This short 7-day Greece tour provides a great introduction to Athens and some of the surrounding highlights from ancient Greek history as well as getting a taste for the country's spectacular coastal and mountain scenery. 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 Olympia, birthplace of the Olympics and more ancient sites, before we head back towards Athens with a stop to tour the temples and ruins at Delphi on the way.
This is a group tour that runs weekly all year round, 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.
This 5-day Greece tour is ideal for travellers looking to get a taste for the history and beauty of Greece in a short time and in comfort but on a reasonable budget.
Starting in the Greece's historical capital of Athens, we'll make our way to some of its top attractions, such as the Panathenaic Stadium - the world's only fully-marbled stadium, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian's Arch, the Parliament, Constitution Square, the National Library and the Acropolis - which is home to a selection of Greece's most significant architectural monuments.
After spending some time in Athens, we'll travel to Delphi, exploring its archaeological site which is home to the last remains of the sanctuaries of Apollo and Athena Pronaia. We'll also travel to the small town of Kalambaka - which is often known as the gateway to Meteora. We spend time exploring the spectacular mountain scenery of Meteora, visiting some of the monasteries which are perched on mountaintops and on the sides of cliffs, some seeming completely inaccessible.
This is a 'seat on coach' departure, shared with other operators. Extensions to the tour are available if you’d like to head into the Aegean Sea to visit a Greek island or two. Please contact us for details.
I referred to this tour company for a last minute service and Anthony was unbelievable helpful and informative. He attended to my needs in a very timely manner and was very professional the entire time. overall a 10/10 experience. Someone give Anthony a raise!
It was a great trip -- beautiful stone villages, friendly locals, tasty Greek meals, and very scenic walks every day. It was indeed physically challenging but well worth the effort!

Spiros was a breath of fresh air, his love and knowledge of the island was exceptional. I learnt more from his wisdom about Corfu in the first 4 days than I had the the 25 years I've been visiting Corfu.
The places we visited were an explosion of the senses from breathtaking views to the scent of the herbs and flowers in the woodlands, along with ancient Olive Groves. Walking the complete trail was tough, but worth every blister.
Thanks to Spiros and Marcella this was a truly magical and memorable trip.

This was my first tour with Explore and it was simply awesome. One thing the Tour Leader did was ask if he wanted to make dinner reservations for the group. This was a great way of bonding people, and we all became good friends.
I was most impressed with the archeological sites, where Guides provided us with detailed information. One thing I've been talking to friends about was how our everyday words came from Greek, such as stadium came from a word that meant stand. Those little gems sparkled as we walked through the Gymnasium in Olympia.
