Maria’s Grecian odyssey began with a Qatar Airways business class flight from Melbourne, arriving in Greece. Staying at Cape Sounio, a clifftop retreat overlooking the Temple of Poseidon, myth met mindfulness in quiet luxury. Private Acropolis tours and golden-hour cocktails completed this Greek introduction.

Mykonos
Mykonos
A short flight brought Maria to Mykonos, where she checked into Deos Mykonos, perched above the Aegean Sea. Embracing the island’s playful side, she browsed boutiques along Matoyianni Street, explored Little Venice with waterfront houses, and enjoyed blissful beach days under the Cycladic sun.

Santorini
Dividing her stay between serene Vedema and cliff-hugging Mystique, Maria experienced inland charm and caldera drama of sun-drenched Santorini. Her days included wine tasting in a 400-year-old cellar, soothing spa treatments, and exclusive dining amidst Oia’s blue domes and sunsets.

Crete
Crete
Arriving in Crete via private helicopter set the tone for a finale of flavour and flair. Staying at Phaea Blue, the island’s only boutique luxury beachfront hotel, Maria discovered Crete’s soul through sailing a traditional caique, joining a Greek cooking class, and enjoying a farm-to-table feast in the hotel’s garden.
Maria's Hand-picked Holiday Activities
Wellness Under Grecian Skies
In Greece, Maria’s wellness journey went beyond pampering. At Cape Sounio, sunset destination meditations invited guests to connect with nature through tranquil guided walks and immersive healing rituals, while laughter yoga offered a release of tension and a boost of endorphins. A restorative sound therapy session at Deos Mykonos provided the ultimate sense of calm. Thoughtfully curated to restore balance to both body and mind, these experiences made Maria's holiday as nurturing as it was luxurious.
Sailing Santorini’s Caldera
A dreamy highlight of Maria’s holiday was a private half-day catamaran cruise aboard a sleek Lagoon 450 yacht, gliding effortlessly across the caldera’s shimmering volcanic waters. It was a rare opportunity to admire Santorini’s dramatic cliffs and turquoise sea from a truly memorable perspective. Designed as a luxurious pause during Maria's energetic travels, this exclusive experience offered a moment of pure sunlit serenity.
Helicopter Arrival in Crete
Few arrivals are as unforgettable as Maria’s private helicopter flight from Santorini to Crete. As she soared above the endless blue of the Aegean, olive-dotted hills unfolded beneath her in a breathtaking aerial panorama. Touching down at Elounda’s helipad aboard a private Bell 206 helicopter made for a spectacular arrival, and one few will ever experience. Expertly arranged by Travel Associates, this VIP transfer turned a simple journey into something truly extraordinary.
