Fit for the gods

From the coasts of the Mediterranean to the top of Mount Olympus, Greece is a place grand enough for mythical gods and friendly enough for travelers alike. Uncover its ancient ruins and relics and take in an iconic landscape of whitewashed homes. This is only the beginning of the endless wonders you’ll find when you first set foot on Greek soil.

Destination Must-See's

This is the most spectacular destination in the Mediterranean and holds the most prehistoric settlement in the region. The ancient town of Akrotiri was once destroyed and consequently preserved by a volcanic eruption around 1450 B.C. The excavation site of this city is known as the “Minoan Pompeii.” But perhaps the island’s greatest draws are its vineyards, whitewashed chapels, volcanic cliffs, and famous wines of Santorini.

Known as the “whitewashed jewel of the Cyclades islands” or the “Island of the Winds,” it is said that the island was formed from the petrified bodies of giants killed by Hercules. It also gets its name from the grandson of Apollo - “Mykonos.” In the island’s capital town you will find the church, town hall, castle, the Archaeological, Folklore, and Maritime Museums, and a shopper’s paradise – Matoyianni Street.

Athens is the capital city of Greece and the historical capital of Europe. It is home to many celebrated ancient monuments including the imposing Acropolis, the ruins of the Temple of Zeus, the Royal Palace, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Olympic Stadium, and Hadrian’s Gate – the symbolic entrance to the city. It also has the charming Plaka neighborhood which has been without interruption since antiquity.

One of the most well-known tourist destinations in Greece, Olympia is located in the western Peloponnese, known as the “Valley of the Gods.” Surrounded by beautiful scenery from the Arcadian Mountains, it is home of the first Olympic Games that were held in 776 B.C. You can walk through the ruins of the ancient Olympic stadium, witness amazing sculptures at the museum, or even attend one of the many festivals held throughout the year.

Destination Must-Do's

Meteora Monastery:

Over 600 years ago Byzantine monks chose to build their monastic community atop limestone rock “towers” that extend nearly 900 feet into the air, making them virtually inaccessible. It is one of the greatest monuments in the world, and is the most important monastic center in Greece. You can climb these rocks and travel the paths hidden behind the massive rocks.

Delphi ruins:

Delphi was regarded as the center of the world and had the most famous oracle of ancient Greece. The site includes two sanctuaries dedicated to Apollo and Athena, and other buildings that were mostly intended for sports. The earliest finds in Delphi date back to 4000 B.C. from the Korykeion Andron, a cave where the first rituals took place. The ruins are filled with an enormous amount of history and beauty.

Greek Olive Farm:

Olives and olive oil are staples of the Mediterranean diet, and Greece is a major grower and producer of olive products. A visit to a Greek olive farm can provide a taste of Greek culture and serve as a window into everyday life in the country. Tours, tastings, meals, and cooking classes hosted at olive farms are all wonderful options on the table when venturing into Greece’s countryside.

Travel back in time with a visit to Athens’s old city – the Plaka. The hilly cobblestone streets are lined with historic buildings housing small shops, sidewalk cafes and family-owned restaurants making this neighborhood Athens’ crowned jewel. The neighborhood comes alive at night. The alleyways fill with music and dancing and locals and visitors alike dine on their favorite traditional dishes.

Expert Advice

Getting around is easier than you would expect. Greeks can speak English enough to assist travelers, and street signs are in both Greek and English.

Much of your trip may focus on the ancient past yet I suggest you also take time to explore the vibrant traditions that still live in today’s Greek culture.

Greece is a welcoming destination year-round. Consider visiting October through May to beat the summer bustle, and with Greece’s 250+ days of sunshine in an average year, don’t forget your sunglasses.

Kaló apógevma

"There is nowhere quite like Greece, there is something here for everyone; you can walk in the footsteps of the Ancient Greeks, dance the Zorba while indulging in a Greek feast or get lost in a maze of the whitewashed houses of Mykonos as the sun sets"

Evana, Travel Director

Explore the ancient capital of Athens

Often dubbed the cradle of Western civilisation, Athens was arguably the most influential city of ancient times. Contemporary meets antique in a city both drenched in world history and brimming with a modernity. You’ll discover thermal lakes, buzzing beachside neighborhoods and some of the world’s oldest ruins.

