About this trip
Eight days across mainland Greece and Santorini, covering the country's best-known historical sites before finishing with island time. It moves at an easy pace, with guided touring on the mainland and free time built in once you reach the islands.
You'll take in Athens, Delphi and Meteora in turn, each a step further into Greece's ancient and religious history, before winding down on Santorini with beach days and optional extras.
What you'll do
- Guided tour of the Acropolis and central Athens
- Day trip to the ancient site of Delphi
- Visit Meteora and its cliff-top monasteries
- Free time to explore Santorini at your own pace
- Optional half-day boat trip to the volcanic islands of Nea Kameni and Palea Kameni
- Partially guided — mainland touring is structured, Santorini is largely free time
- Easy pace, suited to families or those wanting a mix of sightseeing and relaxation
- The volcanic islands excursion is optional and not included in the base tour
Worth it if you value seamless logistics and passionate guides. Think twice if you need reliable customer service recovery or pristine accommodation quality.
- Guide George at Meteora was exceptional and philosophical; Athens day guide and Santorini excursion equally excellent throughout.
- Airport pickups, hotel transfers, and bus logistics executed flawlessly with friendly drivers across all eight days.
- Hotel downgrades happened: paid for 4-star in Kalambaka but received 3-star or worse; company ignored complaint emails entirely.
- Luggage damage claims rejected despite video evidence; forced restaurant stops with inflated prices and no alternatives available.
