Greece doesn’t do “just a bit of history”. This adventure gets straight to the good stuff, from Athens’ ancient icons and buzzing streets to the mighty ruins of Mycenae, the mountain drama of Delphi and the sky-high monasteries of Meteora. With Local Guides, big-name sights and time to make each stop your own, you’ll uncover the myths, legends and real-life stories that make Greece a classic for a reason.

Itinerary
- 1
Arrive Athens
Athens doesn’t just bring the history, it practically invented the good bits. Once the centre of the ancient world, today it’s your turn to dive in. Arrive at your hotel, then get out and explore the Greek capital your way. Around every corner, the ‘Cradle of Western Civilisation’ shows off with ancient temples, buzzing streets and ruins that have seen a few things. Go chasing big stories, bold views and those “how is this still standing?” moments before meeting your Travel Director and fellow travellers later on.
- 2
Athens Sightseeing – Nafplio
Climb to the Acropolis with your Local Guide and stand before the Parthenon, Athens’ skyline-stealing superstar. See the Panathenaic Stadium, Temple of Zeus and Hadrian’s Arch before stopping at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for the Evzone guards. Then pause at Vryssaki Art Cafe, a creative little hideaway serving coffee, sweet treats and a view worth lingering over. Later, journey to Nafplio via the Corinth Canal, arriving for a free evening. Add a Choice Experience to view Palamidi Castle, Bourtzi Fortress and the Sleeping Lion statue before dinner at a family-run local restaurant.
- 3
Nafplio - Delphi
Start with ancient Mycenae, where your Local Guide unpacks a world of royal tombs, mighty ruins and Bronze Age drama that did not come to play. Then swap warrior kings for winged workers at Axion Esti, a family-run organic beekeeping facility in Stemnitsa. This MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience is sweet, hands-on and properly local. Meet Sophia and Anthony, zip into beekeeper gear, get close to the hives, nose around the museum and taste honey straight from the source while learning why these tiny pollinators are big-time ecosystem heroes. After all that buzz, grab lunch in Mycenae your way before the road calls again. This afternoon, continue to Delphi and settle in for a free evening in this storied mountain town.
- 4
Delphi – Kalambaka
Delphi gets straight to the good stuff today. Walk the Sacred Way to the Temple of Apollo, the same route Alexander the Great once took when he wanted the Oracle to tell him he’d conquer the world. No pressure, then. With your Local Guide, get the stories behind the prophecies, big personalities and Pythian Games, where sport and the arts shared the stage. Add a Choice Experience and settle in for a hosted lunch at a local restaurant in Delphi. Good food, local flavour and no ancient riddles required. The views keep coming on the drive to Thermopylae, where King Leonidas and his Spartans made their famous stand, before you arrive in Kalambaka for dinner at your hotel.
- 5
Kalambaka – Meteora – Athens
Meteora doesn’t do ordinary. This morning, join a Local Guide to visit one of its sky-high monasteries, perched on towering rock pillars above Kalambaka and built by monks in the 14th century. The views are big, the setting is wild and the story behind this place is just as impressive. Later, return to Athens where the rest of the day is yours to spend your way. This evening, add a Choice Experience and gather with your new friends for a lively taverna night with traditional Greek food, drinks and dancing.
- 6
Depart Athens
You’ve followed legends, stood where history made a name for itself and seen Greece serve up the big stuff without breaking a sweat. Say farewell to your Travel Director and new friends today, but those “did we really just do that?” memories are coming home with you.