Visit the ancient Olympic site in Olympia

The birthplace of the Olympic Games, Olympia first became known to the world in 776 BC, when the very first games were held. Visit this world-famous ancient site that was also a holy place of worship for Zeus, the Greek god, surrounded by lush forestry in a rolling valley.

See the ruins of the Temple of Apollo

Reachable by a day trip from Athens, the Temple of Apollo at Delphi was rebuilt numerous times before settling into the historic site it inhabits today. Marvel at the remaining sandstone columns and decayed limestone that remind us of the past it endured over many thousands of years.

Dine 'Meze Style' in Psyri, Athens

Most travel guides will have you visiting Plaka for Greek food and nightlife, but authentic eateries are best found in the nearby neighborhood of Psiri. Between no-frills bars and dusty antique shops, you will find traditional mezze-style eateries and a boutique energy that pays tribute to Greece’s culinary heritage.

Visit Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Meteora

One of Greece’s most popular tourist attractions, it’s easy to see why so many flock to the spectacular rock formations of Meteora. Marvel at talents of both man and Mother Nature at the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Byzantine monasteries that float around the summits.

Our top 5 things to do in Greece

Food and history form the basis of Greek culture and play a big role in all our trips to Greece. With Trafalgar, we'll showcase the best this country has to offer from sun up to dreamy sundown.

Acropolis Museum

The Acropolis Museum is found at the foot of the western world’s most important ancient site. Unpeel layers of history as you wander the halls of the past and gaze up at the dazzling site itself through glass walls. Allow yourself at least half a day to take in the enormity of this museum.

Remains of Agamemnon's Royal Palace

Tours in Greece are scarcely complete without a visit to this iconic archeological site, where you will find the remains of Agamemnon's Royal Palace, one of the world’s best-preserved fortresses. Glance up and admire unrivalled panoramic views of the countryside, once the Greek civilisation’s major military centres.

Athens War Museum

Opening its doors in 1975, the Athens War Museum documents the country’s past conflicts and military artefacts. In honor of those who fought for Greece’s freedom, the museum showcases four grand floors of past-to-present history. History enthusiasts will find no shortage of awe within these walls.

Best museums in Greece

Though often visited for Greece island hopping, the enchantment of this Mediterranean jewel extends beyond the sapphire waters. With Trafalgar, you’ll venture under the layers of Greek culture by visiting its many fascinating museums.

Standing its ground as one of Greece’s most famous main meals, moussaka is a wholesome and delectable combination of eggplant, ground meat, onion and béchamel sauce. Try this dish a few times during your visit; there are family variations that get passed through generations.

Souvlaki is street food at its very best. A simple preparation of skewered meats and vegetables, it’s the flavoring that makes this snack a pride of the nation. For the most authentic souvlaki, sample if from a street vendor wrapped up with condiments, salad and thick hot chips.

Kolokythokeftedes

The small fried balls of kolokythokeftedes can most aptly be compared to zucchini fritters with fetta cheese. Often ordered in summer with a side of tzatziki, these delicious bites are a great starter to any meal. Learn from the locals and snack on kolokythokeftedes alongside a glass of wine in the warm afternoon sun.

Best food in Greece

From an array of antipasto dips like taramasalata and tzatziki, to heavier main courses of grilled meats and fresh fish, Greek cuisine is internationally recognized for its deliciousness. Trafalgar will take you to the heart of Greece’s culinary traditions, each mouthful and mealtime an utter treat.

What to pack for Greece

Long, breathable pants or skirts

Often warm all year around, and extremely hot during summer, long, light clothing is ideal for daytime sightseeing in Greece – particularly when visiting historic religious sites that require modest attire.

A stainless steel water bottle

Whether you’re basking ocean-side beneath the hot sun or trekking the ancient monuments of this distinct country, you’ll need to stay hydrated. Stainless steel bottles keep your water cold for eight hours while treading lightly on the environment.

Walking shoes

Comfortable shoes are a must when you’re out from morning to night. Choose sturdy, open-toe walking sandals or closed toe sneakers to ensure you can walk effortlessly for hours.

A wide-lens camera

From coasts spanning miles of sea to some of the world’s most spectacular ruins, Greece is bursting with scenes you will want to remember forever. A wide-lens camera will make it easier to capture the views.

Sun protection

Whether it’s SPF50+ sunscreen, a wide-brimmed sun hat or long-sleeved clothing, some form of sun protection is crucial when visiting this popular summer vacation spot.

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and toiletry bottles.

