Experience Overview
Sure, you could plan the same Europe trip as everyone and their aunt. But we’ve got a better idea: this 15-day whirlwind adventure that’ll have you discovering hidden gems across four epic countries. Kicking things off in the walled city of Dubrovnik, you’ll travel south through Montenegro and Albania before arriving in Corfu for some well-earned beach-time. After that, you’ll get your history fix in Athens and then hop your way through the Greek Islands of Paros, Ios, and Santorini for sun-soaked days and bumping nightlife.
Highlights
- Soak up the sun on Corfu’s beaches
- Live it up with a night out in historic Athens
- Go island-hopping as you cruise through the Mediterranean
- Walk along the caldera on Santorini with incredible views

I had an amazing time travelling the Balkans, I got to see all the countries I wanted to with people of a similar age and mindset. The tour guides helped to make everything run smoothly so I didn't need to worry about getting from place to place.

I very much enjoyed the trip and would recommend it. The guides were great, I just found it a little rushed. A little more time in Albania would have been nice for example.

I had an absolute blast over my two weeks from Dubrovnik to Santorini. The trip consisted of two separate trips, each with different but overlapping groups and different CEOs, the first from Dubrovnik to Athens and the second from Athens to Santorini.

Overall was great for not having to worry about transportation, accommodations, travel issues, and being alone. I originally expected there to be more included considering the price, but add on activities were generally well organized.

This trip starts as a whirlwind through the Baltics, seeing the influence of the Venetians, Ottomans and various communist regimes layered on top of each other. The second leg of the trip allows you to relax and soak in Greek culture.
