This trip was amazing! We got to see so much and discover places in Greece that I never would’ve known to explore. Getting to spend time in mountains and by the sea was such a great mix.

Highlights

Athens: Get stuck into Athens with a wander through the city’s ancient-meets-modern streets, including entry to the legendary Acropolis.

Delphi: Take some time to visit a long held family run Beekeeping business in Delphi and learn all about the benefits that bees bring to the environment. View the bees and discover how honey is produced in this tradition that dates all the way back from Ancient Greece.

Zagori: Today we’ll visit Ioannina and see the Monastery of Agios Panteleimon.

Parga: We'll stop by the picturesque town of Parga, known for its Venetian flair and colourful streets. Feel free to grab lunch at a local cafe and soak in the seaside beauty & all its history.

Nemea: Nemea’s been making wine for 3,500 years — and it shows. At family-run Palivou Estate, you’ll walk through organically farmed vines, then step inside the winery and into the moody ageing cellar lined with French and American oak barrels. Then wrap up with a guided tasting of award-winning wines made from native Greek and international grapes, with the kind of flavours that’ll make you get why Nemea has a reputation.
