A Grecian Girls Getaway, Perfect for Your Bachelorette Adventure

Explorateur Journeys has the perfect Grecian Girls Getaway for a flashy bachelorette trip or a solo excursion before your wedding.

Destination 1: Athens

Begin your Grecian holiday in Athens. After landing, meet your English speaking driver and take a relaxing ride to The Dolli, your home for the next few nights. Located in the historical Plaza neighborhood, this 1925 mansion is just steps away from the Acropolis.

Explore the Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage site and home to the world famous Parthenon. Then step into the Goulandris Museum of Modern Art, a journey through modern artistic expression.

End your day of sightseeing with a Hammam relaxation journey. Rooted in ancient times, this habit has spread through many cultures of the Mediterranean over the years. Hammam focuses
on the elements of water, beauty, wellness, balance, the physical and mental health,
which were elements of the philosophy of the baths in all cultures. Step into a world of tranquility where relaxation, luxury, and care blend seamlessly with fun and rejuvenation. With its majestic dome overhead, a central round marble bench inviting you to unwind, and individual bowls thoughtfully arranged around the warm space, every detail reflects the magic of tradition. Escape from everyday life, enjoy the thermal properties of steam, enjoy a deep exfoliation and a soothing massage. 

Destination 2: Milos:

Hop a quick 45-minute flight from Athens to Milos, an island in the Cyclades, shaped by its volcanic past to offer its visitors incredible beaches and an exotic beauty unlike any other island in Greece.

The highlights of Milos seem endless: Sarakiniko and Kleftiko, with their white rock formations, emerald green waters and caves eroded by the sea, are steeped in stories of pirates. But they are rivalled by early Christian catacombs, an array of beaches and the multicoloured settlements of Klima, Emborios and Mandrakia, with their quaint buildings cut into the cliffs and Plaka’s sunsets.

During your time in Milos, you’ll stay at Domes White Coast, a small luxury hotel that is the crown jewel of the Domes Resorts portfolio.

You’ll spend the following day sailing across the coastline on a luxury cruise. Stop by Cape Vani for swim break before sailing to the famous pirates bay of Kleftiko. Enjoy lunch back on the catamaran, then sail to the majestic and inaccessible beach of Gerakas and its hot springs.

The best part: a professional photographer is included in your sail and will be sure to snap those instagram-worthy photos.

Destination 3: Paros

Take a ferry ride to Paros, mix of traditional Cycladic architecture, vivid nightlife, magical beaches, enchanting rural villages, and historical monuments.

You’ll be staying at yet another luxury hotel- Cosme. This beachfront collection of suites envelopes guests in a luxurious narrative of Paros, balancing the traditional textures and local stone with carefully curated decoration and adornments by local contemporary artists, combined with original gravures of Paros’ folk life and naval tradition.

Travel to the south of Paros to board a traditional fishing boat. On this excursion you’ll explore hidden caves and swim in turquoise waters. You can discover the (almost exclusive) open-air museum of Despotiko islet, the huge temple of Apollo and Hestia and visit the small white-blue orthodox
chapels in the middle of the sea.

Once anchored in a sheltered bay, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in a cooking class led by a local chef. Using fresh, organic, local ingredients, you’ll learn to create traditional Cycladic dishes, mastering the art of Mediterranean flavors.

Finish up your time in Paros with a watercolor painting class, then head to the airport for the last leg of your getaway.

Destination 4: Mykonos

Embark on another ferry to head to vibrant Mykonos: the most famous island in the Aegean and the most
popular destination in Greece. Check in at Myconian O, a stylish luxury beachfront resort.

Begin your time in Mykonos with a luxury shopping trip along the charming whitewashing streets of Mykonos Old Town.

A private cruise to Mykonos South Coast offers you the unique opportunity to explore
the famous beaches of the island in a luxurious and fun way! Stop at Dragonisi Island then cruise along the south coast.

Enjoy a unique brunch experience on the boat featuring locally grown herbs, vegetables and fruits, organic eggs, freshly baked bread, extraordinary Greek cheeses, pure local honey, and handmade jams.

Wrap up your day with a Beaches & Bars Tour and enjoy an afternoon at Scorpios- the most premium bar restaurant on the island.
