We got so much more out of it than what we expected for such good value. Matt is a very intelligent, helpful, professional and diplomatic tour leader and we wish him well for any of his future plans. The coach driver Babios was superb as was the coach.
Mykonos and Santorini were beyond beautiful! I was impressed by how smooth everything went from start to finish. The tour was well-paced, and we got to see so much without feeling rushed.
Discover Greece’s extreme beauty on this 11-day tour travelling from ancient Athens uncovering centuries of civilization at the astounding archaeological sites Acropolis, Olympia and Meteora; soaking up the gorgeous beaches of Zakynthos and the outstanding scenery of the Peloponnese before discovering the magical island of Santorini.
The trip was for my wife and I’s honeymoon. It was the best trip I have been on. Very well structured and organised. Our trip manager was so helpful and informative. She was lovely and made the trip very special for wife’s birthday mid tour. The Acropolis site, Meteora and Delphi were incredible sights and experiences. Stepping out of our comfort zone at the Bee farm was so much fun and very informative. The accommodation was more than suitable and we would happily do this trip over and over again. Definitely something that my wife and I will not forget. The people we met and the memories we made are priceless.

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.

I had an amazing time. Both trip managers were wonderful, super helpful and lots of fun. I really enjoyed all the places we went and the activities. Going in May was definitely a good idea, the weather was warm but not too hot and the crowds were an okay size.
