Where you're going on your Custom Group Greece Tour
Why tour Greece?
There are a few countries where you will feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Greece is a country where history comes alive and where is a collection of historic sites span four millennia. A land of legends, of gods and goddesses and where Myths meet history in fascinating temples and ancient ruins, sunny days at the beach and delicious Greek food and wine.
Not to mention it’s charming islands that blend traditions with local influence, a touch of chic, romance, adventure, and the most incredible sunsets. The most famous of the islands, Santorini and Mykonos are glamorous and effortlessly chic with their cubic houses nestled into the cliffs, whitewashed windmills and blue and red church domes.
But beware the lesser-known islands offer Greece without the crowds and on some islands without cars. Go where donkeys are the main transportation and will take you anywhere. Party the night away or uncover untouched charm. Island hop aboard fast-ferries, relax on the bright white sands of beautiful beaches and splash in the brilliant blue water. Enjoy your dinner on a Catamaran.
