ROAD TRIP GREECE BEACH CABRIO CAR copy.j

Road trip in Greece

Athens-mycenae-epidaurus delphi-meteora .

It is all about the journey! 

A road trip for those who want to see all of the sites of Greece, but don't want to be trapped on a bus for days.  

This 10 night trip will take you through the eons. Across beautiful mainland Greece. From Athens to the Arcadian mountains. From the fertile Olympian plains to the mysterious monasteries of Meteora.

You'll begin with 2 nights in Athens. Here so many concepts that we still hold dear were born. Theater, music, democracy. You'll walk in the ancient Agora where Socrates and his students debated. You will witness the Doric columns of the Parthenon from up close. A visit to the Museum of Cycladic art will give you unique insight into thousands of years recorded history in the Aegean. Remarkable stone and clay artifacts from a time predating all the known civilizations of the Aegean.

The following morning, a rented car will be delivered to your hotel.

You'll load up and set off on the adventure of a life time.

Well planned, with only pleasant surprises. You begin your 8 night tour of the Greek mainland. 

A custom made road book in hand. You’ll have all everything you need to navigate from A to B.  

GPS coordinates. Phone numbers. Information on the important sites, and the towns where you will be spending the nights. Recommendations for dining, shopping and interesting little detours that you would never find on your own.  

The first destination on your road trip is the mountain citadel of King Agamemnon. Mycenae is the remarkable fortress with the famous Lion’s gate. From this gate, long haired Achaeans launched their 10 year war on Troy.   

The coming evenings will be pleasantly spent in the sea side town of Nafplion. The first capital of Greece after the war of independence against the Ottoman Turks in the 1820’s. The history of this period, still very visible in the elegant buildings. Colorful squares and stone walkways adorned with potted flowers and lemon trees. Imposing Palamidi fortresses guards the city from the mountain above.

   While in Nafplion, one must visit the ancient theater of Epidaurus. The best preserved of its kind in the world. To this day, thousands watch ancient tragedies that play out on the stone stage in the summer months and marvel at the acoustic engineering of the structure. 

From Nafplion you venture west.

Over the Arcadian Mountains covered in pine and plane trees. One of the oldest cradles of the Hellenic peoples, the mythical domain of the goat legged Pan. He terrorized these hills with his shrill flute, chasing the river nymphs deep into the forest.

The mountains are studded with remote villages, winding mountain trails, and mystic caves. You can stop along the way to enjoy the pristine countryside and enjoy a delicious lamb lunch at one of the roadside tavernas. 

You’ll reach the plains of Olympia, near the Ionian shores. You can rest from the journey before you explore the sacred site. Here, the concept of noble athletic competition was first conceived and so many eons ago. Since 776 BC and for almost 1000 years, the finest athletes of the Greek speaking world would gather here. From Marseilles  to Miletus. From the far shores of the Black sea to the Libyan gulf, they would converge on this site every 4 years to honor Olympian Zeus. Competing in running, fighting, chariot races and more “civilized” sports like the discus and the javelin. The victors were welcomed as heroes in the cities.

From Olympia you’ll continue north. Across the modern day miracle of engineering which is the bridge at Rion-Antirion. It spans the narrow entrance to the Corinthian gulf, connecting the Peloponnese to central Greece.

The day’s driving will take you along winding coastal roads. You can stop at any one of the quaint little fishing villages to stretch your legs and enjoy a Greek coffee at a sea side kafeneio. A well-deserved break for lunch in yet another historical sea side port, Nafpactos.

Once known as the naval stronghold of Lepanto, off this coast, the Spanish and Venetian fleets laid waste to the Ottoman navy. The spectacular naval battle took place in 1571 and littered the sea with wreckage and fire.  So great was the call to war, that it was answered by none other than Miguel De Cervantes. A bronze statue of him guards the gate of the fortified port.

The afternoon will find you checking in to the sleepy village of Galaxidi. Here you can wind down with a dip in the sea and an evening stroll in the colorful port. Each night, it comes alive with the laughter of children and the chatter of friendly locals who step out to enjoy the sea breeze.

There are many ways that you can spend the next day immersing in the local lifestyle. You can go out to sea on a traditional kayiki with one of the local fishermen. Hopeful of a bountiful catch. You can linger in the town and partake in a hands on cooking class. An introduction to the wealth of local tastes and scents. One more-well deserved afternoon of soaking in the sun at one of the beach bars on the outskirts of the town.   

After taking some time to live among the locals, you will leave Galaxidi behind and continue your historical quest. Stopping first at the spectacular Oracle of Apollo at Delphi. Just like pilgrims of old, you will walk the stone steps that lead to his sanctuary. Passing the stoas and treasuries where the Greek cities offered gifts to the sun god. The ruins of Apollo’s temple appear proudly against the rocky cliffs as you ascend.  The theater, and further up, the stadium carved into the side of the rock is an unforgettable sight. From here, you can marvel at the vast olive grove below, extending from the root of the mountain to the shimmering sea beyond. The silver olive leaves shining against the setting sun.

After consulting with the Oracle, you continue north across the alpine landscape of the Giona mountains. You will reach Thermopylae.

On this site, mighty king Leonidas and his heroic 300 Spartans stood against the hordes of invading Persians in 480 BC. Fighting to the last man, they held off the invaders for 3 days and nights. Giving valuable time to other Greek cities to prepare their defenses. His sacrifice to freedom is commemorated in a commanding monument near the battleground.

You can stop to reflect on the significance of this battle to world history. Without Thermopylae, there may never have been a Parthenon. There may never have been democracy.  Inspired and rested, you continue north. Deep into the Thessalian mainland.

By afternoon you will reach most unique rock formations in the world. Meteora. After some time to rest at your traditional lodging, you can select an elevated position across from the monasteries and prepare your lens.  This will be one of your most memorable sunset photographs.

