I am so happy with my experience with Sunset Travel & Cruise. I was looking for an easy getaway with my mom over Thanksgiving but had no time or energy to get anything together. When I submitted an inquiry, Martha Galvez responded right away. She was so helpful and attentive to detail and she created the perfect trip for us. We had no issues or friction points. The travel was smooth, transportation was seamless, and the accommodations she selected for us were beyond expectation. My mom and I had a wonderful time and are so grateful to Martha. I will definitely use this agency for future trips!

The Club Barbados is in desperate need of a COMPLETE renovation, in EVERY area. The guest rooms, (2) restaurants and pool area are NOT quality accommodations at ALL.The locks to the guest rooms don’t function at all, thank goodness there was a chain for the door. The sliding glass door for outside access didn’t work, I had to contact maintenance to repair that lock. The rooms are totally outdated and requiring updating. We went with a group, and it was the overall consensus for every room occupied.The Club Barbados owner/management is NOT focused on a quality experience/stay for the guest.

I can’t recommend this travel agency enough! Latrissa, my travel agent, worked an absolute miracle by booking my entire Thanksgiving trip to Honolulu in just one day and within budget —for a trip happening in only three days!Not only did she manage to organize everything seamlessly, but when changes occurred during the trip, they were handled flawlessly. The instructions for transportation, hotel, and activities were crystal clear, making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable.Latrissa was truly a magician, pulling everything together on such short notice while ensuring every detail was perfect. I’m beyond grateful for her professionalism, efficiency, and expertise. Thank you for making this last-minute getaway unforgettable!

Top Destinations in Greece

Mykonos

A lovely Greek island in the Cyclades, Mykonos is now a popular tourist destination where glamour meets simplicity. On Mykonos, celebrities, college students and families mingle together to celebrate the Greek culture and all the region has to offer. At times, up to 15,000 people come to visit Mykonos’ quaint shops and taverns, and the cruise ships stop in the area year round, meaning you can always set sail.

Don’t miss out on a Gondola ride at Little Venice, the golden sandy beach of Megali Ammos or exhibits at the Aegean Maritime Museum. Explore the classic charm of Matoyianni Street and displays at Rarity Gallery, Kalafatis Beach. Then, be enchanted by awe-inspiring Church of Paraportiani, and views from Armenistis Lighthouse. Whether you’re into the nightlife or a tourist more interested in the island’s history and tradition, Mykonos will certainly meet your expectations.

Athens

There are only a few cities on the whole planet that have as much history as Athens. With the great Parthenon and the sprawling remains of the Agora, it was in Athens that the greats like Socrates and Plato, Euripides and Pericles would have stood debating and discussing the issues of the day.

Democracy was born here in the late 6th century, and it has been the home of all great classical tragedy and comedy: Oedipus Rex; The Antigone; The Phoenician Women.

Now the ancient city of Athens is recognized by more modern means, with their subways, clean streets, well-manicured parks, remarkable freeways, and super friendly people.

It’s a city that boasts striking historical monuments, but also of stunning modern architecture. From the pillars of the Acropolis to the Temple of Zeus, places to visit in Athens, Greece are countless.

Greece is famous for its fantastic food, and coming to Athens is a wonderful opportunity to get an authentic taste of all of Greece’s famous bites. Consider booking a food tour that will take you away from large, noisy, and touristy restaurants, to the places where local Greeks eat. Op!

Parthenon & Acropolis

What would a visit to Greece be without going to the Acropolis to see the Parthenon? Even if you’re not a history buff, you’ll still know the Parthenon is one of the most famous and recognizable monuments in the world and the symbol of Greece.

Located on the Acropolis, a hill overlooking the city of Athens the Parthenon of today is what is left of the magnificent temple to the Greek goddess Athena, the patron of the City of Athens.

The temple was completed in 438 BC, and its architectural style with huge Doric pillars has had a huge influence on significant architectural structures all over the world ever since.

The best time to go up there is the late winter or spring when you can see this giant stone mountain overcome by grass and wildflowers which seem to burst from every crack. It is still surprisingly green even in December, January, and February.

Crete

They can’t talk about the best places to visit in Greece without a mention of Crete. The largest island in Greece, and the fifth largest one in the Mediterranean Sea, it’s a spacious land of contrasting landscapes – there are coastlines as far as the eye can see, rolling mountains, lush foliage, and rocky terrains. There are bustling metropolises and also quiet, quaint little villages, historical museums and national parks.

You can take it all in on a driving tour, hike through Europe’s longest gorge and then trek to the cave where Zeus was born before cycling through orchards on the Lasithi Plateau. Don’t forget to plant your footprints on one of the sandy beaches, and then boat, kayak or snorkel in the crystal-clear waters. The Cretan diet is also one of the healthiest in the world, and foodies will be in heaven tasting local meats, cheeses, olive oils, and of course, wine.

Beach Destinations in Greece

Santorini

If you’re looking for a region that has it all, look no further than Santorini. It’s actually a group of islands consisting of Thíra, Thirassiá, Asproníssi, Palea and Nea Kaméni in the southernmost part of Cyclades. And the views? Second to none.

There’s a spectacular rugged landscape with multicolored cliffs that drop 300 feet almost vertically into the deep blue sea.

Explore ancient ruins that date back 4,000 years or serene vineyards that produce world-class wines. Relax on spectacular beaches with red sand where smooth lava pebbles come in a rainbow of colors, picturesque villages, and the legend of Atlantis lost at the bottom of the sea.

Santorini is also considered one of the most sought after places for a romantic getaway in Greece — thousands of couples come here for destination weddings and unforgettable honeymoons.

Myrtos Beach

Located on Kefalonia Island in the Ionian Sea about 30 km north of the town of Argostoli, Myrtos Beach is one of the most beautiful and the most photographed beaches in Greece. What greets you is a wide stretch of fine white sand and smooth pebbles, all nestled close to huge hills covered by dense Mediterranean vegetation that plunge into the azure sea. And there’s no better place for a sunset.

The beach is often busy with visitors who do not mind the steep walk down the hill and want to appreciate the magnificent views you won’t find anywhere else on the planet.

Easily accessible by the road, most of the beach is well-equipped with lounge chairs and umbrellas, and there’s even a little bar that offers refreshments. For those looking to get away from the crowds, there is a small part of the beach that remains completely unspoiled.

Corfu

An island located on the northwest coast of the country, Corfu is a place rich in cultural heritage and views that will take your breath away. It’s not hard to find your own personal paradise on one of the many beaches this island has to offer. Add in rugged mountains in the backdrop give a perfect contrast to white sandy beaches, and it looks like something out of a travel brochure

If you want to get off of the beach, the island offers a vast array of things to do, like going on an olive tasting tour or visiting the Vlacherna Monastery. There’s the Gorge at Agni Bay, and the dramatic Cape Drastis on the northerly point of the island. Add in the nightlife of Sidari on Corfu Island and the old fort of Corfu, which is a relic worth seeing, and you’ll never want to leave.

Insights…

“In Athens, the nightlife is amazing as is the day life.

You can languish during the afternoon over a frape (iced coffee), or go for a siesta, then get up at 7pm, go for another cafe and hit the town. You can hang out at bars, clubs, jazz joints, and rave clubs. It is fantastic!”

“I just returned from a fabulous one week adventure in Crete.

I could never have imagined what a variety of scenery and experiences one island could provide! There were dramatic mountain peaks, rugged cliffs, beautifully cultivated vineyards and olive groves, pristine lakes, amazing caves, fascinating Minoan and Roman ruins, gorgeous beaches, and quaint old villages.”
