Fly from Johannesburg to Athens on Olympic Airlines.

Arrive before 6am in Athens.
Check-in at our hotel - Hotel Arion.
Paul working and myself exploring.
Meet our Contiki Tour mates in the evening and have a traditional Greek dinner at the Plaka.
Tuesday, 18 Sept:
Depart on the Spotlight on Greece Tour. Guided sightseeing in Athens, including the Acropolis and Parthenon. Pausing at Corinth to see the canal. Then to the Palace of Agamemnon at Mycenae, with its beehive tomb. Past the Acronafplion Citadel to Olympia, where we're spending the night at the Olympia Amalia Hotel.

Friday, 21 Sept - Tuesday, 25 September:
5 days of fun and (hopefully) sun in Mykonos. Would like to catch the ferry to the island of Delos (a World Heritage Site and 1 of the most important archeological sites in Greece) on 1 of those days.
