DETAILS

Your trip begins as soon as you land in Athens, where you will be chauffeured to our host hotel to check into your room. Depending on when your flight arrives, you can wait for your room to be ready at our Hospitality Suite, or you can visit a traditional Hammam Bath where you can relax and wash away the travel stress and jet lag, or make the most of your stay and explore the city with the included Hop-On, Hop-Off bus pass. We also have a Welcome Dinner that night so you can meet your fellow cruisers and ELT attendees.

Athens is quite compact, so with the inclusion of a 2-Day Hop-On/Hop-Off bus ticket, you will be able to explore the city at your own pace, in addition to the excursions and activities that we have planned, such a private Athens and Wine Tour, entry to both lifestyle clubs in the city plus tickets to the Desire Greek Isles Cruise Meet + Greet the night before the cruise. There are also optional excursions available, such as Lake Vouliagmeni Spa, Day Tours to historic places like Corinth or Delphi, Day Cruises, and more!

We will have a Farewell Dinner on the last night and at the end of our stay in Athens, you will transfer to the cruise terminal for your Desire Greek Isle Cruise!

HOST HOTEL

For our Athens accommodation, we will stay at an exquisite 5-star boutique hotel, the New Hotel, part of the YES! Hotel Group, dedicated to providing their discerning guests with “Y”oung “E”nthusiastic “S”eductive experiences, and a member of Design Hotels.

The New Hotel is one of Athen’s finest examples of modernist architecture. It is situated right in the center of Athens, next to Syntagma Square, within walking distance to ruins of Plaka and Acropolis. This contemporary hotel was the former Olympic Palace Hotel, and it paid homage to its past by recycling parts of the old hotel and reinterpreted local materials to create a complete work of art, where its outstanding interiors, unusual custom-made furniture, and handmade fixtures make guests feel that they live and breathe in a major art installation refined by luxury.

There is a fully-equipped fitness center, a steam room/hammam as well as the New Sense Spa with a comprehensive spa menu, business center, New Taste restaurant & bakery, and a rooftop Art Lounge bar-restaurant with an impressive view of the city & Acropolis.

This is not a Takeover but we will have the spectacular Penthouse Suite as our Hospitality Suite & Playroom, with a stunning 180-degree view of Acropolis and the Parthenon and a 500-sqft terrace with an outdoor bed! If your room is not ready when you arrive, you are welcome to make yourself at home here with a cocktail and a view while you wait. We have some special surprises in store plus we will have a Sybian available here during our stay.

Each of the design-centric, soundproofed rooms evokes a feeling of bliss and contemporary refinement and features fine furnishing and amenities, such as Queen beds, private bathrooms, Smart TV, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
