Ancient Greece & Zakynthos Turtle Island Tour

Start & end in Athens 5 days Up to 8

About this trip

Five days that pair mainland Greece's big historical sites with a couple of days on Zakynthos, all run as a private tour with your own transfers and local guides.

You cover a lot of ground: Delphi, Olympia, Mycenae and Meteora each get a stop, with guides talking you through the myths and history behind them rather than leaving you with a leaflet. Then the pace drops on Zakynthos, with time for the island's turquoise coastline and whitewashed villages.

It suits families or small groups who want the history explained properly but don't fancy a coach tour, and who'd rather end on a beach than a bus.

What you'll do

  • Visit the Oracle of Delphi with a guide talking through its history
  • See the ruins of Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games
  • Stand at the Lion Gate of Mycenae
  • Explore the clifftop monasteries of Meteora
  • Spend time on Zakynthos's beaches and coastline
  • Wander whitewashed villages and try regional food
Good to know
  • Private transfers throughout, with guiding at the main sites rather than the whole day
  • Covers four major mainland sites plus island time in five days, so it moves briskly
  • Rated easy, suited to families and mixed-ability groups
