Home of democracy and philosophy, plate smashing and gyros, Greece has a long history, whitewashed island towns and a rich cuisine. Our specialists know the country from Athens and the heights of the Acropolis to the traditional villages on the island of Milos, and we can build you a Greece holiday that explores its highlights or delves deep into one facet of its culture.
We can suggest experiences based on your personal interests, including kayaking in the shadow of the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, dining with a local family in their home in Athens and hiking among the sky-scraping monasteries in Meteora. Whether you’re looking for a thorough tour of the most significant sites from the classical era or you’re ready to cruise on a private boat around Santorini, we’ll tailor your trip to suit you exactly.