Escorted Greece Tours

The essence of greece.

Superb seascapes meet spectacular sunsets, cube houses cling to coastal cliffs, mountains are home to gods and monasteries, every island has its own spirit, and ancient relics are abundant. Gregarious Greece is greater than the sum of its parts.

Why Choose a Tour in Greece

From the mythical gods and minotaur to the monasteries of Meteora, from classical sites in the capital to cruising the Cycladic islands, and from the Rhodes’ castle of Crusader knights to the amazing acoustics of Epidaurus amphitheatre, tours in Greece take you through the millennia and timeless landscapes to bays and beaches, temples and tavernas.

In northern Greece , we visit Thessaloniki, the country’s cosmopolitan second city, the trident fork of the Macedonian peninsula, and the Temples of Zeus and Egyptian gods in Dios, at the foot of Mt. Olympus; and tour the haunts of Alexander the Great, from his Pella birthplace to the tombs of his father and son.

Around the Peloponnese , we sail full circle from ancient Epidaurus to Nafplion’s trio of fortresses, the medieval town of Monemvasia, the caves and villages of the Mani peninsula, the Mycenaean palaces of Nestor and Agamemnon, and Olympian ruins of the Gods and the Games, cruising through the Gulf of Corinth for a visit to Delphi’s temples and enigmatic Oracle.

Athens is often the launch pad for journeys to the ancient sites and inspiring museums of Greece. ‘The birthplace of Western civilisation’ is sprinkled with historic relics and studded with famous landmarks, from the Roman Arch of Hadrian to Byzantine churches and, of course, the iconic Acropolis, with the ‘Herodion’ theatre at its feet, and the Parthenon its crowning glory.

Crete the largest of the Greek islands, teams Minoan and Roman sites with Ottoman streets, Venetian ports, and venerated churches. We visit Heraklion’s revered museum and fabled Knossos Palace, the ruins of Gortys and Phaestos, the sacred site of Arkadi Monastery, Rethymnon’s long beach and landmark buildings, and the broad port and narrow lanes of charismatic Chania.

Atmospheric Rhodes Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage enclave, where cobbled streets lead through fountain squares to the inns of the knights and the lavish Grand Masters’ Palace; while sea-front Lindos is steeped in legends of Hercules and Helen of Troy, and crowned by a clifftop Acropolis.

And among the isles and islets of the Cyclades archipelago , we visit pretty Poros and Paros, remote Folegandros and uncrowded Kythnos, lively Mykonos, the bays of Syros, fabulously photogenic Santorini, and the sacred isle of Delos, inhabited only by the spirits of the Gods.

When to go on Greece Holidays

While Greece has a generally temperate Mediterranean climate, there are regional and seasonal variations, most notably the six hottest weeks of summer, from the start of July to mid-August, when temperatures frequently peak at 40°. Jules Verne avoids this period and schedules its tour dates for the best time to visit each region. With journeys in April to June and late August to October, our guests can enjoy sea breezes, plenty of sunshine, and wonderfully warm days which are comfortable for touring.

Who Are Greece Tours Suited To?

With ancient monuments, myths, and legends, museums of Byzantine to Bronze Age relics, subterranean lakes and stalagmite caves, clear blue seas and soft sand beaches, Greece really does have something for everyone, often all in one tour. Whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, or with friends or family, you are sure to find your ideal getaway in our range of road tours and refreshing cruises.

Why Book Greece Tours with Jules Verne?

With 45 years’ experience and a passion for creating extraordinary adventures, Jules Verne visits iconic landmarks and lesser-known sites, with expert tour guides who share their local knowledge, and show you hidden gems. Our journeys in Greece visit ten UNESCO World Heritage sites, from Delphi to Delos, Athens to Olympia, Meteora to Mycenae, and Rhodes to Crete. Our various small-group tours allow time at leisure to relax or explore, add ‘mezze’ meals in traditional tavernas, and tastings of local food and wine, and build-in swim stops in beguiling bays.

All our guided tours to Greece are ABTA and ATOL protected, and we offer a 100% price guarantee, so you can book with complete confidence.

Greece tour highlights

Home to some of the earliest examples of Western civilization, not to mention the antiquities contained within their ruins, cerulean seas peppered with picture-perfect islands and lip-smackingly good cuisine served up in waterside tavernas, it’s no surprise that Greece is one of Europe’s most loved destinations. You can enjoy the quintessential Hellenic experience on our selection of small group journeys to Greece.

