Your day-by-day itinerary Minus Icon

Day 1 - Athens → Denpasar / Bali

Departure from Athens via connecting flight to the enchanting island of Bali, Indonesia. A land of vivid contrasts and natural beauty, emerald rice terraces, majestic volcanoes, traditional villages, and people with genuine smiles.

Colorful temples, sacred rituals, handcrafted art, and the scent of tropical gardens compose a serene and inspiring welcome from the very first moment.

 

Day 2 - Denpasar → Nusa Dua

Arrival in Bali and transfer to your hotel in Nusa Dua, one of the island’s most elegant coastal areas, renowned for its luxury resorts, calm waters, and golden beaches.

Enjoy free time to unwind and ease into the tranquil rhythm of the island.

Overnight stay in Nusa Dua.

 

Day 3 - Nusa Dua → Excursion to Taman Ayun & Tanah Lot Temples

Morning departure for a visit to Taman Ayun Temple, the “Temple in the Beautiful Garden,” built in 1634 and surrounded by a wide moat that makes it appear to float on water.

Continue to Tanah Lot Temple, Bali’s most iconic sea shrine, majestically perched atop a rock formation rising from the Indian Ocean.

This sacred site is particularly stunning at sunset, when the horizon glows and the waves embrace the cliffs, a moment where sea, light, and silence come together in perfect harmony.

Return to the hotel for overnight stay.

 

Days 4 – 5 - Nusa Dua, Leisure Days

Two full days devoted to rest, sea, and simple pleasures.

With its turquoise waters and soft white sand, Nusa Dua is the perfect setting to unwind, whether you spend the day swimming, strolling along the shore, or simply basking under the tropical sun.

For the adventurous, the nearby coral reef invites you to explore its vivid underwater life through diving or snorkeling.

If you prefer a slower pace, wander through small boutiques, taste the fragrant flavors of Balinese cuisine, or indulge in a traditional Balinese massage, an experience that captures the island’s spirit of balance and renewal.

Here, time seems to slow down, and serenity becomes second nature.

 

Day 6 - Nusa Dua → Barong Dance → Monkey Forest → Kintamani Volcano → Tegalalang Rice Terraces → Ubud

The day begins with a performance of the Barong Dance, a vibrant retelling of the eternal struggle between good and evil, one of Bali’s most emblematic artistic traditions.

Next, visit the Ubud Monkey Forest, a lush 12-hectare sanctuary in the village of Padangtegal, where playful macaques roam freely among towering trees and hidden temples draped in moss.

Continue to Kintamani Volcano, with its breathtaking view over Lake Batur, a vast caldera of deep blues and greens, among the most photographed landscapes on the island.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the volcanic scenery before heading to the Tegalalang rice terraces, where sculpted hills, small waterfalls, and endless green layers form one of Bali’s most iconic vistas, a perfect harmony between human hands and nature.

In the afternoon, travel to Ubud, the island’s artistic and cultural heart.

Check in at your hotel and take some time to relax.

Overnight stay in Ubud.

 

Day 7 - Ubud, Day at Leisure

Ubud is the soul of Bali, a place where art, nature, and spirituality blend in perfect balance. Nestled among rice terraces, tropical forests, and deep ravines, it radiates a calm that words can barely capture.

Today is yours to enjoy the town at your own pace: browse through artisan boutiques, wander along flower-lined alleys, or unwind with an authentic Balinese massage in one of the area’s serene spas.

For those seeking adventure, you may opt for an elephant ride or white-water rafting on the Ayung River, an exhilarating experience framed by lush jungle scenery.

Overnight stay in Ubud.

 

Days 8 – 9 - Nusa Dua, Leisure Days

Return to Nusa Dua and check in to your beachfront resort.

The next two days are dedicated entirely to relaxation, enjoy the sea, the pool, or the resort’s world-class facilities.

However, you choose to spend your time, Bali rewards you with a sense of harmony and timeless peace.
