Tour overview
On this special tour of Greece, start with taking a step back in time on a tour of the capital city’s must-see sights, like Constitutional Square and Parliament, the Temple of Zeus and of course, the iconic Parthenon and Acropolis.
Ferries then whisk you between islands, to the white-washed houses of Mykonos and Santorini’s inimitable blue door homes and white church domes. Last stop on the island hop is Ios, famously the party isle, but there’s so much to be seen by roaming the picturesque streets of Chora and swooning over the awesome Aegean views.
