We had the best time on the Greek Caique Cruise. The itinerary was fantastic and Thanos knew everything and everyone. We swam off the boat every day and when we docked in various ports Thanos was able to point us to the best places to go, organise taxis for us if necessary and in the evening recommend the best restaurants.
This 10-day Greece tour balances some of Greece's most impressive and fascinating ancient sites around Athens, Olympia and Delphi with the spectacular monasteries at Meteora and one of the Mediterranean's most beautiful and interesting islands, Santorini.
We start with a tour of Athens itself, taking in the ancient sites of the Acropolis and some of modern Athens below as well. Next we head west towards Mycenea with several stops and some scenic coastal scenery along the way. Our guide will provide explanations about Greek history and mythology, relating them to the places you're visiting. Its an amazing feeling seeing the actual places where heroes and heroines from mythology played out their stories. Our next stop is the lovely Mediterranean village of Nafplion which nestles at the foot of a cliff overlooked by the ramparts of the Palamidi Fortress. Next we head to Olympia, birthplace of the Olympics and more ancient sites, before we tour the temples and ruins at Delphi on the way. Our final major stop in mainland Greece is then to see the amazing cliiftop monasteries and breathtaking scenery of Meteora, before we head back to Athens.
We take to the ferry next and sail into the Aegean Sea to the volcanic island of Santorini. The island was created in its present form by a huge volcanic eruption over 3,500 years ago that created a large crater which is now filled by the sea forming a huge bay surrounded by steep cliffs and coloured lava pebble beaches. The island is full of small villages with narrow winding alleys and whitewashed buildings that are fascinating to hike through. There are also hot springs, wineries and the remaining active volcano itself to discover. We have a couple of days here to relax and explore the island before returning to Athens to finish our tour.
This is a group tour that runs throughout the year, staying in comfortable hotels at around the 4-star level. We can also arrange the tour privately if you would prefer not to join a group.

The guides answered all my curious questions with great patience. This is a very important detail because this patience is not usually shown in tours with a rich itinerary like this tour. You deserve a big 5 points from me.
Begin with a night in Athens, once the heart of Ancient Greece, a powerful civilization and empire. You will quickly see that the city today is still dominated by 5th century BC landmarks such as the Acropolis. You will embark the cruise from here and sail towards Mykonos, and island with many beautiful beaches and world class entertainment. Sail to Türkiye and visit Kusadasi, a beach resort town on Türkiye’s western Aegean coast. The seafront promenade, marina and harbor are all lined with hotels and restaurants to greet visitors. Visit the significant Christian pilgrimage site of Patmos; its Cave of the Apocalypse is where John of Paramos is said to have written the Book of Revelations. In Rhodes and Heraklion, see ancient ruins and archaeological sites that date back to a time of medieval towns and fortresses. Your trip ends after a visit to Santorini, known for its whitewashed buildings, dazzling panoramas and romantic sunsets.
I booked my honeymoon in Greece and Turkey and it was a fantastic experience! All the hotels, guides, and activities they recommended were excellent! Also, having all the internal transportation taken care of removes a lot of the trip's stress and makes it much more enjoyable. Highly recommended.
We like visiting cultural places and both Turkey and Greece are full of cultural places! Our Turkish guide Nadir was very informative, outgoing, kind and a pleasure to be with is. Our Turkish part was fully escorted, while in the Greek islands we were mostly alone on the beach.So I recommend this tour for a good balance between relaxing time on the beach and visiting To do. The overall arrangement was excellent and the experience we had was truly amazing and will never be forgotten
It is a trip of a lifetime! Nicely proportioned land vs sea balance, and very efficiently planned itinerary. We were also lucky to have a small group mostly solo travelers. We had so much fun. Highly recommend.