The coming morning, you can drive up once more. This time to enter the 1000 year old monasteries and marvel at the fascinating feat of architecture. Like many a modern pilgrim, you can’t help but feel the serenity that emanates from this holy sanctuary.

From Meteora you will continue further north, into the Macedonian provinces of Greece. The ancient kingdoms of Phillip and Alexander the Great. Bordered to the south by Mount Olympus. To the east by the Thermaic Gulf. To the west by the sprawling Pindos Mountain range. In this land, Alexander amassed his vast army and set forth to liberate the Greek cities of the Ionian shores in. He brought the vast Persian Empire to its’ knees. Spreading with his passing, the Greek language and culture as far away as distant India.

In the village of Vergina, near the foot of Mount Olympus, lies the ancient burial ground of the Royal Macedonian bloodline. Here you can stop to see the exquisite bronze armor of King Phillip and his ivory tipped sword. The entrance to his monumental tomb has been preserved for thousands of years under the ceremonial burial mound.  

Thessaloniki, your ultimate destination on this epic road trip.

​Greeks refer to this romantic city with affection as “the Bride of the North”. You’ll arrive in the early afternoon. Just as all the shops open after the mid-day rest. The walkways come to life. The cafés on the coastal promenade fill with friends and couples who sip on their “freddo cappuccino” in the cool sea breeze. You’ll drop the car off and check into your hotel. You won’t need it anymore. All the exciting landmarks will be at your footstep.

The next two days should be spent blissfully taking in the wealth of Thessaloniki. The White Tower which stands at the edge of the sea, a testament to Greek suffering endured during 400 years of Ottoman reign. The Roman walls that encircle the city to the north, and the magnificent arch of Galerius.

Thessaloniki will not only reward your historical curiosity. The city will captivate your palette! A myriad of markets, authentic eateries, and pastry shops. 100 years ago, the Greek speaking people of Asia Minor and the Pontus were driven from their ancestral lands. They brought their culinary traditions here to Thessaloniki. And here they are kept alive and adored. A flaky breakfast pie with a sweet custard filling, Bougatsa is the only way to begin the day. Chopped into bite sized pieces. Sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar powder, served crisp and hot from the oven.

With these tastes and scents, your road trip in Greece has come to an end.

No need to return to Athens. Thessaloniki has an international airport from where you can catch an international flight to any destination.

Having seen the mainland like few have, the next visit to Greece will be devoted to the wonderful Aegean islands!

Adventure and Antiquities

Athens-crete-santorini.

For those that want tread the ancient paths. Hike the majestic gorges and sail Poseidon's glorious domain, this trip is for you! 

This 10 night trip will take you from the mystical caves of Mount Parnassus, to the remote shores of Crete. From the pearly sands of Elafonisi to the volcanic beaches of Santorini. 

Since you will arrive in Athens, why not seize the opportunity to take in the history?

A mere tour of the sites is adequate for most travelers but not for you. We'll combine your visit to the Parthenon with a stimulating bike ride along the coast of Athens.

You can race down Akti Poseidonos and reward yourself with a dip in Argosaronic sea.   

Before you leave the mainland for Crete, you’ll travel north. Outside the city, to the Oracle of Delphi on the slopes of Mount Parnassus.

High atop the temple, there lies a mythical cavern where Apollo slew the horrible Python. By this deed, he established Delphi as his sacred place of worship.

Most travelers will never explore this cave, nor tread the trail that leads through the tall pine and fir trees.

But you will!  

From the mainland of Greece to the majestic island of Crete. The largest and most impressive of the Greek isles.

The vibrant sea side towns of Chania and Rethymno will enchant you. Artisan gift shops. Sidewalk cafes and sea side tavernas open their doors to the discerning traveler.

Here you will enjoy the good life, like the locals.

Don't get too comfortable.

The deep and winding Samaria gorge awaits you for another stimulating trek.

Beginning in the Omalos highlands, it meanders down to the southernmost shores of Europe. This is the deepest gorge of the world and also the most diverse in fauna and flora.

After an invigorating hike, you will find yourself at a most welcoming sight. At the sandy beach of Agia Roumeli you will have time for a refreshing swim before you board the ferry back to "civilization" 

To balance your visit to Crete, you must visit the Minoan ruins of Knossos in Heraklion. This 4000 year old palace is the place of legends. Here the ancient adventurer Theseus battled the terrible Minotaur, freeing his fellow Athenians from the grip of mighty King Minos.  

Santorini will be the backdrop for act three of your Aegean adventure. 

Away from the crowded walkways of Fira, you'll race down exciting biking trails. Leading from the mountain village of Pyrgos, down to the volcanic black beaches near the lighthouse of Akrotiri. 

The pampered tourists will sail the volcanic lagoon on luxurious catamarans. Not you.

You'll brave the Aegean waves on a sea kayak, exposed to the elements, like a modern day Odysseus.  

The cruise ship crowds will pack themselves into the squares of Oia. Not you. You'll witness the famous sunset in solitude from the breathtaking trail on the edge of the cliffs. 

You will leave this fair country with much more than a suitcase of souvenirs.

You will have lived the adventure of a lifetime in Greece!

Want to see the cave where Zeus was born?

Many eons ago, the earth goddess Rhea fled from the heavens and came here to Crete. She gave birth to Zeus in a secluded cave on the Lasithi mountains. Hidden from his father’s wrath, Zeus grew to manhood. Nourished by the mythical goat Amalthea. Watched over by fierce Cretan warriors who would bang their shields to mask the baby’s cries.

Want to see where Theseus slew the Minotaur?

It’s here on Crete. At the vast palace of Knossos. Here the mighty King Minos kept the terrible beast locked in his basement labyrinth.

