Journey back to antiquity amid the vibrant contemporary spirit of Greece’s two great cities, and experience their richly layered culture, architecture, and gastronomy on this immersive tour.

Experience the magnitude of the Acropolis and the dizzying vastness of Athens sprawled below on a guided tour that also includes the Acropolis Museum. Explore the charming district of Plaka, and take a full-day excursion to Delphi, once believed to be the centre of the ancient world.
Experience the mystical landscapes of the breathtaking Meteora Monasteries and the village of Agios Dimitrios, then proceed north to Thessaloniki, Athens’s younger sister.
