Tour Overview
Much like baklava, Greece is layered with history so rich that the only way to do it justice is with a knowledgeable local leader. Travelling from Athens to the Meteora Mountains and back along the coast, you’ll learn how Meteora’s hanging monasteries protected modern Hellenic culture from invading Turks, uncover the stories of the Oracle of Delphi and explore the site of the first Olympics. Ponder Greek philosophy on an interactive walking tour in Athens with a local journalist and taste local wine on a visit to a family-owned winery at the foot of Meteora. With Signature Experiences – like visiting beekeepers to discover the secrets of Greek honey – and a Feature Stay in a traditional stone mansion, this well-rounded adventure brings Greece’s past and present to life.