From cruising the lesser-known Aegean islands on board a traditional wooden caique, to walking the olive-shaded paths of Corfu or relaxing among the gorges and secluded coves of Crete: these are a few of our favorite Greek highlights.  

Often described as Greece’s greenest island, Corfu is lush, sprinkled with wildflowers and whitewashed buildings draped in fuchsia bougainvillea. Corfu may be known for its beach vacations, but the best way to explore is on foot. Immerse yourself in the sleepy way of life as you walk between pretty villages, rolling vineyards, shady olive groves and local tavernas. Corfu's longest-distance Corfu Trail, a 220km-long stroll around some of the islands highlights. With Explore you can choose the  Corfu Trail South  to climb the second highest peak of Agii Deka, visit isolated monasteries and a selection of beaches, or the quieter  Corfu Trail North  to cross the Karst Plateau and admire views of Albania. If you can’t choose, you can also do both trips back-to-back on our two-week  Corfu Trail Explorer .  

Crete is Greece’s southernmost and largest island and comprises the best of what Greece has to offer in one 8,000 square kilometer dot of land. Crete is a feast for the senses: thousands of years of history, wild and unfettered natural beauty, beautiful Venetian towns along its striking beach-stippled coastline, plus a fragrant and surprisingly healthy cuisine packed with fresh Mediterranean produce. Our  Walking in Crete  holiday takes you through some of the island’s finest natural sights, including the White Mountains and the Samaria Gorge – Europe’s longest. In the lesser-visited south of the island you can walk the coastal paths to peaceful Loutro and Chora Sfakion and replenish in seafood tavernas where you can savor the day’s catch served with peppery greens and glorious golden olive oil.  

Solo travel in Greece

If you’re a solo traveler, our  Greece solo vacations are perfect. You can expect that around half of our guests on a small group tour will be traveling solo.

Greece Tours

Where fact is more incredible than myth

Blindingly white sugar-cube houses set against the deep, sparkling blue of the Mediterranean, one of the world's great cuisines and some of the most fun-loving people on Earth – it's no wonder Greece is a perennial favourite among travellers. And if you think the stories are mere hype or the postcards doctored, guess again. Greece is blessed with a landscape so starkly beautiful it almost hurts the eyes, and few countries celebrate life as zealously as its inhabitants. Though its location as a bridge between Europe and Asia led to millennia of invaders, the tradition of philoxenia, or hospitality to travelers, continues as strong today as it was in the time of Homer. In Greece, when the wine and ouzo flow, the dancing begins, and you are always invited.

The Best Greece Tours

Explore everything from Greece's ancient history to beautiful beaches to caldera vistas on a guided tour. Many say a sunset tour in Santorini is an incredible experience.

Greece has plenty to offer travelers from the ancient remains in Athens to the picturesque beaches on Crete to the iconic white buildings that dot Mykonos . With more than 200 islands to explore, making a choice of what to see can be dizzying. That's where a guided tour comes in. In-the-know locals can help guide you to some of the best sights Greece has to offer. Using both traveler opinion and expert input, U.S. News gathered a selection of the best tours available in Greece.

Sunset Oia Sailing Cruises – Diamond Cruise

Price: From 230 euros (roughly $250) Duration: 5 hours

Several travelers call this tour the highlight of their Santorini vacation. Reviewers also praise Sunset Oia Sailing Cruises' friendly crew and the delicious lunch served on board. On the Diamond luxury catamaran cruise, up to 20 travelers will make stops at Hot Springs, Red Beach and White Beach (the lunch spot) for swimming and snorkeling. Along the way, you'll cruise by Aspronisi and Indian Rock, among other sights. The final stop is at the caldera for some photo-ops.

The five-hour trips depart year-round at either 9:30 a.m. or 2:45 p.m. (the afternoon sailing is a sunset cruise). Tickets for both cruises start at 230 euros (about $250) per person. Hotel pickup and drop-off is included, as well as a barbecue lunch, alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks, use of towels, bathrooms and showers. Gratuity for your crew is extra. Alternatively, the Platinum Cruise offers a similar itinerary at a slightly lower price.

Chat Tours – Delphi & Arachova

Price: From 88 euros (about $96) Duration: 10 hours

The Delphi Oracle was one of the most important fixtures in ancient Greece.