He forced the Athenians to send 7 young men, and 7 young maidens to Crete, every 7 years. They were devoured by the beast as a sacrifice for the city’s freedom.

This all came to an end when brave Theseus sailed to Crete to face the monster. The king’s daughter Ariadne fell in love with the hero. She helped Theseus find his way through the dark maze.  Confronting the Minotaur, he ran him through with his sword.

Your family can walk among the remains of this mythical palace.

Then admire the bronze and gold artifacts displayed in the nearby museum of Heraklion.

The colorful frescoes found on the walls of Knossos reveal what life was like on this island so many centuries ago.

The town of Rethymno is a medieval playground for all the family.

The cobblestone walkways hide a myriad of beautifully restored Venetian style homes. Inviting gift shops and restaurants where you can treat your family to them most authentic Cretan delicacies.

The island’s healthy dietary tradition is known the world over.

Rich in leafy greens, fresh fruits and vegetables. A host of indigenous herbs that can only be found here. Your children will be exposed to an amazing world of tastes and flavors that they will remember for a life time.

A week on Crete will not be enough to see it all. But you will leave the island completely transformed. Relaxed. Enriched by the myths, the music, the flavors and memories of your time in the sun.

You will leave Crete behind and begin your journey home. Knowing that you must come back for more!

Athens Weekend Getaway

Athens-hydra-aigina.

Countless direct flights from major cities make Athens Europe’s favorite weekend playground.

This 3 night trip will give you an introduction to the history and seductive lifestyle of Greece.

And some well-deserved time in the sun.

Your time is precious. Everything will be well planned. Your driver will be waiting for you at the airport with a sign in hand and a welcoming smile! He’ll drive you to your hotel where you can freshen up and get ready for the excitement!

We have many hotel options to choose from. Based on your preferences, or the time of year.

A romantic boutique? Something with a view of the moonlit Parthenon?

A trendy urban hotel, right in the middle of city? A roof top pool and bar where you can relax after a day of exploration?

Or perhaps a sea side resort on the Athenian coast? Somewhere where you can lay on the beach in the afternoons. Soaking in the sun, sipping on cocktails as the sun goes down over the Argosaronic gulf?

The evening is still young.

The vibrant Athenian night awaits you. A plethora of hot night spots from Plaka to Psiri. With music and food inspired by every culture of the world. The old commercial triangle of Athens, behind the Varvakeio market, is a new popular destination for night owls.

Fashionable wine bars and side walk cafés. Hidden among the century old flower shops, tinkerers and delicatessens. Half lit open squares. Tucked away behind quaint little churches where you can sit and enjoy your ouzo, a glass of wine. Conversing until the wee hours of the morning. Just like the Athenians have been doing since antiquity.  

The sun rises over Athens.

You hit the sleepy walkway of Ermou Street to partake in the breakfast rituals of Athenians. Feta cheese pie, spanakopita, crispy home-made phyllo pastry. Served hot out of the oven at favorite breakfast corners of Kapnikarea square. Orange juice, freshly squeezed from the sweetest oranges of Argolida.

A double espresso at the historical Athinaion Politiea café on Apostolou Pavlou walkway. The Temple of Hephaestus at your feet.  

The lazy morning behind you, you have the rest of the day to explore the history of Athens. The sacred rock of the Acropolis beckons you. Ascend and witness the timeless beauty of the Parthenon’s form.

The National Archeological museum, a short hop away is packed with priceless artifacts. Dating from the Neolithic period, to the latter Byzantine. Spanning thousands of years. You can walk through the corridors and see clay tablets with enigmatic astronomical depictions from the Minoan Civilization of Crete. Bronze and iron swords made by the mighty Mycenaeans. Marble epitaphs that once adorned the streets of Athens. Gold and silver jewelry found in countless burial grounds throughout the Attica.

A short drive from the city center, down the tip of the Attica peninsula, one more exciting surprise.

The magnificent temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounio! This majestic structure juts out from a barren cliff above the Aegean Sea. The perfect vantage point to enjoy the spectacular Athenian sunset.

On your way back to the city, you must stop at one of little tavernas along the coast. A modest feast on fresh octopus, calamari, washed down with icy sweet ouzo.

Your last day in Athens will not be spent in Athens!

The morning will find you on board the cruise to the magical islands.

The sun in your face, the Aegean breeze lifting your spirits high.

First stop, the tiny island of Hydra, loved by poets for the simplicity of the island life. To this day no cars are allowed on the island. But you do see the occasional donkey or horse toting a carriage on the coastal road. Elegant mansions reveal the island’s former wealth and naval heritage. Once the stronghold of very influential families, Hydra’s navy played an important role in the war of independence of 1820.

Aigina is your next port of call. Chosen by the gods, the majestic temple of Aphaia Athena   adorns  the tallest peak of the island.  Numerous tiny beaches stud the coast of Aigina. Sunny corners where you can enjoy a fresh choriatiki salad and a cool beer between dips in the sea.

Before the sun begins to fall, your ship returns to Athens.

The colorfully lit steps of Plaka await you for one more night of excitement and delicious Greek cuisine.

All good things do come to an end, and so must this trip.

In the morning your driver will deliver you back to the airport for your flight home.

This was just an introduction.

Greece will be waiting when you decide to come back for more!

Romance and relaxation

Athens-naxos-santorini.

There is more to Greece than what most tourists know!

This 10 night trip will expose you to the finest beaches in the Aegean and well as the most romantic hideaways of the Greek isles. 

You'll arrive in Athens. You can rest from your flight before you hitting the town for an evening of fun. Wandering the colorful walkways of the Plaka district, you will uncover trendy wine bars, side walk tavernas and popular night spots.

