About this trip
This trip runs through four of Greece's best known ancient sites over eight days, taking in Athens, Delphi, Olympia, and Meteora.
It's set up as a partially guided small-group trip, with a relaxed pace that leaves room to take each place in rather than rushing between them.
With Christmas and New Year departures and a family-friendly style, it suits travellers who want the history without a packed, high-intensity schedule.
What you'll do
- Explore ancient Athens
- Visit the ruins at Delphi
- See the site of the original Olympic Games at Olympia
- Take in the monasteries of Meteora
- Between November and March, the Athens guided tour is replaced with a 48-hour ticket for the hop-on hop-off tourist bus rather than an escorted tour
