Start and end in Athens, the "Hiking The Greek Isles" tour is a guided active and outdoor trip that takes 14 days. You will travel through Santorini, Athens, Oia and 3 other destinations in Greece. "Hiking The Greek Isles" is a small group tour which includes accommodation in hotels, transport, meals and others.
Our Hiking the Greek Isles tour begins and end in the iconic capital of Athens, a city steeped in ancient history, and serving as the perfect hub to transport between the idyllic Greek Islands.
Much of Greece is timeless and enduring, and our tour highlights this. From the early days of a walking tour around Athens, we will explore the foundations of a city that began in the 5th century BC with ideas on democracy, philosophy, architecture, and arts that were cultivated and thrived to the point of being exported to the world.
By ferrying to the outer islands,* we leave behind the hustle and bustle of the capital in favour of a serene and picturesque countryside. Scattered churches and pleasant beaches are found across the island of Amorgos, where stunning sunsets cast long shadows across the plentiful olive groves.
Ancient trails are drenched in panoramic views, where valleys and villages emerge beneath rocky hillside vantage points. Ruined windmills rest on craggy ridgelines, while dazzling white monasteries stand above stunning sea cliffs.
From Amorgos we venture to Naxos, a green and fertile island that happens to be the Cyclades largest. Our city tour of Chora will include Venetian inspired architecture, and Byzantine chapels which will clearly demonstrate its long heritage.
While hiking the Greek countryside, we will encounter ancient statues dating back to the 6th century BC, as well as folklore rich villages found dotted along the green hillsides.
Our tour also stops in Santorini, famous for its spellbinding beauty and whitewashed villages found around the ancient caldera. Also known as the island of churches, wine, and donkeys, our strolls along the caldera rim will be full of fascinating stops and scenic vistas.
Our trip ends on Tinos, an important pilgrimage centre for Greek Orthodox members, but beyond the churches are Venetian palaces and stunning views of the blue Aegean Sea.
With a stop in a local taverna, and a chance to taste local homemade cheeses, honey and sausages, our Greek Isles tours comes to an end alongside broad smiles and many miles under our feet.
* The final order of islands may vary depending on season and ferry schedules.