The intoxicating scents of Athens beckon you to join the excitement.

The following day can be devoted to the landmarks of Athens.

The Doric columns of the Acropolis. The bronze mask of Agamemnon at the National Archaeological museum. The city's history will unfold before your eyes.

Can this day get any better?

An afternoon drive along the Athenian coast will show you that it can.

Down at Cape Sounio you will witness the blazing Aegean sunset from the magnificent Temple of Poseidon. 

The next morning you will leave the bustling city behind.

A short flight will bring you to the fertile island of Naxos.

Our best kept secret in Greece.

This island is well known among us as the epitome of an authentic island escape.    

Miles of quiet sandy beaches with turquoise waters. Perfect for lazy days in the sun. Long moonlit strolls along the shore.  

A myriad of walking trails crisscross the gentle mountains. Leading through ancient olive groves and vineyards. Past forgotten stone villages, fortified monasteries.

They remind the traveler that for centuries these islands were raided by pirates and barbarians alike.   

Sweet Kitron liqueurs and artisan cheeses. Home grown meats and oils, locally caught sea food.

All among the finest in the world.

You can enjoy them in any of unpretentious local eateries frequented by the locals.

After this island hideaway, you will continue to the most famous of Aegean islands.

Santorini   

The epic volcanic eruption of 1600 BC has carved a breathtaking landscape. It is the most sought after honeymoon destination in the world. And not without reason. The staggering red cliffs, contrasting with the deep blue sea below.

Both come alive every evening with the exploding colors of the Aegean sunset.

Tucked away from the crowds, on your private balcony. Moonlit dinners and sweet Santorini wine. A dip in the plunge pool, high above the calm waters of the caldera.

Just the two of you. As it should be. 

No one should leave Santorini without sailing the caldera. While most will board the rickety crowded boats, you will do it in style!

A small intimate group on a luxurious catamaran.  A dip in the sulfuric waters of the volcanic lagoon. A relaxed view of the colorful cave dwellings from far below.

A delicious bbq dinner with yet more sweet Santorini wine. 

This will be the lasting memory that you will take with you on your journey back home.

Culinary delights of Greece

Athens-kea-naxos.

According to many a traveler, the most memorable part of their trip to Greece is not the Acropolis.

Nor the beaches of Mykonos.

It is the food!

​This 8 night trip will open up a world of tantalizing tastes and sensual scents that you never knew existed.

You will see the historical highlights, as you well should. But your focus will be on the culinary wealth of Greece.

You will arrive in Athens, and be picked up at the airport for the short hop downtown. You will have time to rest and freshen up before you hit the lively walkways of this urban metropolis.

Pastry shops, tavernas, and trendy eateries tucked away in every side street. Smoking souvlaki joints on every other corner.

Your guide will meet you at your hotel and lead you through this maze of temptations.

He’ll show you the finest spots that only the locals know.

A welcome ouzo. Ripe olives from Kalamata. Selected feta cheese from Kalavryta. These are the appetizers. The main course of roast lamb is just coming off the fire.

The following morning, you will venture up the sacred rock of the Acropolis to admire one of the wonders of the ancient world.

The famed temple of Athena - the Parthenon. This temple has interesting back story that will appeal to the foodie. Myth has it, that the first inhabitants of this city were confronted with a dilemma.

Both Athena  - the goddess of wisdom, and Poseidon - the sea god, wanted to lend their name to the city.

They competed for the honor of being the patron deity. Poseidon offered abundant wells and running waters to the people.

Athena gifted them with a simple olive tree. The people took her  up on the offer. Perhaps an indication of their enduring love for the godly delicacies of olives and olive oils.

Your guide will then walk you through the loud and vibrant meat markets. You’ll visit the spice and pastry shops, the open air vegetable stalls in the historical center of Athens.

Stopping every few meters to nibble on handmade spanakopita, crispy koulouri bread, spicy pastirma, graviera cheeses and the finest extra virgin olive oils, found only in Greece. Your day will end with a delectable sit down lunch near Monastiraki square. Authentic souvlaki and gyros, accompanied by homemade tzatziki, made with the freshest sheep milk yogurt.

The Aegean islands await you for the next part of your journey.

Your first island destination will be nearby Kea. Little known to international visitors, but a favorite weekend getaway for the Athenians. Kea has been revered since antiquity for the fresh sea food caught off her shores. A plethora of home grown grains, vegetables and herbs.

Not to mention the creativity with which the Kean’s prepare them. The numerous ancient terraces that line the hills are living testament to the wealth and productivity of the island.

In Athens you got by as acting like a "tourist".  Here it’s time to roll your sleeves up and “get your hands dirty”. Under the tutelage of Greece’s most revered food ambassador, you’ll collect wild herbs and leafy greens. You’ll learn how to knead fresh phyllo pastry and bread. And you will put it all together in a multitude of authentic Greek dishes. Free range rooster with wine sauce. Kean Paspala - a selection of pork meat cooked with ripe tomatoes and eggs. And above all, Astakomakaronada - fresh lobster with handmade spaghetti. All accompanied by the finest olive oils produced on the island. Washed down with a selection of rare Greek wines that will expand your knowledge of the ancient art viticulture.

Cooking and eating with good company in the morning. Relaxing on the beach in the afternoon. Strolling in the port town of Ioulida at night. This will be your island dream for the coming days.

From Kea, we set sail to Naxos.

The largest, most productive of the Cyclades islands. Another one of our secret Aegean gems. Naxos is the epitome of authentic Greek cooking and dining.

Known since antiquity for the sweet wines, extra virgin olive oils, but most of all for their artisan cheeses. Myth has it that the art of cheese making was handed down to the Naxians by Apollo himself, through his son, Aristaios. Graviera Naxou, slightly aged, chewy and salty. Made by a blend of cow, sheep and goat milk. One of the most sought after delicacies in all of Greece.

