Greece & Cyprus 2025

It will be our second time in Greece. The first time, we mostly island-hopped. This time, our first seven days will be a relaxing time in Hydra and Spetses. From there, we’ll explore Crete, taking in both its cities and famous canyons. The final portion will take place in Cyprus. We’ve never been and really chose it for its warmer climate in early to mid-October and its promising mix of culture. Over the course of thirty days, we’ll discover a blend of iconic cities, scenic hikes, archaeological treasures, and coastal escapes—capturing the spirit and diversity of Greece and Cyprus as we travel from September to October.
