Day by day

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Athens

    Welcome to Athens, where myths are born and legends live on. This evening, meet your fellow travellers over your first included dinner.
    D
  2. 2

    Athens

    Time travel back over 3,000 years to the iconic Acropolis. Explore this astounding temple complex with a local guide, including the extraordinary Parthenon dedicated to Athena. The rest of the day is yours to discover more remarkable feats of the ancient world at the National Archaeological Museum, or settle into a traditional taverna.
    B
  3. 3

    Athens – Naxos

    The piercing blue waters of the Aegean are calling! Following breakfast, travel by scenic ferry to Naxos – a lesser-explored and unspoilt gem of the Cyclades islands. This green, verdant island hugged by mist-topped mountains oozes authentic Greek charm. Take a stroll around the maze of lantern-lit cobbled streets before dining together this evening.
    BD
  4. 4

    Naxos

    Experience an exclusive local adventure at a working family farm. Sample a selection of flavourful local cheeses and homemade marmalades, then prepare traditional Greek lunches under expert guidance. Tour the farm and dig into your creations. The evening is yours to spend as you please – why not round off the day with a tangy glass of kitron, Naxos' trademark spirit?
    BL
  5. 5

    Naxos

    Discover the treasures of Naxos at your own pace. Meander up to the Kastro – a medieval citadel housing an archaeology museum – or amble along the coast and indulge in people watching. As the sky transforms to pink, stroll along the causeway to Portara, the 'Temple of Apollo', a vast sixth-century marble doorway on a neighbouring islet. Dine like gods and feast on the island's bounty of rich cheeses and local meats.
    BD
  6. 6

    Naxos – Corinth Canal – Nafplio

    Travel westwards towards the handsome coastal city of Nafplio. Once back on the mainland, wind through mountainous, vineyard-speckled landscapes, stopping at the striking Corinth Canal – the narrowest in the world, wedged between sharp cliff faces. Upon arrival in Nafplio, admire Bourtzi Castle, an atmospheric Venetian fortress floating in the harbour, before sampling local fare in a homely tavern.
    BD
  7. 7

    Nafplio – Mystras – Gytheio

    Spend your free morning climbing the 857 steps to the top of Palamidi Castle (or take a short taxi ride!) for spectacular 360-degree vistas of the sea and valley. After lunch at your leisure, regroup and make your way to mysterious Mystras, a fortified medieval city that once served as the Byzantine capital, perched along a steep mountainside. Later, travel to the peaceful port town of Gytheio and share stories of the adventure over your included dinner.
    BD
  8. 8

    Gytheio – Diros Cave – Areopoli – Gytheio

    Delve into the magical Diros Cave, a spellbinding maze of turquoise waterways and astonishing rock formations, with a local guide. Return above ground to visit the captivating town of Areopoli, where your expert Tour Leader reveals hidden corners of rustic stone-built streets. Back in picture-perfect Gytheio, choose from an abundance of seafood restaurants for dinner, and visit a traditional ouzeri for a taste of Greece's renowned liquor.
    B
  9. 9

    Gytheio – Kardamyli – Kalamata – Olympia

    Journey deeper into the remote Peloponnese peninsula, the heartland of Greek legend where monsters and gods of mythology were born. Visit Kardamyli, a picturesque fishing town with a sleepy pace. After free time for lunch in nearby Kalamata, enjoy a traditional tasting at a long-standing olive farm in Olympia, where you'll receive a masterclass in the art of olive oil production. Reflect on the highlights so far over your group dinner.
    BD
  10. 10

    Olympia – Nafpaktos – Delphi

    Begin with a locally guided tour of legendary Olympia, the birthplace of sporting glory and birthplace of the Olympic Games in 776 BC. Wander the shaded ruins and imagine the roar of the crowd. Next, visit the lovely seaside town of Nafpaktos, brimming with history and sporting a dramatic Venetian castle and delightful historic port. Finally, arrive at Delphi – considered the centre of the world by ancient Greeks.
    B
  11. 11

    Delphi – Itea – Delphi

    Start the day with sacred stories as a knowledgeable local guide shares Delphi's secrets. This ancient mountainside site was the epicentre of religion and culture, home to Pythia – the oracle or 'high priestess' – who made prophecies consulted about all major decisions in the classical world. Embrace the view of the stunning surrounding valley before departing for Itea, where you'll live out Winnie-the-Pooh's fantasy with a delicious local honey-tasting experience. Return to Delphi and dine as a group for the final time.
    BD
  12. 12

    Delphi – Arachova – Athens

    On the final day of your Greek journey, take the scenic trail back to Athens. Call in at the elegant town of Arachova, which nestles along the foot of mighty Mount Parnassus. Back in the capital, it's time to say your goodbyes.

Travel at 60 Social Getaways

Travel further when you're not travelling alone

Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.

Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.

  • A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
  • Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
  • Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.

Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
