JOIN FUN HAPPENINGS TRAVEL & ADVENTURE FOR AN AMAZING LUXURY 5-STAR PRIVATE YACHT TOUR TO 9 GREEK ISLANDS AND SPEND TWO DAYS IN ATHENS! OUR 2025 GREEK ISLANDS GROUP DEPARTS JFK WED. JUNE 18, 2025 AND RETURNS FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 2025.

If you have traveled with Fun Happenings on our previous Greece yacht tours, you already know how incredible these itineraries are! It's time to take this amazing trip up to 5-stars with the luxury Elysium Mega Yacht! This 210' 25-cabin luxury yacht, was an expedition ship in the Galapagos Islands, formerly owned by Celebrity Cruises. The cabins are very spacious, the ship offers a mini spa and gym onboard, two dining rooms, offers daily wellness classes and the crew of 28 will pamper and spoil our travelers beyond our expectations!

Experience the epitome of luxury boutique cruising aboard the Elysium, an intimate vessel featuring 25 elegant cabins. Never before has there been a small ship in Greece as upscale as the Elysium! This private yacht is dedicated to offering luxury with an emphasis on culinary, wellness and immersion into the local culture. Your time on board this vessel promises to be an extraordinary, unparalleled experience in cruising. It's a harmonious blend of relaxation, wellness, education, exploration and fun.

This Greek Islands 2025 itinerary is very unique, visiting 7 different smaller off the beaten path islands; including Naxos, Ios, Milos, Kimolos, Sifnos, Serifos and Kythnos, but also visits the two most Iconic Islands in Greece... Mykonos and Santorini. We will definitely immerse ourselves in the local culture and experience the Real Greece on this yacht tour. We are spending the night in 4 ports, which allows our group to experience the local culture in the evening... the food, wine and nightlife in these ports.

The Elysium boasts large interior and exterior areas, a wellness & sun deck equipped with jacuzzi, a spa suite , a mini gym and many water toys like glass bottom kayaks, SUPs and snorkeling equipment. The gourmet chefs offer deliciously healthy Mediterranean cuisine, personalized service with a guest to crew ratio of 2:1 and an array of activities, including several swim stops, cultural tours and daily group wellness classes, that guarantee an unforgettable experience aboard the luxury Elysium yacht.

The Elysium awaits to soothe your soul and excite your senses!

▪️WHAT MAKES THIS GREECE YACHT TOUR SO SPECIAL?

SIMPLY PUT... THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO EXPLORE THE GREEK ISLANDS, THAN BY PRIVATE YACHT! AND THIS 5-STAR YACHT IS A BEAUTY, FILLED WITH SO MANY LUXURY AMENITIES! The beauty of exploring Greece by private yacht is that we are visiting places cruise ships cannot reach, so we experience the "REAL GREECE", not just the tourist places the mega cruise ships go.

Fun Happenings will experience the Greek Islands, like billionaires do on their own mega yachts... but at a fraction of the cost! Fun Happenings Travel Group is offering the luxury and convenience of chartering a Private Yacht in Greece and making it affordable for our travelers!

We are visiting small charming islands, like Ios, Milos, Naxos, Kimolos, Sifnos and Serifos... where most tourists never venture and cruise ships don't visit. In addition to these small islands, we are visiting the most famous and iconic Islands- Mykonos and Santorini. We will visit fascinating sites of antiquity, swim in hidden coves, relax on postcard-perfect beaches, taste amazing home-cooked Greek food, enjoy a cooking class onboard and immerse ourselves with the Greek locals and break a few plates together! This is going to be an Amazing Trip of a Lifetime like never before... I hope you can join us on this extraordinary Greek Islands Yacht Tour!

• Experience the beauty & culture of 9 Greek Islands aboard the luxury 5-star Mega Yacht Elysium.

2025's Teatro del Silencio Concert marks the 20th Anniversary of his hometown concert in Lajatico Tuscany... Similar to the same concert in 2024, marked the 30th Anniversary of his career...

The 20th Anniversary 2025 Teatro del Silencio concert is expected to bring a similar line-up of celebrity guests to join Andrea Bocelli on stage.... These celebrity guests have not been announced yet for 2025, but I have been promised by the Bocelli family, they will be just as spectacular as the 2024 concert guests.

You will be in awe of the amazing experience we have planned on the day of the Bocelli concert. Fun Happenings Travel Group is working closely with the Bocelli family and Winery in Lajatico Tuscany to include an Amazing VIP Pre-concert Experience for our group!

The special afternoon includes a Welcome Meet & Greet with Bocelli family members, a wine tasting led by Alessio Bocelli (nephew of Andrea) held in the vineyards and an authentic 4-course Tuscan dinner, before our group is escorted to our VIP "POLTRONA" SEATS AT THE FAMOUS Andrea Bocelli Teatro del Silenzio concert in his hometown Amphitheater.

We are focusing on 4 regions in Italy with 3 Nights on Lake Maggiore, 2 Nights in La Spezia- the gateway to Cinque Terre, 4 Nights in Florence and ending with 3 nights in a Tuscan Villa...
