Trip Highlights

Why you'll love this trip

  • Epidaurus: Epidaurus is one of the most important archaeological findings reflecting the splendour of Greek culture through its imposing beauty. Visit the birthplace of Apollo's son and an ancient place of healing.

  • Mycenae: See ancient Greek remains and the tomb of Agamemnon in fascinating Mycenae.

  • Olympia: Cath a glimpse of the birthplace of the Olympic Games.

  • Delphi: At the foot of Mount Parnassos, lies the Pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, which was the most famous Oracle of ancient Greece. Delphi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the second-most important archaeological site in Greece, after the Acropolis in Athens.

  • Meteora: In a region of almost inaccessible sandstone peaks, monks settled on these 'columns of the sky' from the 11th century onwards. Twenty-four of these monasteries were built, despite incredible difficulties, at the time of the great revival of the eremitic ideal in the 15th century. Their 16th-century frescoes mark a key stage in the development of post-Byzantine painting. Meteora is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

  • Athens: Explore the Capital of Greece on your own, visiting the spectacular Acropolis and enjoying plenty of time for shopping.
