Home to fascinating mythology and folklore, the ancient Olympic Games and the birthplace to some of the world’s greatest philosophers, mathematicians and scientists, Greece is steeped in history. These are just a handful of reasons why your next travel adventure should be a trip to Greece.
Our Greece Tours offer spectacular scenery, extraordinarily rich Greek cultural heritage and the mouthwatering gastronomy that the country is famous for. In addition, we travel far from the busy islands in the south, to the hidden north, where you’ll find a Greece full of charm, history and few other travellers.
Situated between the Ionian and Aegean seas, this sun-drenched country is home to 18 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. There are plenty of ancient ruins for those seeking awe-inspiring historical sites. But there is so much more to Greece than its ancient sites, such as the world-renowned cuisine, and on our guided tour in Northern Greece, you will get to experience this first hand at Katogi winery.
History, culture and cuisine, Greece has it all, to make an amazing travel experience to remember. Take the time to explore ancient Greece on one of our small group tours or tailor-made holidays and find the charm that others miss when in Greece.
