| TrueIndulgence: Athens - Paros - Mykonos |
| The TrueIndulgence package has been tailored for guests who are young at heart and are looking to indulge in the vibrant social scene and nightlife, while still absorbing the history, culture and unique island life of the Aegean. We assure our guests a diverse experience, which will satisfy their every expectation. |
| The Islands |
Paros is a typical Cycladic island, with narrow streets, white washed houses, hundreds of pots with colourful flowers with locals and visitors blending in perfectly with the activities of every day life: dining, shopping, or enjoying the fast expanding social scene. Paros will almost certainly live up to its reputation of being the Greek island with something for everyone.
Sophisticated and cosmopolitan Mykonos will definitely keep visitors on their toes: the energetic nightlife, high end restaurants, colourful beaches and most importantly freedom of expression create a wonderful assortment of flavours and choices. Parallel to the general buzz that Mykonos exudes, visitors will be able to relax and enjoy an authentic Greek island experience. |

The TrueGreece holiday packages include luxurious accommodations at exceptional hotels, traditional and distinctive culinary experiences as well as educating and exciting pre-planned excursions.

Your TrueGreece Concierge will be with you every step of the way, providing you with a useful resource which we highly recommend you exploit. We encourage you to take advantage of your Concierge’s love for Greece and unique wealth of local knowledge.
