Greece Art architecture Trips

Lots of walking on uneven pavement especially at the ruin sites. Must be mobile and steady on elevated grades. Need good walking shoes. Hats and suntan lotion needed with the intense sun. A long bus ride from Athens to Thessaloniki, but stops made along the way at the battle site of Thermopylee & Ancient Dion. Lots of history and ancient sites on this tour.

The mainland component of this tour was great, but the ferries out to the islands were pretty challenging with so many people and never ending chaos embarking and disembarking the ferries. However, once on the islands (Santorini and Mykonos) it was indeed a magical experience.

Chose that tour so I could experience the mainland of Greece as well as the islands. Probably would have preferred 2 nights on each island instead of 3 with Crete included. The mainland was beautiful with so much history and excellent local guides. The weather was perfect in May. Would definitely recommend the tour!

We liked that we were 2 nights at every location. We were able to see & experience local sites you can't see from a cruise ship excursion. This wasn't the typical tourist islands, but so much more of the ancient historical areas of Greece. Visiting the Archaeologica historical sites was most intriguing. Also, got to experience the local life, like beekeeping, olive oil making & local dining.

Our Insight Vacations Greece Undiscovered tour was absolutely outstanding and exceeded our expectations in every way. What made this tour so special was that it went beyond the typical Greek highlights and took us through incredible regions of mainland Greece and Crete that we may never have discovered on our own. From the ancient wonders of Athens, Delphi and Mycenae to the beautiful mountain villages, lakeside towns and stunning Venetian harbours, every day offered something different and memorable. The itinerary was extremely well balanced, combining fascinating history and archaeology with authentic local experiences, amazing food and breathtaking scenery. The local guides were knowledgeable and passionate, bringing Greece’s history and culture to life in a way that made every site meaningful. The hotels were excellent, the coach was comfortable, and everything was organised seamlessly. We especially loved the time spent in Crete, which was a real highlight of the trip. The included local experiences, food tastings and cultural encounters made us feel connected to the places we visited rather than just passing through them. Most of all, our Travel Director and driver were exceptional. Their professionalism, knowledge, care and sense of humour made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a tour that combines ancient history, spectacular scenery, authentic Greek culture and premium travel experiences, I highly recommend Greece Undiscovered. It truly was a trip of a lifetime.

A very pleasant trip around the Peloponnese. The hotels were better than expected. The leader, George was well organised and looked after us very well. The driver, also named George, was extremely safe, he kept his luxurious Mercedes van spotlessly clean, in and out. He was friendly, generous and had a good sense of humour. We really enjoyed our trip, the experience and, cherry on the cake, the weather was excellent. Thank you Explore.
