Athens, Delphi region, Meteora region, Thessaloniki, extension to Crete Island

Welcome to Greece—a country of historical heroes, mythological legends, and iconic landscapes. Your epic saga begins in Athens, a city as beautiful as it is old. Then, escape the city to Delphi, where Alexander the Great asked the oracle of Apollo who would be the fairest conqueror of them all (spoiler: it was him). Explore the undiscovered capital of northern Greece, marvel at the snowcapped peaks of Mt. Olympus, and eat feta everywhere in between. This is Greece. This is history come to life.

Due to national and/or religious holidays, some sites may be closed and your itinerary may be modified on the following dates in 2026: March 25, April 12, May 1. These dates fluctuate each year—please contact us for more information.
