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.

Excellent trip with a superb tour leader (Aris Pantieras). The trip was very well organised and our days were full visiting many interesting and beautiful sites as well as learning about bees and Ouzo. Travelling in spring was ideal and I enjoyed the company of our diverse travelling companions.

As seasoned independent travellers we were hesitant to book our first group tour. Upon completion of this trip any concerns were unfounded. Overall this trip met or exceeded our expectations in every way. Mia, our trip leader, was outstanding. We would not hesitate to book again.

This was my first trip as a solo traveler and I was very satisfied with the planning and organization that went into the trip and impressed by our tour leader’s hospitality and knowledge. Chryssa made my trip worthwhile. November was the perfect time to visit Greece, as tourist areas weren’t as crowded and I was able to admire the beautiful landscapes of Greece and archeological sites with ease.
