Greece: Close to Our Hearts

Our Greek team consists of experienced locals who have traveled extensively across Greece and have a genuine love for the country, its traditions, history, and people. We believe in encouraging sustainable travel and promoting more authentic itineraries. Mykonos and Santorini are very much worth seeing, but we'd love to show you Greece's other sides.

We are dedicated to offering a lesser-known experience to our guests. This is why we’ve also highlighted some carefully curated off-the-beaten-path tours. A perfect Greece trip can be a beautiful combination of both worlds, the world-famous and the undiscovered. Greece is a year-round tourist destination. Whether you're there to relax, swim, ski, eat, explore the history and cultural heritage, or celebrate your love, Greece has endless offerings.

Journey Through The Centuries

The ancient Greeks contributed significantly to philosophy, medicine, mathematics, science, astronomy, architecture, and all forms of art. These predominant influences continue to shape our lives. Greek artists created some of the ancient world's most spectacular architectural works, creating styles common today. Fittingly, Greece boasts a rich collection of some of the world’s most famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites. 

A trip to Greece entails an array of worldly experiences. Follow in the footsteps of the ancient forefathers, and climb up to the Acropolis of Athens, parts of which date back 5,500 years. Find out if the center of the world did actually exist here in Greece. Visit the ancient oracle of Delphi and discover the mysteries and tales revolving around this important archaeological and mystical site. Delve deeper into the fascinating realities of the Minoans, an advanced civilization doomed by the eruption of what became Santorini, by visiting Akrotiri, Greece's own Pompeii. Round up your experience by visiting Crete, their homeland, where these technologically advanced seafarers constructed remarkable palaces, especially at Knossos.

If the tales of legendary Alexander the Great spark your curiosity, then we invite you to follow in his footsteps and explore the north of Greece. Journey from Thessaloniki - named after Alexander’s half-sister Nike (victory) to Pella where he first set out on his world-changing campaign, to Vergina, home to royal tombs, including his father's. Greece is equally famed for its religious landmarks, many of which dot the country’s multifaceted landscape. Witness the magical soaring limestone pinnacles of Meteora, home to some of the world's most famous, and scenic, monasteries.

Over the course of centuries, Greece’s history has been shaped by numerous conquests and defeats. As a result, many historical characters have left their mark on the country’s cultural identity. One of these historical figures is Ali Pasha, a controversial Ottoman ruler whose name often appears in the stories of Epirus. In the capital of the region, Ioannina, his beheaded body was laid to rest (his head was sent to the Sultan of Constantinople, after a failed rebellion). Several landmarks in the coastal town of Parga also carry his name.

See The Best Islands

Greece is home to 6,000 islands. Even if you just focused on the 227 that are inhabited, you would still need more than a lifetime to explore Greece's archipelagos. Choosing the right island is a tricky task. This is why we've hand-picked a selection of our favorites to include in our Greek vacation packages. Naturally Santorini, the mecca of romance, with its postcard-perfect sunset views and unique wineries, and jet-set Mykonos, famous for its party beaches and glamorous nightlife, make the list. But we know that you simply cannot resist a quintessential Greek experience.

The Iconic Rocky Cyclades

The Cyclades islands (Mykonos, Santorini, Naxos, Paros, and more) are known for their rocky, barren landscapes and perfect whitewashed cubic houses with colorful doors and shutters. This architectural style has inspired artists, designers, and photographers across the globe. The largest of the Cyclades islands, Naxos offers laid-back vibes, picturesque traditional mountain villages, pristine beaches, and fantastic cuisine. It is also a perfect base for visits to nearby islands. One such neighbor, Paros, offers a vibrant nightlife, yet is more affordable than Mykonos. Paros also boasts a selection of fun-packed activities for the whole family. We highly recommend experiencing the surrounding islets and coves on a full-day sailing trip. The Aegean Sea's refreshing turquoise waters and raw natural beauty guarantee a rewarding experience.

Verdant Ionian Corfu

In contrast to the stark Cyclades, the Ionian islands are blessed with a luscious green landscape, with hilltops covered by pines and olive tree groves. The architectural style on these islands is notably inspiring. Grand mansions, royal palaces, and Venetian fortresses are just a few of Corfu’s highlights. This Ionian jewel is also wonderful to experience during Greek Orthodox Easter. The local customs of the Corfiot Easter are unlike anywhere else. 

Diverse and Vibrant Crete

Wild, beautiful, and authentic Crete is almost a country in its own right! Greece's largest island, this place deserves at least a week. The charming Old Town of Chania, with its cobblestone streets and gorgeous architecture, is a popular travel destination. We urge you to explore eastern Crete too, especially the towns of Agios Nikolaos and Heraklion. The island is characterized by spectacular landscape, with breathtaking beaches, gorges and plateaus, traditional small villages, and imposing historical monuments. Escape the crowds and find your own little paradise in this unpretentious corner of Crete.