Chat Tours takes travelers to this famous site and the neighboring museum to learn all about its history and see plentiful artifacts.

For three hours, you'll get to lounge on the company's boat while the crew takes you to some of Rhodes' most beautiful inlets. There are also ample opportunities to swim and snorkel as you admire views of the Greek islands. Tour-takers urge future travelers to take the cruise, saying it was one of the best things they did on their vacation in Greece.

In addition to wine tastings, you'll enjoy a tour of a volcanic vineyard. Travelers appreciate the ample snacks along the way – several say they didn't go hungry – as well as the informative guides. An added bonus is the small group size: only eight to 10 people can join.

Tours depart around 9:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday from May through October. Tickets start at 140 euros (around $153) per person.

The perks of solo travel in Greece with Intrepid

A local leader

With a reputation for being a dream destination for many travelers, our savvy local leaders will guide you away from the tourist traps and toward authentic experiences that will make your trip unforgettable. All of our leaders in  Greece  are local to the area, so they'll be able to point you toward the most delicious moussaka, the cheapest gyros ( yiros ), and the best photo spots for crowd-free sunset snaps.

While Greece is overall very safe for travelers, it's not immune to some common petty crimes that can occur in major tourist areas. Your local leader can provide tips on keeping your valuables safe, especially on public transportation, so you can focus on the destination ahead. When heading out to some of the Greek islands' famous party spots, having your crew of new friends to walk home with at night is an added benefit for peace of mind, especially after a few drinks.

Ready-made friends

Looking to have the freedom of solo travel but can't imagine watching a Santorini sunset alone? Our small group tours are for you. Whether your idea of free time consists of boutique shopping, swimming in turquoise waters, or nerding out over Zeus' birthplace, you'll likely find a travel buddy that shares your unique interests. You can plan a day with your crew or spend it solo, but at the end of the day, a glass of ouzo always tastes better when shared with friends.

Logistics and convenience

With over 200 islands in the Cyclades alone and a ferry system that's notorious for headaches, traveling in the  Greek islands  can require a little bit of strategy. Our  skippers  will get you from point A to point B, hitting hot spots like Santorini and Mykonos, while also giving you a glimpse into the sleepy lifestyles of smaller, less populated islands like Amorgos. From transportation to accommodation to the tavernas with the best views, we'll handle the tough stuff so you can focus on how many  mezedhes  to order for the table.  

Will I have my own room?

It's completely up to you! Intrepid trips organize rooming on a twin-share basis, so solo travelers are paired up with another traveler of the same gender as per the gender marker on their passport.  If you'd prefer your own room, most of our trips offer a single supplement for an extra charge – just mention this to our customer service team when booking your trip and they'll arrange it for you.  As a responsible tour operator, we strive to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. In the case that your gender identity differs from what is indicated on your passport, please let us know at the time of booking so that we can discuss rooming options with you.

What is accommodation like on the sailing boats?

Each sailing vessel typically comes with three twin/double cabins, as well as a couple of single berths for staff. Your skipper will allocate rooms on arrival. Passengers traveling in pairs will be accommodated together while solo travelers will be placed with a fellow passenger of the same gender wherever possible. This may mean sharing a double mattress or twin mattresses side by side.

Solo travelers have the option of booking a cabin to themselves for an additional fee, please ask our team at the time of your booking for more details. 

If you do not identify with the gender assigned on your passport, please let us know at the time of booking so we can make an adjustment to your sleeping arrangements.

Read more about sailing in Europe

Will I have any free time to explore by myself?

While our trips do have set itineraries, the amount of free time you'll have depends on the  travel style . If you're joining a group trip to Greece, chances are you'll have designated time set aside for you to do your own exploring if you'd like, and your guide will be able to provide tips and recommendations before you head out on your own. 

I'm new to group travel, what will my group be like?

Intrepid's travelers  are connected more by attitude than age.  They’re a friendly, open-minded, and curious bunch, and a lot of them elect to travel alone (so no third-wheeling, we promise). Our trips attract a mix of genders and ages generally ranging from 25 to 65. It’s hard to know exactly who you’ll meet, but you can be assured you'll be a part of the fun.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling to Greece?

You sure do. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their tour. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability, and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every trip.

Learn more about travel insurance

Are Intrepid's Greece tours accessible for travelers with disabilities?

Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. However, we’re always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Learn more about Accessible Travel with Intrepid

Our solo travel safety guide

Share your itinerary.

