Greece is a great food destination for vegetarians. With wonderful fresh produce and many delicious local dishes, you'll have a great time on this trip. For vegans we recommend reviewing the itinerary and inclusions to ensure that you will be able to fully participate and enjoy this trip. We also have many other trips to Greece which can accommodate a range of dietary requirements.

Summer temperatures can reach 40°C or higher in some areas, so it's important to use sun protection, wear layers to combat the heat and drink plenty of water. Please carefully consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability to that season.

While we start and finish our trip in Athens, there is no time for sightseeing in this city once the trip has commenced. If you wish to explore Athens' wealth of historic sites, such as the Acropolis, the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Tomb of the Unknown Solider, we recommend that you extend your stay here either before or after your trip.

Brilliant trip for foodies ! Greece was a stunningly beautiful country to explore. We travelled in peak season, however in the usual Intrepid style we visited places off the beaten path so we felt like we had most of it to ourselves.
Of the 13 trips we have done with Intrepid so far this is up there as one of the best ❤️

I would highly recommend Intrepid.
It is well organized small group tour with professional, passionate Leaders. You will get an insight into the culture of a country and it's people that you won't experience anywhere else.
