Description
Greece is first read in stone. This 14-day tour begins at the foot of the Acropolis, then heads down into the Peloponnese: the Corinth Canal, the Lion Gate of Mycenae, the stadium of Olympia where it all began. Next comes Delphi, which the Ancients considered the navel of the world, before reaching Meteora, its monasteries perched atop rock pillars.
Then the trip changes pace. Six nights in the Cyclades, between Paros with its fishing port and white lanes, a day in Mykonos down to Little Venice, and Santorini with the blue domes of Oia and its caldera.
A tour escort travels with the group from start to finish, with a guide for the mainland and an assistant on the islands. Most meals are included, among them a lunch at an olive oil mill and a farewell dinner with ouzo and folk songs.
The Greece of museums and the Greece of terraces, in the same trip.