Good advice for us all, but particularly for people traveling solo. Make copies of your itinerary, contact details, passport, and travel insurance, then email them to yourself and to one or two friends/family at home. Check in on social media when you can so people can keep track of where you are. 

Remember the little things

If you’re arriving late in a city by yourself, book a hotel with a front desk or concierge service (many hotels also offer private transfers that don’t cost the earth from the airport or train station). If you're traveling with us, we can help you organize an  arrival transfer.  Read your maps  before  you head out for a walk (you can use a map app on your smartphone – or take screenshots of where you’re going if you don’t want to use up your precious data). If you need to check your map when you’re out and about, duck into a shop or café to do it. Leave the blingy jewelry, wedding rings, and designer clothes at home, and aim to dress as the locals do – hit up the local markets if you haven’t packed the right outfits. Aim to keep track of travel times, so you’re not caught out after dark.

Roam if you want to

Most mobile/cell providers now offer travel passes to help manage your international roaming costs (which, let’s face it, are expensive!). For a few dollars a day, you’ll have access to data, which means you can log into your apps (like Skype, email, and WhatsApp) when you’re out of WiFi zones and quickly get in touch with someone – a friend at home, someone in your group, or the police – if you need to. It might also be worth checking out the local cell/mobile providers as these can be quite cost-effective. 

Fare's fair

Solo travelers are way more likely to be ‘taken for a ride’ at the airport by unscrupulous taxi drivers, so do your research before you arrive. Make sure you get a cab from the airport/station taxi rank – if you’re not sure where to go, just head to the information desk for help. Touts tend to hang out in the arrivals area and promise cheaper rates, but can often be dodgy. When you get to the cab rank, ask the driver to use the meter or request a cost estimate  before  you hop in the car – if it’s way higher than it should be, pick another vehicle. A lot of airports have train stations attached as well, so consider public transport if you want to save a dollar or two.

Stick together

It’s one of the advantages of traveling solo on a group tour: safety in numbers. The big, 50-person bus groups stand out on the road, but a small  Intrepid group  of eight or nine people, with a local leader showing the way – including areas to avoid and getting around safely – won’t draw much attention. Plus, it’s a great way to see parts of the world you may feel uncomfortable exploring on your own. If you want to do things on your own, consider a  day tour  to familiarise yourself with a city and get to know the local way of life. 

Trust your instincts

Solo travel is all about confidence. If you’re relaxed and self-assured on the street, you’re more likely to blend in. When you meet new people, don’t assume they’re all out to get you, but be sensible too and trust your gut. If it feels wrong, it probably is. Remember: the popular tourist areas are often the most well-lit and secure, but they’re often a juicier target for pickpockets and scammers. Just use your common sense; half of travel safety is simply being aware of your surroundings.

Greece Island Hopper

This tour was amazing. Had the best time. It was awesome, but too short because I didn’t wanted to be over yet. Seen so much beautiful places and the tour guide Keira was the best. This was my 3th tour with trutravels and definitely going to book with tru again!

Greek Island Hopping (Standard, 11 Days)

My experience with the Greek Island Hopping Tour was amazing! I liked having the freedom to do excursions (which were all amazing), or have the day to myself. Ellen was an amazing guide and ensured everything went smoothly. Would definitely do another Contiki in the future!

Santorini Weekend

Athens to Santorini (Plus, 8 Days)

The tour was a nice pace, 2 days on each island. The optional extras were not anything too exciting, I only did 2, sailing in paros and winery in Santorini which is really enjoyed both and recommended. Found the hotels to be all good except Santorini, the hotel in Santorini was far from the main attractions and did not allow for easy access to the main cities and not worth it for the price of the tour. This tour allowed for a lot of free time to do what you wanted which was nice.

Greek Island Hopping (Gap, 11 Days)

What people love about greece tours for young adults.

This has been my first solo travel trip and I genuinely don’t have a bad word to say, it was worth every penny!! No one wanted the trip to end which I think speaks for itself how amazing our guide Keira was. She was so fun and helpful, she couldn’t do enough for you and just wanted everyone to have the absolute best time which we did!! Keira was so knowledgable and had so many amazing recommendations for all the amazing places we got to visit, all while making friends from all over the world that very quickly became a family!

Friendly crew, great itinerary. Great communication and information about where we were & where we were going as well as recommendations for food/activities at our different spots!
