Greece Through The Back Door

Two Couples Take On Greece the MOJO way

These two couples, who have been friends for years, wanted to see what Greece had to offer without the typical tourist excursions. They knew they would be in good hands with MOJO Adventures, after experiencing the concept of custom adventures on a prior MOJO trip to Costa Rica. With all that Greece has to offer, including ancient archeological sites, crystal clear water and beautiful weather, this Mediterranean adventure is prime to dig deep — with MOJO moments at every turn.

Tana, Mike, Jillian and Peer started their journey exploring the city of Santorini, complete with a private sunset sail around the island. The next day they learned the history of Santorini and tasted local wines on a private winery visit.

There were new experiences at every turn, including taking to the skies. Soaking in the local flavor with a birds-eye view, they flew in a private helicopter to Crete and got the full Cretan experience. “We visited with a Cretan family for the day. We cooked inside their home and visited their local town,“ says Tana. 

The group loved visiting different islands, trying new foods and learning inside culture with unique excursions. “MOJO planned the daily itinerary filled with unique, custom experiences that would otherwise be missed. I would’ve never known about the custom helicopter Crete adventure or the fishing charter that took us island hopping,” says Tana. 

They completed their adventure exploring the history-rich Athens. “I loved saving Athens till the end so we had more energy to soak in the history and culture. I would definitely recommend visiting the Acropolis museum… so much history spanning thousands of years,” says Jillian.

MOJO does the work so you can relax

MOJO enjoys worldwide preferred partnerships so we can provide our guests with the best, curated experiences.

“Molly asked what we like and don’t like. She came back with a variety of different experiences to pick and choose from” says Tana. From arriving at the airport to a fantastic 5-star restaurant, MOJO has it all planned for you.

“MOJO makes it very easy to travel, from having a dedicated support team available 24/7 throughout your trip, arranging a Fast Pass to get you through the busy airports and accommodating the needs of the overall group complete with off-the-beaten path experiences,” says Jillian. 

Some of their favorite highlights in Greece included:

• Island hopping on a fishing boat complete with chef-prepared food
• Relaxing on a 77 ft yacht complete with water toys 
• Taking a private helicopter to Crete and visiting with a local family  learning insider knowledge about local cuisine and culture 
• Touring the Acropolis and trying local foods on a “Taste of Athens” food tour