Your hosts will be a warm and cheery family of farmers and restaurateurs. They trace their origin on the island back to the time of the invading Venetian pirates. Their country estate near the mountain village of Apeiranthos will be the “school” where you will further your culinary endeavors. Under the shade of the hanging vines, you’ll learn the secrets of cheese making. How to tell when the olives are ripe and ready for harvest. How to prepare Patoudo - a dish of lamb stuffed with chard and fennel, aromatic herbs and garlic. A traditional eastern feast that should be enjoyed year round!

The hours between cooking, eating and carefree discussion with friends, will be spent relaxing on the sandy beaches of Agia Anna. If you feel the need to walk off the excess calories, you can follow the mountain trails of Naxos. From the villages in the lowlands, all the way to the peak of Mount Zas, the tallest tip of the Cyclades islands.

Can there be too much of a good thing? Perhaps not.

But your time in Greece must come to an end.

Be warned. Like so many visitors before you, this newly found love of authentic Greek food will pose a problem back home.

Try as you may, you will not be able to replicate the tastes, the textures, and most of all the scents of Greece at any Greek restaurant abroad.

These can only be experienced here, in Greece.

A hands on pottery workshop in Kerameikos will connect you with this timeless art. Giving you a new appreciation for the many clay vessels that you will see in the museums.

After Athens, your family will retreat to the village. Galaxidi.

This serene port town, a short drive from Athens, is our well-kept secret.  We don’t share it with international travelers. We reserve Galaxidi for our own weekend getaways. It will be your home for the coming week.

Experiential activities, specially designed to be fun and educational, will introduce you to the rural lifestyle of Greece.  

Activities that will stimulate the mind, the taste buds and the body. Bringing the family together in a memorable manner.

Hands on cooking classes. Introductory sailing courses.

Beginner lessons in the Greek language. We’ll discuss well known Greek myths, shedding new light on the hidden concepts.

We’ll enjoy fishing outings, leisurely hiking, and visits to local artisans and nearby archaeological  sites like Delphi.  

A balanced schedule, that will provide plenty of down time in the sun.  

​The crystal clear waters will cool you off at mid-day.  The little tavernas and quaint cafes will embrace you in the evenings.

The cobblestone walkways and flowered courtyards, a fantastic playground where you can flex your photography skills.

When you leave Greece, your compass will be realigned to show true meaning.

Learning. Enjoying the simple things in life. Sharing them with family.​

The ancients called it "Eudaimonia" "to live well, protected and looked after by a benevolent spirit."

Tailor-made trips for   Greece

Given that Greece was the subject of the first Rough Guide, you could say we’re biased. 

But in view of the fact that Greek beaches are one of the most beautiful in the world, and Greek islands hold thousands of years of fascinating history, our love for the country is more than justified.

Add to that fabulous Greek food and majestic mountains, and perhaps the question should be: “Why not  go to Greece?”

Ancient Greece Tours

Many Greece tours focussing on Ancient Greece tend to kick off in Athens . In the capital alone, you can explore thousands of years of history through the Acropolis  site, the National Archaeological Museum, and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.

Beyond the city, classical sites like Epidaurus, Olympia and Delphi await. And don't forget Meteora! Marvel at the monasteries perched atop towering cliffs and enjoy the breathtaking views.

Intrigued by ancient sites? Our Odyssey Adventure in Ancient Greece itinerary includes a host of ancient wonders, as does our Epirus and Athens trip.

Greece sailing tours

Bordered to the east by the Aegean Sea, to the south by Med, and to the west by the Ionian Sea, Greece sailing tours offer an exhilarating mix of adventure and sublime scenery.

With 200+ inhabited Greek islands to stop off on during your voyage, sailing tours also present opportunities to soak up culture and history.

Peloponnese tours

If you’re looking for natural beauty and cultural magnificence, the southern peninsula of the Peloponnese has your name all over it.

Peloponnese tours take in ancient sites like the Homeric palaces of Agamemnon at Mycenae, and the best-preserved Ancient Greek theatre at Epidaurus. 

Then there’s ancient Corinth, and the lush site of Olympia, which hosted the Olympic Games for a millennium.

Northern Greece tours

From the awe-inspiring monasteries of Meteora to Mount Olympus National Park, to  Thessaloniki — Greece’s second city — Northern Greece tours are nothing but diverse. 

Arguably the pinnacle of any visit to Northern Greece is visiting the Mount Olympus biosphere reserve. With exhilarating hiking trails and secret caves, it’s little wonder the Ancient Greeks named this iconic peak the "Mount of Gods”.

Greece food tours

Fresh and flavoursome, Greek food is undeniably delicious. And in good news for gourmands, whichever area of Greece you visit, you can take a food-focussed tour.

You could take cookery classes, go on a food-themed walking tour, or indluge in wine-tasting.

Ascend Mount Lycabettus. Explore the Acropolis. Amble charming Pláka. Bag beautiful souvenirs in the bazaar.

These are but a few of the best things to do in Athens , a city that’s stuffed with historic sites, and a dream destination to café-hop in the sunshine.

Celebrated for its sunsets and blue-domed churches, the island of Santorini is blessed with a variety of stunning beaches .

It’s also a wonderful destination for ramblers, with a hike between Firá and Oía winding through picturesque villages, and serving spectacular views of the Aegean Sea.

Set on an Island adventure? Our customisable Historical and Mythological Cyclades Islands trip includes Santorini and Mykonos.

Framed on all sides by the soaring crags of Parnassós, it’s easy to see why the Ancient Greeks believed Delphi was the centre of the earth.

Today the sacred precinct, amphitheatre and Castalian spring continue to exude an atmosphere that befits the gods.

