Struggling to decide whether to visit Santorini or Hydra, Delphi or Olympia, the Meteora monasteries or Milos? Greece has so many appealing destinations that just planning where to go can be difficult. Our specialists know the country intimately, though, and can help you choose where’s best to go, depending on your interests. You might want to combine Athens and the Acropolis with Venetian mansions and fortresses, little-known temples or an island-hopping adventure across the Aegean. Any which way, our specialists can create a tailor-made itinerary that takes in the places to visit you most want to see. You can explore the country’s history at ancient sites such as Cape Sounion, and experience Greek culture and food along the way in places like the mountain village of Arachova and the coastal town of Galaxidi.

The experiences Greece has in store stretch far beyond the Acropolis, Olympia and Delphi. You can kayak through crystal-blue water, eat gyros while walking through whitewashed island villages, hike among mountaintop monasteries, and watch the sunset over the Aegean.
