Heavens Portfolio hosted a group of Australian travel advisors on a famil across Greece, tracing a route from the Athenian Riviera through Mykonos, Santorini and Paros – a showcase of the country’s extraordinary range.
Throughout the famil, Heavens Portfolio reminded the group that Greece offers more than just scenery.
The trip began on the Athenian Riviera, where Eclectic Greece arranged an introduction to the destination. A highlight was a visit to the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, perfectly timed to coincide with sunset over the Aegean Sea.
The Roc Club and Cape Sounio accommodated the group in Athens. The Roc Club offered a stylish introduction to Athens’ coastal lifestyle, while Cape Sounio delivered an extraordinary setting overlooking one of Greece’s most significant archaeological landmarks.
From Athens, the group travelled to Mykonos. Kalesma, one of Greece’s luxury hotels, hosted the group. The property features private pool suites and villas with sweeping views across the Aegean, with changing light throughout the day, spectacular sunsets and dedicated stargazing areas creating a memorable atmosphere.
A highlight of the stay was an excursion through the Cyclades – cruising past Mykonos’ windmills and the whitewashed houses of Little Venice, across open water to the island of Delos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Culinary experiences throughout the stay included dishes such as refined tarama with squid ink alongside Greek classics.
In Santorini, the group experienced two different versions of the island’s luxury hospitality: Vedema and Mystique. Vedema occupies a restored 15th-century wine estate, once part of a Venetian mansion. Mystique, part of The Luxury Collection, is carved dramatically into the cliffs above the caldera near Oia and represents the iconic, world-renowned image of Santorini.
The final stop of the journey took the group to Paros, hosted by Parīlio and Cosme. Both properties showcased the island’s presence within the luxury travel landscape, combining contemporary design with authentic Cycladic charm.
Just last month, Heavens Portfolio hosted a different group of travel advisors on a tour through Italy.