Impossibly scenic, Mykonos is the most popular of the Cyclades Islands . 

Beloved by party people, its charming capital is still one of the most photogenic Cycladic towns.

Among the most awe-inspiring religious sites on earth, the six Orthodox monasteries of Meteora’s UNESCO World Heritage Site are perched on seemingly inaccessible rock pillars.

Appearing to defy all logic, the monasteries exude magic as they demonstrate remarkable feats of architectural engineering.

Ancient cities, the Aegean and a history like no other

Greece is a land of legends, mythological creatures and gods and goddesses. But it is also a county that lives very much in the present, its inhabitants filled with a lust for life who make the very most of this spectacularly beautiful place.

Exploring the country’s ancient roots is a highlight of any trip. Almost every city, town and village has a link to the past and the country’s formidable collection of historic sites span four millennia. Greece found itself under the rule of several empires, all of which have left their mark. The country is a rich tapestry of ancient temples, Venetian forts and Byzantine monasteries with plenty of other wonders stitched in between.

Greece is split into three main geographical regions: the mainland, the Peloponnese Peninsula and the country’s 6,000 beautiful islands. Each has its own distinct identity and offers something unique. Offering something different in every region, Greece has it all.

With 17 UNESCO World Heritage sites to its name, Greece has every right to be proud of its heritage. It’s not all about archaeology, however, and nature lovers will not be left disappointed. Greece is one of the most mountainous countries in Europe and the lush forests and rivers of Epirus, Thessaly and Thrace are ripe for exploring.

One look at a map and you’ll see that Greece is a country eager to dip its toes into the ocean. With 16,000km of coastline and a vast collection of islands scattered throughout the Aegean and Ionian seas, it is famous the world over for its pristine beaches. Let yourself be lured by the white sand and sparkling water, discovering quiet coves, quaint harbours and bustling ports along the way. Whatever it is you want from your Greek vacation, let Jacada Travel help you discover this diverse country.

Where to go

tailor made trips greece

Often referred to as the cradle of Western civilisation, it’s a city bursting at the seams with culture, intrigue and beauty.

mykonos-windmills

Mykonos might be one of the smallest islands in the Cyclades complex but it makes up for it in character. Its reputation as a glamorous party destination has stuck since the 50s and while it’s true people here know how to have a good time, the island is incredibly beautiful, its beaches and secluded corners offering refuge to those who seek it.

santorini-blue-roofs

Sheer cliffs hundreds of metres high shield coves and beaches made up of red, white and black sand, while pretty villages of limewashed cubic houses creep up the sides, nestled into every nook and cranny.

tailor made trips greece

The southern peninsular of Peloponnese, separated from the mainland by the Corinth Canal, encapsulates everything that is wonderful about Greece. It is both rich in culture and naturally beautiful.

motorboat-loutro-crete

Crete was home to Europe’s earliest civilisation, the Minoans, and the legendary birthplace of Zeus. That’s quite a claim to fame but not content to just be historically interesting, the island also has a wealth of natural beauty and some of the country’s best beaches.

spetses-town-greece

Despite this rather diminutive size, it has a rich history dating back millennia and has been a favourite of well-to-do Athenians for over a century, now hosting a handful of wonderful boutique hotels.

tailor made trips greece

The southwestern-most of the Cyclades, it encapsulates the beautiful beaches, rustic white-washed houses, cyan waters, great food and rich history of its neighbours without the crowds of Santorini or Mykonos.

chora-folegandros-chora

Folegandros

Positioned in the southern reaches of the Cyclades and surrounded by the glistening blues of the Aegean Sea, Folegandros is a beautiful and largely undiscovered island, currently emerging as a rewarding and laid-back haven.

santorini-greece-cyclades-islands

Paros is an idyllic Greek island, which decorates the already beautifully mesmerizing Aegean seas, as part of a group of islands known as the Cyclades. It is the second largest island here and is famous for its bright sandy beaches which are lapped by perfectly turquoise waters, as well as its quaint yet traditional villages, connected by unrivalled Byzantine footpaths.

When to visit

Greece  is known for glorious summer weather, blazing sunshine and clear blue skies from May to September. This is typically the best time to visit Greece – the country is full of life and temperatures reach the late 30s. It’s also peak season, though, so many tourists descend on the small island.

Greece Vacations, Trips, Tours & Travel Packages

tailor made trips greece

Greece is located in south-eastern Europe , on the southern end of the Balkan Peninsula. It lies at the meeting point of three continents – Europe, Asia and Africa . Greece is bordered by Bulgaria and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Albania to the northwest, and Turkey to the northeast.

The country consists of three main geographic regions. These are the peninsular mainland, the largest area, the Peloponnese peninsula that is separated from the mainland by the canal of the Corinth Isthmus and thirdly, the more than 2000 islands scattered in the Aegean and Ionian Seas of which approximately 170 are inhabited; some of the better-known islands on a Greece vacation are Crete, Rhodes, Mykonos and Corfu.

About Greece

80% of the country consists of mountains or hills, making Greece one of the most mountainous countries in Europe.  

Because of its geographical position, Greece was a crossroads of several civilizations that had left their traces everywhere. Modern Greece traces its roots to the civilization of Ancient Greece. Considered the cradle of all Western civilization, Greece is the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy and the Olympic Games. This rich legacy is partly reflected in the 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites located in Greece. The modern Greek state, which comprises most of the historical core of Greek civilization, was established in 1830 following the war of independence from the Ottoman Empire.

The climate on trips to Greece is primarily Mediterranean, featuring mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers. This climate occurs at all coastal locations, including Athens , the Cyclades, the Dodecanese, the Peloponnese, the Ionian Islands and parts of the Central Continental Greece region. 

