All participants will be met at Los Angeles International Airport by their Wild Traveler leaders. After a few ice breakers and some get to know you games, we will take our international flight to Athens, Greece. Upon arrival, we’ll take the train to Plaka, located in the heart of the city. Plaka is without a doubt one of the most picturesque neighborhoods in Athens, with its narrow streets, lovely neoclassical buildings, small cafes, souvenir shops and ancient ruins in almost every corner. Plaka is in the heart of the center of Athens, just under the Acropolis hill creating a feeling of nostalgia of ancient Athens.

It was devastated by a volcanic eruption in the 16th century BC, forever shaping its rugged landscape. The whitewashed, cubiform houses of its 2 principal towns, Fira and Oia, cling to cliffs above an underwater caldera overlooking the sea. We’ll stay in one of the quintessential blue and white houses that line of hillside along Santorini’s beautiful coast line. We’ll take the afternoon to explore the old town, eat, hang out on the beach and relax.
