Day 1

Guided visit with professional licensed guide in the Minoan Town of Akrotiri, one of the most important prehistoric settlements of Greece. Akrotiri is a Bronze Age settlement on the southern side of Santorini that was destroyed by the huge volcanic eruption of Thera. As Akrotiri was entirely covered by volcanic ash, it was preserved in perfect conditions so as to be referred today as the Prehistoric Pompei. Excavations in Akrotiri have revealed a place of dense urban planning, public buildings, paved streets, squares, store houses and walls decorated with amazing frescoes. These frescoes depict scenes of festival occasions and daily life. As they were covered by lava, they maintained their coloring amazingly well. Due to its way of destruction, Akrotiri has been frequently suggested as the location of the lost Atlantis.

Best Honeymoon Ever!!

We took a 10day honeymoon to Athens, Mykonos and santorini and everything was planned perfectly. The itinerary included amazing excursions such as a sailing cruise, caldera hike, tour of the acropolis etc. They were all great and the people working were all so nice. We felt like VIP’s the entire trip. Drivers were planned for us, boarding passes sent to us before the flights. The entire trip was stress free and we had someone in each location to talk to if we had questions. I will 100% be recommending Antelope travel to all my friends and family. Thank you!!!

We worked with Anastasia at Antelope travel, who was amazing. She arranged a four hour tour in Athens and then 3 nights in Mykonos and 3 nights in Santorini. It was a truly amazing trip. All the guides hired by the travel agency (Athens and Delos day trip) were knowledgeable and friendly. The transfers and transportation was timely and efficient. The hotel in Mykonos (Myconian Imperial) was a real treasure.....we loved it. I rarely work with travel agents because I think I can do it on my own, but this trip was truly marvelous because of Anastasia's efforts. We want to thank her for all her help!!