An important percentage of Greece's national income comes from tourism. Greece is one of the world's most popular tourist destinations, ranking in the world's top 20 countries. Visitors on Greek vacations are drawn to the country's beaches and reliable sunny summer weather, its nightlife, historical sites and natural beauty. The nation's terrain is just as varied as its architectural heritage: idyllic beaches, towering mountain ranges, wine-producing valleys, vast stretches of olive orchards in the south, and lush forests in the north. Greece's historical sights are just as varied; the country is littered with just as many medieval churches and castles as classical ruins and temples.

What are the top cities to visit in Greece?

Athens – the ancient and modern city.

No one should miss Athens with its wealth of archaeological treasures, neighbourhoods, museums and art galleries, restaurants and port, Piraeus. The Acropolis is the most important ancient site in Athens and is visible from almost anywhere in the city, an imposing hill in the centre of Athens. On the summit of the Acropolis is the Parthenon, an ancient temple dedicated to the goddess, Athena Parthenos. Below the Acropolis is the Ancient Agora which is a wide expanse of ancient Greek remains. The Panathenaic Stadium which was built in the 4th Century BC as a venue for athletic contests is oval-shaped and was a running track with stone seating all around it. The stadium was restored in 1895 in order to host the 1896 Olympics with seats for 70,000 spectators. The Plaka is a self-contained area and an old historical neighbourhood of Athens It is also the site of many open-air restaurants to enjoy on your Greece vacation. In the Plaka, you can experience street musicians, flower sellers and much more.

Along with the Acropolis Museum, an important one is the National Archaeological Museum which has one of the world’s best collections of Greek antiquities, dating from as far back as the Neolithic Age to the Classical periods. The artefacts include sculptures, pottery, frescoes, and jewellery.

Close to the city are two beach resorts, Glyfada and Vouliagmeni both easily accessible by local transportation. Just outside of Athens is Cape Sounion, the site of the ruins of the ancient Greek temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea in classical mythology. The remains are perched on the headland, surrounded on three sides by the sea. The site is also a popular place to watch the extraordinary sunset over the Aegean Sea on Greece vacations.

Thessaloniki - the Capital of Macedonia

This is the second-largest city in Greece and is named after the half-sister of Alexander the Great. Thessaloniki has a long history and, after Constantinople, was the second most important city of the Byzantine Empire. It is no surprise that it is full of beautiful examples of Byzantine art and architecture. It is a lively modern city with wide avenues plus many parks and squares. The main square is Platia Aristotelous on the waterfront and is filled with cafes and restaurants, a great place to people-watch on travel to Greece. The old port area has been rejuvenated with more restaurants and a couple of art galleries. A special structure is the 15th Century White Tower, the symbol of the city and a museum of art and history. Some of the other historical buildings include the Palace of Galerius, built in the 3rd Century AD, the Roman Market and Theatre and the Roman Baths from the same era. Ancient Vergina is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most extensive archaeological sites in Greece, located about 2 hours from Thessaloniki. It was the first capital of the Kingdom of Macedonia and was only discovered in the 19th Century. Another important archaeological site is Pella, the birthplace of Alexander the Great.

What are the top places and sites to see in Greece?

Of the islands, while on a Greece vacation, the best known are Corfu, a lush green island with excellent beaches, Crete, not only known for its beaches but also for its Roman and Turkish architecture and ancient Minoan ruins, Mykonos, a sophisticated vacation centre and Rhodes which offers beaches as well as mountain scenery and is the home of the ancient site of the Colossus, one of the seven ancient wonders of the world.

Delphi is famous as the ancient sanctuary, the site of the oracle that was consulted on important decisions throughout the ancient classical world. It is located in Central Greece on the southwest slope of Mount Parnassus. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its history and significance in ancient Greek times. On a Greece vacation, after the Acropolis in Athens, Delphi is the most popular archaeological site. It was considered in ancient times to be the centre of the known world. The Delphi Archaeological Museum contains a special collection of items associated with ancient Delphi. The permanent exhibition covers over 1,000 years from the Mycenaean era (1600 to 1100 BC) to Greco-Roman times.

This is the birthplace of the Olympic Games. The ancient games were held every 4 years from the 8th Century BC to the 4th Century AD. Today, the Olympic flame is lit here before it travels around the world to its destination. Now, on Greek vacations, there are only ruins to look at, which include the Gymnasium from the 2nd Century BC, the workshop where the gold statue of Zeus was sculpted (it was one of the seven ancient wonders of the world), the immense Doric Temple of Zeus and the Stadium which was rectangular, unlike today's stadiums. It could seat at least 45,000 spectators.

A visit to Meteora, perched above the town of Kalambaka, is a unique and breathtaking experience on trips to Greece. Situated roughly between Athens and Thessaloniki, this is a series of rock formations with vertical cliffs on top of which are to be found in a number of monasteries dating back mostly to the 14th Century. These monasteries were built by monks who were previously hermits living in caves. A visit to the monasteries, even if your interests are not religious, will give you a spiritual and magical feeling.

The Wonderful Greek Islands

A trip to Greece is not complete without visiting at least one of its many marvellous and delightful islands. Whether you take a Greek Island cruise or simply visit one or two and spend time there, you should not miss this experience. There are around 227 inhabited islands in Greece, some large, some small. Greece has been blessed with a collection of beautiful islands and there is no other country that has developed its islands to cater to visitors the way Greece has.  

