgrimage site in Greece.

In the evening, gather with your newfound friends for an included dinner to experience some of Greece’s most delicious cuisine. Food lovers, Tinos Island is made for you.

Day 5

Steni Marble & Dovecote Feast

Experience traditional marble craftsmanship with Ergon Art in Steni village by participating in a marble workshop. Learn the basic technique of this centuries-old craft and make your own keepsake to take home.

Later, visit the village of Potamia for an authentic community feast cooked in a traditional wood-fired oven inside a restored dovecote. Enjoy fresh-baked breads, seasonal dishes, and locally sourced wines as you get a taste of the real Greek hospitality.

In the evening, you’ll have some free time to explore the picturesque alleys of Tinos and take in this quieter, authentic side of Greek island life.

Day 6

Tinos Island Explorations

You’ll begin your day’s journey at the village of Volax, a small village known for its ancient tradition of basket weaving and the Folklore Museum. Go on a guided walking tour to learn more about the island's culture and long history.

Enjoy a traditional “Maranda” meal with local favorites like Fhassi, Tinian cheese, louza, and house wine or raki, offering an authentic taste of rural life in Tinos. Afterwards, have free time to soak up your last afternoon on the Greek islands.

Join your group for one last final meal of authentic Greek cuisine and share impressions about your experiences over the past week.

Day 7

Relax & Depart Greece

On the final day of your adventure, wake up early to enjoy your last morning on Tinos and spend some more time with your group in Greece.

Say goodbye to your new friends and depart at any time of the day. Be sure to get instructions from your Trip Leader on how to take a ferry back to Piraeus, the main port in Athens, or to Mykonos to access an international airport.

"I’ve been on 4 trips (Costa Rica Extended; Prague, Vienna, & Budapest; Greece; Iceland) in 2 years with this company and don’t plan on stopping any time soon! Every single guide I’ve had has been exceptional, and U30X seems to know how to select great guides who know how to make the experience great. Group sizes are kept to a max of 16 (although mine have averaged 12-15) and you get to know your peers on the trip well by the end of the trip, no matter how short or long. I’ve made some of my closest friends recently on these trips. Highly recommend if you want to “solo” travel (although by the end of the trip it doesn’t feel like a solo trip, just a trip with some friends)." -Sandra M.

"This company is amazing. I was nervous to travel alone, and me and a friend decided to go with this group! I’ve never felt more comfortable traveling outside of the country. the people I met and the places we went to are things I won’t ever forget! I went on the Greece trip and our trip leader Katarina was nothing short of amazing! highly recommend booking with them!" -Jami R.

"I went on the Greece trip last summer, and it was the most incredible trip I've taken! From the beautiful beaches to the rich culture and the amazing activities, this trip far exceeded my expectations. Everything was well planned out and organized, and our Trip Leader, Katerina, was the BEST! U30X does a great job of providing a variety of activities, making each trip meaningful and well-rounded. Not to mention, you bond with some pretty awesome people, leaving you with many new friends! I couldn't say enough great things about U30X. If you're considering going on a trip with them, DO IT!" -Elizabeth B.
