I was very lucky to be on the first edition of this tour in May 2024! It was great introduction to all the countries along the coast between Italy and Greece.
Itinerary was the perfect mix of capital cities and seaside towns, with plenty of options for swimming, city walks, and visiting historic sites.
Our guide Jude was passionate and knowledgeable about all the countries we visited, and about being a Topdeck guide in general and this really helped everyone get the most out of the tour!

I summed it up in my comments about my two awesome CEOs, Oliver and Vas, but I would just like just like to add that this was my first trip with G Adventures, and (fingers crossed) definitely not my last! Greece is a beautiful, complex, and diverse country, and I'm so grateful to have experienced it through this tour. Exploring the lush forests of Corfu, seeing the ancient ruins in Athens, walking through a village in Naousa, Paros, visiting the beaches of Ios, and of course, the ending in the iconic town of Fira in Santorini, all of these incredible experiences and memories were only enhanced by my CEOs, and my travel groups. I honestly couldn't ask for more out of a trip. To this day, I'm still a little amazed that I got to experience it at all. What a gift!

Overall I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to everyone! Having everything organised for you, getting unique tips from your CEO to make the most of your trip and historical context from them of where you are and what's around you, and enjoying it with a group of new friends is the perfect combo! The only downside was my experience at Stalis Hotel unfortunately.
