About this trip
Fifteen days across mainland Greece and the islands, covering the sites and landscapes that keep coming up as highlights on our other Greece trips. It moves from the ancient ruins of Athens and Delphi to the mountains of Crete and the caldera views of Santorini.
This is a full itinerary — historical sites sit alongside a proper hike through the Samariá Gorge and time in small Cretan villages where the pace slows down. It suits people who want both the big-name landmarks and a feel for everyday Greek life.
What you'll do
- Explore the Acropolis and ancient sites of Athens
- Visit the archaeological site at Delphi
- Hike the Samariá Gorge in Crete
- Spend time in small, less-visited Cretan villages
- Watch the sunset over the caldera in Santorini
- A full itinerary with a lot of ground covered — expect busy days
- Includes a genuine hike through Samariá Gorge, so some fitness helps
- Mix of private and shared rooms depending on the stop
Worth it if you want Greece's highlights seamlessly organised with standout guides. Think twice if you need flexibility or prefer a slower pace.
- Guide quality is genuinely exceptional; Ioanna, Norea, and Yannis repeatedly praised for knowledge, enthusiasm, and personal connection.
- Small group size creates family-like atmosphere and deeper friendships, not the detached feeling of larger tours.
- Well-balanced itinerary mixes cities, countryside, hiking, swimming, kayaking; Meteora emerged as unexpected standout for several travellers.
- Described as whirlwind of activity; may feel rushed if you prefer lingering in places rather than covering highlights.
