International Trip 2022: Greece Island Hopper
Since 2011, Commerce Lexington has offered an international group travel opportunity to places like China, Cuba, Egypt, Croatia, Dubai, and more. This year, we are pleased to announce that the 2022 International Trip will take Central Kentuckians to Greece from September 10-20, 2022 with our travel partner Collette. Greece is not only the southernmost country in Europe, but it also has longest coastline in Europe and fifth-longest in the world. You won’t want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Greece during this Island Hopper Adventure with visits to Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, Akrotiri, and Oia, with the availability of an optional three-night post-tour extension to Istanbul, Turkey.
The trip will begin in Athens, the capital of Greece, where you’ll explore the city’s historic district, indulge in the local cuisine with traditional Greek entertainment, take a panoramic tour with stops at the Temple of Zeus, the Parliament, Olympic Stadium, the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and more.
Next will be a high-speed boat ride to Mykonos, an island paradise surrounded by the crystal-clear Aegean Sea. Once there, participants will experience wonderful sandy beaches, seaside cafes, the flavors of the Cycladic Islands during a tour of culinary gems, and an optional half-day excursion to the isle of Delos.
Then, it’s on to Santorini to enjoy this Eden-like island with the blue-domed rooftops, gentle ocean waves, and picturesque landscape, as well as visits to Akrotiri, an ancient city buried and preserved in volcanic ash, and Oia, a seaside village. Participants will then set sail to the tiny islet of Nea Kameni, an uninhabited island formed on an active volcano. Later, you’ll take the boat to Palea Kameni, where you can swim to the island’s rejuvenating hot springs. The group will then fly back to Athens for one final night in Greece. Note that the itinerary, tours and stops are subject to change.
