Vegan on the Aegean
Athens & Santorini, Greece
Vegan on the Aegean
Greece is calling and in 2026 we’re answering with another unforgettable adventure! This time, we’re thrilled to welcome Richard Makin of School Night Vegan as our special guest host for his second time on this whirlwind holiday experience. He’ll be leading a signature cooking demonstration, sharing his take on modern veganism, and soaking up the sun with us all week long.
We’ll start things off in lively Athens, staying at the sleek and centrally located Boutique Hotel L’Avventura. After three delicious days, we’ll jet off to the dreamy island of Santorini for four nights of whitewashed charm, staying at the beautiful Kallos Imar Hotel in Santorini where we’ll have the property all to ourselves, just as we like it.
This week-long journey includes some seriously iconic moments: exploring the Vegan Life Festival in Athens, visiting the legendary Acropolis, hiking the caldera trail from Fira to Oia and taking an island tour of Santorini, and carving out plenty of time for poolside lounging, meaningful connection, and spontaneous adventure.
Between the sun-soaked views, rich history, next-level Greek vegan cuisine, and a fabulous crew of like-minded travelers, this is shaping up to be another epic chapter in our Getaway story.

RICHARD MAKIN
Richard Makin is School Night Vegan! “As a long-time foodie, I had developed some pretty good cooking skills, but turning vegan was a whole new challenge! I had to retrain myself to cook without animal products. It was a surprisingly rewarding learning curve!
