Itinerary
Day 1
Athens
We recommend arriving a day or two early to fully explore this world-renowned city.
There are no activities planned until an evening welcome meeting.
Day 2
Athens
Explore the city on a guided walking tour to the Parthenon and Acropolis with a refreshment stop at a local non-profit cafe, Shedia Home, along the way. Enjoy a free afternoon to immerse yourself deeper into this historical city; opt to visit the new Acropolis Museum, the Ancient Agora, or the National Archaeological Museum. Later in the evening attend a cooking class with a local chef and enjoy a dinner of your creations.
Day 3
Athens/Meteora
Perched on high cliffs there are monasteries built on immense natural pillars and make for a once-in-a-lifetime sight.
Day 4
Meteora
Spend a full free day in the area. Head out and visit the mountain top monasteries on your own by bus or pre-book the Meteora Monasteries Hiking Tour to do it on foot with a local guide.
Day 5
Meteora/Delphi
Travel through mountain scenery around Mt Parnassos to Delphi.
Enjoy a visit to the ancient city of Delphi, then spend the evening exploring the charming little town or relaxing in a small café enjoying the views of the nearby valley.
Day 6
Delphi/Náfplio
Described as one of Greece's prettiest towns, the narrow pedestrian streets of old town are begging to be strolled upon.
Day 7
Náfplio/Athens
There is a wealth of ancient sites to explore within easy reach of Nafplio on a free day such as Epidavros, which is highly regarded as one of the most renowned of Greek ancient sites. Or choose to visit the famous Mycenae, also close by, with its spectacular treasury and ruins, or for another lesser-known Mycenean site visit Tiryns, just in the suburbs of Nafplio itself.
Day 8
Athens/Chaniá
Wander the streets of the old town with its fascinating blend of ancient and modern Turkish and Venetian architecture, reflecting the diverse history of the island.
Day 9
Chaniá/Agia Roumeli
Connected with neighbouring towns by sea or footpaths, the town has retained its charm. Enjoy time for swimming or relaxing on the beach.
Day 10
Agia Roumeli/Loutro
The majestic scenery, crystal-clear Mediterranean water, friendly people and peaceful atmosphere all make Loutro an ideal place to relax.
Day 11
Loutro
Take advantage of a free day for exploring the area. Head out for a swim and savour tasty seafood meals at secluded restaurants, or choose to hike Aradine Gorge.
Day 12
Loutro/Irákleion
Explore the impressive ruins of the Knossos palace complex offering a glimpse into the sophisticated architecture, art, and culture of the Minoans, dating back to around 2000 BC.
Day 13
Irákleion/Santorini
Fira, the main town, sits perched on the edge of the caldera with breathtaking views of multi-coloured cliffs, sugar-cube architecture, and great shopping.
Day 14
Santorini
Enjoy a free day to explore Santorini. Opt for a half-day volcano tour, shopping, relaxing on the beach, or make your way to the crater's rim to savour the breathtaking view. If the mood suits, soak up the sunset on a pre-bookable sunset Oia cruise.
Day 15
Santorini
Depart at any time.

Customer reviews & ratings
A great destination and a great trip overall. very well organised it was a great trip and great value
Dina Oct, 2024 VerifiedWe enjoyed seeing some of Greece that we would not have gone to on our own. It?s nice to have someone else do the organizing with travel connections. Also really enjoyed the local quaint hotels, eateries and locally owned establishments. If you like travelling in a smaller group to places you might not go on your own then G Adventure is great!
