Olympia, Delphi, Meteora, Mycenae, Epidaurus. Half-board hotels. Licensed archaeologist. Every entrance fee included. The classical Greece tour the way it should be done.
Same itinerary, same guides, same sites. Difference is the hotels and dinners. Pick what fits.
Mondays only. Pickup from your Athens hotel at 7:00 AM. By Friday evening you're back in your room with about 5,000 years of Greek civilization processed and a camera roll that justifies the airfare twice over.
Pickup at 7:00 AM. Stop at the Corinth Canal photo point, then on to the Bronze Age citadel of Mycenae and the Lion Gate. Lunch in Nafplio (own expense). Afternoon at the Theatre of Epidaurus — the acoustic miracle. Drive across the Peloponnese to Olympia. Dinner and overnight at hotel.
Morning at the archaeological site of Olympia and the museum — see the original Olympic stadium and the Hermes of Praxiteles. Cross the Rio-Antirrio bridge (longest cable-stayed bridge in Europe), drive north along the Gulf of Corinth to Delphi. Dinner and overnight at hotel.
Morning at Delphi — Sanctuary of Apollo, the Sacred Way, the museum with the Charioteer. Lunch in Arachova (own expense). Long but scenic drive north through Lamia and Trikala to Kalambaka, the gateway to Meteora. Dinner and overnight at hotel with views of the rocks.
Morning visiting two of the six active monasteries built atop sandstone pillars (Great Meteoron and Varlaam typical). Lunch in Kalambaka (own expense). Long drive south back to Athens — stop in Thermopylae to see the Leonidas monument before sunset. Drop-off at your hotel by 7:30 PM.
Morning half-day Athens city tour with your guide — Panathenaic Stadium, Hadrian's Arch, the Parliament, then up to the Acropolis (Propylaea, Parthenon, Erechtheion). Visit the Acropolis Museum. Tour ends around 2 PM at the museum — you're free to explore Plaka on foot. End of tour.
Both tours follow the exact same itinerary, same guide, same coach, same sites. The difference is hotels and dinners. A-Class uses 4-star hotels (Amalia chain or equivalent — well-known to anyone who's traveled in Greece) with upgraded dinners. Tourist Class uses 3-star central hotels with standard dinners. €235 difference per person.
This itinerary runs once per week from Athens because the multi-day group tours follow a coordinated schedule across operators. Monday departure means returning Friday afternoon — perfect for a 1-week Greece trip with a weekend in Athens to start or end. We can also arrange private departures any day at higher cost.
Absolutely. Group sizes are typically 15-30 with the same guide and driver throughout. Many guests are solo travelers. Single supplement (€154) gives you your own room. We've seen long friendships form on these tours — five days of shared meals does that.
Children 4-12 get 50% off the adult rate. Children 1-3 are free. Children under 5 might struggle with the long drive days — we usually recommend the 4-day version (skip Olympia) for families with young kids.
Moderate. Each archaeological site has 1-2 hours of walking on uneven stone — comfortable shoes essential. Meteora has some climbs to monasteries (steps, not steep). Most days have 4-5 hours of driving and 3-4 hours of walking. This is not a strenuous tour but it's not a relaxation tour either.
Yes for A-Class, €112 for Tourist Class. Single supplement covers the cost of you having a room to yourself instead of sharing. If you're traveling solo and don't mind sharing with another solo traveler of the same gender, we can sometimes pair you up to skip the supplement entirely.
30+ days before: 25% retained. 16-30 days: 75% retained. 8-15 days: 75%. 0-7 days or no-show: 100%. Travel insurance with cancellation cover is strongly recommended for multi-day bookings — we can recommend providers if needed.
30% deposit via secure card link to confirm the booking. Balance is due 30 days before departure (or full payment up front, your choice). For groups of 6+ we can arrange wire transfer for the balance.
One message. One personal reply. One real price. The flagship multi-day tour, run by the same operators Viator uses.
