The Best of Greece

Jul 18 - 25, 2027

THIS. IS. GREECE. 🇬🇷

Sun-drenched islands. Whitewashed villages spilling down cliffs. Ancient history that still shapes the world today.

This is not just a vacation. This is a trip people talk about for the rest of their lives.

Join Ryan Joy on an escorted journey through Greece, where every day feels like stepping into a postcard. Stand in the shadow of the Acropolis. Watch the sunset over Santorini’s caldera. Wander the charming streets of Mykonos. And do it all without the stress of planning every detail.

The best way to experience Greece is by sea. Unpack once. Wake up somewhere new each day. Let the islands come to you aboard the Celebrity Infinity, where elevated dining, ocean views, and effortless travel turn this into a seamless, unforgettable adventure.

Destination Spotlights

CEL_Athens_Acropolis_7.jpg

Athens – Where It All Began

This is where history isn’t behind glass. It’s all around you.

Walk through the Acropolis and stand where democracy, philosophy, and Western civilization took shape. Then shift gears into modern Athens, where rooftop bars, buzzing cafés, and incredible food bring the city to life.

It’s ancient. It’s electric. It’s the perfect way to begin your journey.

CEL_Mykonos_Architecture_4.jpg

Mykonos – Chic, Playful, Unforgettable

Mykonos is the Greece you see on Instagram… but better.

Think winding alleys, bright white buildings, and those iconic windmills overlooking the sea. Spend your day relaxing at a beach club, wandering boutique-lined streets, or sipping cocktails as the sun dips into the Aegean.

It’s equal parts relaxation and energy… and it’s impossible not to fall in love with it.

CEL_Rhodes_Beach.jpg

Rhodes – Medieval Magic Meets Island Beauty

Step into a real-life storybook.

Rhodes blends ancient ruins, medieval architecture, and sun-soaked beaches into one incredible destination. Wander through the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where cobblestone streets and stone walls transport you back centuries.

It’s history you can feel… with a coastline you’ll never want to leave.

CEL_Santorini_Cityscape_5.jpg

Santorini – A Feast for the Senses

Santorini is not just beautiful… it’s breathtaking.

Here, volcanic cliffs rise dramatically from the sea, crowned by whitewashed villages and blue-domed churches. The colors are unreal. The views feel endless.

You can smell the vineyards.
You can taste the sea.
You can see the contrast of turquoise water against red and black sand beaches.

Santorini doesn’t just impress you. It stays with you.

CEL_Ephesus_House_of_the_Virgin_Mary_3.jpg

Ephesus – Walk Through Ancient Wonder

Just across the water in Turkey lies one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the world.

Walk the marble streets of Ephesus, where grand libraries, temples, and amphitheaters still stand. This is history on a massive scale, where you don’t just learn about the past… you walk right through it.

It’s powerful. It’s humbling. And it’s unforgettable.

CEL_IN_Hydra_Oceanview_2.jpg

Hydra – Greece, Simplified

No cars. No chaos. Just charm.

Hydra is a peaceful escape where life slows down. Donkeys replace cars, the harbor sparkles, and every corner feels authentic and untouched.

Stroll along the waterfront, grab a seaside lunch, and soak in the kind of Greece most travelers never get to experience.

It’s quiet. It’s beautiful. It’s the perfect exhale before heading home.
