Day 1: Arrival at Athens Airport

May 25th - We will arrive at Athens International Airport, stepping off the plane with a sense of quiet anticipation for the days ahead. The warmth of the Greek sun will greet us even before we leave the terminal. Our transfer will already be waiting, and we will be driven through the bustling capital—past hills crowned with white buildings and olive trees, glimpses of the Acropolis rising in the distance—until we reach our hotel.
​
Soon we will find ourselves in the comfort of our rooms, where we will have a few hours to rest. Some may choose to walk through the nearby streets, perhaps stopping at a shaded café for a first taste of Greek coffee. Others will simply relax, letting the long journey settle behind them.
​
As evening falls, we will gather for our first group dinner. The meal will be generous and unhurried, paired with local wines and flavors that will give us a first glimpse into the richness of Greek cuisine. Everyone will have an opportunity to be formally introduced before retreating for some much deserved rest.
