Beginning and ending in Athens, this 8-day tour covers some of Greece's most picturesque sights.
The Greece tour starts with a comprehensive guided tour of Athens, which features famous historical landmarks including the Acropolis and its Parthenon - a former temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patron.
Leaving the city behind, our Greece tour heads to the volcanic island of Milos, with its glistening waters and pristine beaches just some of its main attractions. From Milos, we'll make our way to the island of Santorini is next on the list, renowned for its rows of whitewashed houses and blue-capped churches built into the cliffside.

The itinerary above is subject to change based on the Greek island ferry schedules. While it does not happen often, sometimes ferry schedules are changed without notice and ferries may also be cancelled completely due to poor weather conditions. In this event the program may need to be adjusted and you may end up spending more or less time in one location than originally planned. This is the nature of travel between the islands and we thank you for your patience and understanding in the rare event of this occurring.
Unlike many of the Greek islands, Santorini is an all year round destination, and remains a very attractive and interesting place to visit whatever time of year it may be. However, some hotels, shops, restaurants and attractions do close during the winter months (November to March). During this time we may use boutique style guesthouses located closer to the centre of Fira so that you are as close as possible to what is still open.
This is a sample tailor-made tour and can start on any day except Wednesday through the seasons shown below. Prices are based on 2 people travelling, with customised pricing on request for larger numbers and adjusted itineraries.

Our tours are designed to include all that you need to enjoy a really special time in the destination youre visiting. However, we do also offer some extra options to complement the tour and add some additional sightseeing or activities, or some extra time at either end of the tour.
All accommodation based options (e.g. Single supplements, extra nights, cruise upgrades) should be booked and paid for in advance so that we can make the appropriate arrangements. Other options may either be booked and paid for in advance or while you are on the tour, though we recommend booking in advance to ensure there are no issues with availability.
Many options are priced the same throughout the year, but some may incur single or high season supplements - full details are given on the tour reservation form or on request.
