Greece & The Islands

A tour which not only introduces you to the ancient wonders of classical Greece, but also takes you to some of the most beautiful of the Greek islands. From the historic capital of Athens we journey through the picturesque town of Nafplion, Tolo and Sparti, stop at the Corinth Canal, and explore the ancient archaeological sites of Mycenae, Epidaurus, Mystra, Olympia and Delphi. We visit a winery and olive museum, and our included cooking class gives you an insight into the local cuisine. Then we begin our island hop to Santorini, Paros and Mykonos. Experience the dramatic landscape of Santorini as the boat floats over one of the most significant underwater volcanoes in the world. Then head to Paros with its whitewashed labyrinthine streets. Maybe hire a jeep and explore the island?s myriad of sights, or enjoy a seaside lunch of fresh grilled octopus with fine Ouzo, the locals favourite refreshment. To end, we head to the most lively island of Mykonos to explore or just enjoy the exciting and vibrant night life of ?Little Venice?.