One Day, Three Island Cruise from Athens

If you are strictly limited in time, which is a shame on a Greek vacation, you can consider a one-day cruise from Athens to three interesting islands, Hydra, Poros and Aegina in the Saronic Gulf. You will have time ashore on each island to possibly have a quick swim, shop or simply explore. The port of Hydra has narrow stone-paved streets and painted 18th Century houses and a backdrop of hills. The next port of call is Poros, a beautiful green island with groves of pine and lemon trees. The waterfront is lively with its shops, cafes and restaurants. The island of Aegina, the largest of the three, has numerous charming fishing villages and quiet beaches. The Temple of Aphaea Athena is the most important monument on Aegina and is designed along the lines of similar temples such as the Parthenon in Athens.

Santorini is what you might imagine an archetypal Greek Island to be like with its white-washed houses and churches and blue sky. This very beautiful island was formed by a huge volcanic eruption which created a large lagoon in the middle of the island. It is consequently surrounded by steep cliffs on three sides. It still has an active volcano, the only one in the world whose crater is in the sea. Santorini has a reputation as being a romantic island with its crystal-clear waters. You can add to this the island’s amazing sunsets. Akrotiri is an ancient city dating back to the Minoan civilization (2700–1420 BC). It was rediscovered only 50 years ago when it was found under volcanic ash from an earthquake in the 1600s BC.

Crete, the largest Greek island, has ancient archaeological sites, great beaches and superb scenery ranging from mountains to green valleys and steep gorges. The capital, Heraklion, is located between two mountain ranges. There is a Venetian fortress on the harbour walls, built in the early 1500s, Venetian mansions and a number of Byzantine churches to view on a Greece vacation. The Palace of Knossos, just outside of the city, is a Minoan archaeological site, once the ceremonial and political centre of the Minoan civilization and culture. Another city is Chania, which hasn’t changed much from the time of the Venetian rule of Crete (13th to 17th Centuries). Remnants of Venetian and Turkish architecture are to be found with some of the old townhouses now restored. The old town is a maze of alleyways which contain the aforementioned Venetian mansions and churches.

Rhodes is one of the best-preserved medieval towns anywhere, with buildings that date back to Crusader times. The ancient city of Rhodes was first constructed in 407 BC. In 1309, the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem conquered Rhodes and built strong fortifications to protect the island turning it into a thriving multinational medieval city. During the Ottoman occupation, new buildings were erected within the Old Town, mainly mosques and baths. In 1912, Rhodes was conquered by the Italians who added magnificent buildings, wide roads and squares. The Palace of the Grand Master was rebuilt and the Street of the Knights was reconstructed. At the end of the Street stands the Hospital of the Knights which houses the Archaeological Museum. The Old Town of Rhodes is a mosaic of different cultures and civilizations, a wonderful stop on trips to Greece.

Mykonos belongs to the Cyclades group of islands. Although it has acquired a reputation as a fun place in which to spend time on travel to Greece, there is much more to Mykonos than its nightlife and excellent beaches. The main town of Mykonos, also known as Chora, is very picturesque with its maze of narrow streets and harbour. The streets are full of shops, boutiques, art galleries, cafes, bars and restaurants. The island has quite a few beaches offering all the expected facilities. At one end of Mykonos town is Little Venice known for its picturesque medieval houses which literally hang over the edge of the sea. The sunset here is renowned. There are several good museums in Mykonos which include the Archaeological Museum, the Folklore Museum, the Aegean Maritime Museum and the Agricultural Museum. 

Corfu is one of the Ionian Islands. The north of the island is more mountainous and the beaches are pebbly. The south of the island tends to have sandier beaches. The old town of Corfu has a number of historical sites. Strolling through the maze of narrow cobbled streets, with stairways and passages, gives you the feeling of being in Genoa or Naples. The Paleo Frourio (Old Fortress) was built by the Venetians in the 16th Century. From its ramparts, you can enjoy wonderful views of the town and even as far as the mountains in Albania. Outside of the town, you can visit Corfu’s oldest village, Perithia situated beneath a mountain. It is now a preserved village and a perfect example of Venetian architecture. Benitses is a very old, picturesque fishing village. It is also a resort with narrow paved streets and many taverns, cafes and bars.

When is the Best Time to Visit Greece?

The best times to be in Greece are spring (mid-April to mid-June) and fall (September to mid-October). Not only are temperatures not too hot but you avoid the high season in the summer when prices are higher and many Europeans invade Greece. In spring, you will see more wildflowers and in the fall, you can still swim in the sea. Winters can be mild or cold depending on where you are. However, the air is fresh and clear. Many hotels, sights and restaurants shut down, especially on the islands. The rainy times are between November and February.

Trip Tailors Greece

TRIP TAILORS

Trip Tailors was founded in 2014 by Maria and Stelios aiming to inspire and design authentic and unforgettable travel experiences.

Before establishing Trip Tailors, we had both worked for many years in the tourism industry in Spain.

Our long experience in organizing trips made us realize that the most important ingredient to create original trips is the in-depth knowledge of the destination as well as knowing the visitor’s culture.

Trip Tailors is a Destination Management Company (DMC), specializing in designing tailor-made trips to Greece for travelers who seek destinations and experiences off the beaten track.

What connects and inspires our team is their long professional experience in the tourism sector, their love for travelling and, above all, the deep knowledge of the place of destination.

Our commitment is to offer personalized and quality services and make our visitors happy .

Our vision is to be a reference company in the market for travel to Greece, recognized for the quality of our services , the friendliness and professionalism of our team.

MARIA KAMPERI

Co-Director & Sales Manager

I had already been working for more than ten years in Spain in the front line of the tailor-made trips to Greece, when Stelios and I decided to found Trip Tailors.

Since then I´m committed to cooperating closely with our suppliers in order to make sure that the planning and the execution of all travelling stages offered to our customers be just perfect up to the last detail.

I am fascinated in travelling around Greece discovering hidden places and small charming shops, which add a delightful touch to journeys. I consider myself lucky having been able to transform my love and passion for travelling and for my homeland into my dream job.
