The Dolli at Acropolis: Athens at its finest 

The Dolli is a boutique hotel with just 46 rooms, set in a restored landmark building that gazes directly at the Parthenon. It was voted the number one hotel in Greece at the Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Choice Awards, and it holds Michelin Key recognition too. You'll feel the difference the moment you arrive. The rooftop restaurant is the place to book, with refined cuisine and Acropolis views that reward a lingering dinner. A private Athens food tour rounds things out, taking you through Kotzia Square, the buzzing Central Market, a much-loved Greek deli, and finally Monastiraki Square.

Green hills and traditional tastes

Next up is Corfu, which feels worlds away from the mainland. The island's old town holds UNESCO recognition, and its northwest coast stays quieter than most, backed by lush hills and juniper-green slopes. Your private walking tour is the ideal introduction to this region. You'll meet your guide at the Old Fortress, then wind through the town's narrow 'Kantounia' alleys. A traditional breakfast starts things off, followed by a tasting of Corfu's famous Kumquat liqueur and a wander through the central food market. Along the way you'll see Liston Square and the church of St Spyridon. It ends where it should: a taverna feast of Sofrito and Pastitsada, with a glass of ouzo to finish.

Corfu Imperial: An exclusive peninsula hideaway

This 5-star resort occupies one of Greece’s most coveted settings, at the tip of the private Kommeno Peninsula, with views across the Ionian Sea towards Corfu’s Venetian Old Town. It feels more like an aristocratic estate than a hotel, with marble, palms, seafront terraces, and a candlelit promenade linking its restaurants and boutiques. With suites set among fragrant gardens, some with direct sea views and terrace access to a shared pool, you’ll enjoy memorable dining experiences throughout the week: Yali Seafood floats above the water, Aristos brings refined French cuisine, and Merlin’s offers adults-only Asian-Latin fusion after dark. For something more personal, private dining can be arranged in a setting of your choice, complete with bespoke menus and live music.

Immerse yourself in the Ionian

Some days deserve to be spent entirely on the water. This full-day catamaran cruise gives Corfu's rugged coastline the setting it deserves. You'll be collected and brought to the harbour, and from there you needn't lift a finger. The route passes steep cliffs, secluded beaches, and small fishing villages, with at least four anchored stops for swimming and snorkelling in the Ionian Sea. There's a trampoline net on deck for lounging over the water, and you'll spot landmarks made famous by TV show 'The Durrells' along the way. A traditional Greek lunch and unlimited drinks are included, with an attentive crew on hand throughout.

Suggested itinerary

This nine-night journey combines two contrasting Greek experiences - the charged, ancient energy of Athens and the slower, coastal ease of Corfu - with private culinary experiences, a day at sea, and two of Greece's most celebrated hotels included. Every element can be adjusted to suit your preferences, whether that means an extended stay in Athens, a room upgrade at Corfu Imperial, or additional private experiences on either island.

Days 1–2: The Dolli at Acropolis, Athens - Just 46 rooms, a rooftop restaurant with direct Parthenon views, and Michelin Key recognition. Your private Athens food tour takes in Kotzia Square, the Central Market, a local Greek deli, and Monastiraki Square - a considered introduction to a city with more culinary depth than most visitors expect.

Days 3–9: Corfu Imperial, Kommeno Peninsula – Spend even nights in a Swim Up Junior Bungalow Suite, nestled within the resort's fragrant gardens with sea views and direct pool access. Your Greek Gastronomy Private Walking Tour winds through the UNESCO-recognised old town, from traditional breakfast in a Corfu bakery to a taverna feast of Sofrito and Pastitsada. Midway through your stay, the full-day catamaran cruise traces the island's western coastline for secluded swimming stops, a traditional Greek lunch, and a crew who handle everything.
