Why start a trip in Athens?
Athens is one of the busiest departure points in Greece for 18–35 group travel — 35 operators run 175 trips out of the city, which means genuine choice on route, pace and price rather than one company's catalogue. The median works out at roughly £181 per person per day across a typical 8-day trip, before flights and most meals. Because so many trips leave from here, departures cluster — if one is sold out or the dates don't work, there is almost always another within a fortnight. Most travellers fly in a day early, sleep off the jet lag, and meet the group at the welcome briefing that evening.
