Fantastic reasons why you should visit Greece

Think of Greece and you'll instantly be transported. Beaches kissed by turquoise blue waters. Pretty villages and towns filled with scent of bougainvillea and the colour of fishing boats bobbing in harbours. Ancient history that's visible through remarkable monuments. And red chequered tablecloths laden with mouth-watering food. Greece is a destination with laidback charm and landscapes that seduce all those who experience its enduring allure. Come on in...

Stunning Greek Islands

There are over 6,000 different Greek Islands from the clusters of the Ionian, to the majestic Dodecanese. And while, it would be impossible to see them all, our Greece tours will  take you to some of the best including the maze of cobbled streets and historic splendour of the Old Town in Rhodes. You can also enjoy breathtaking sea views across the Acropolis in Lindos.

Be stunned by the beauty of Symi, filled with pastel coloured houses and neoclassical architecture. You’ll be captivated by stunning Crete, and its dreamy villages nestled in mountains, and soaring cliff tops along its sparkling coastline. Then there’s Corfu with its sandy coves, cypress-dotted hills and its rich cultural roots, once home to Durrells, it still retains a captivating charm.

Fascinating history

The origin of the very first Olympic Games, Greece has long been lauded at the birthplace of Western culture. Visit the ancient capital, Athens, and be astounded by the wealth of history. From the Acropolis and its significantly important remnants including the Parthenon, we’ll walk amongst the citadel’s ruins that date back four millennia.

In Crete, step back in time at the Minoan Palace of Knossos, where an expert guide will talk you through the site's history and the tales inspired by it.

Gorgeous views

From the pretty, traditional windmills of glamorous Mykonos to the dazzling untamed landscapes of Leros and the volcanic moonscapes of Milos, everywhere you turn in Greece, the views are spellbinding. And you can experience some of the best sunsets in the world. Head to the jewel of the Greek Islands, Santorini, on our cruises to Greece and discover Oia, dotted with the white-washed buildings and blue roof tops. Grab a spot in the twisting lanes, and be prepared to gasp as the sky changes to a magnificent russet as it reflects across the shimmering sea.

Delicious food

The Greeks love their food. And what’s not to enjoy? Fresh breads, olive oil, crumbly feta and a vast choice of local ingredients from fresh Mediterranean vegetables, lemons, fish and meats. Why not try a koulouri, sesame covered rings that go superbly with coffee. Or how about the sweet gooey deliciousness of loukoumades dripping in honey and topped with almonds. From gyros, a meat sandwich, and pork souvlaki served with tzatziki to spanakopita pies filled with spinach, hunger won’t even be an option on our Greece tours.
