6 Highlights of Greece

Byzantine monasteries stand on the summits of rocky pinnacles soaring into the heavens, and forested canyons twist and turn through the lowlands. Grab an e-bike to scale the slopes of a nearby peak or grab a harness for a morning of climbing and rock scrambling in this wild adventure playground. 

Crete, Greece’s largest island, boasts a golden coastline of pristine beaches and wild mountainous landscapes - a walker’s paradise. Join our Walking Holiday in Crete to hike through the towering limestone peaks of the White Mountains and the steep cliffs of Europe’s longest gorge - Samaria. Coastal paths on the lesser-visited south side of the island lead you to the peaceful fishing village of Loutro where you can enjoy delicious fresh seafood in a traditional waterfront taverna and jump into the translucent sea for a relaxing swim. 

Steeped in myth and legend, Greece’s Peloponnese region is home to an array of historical sites and monuments. Join our Peloponnese Explorer Trip to explore the ancient streets of Athens, including the Acropolis citadel, and take a guided tour around Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Away from the cities, the wild landscapes of the Mani Peninsula feature rugged mountains, pristine bays of golden sand and azure-blue water and a scattering of coastal villages inhabited by the native Maniot community.
