Is this trip right for you?
verified
Pickpocketing can be an issue in Athens, especially on public transport. If you keep your valuables concealed and secure while travelling on the metro or bus, you should have no problems.
verified
Summer temperatures in Greece can reach up to 40°C, so you'll need to be able to cope with the heat if you're visiting during the warmer months. Please consider the time of year and your suitability for visiting during that season.
Itinerary
Explore the historic icons from Athens to Olympia and get an authentic taste of Greek culture
Much like baklava, Greece is layered with history so rich that the only way to do it justice is with a knowledgeable local leader. Travelling from Athens to the Meteora Mountains and back along the coast, you’ll learn how Meteora’s hanging monasteries protected modern Hellenic culture from invading Turks, uncover the stories of the Oracle of Delphi and explore the site of the first Olympics. With Exclusive Experiences – like visiting beekeepers to discover the secrets of Greek honey – and a Feature Stay in a traditional stone mansion, this well-rounded adventure brings Greece’s past and present to life.

Great trip that took us to some special hidden parts of Greece. Dimitsana was the highlight and walking just that small section of the Menalon Trail along with the visit to a special monastery was amazing. Sitting in my hotel window listening to the shepherd and his flock was unique. I will be back

If you want to learn a lot more about Greek history and Greece in general, his tour does that very well. You cover a lot of territory in 7 days. Our tour leader, Maria-Christina was terrific and very helpful and approachable as was Vagellis, our driver, who performed admirably. More private time at the ruins than the short amount allowed would have been appreciated. Thanks for a great trip.

Absolutely loved our Premium Greece tour. The itinerary, accommodations, included activities, and local guides were all excellent. Eva, our tour leader, was one of the best we've had, and a wonderful group of fellow travelers and near-perfect weather helped to make this one of our favorite trips ever.

This premium mainland Greece trip was everything I had hoped for and more. This trip is perfect for anyone with a love for history, archeology, civilization, art, and food. I read a brief history of ancient Greece by Dominic Haynes and it helped me immensely get the background/context on pretty much all the sites we visited, making the experience more enjoyable. Our tour leader (Eva) and my fellow travellers will have a special place in my heart.

The tour was an 8 day immersion in the culture and history of Greece. We experienced everything from traditional cuisine to ouzo tasting all while learning about the history and culture of Greece including ancient myths to modern revolutions. Rugged mountains, turquoise waters and hilltop monasteries inspired a new love of all things Greek. A truly remarkable eight days that I will never forget.
