Greece Tours

1. Greek Island Hopping

Greece has more than 150 inhabited islands, and Greek island hopping is a popular way to explore the country. Every Greek island offers something different. If you’re planning a Greece trip with kids, Naxos is fun for the whole family, with ruins to explore and plenty of water sports. Speak to your Tourlane Travel Expert for personal recommendations about which island is best for you. They will also assist you with booking ferry transfers in advance.

2. Santorini

Visit Santorini and you’ll find turquoise waters, whitewashed houses clinging to the cliffside, and incredible views. Ironically, the best way to see it all is to get off the island. Hop on a day cruise around the black sand beaches to see the volcanic caldera in all its glory—ask your Tourlane Travel Expert for more information. Back on shore, you have to sample the local wine—the assyrtiko grape is known for crisp whites. When it’s time for dinner, brace yourself for delectable cuisine with an extraordinary sunset as a backdrop.

3. Mykonos

If you’re traveling without kids and are looking for a more adult atmosphere, the alluring island of Mykonos is a great choice for your Greece vacation. Though Mykonos is the smallest Cycladic island, its wealth of accessible beaches makes it the most popular. Head north for rugged seclusion or south for sandy luxury. Impress the locals by ordering the islander-favorite: Kremidopota onion pie. And don’t forget to treat yourself at one of the artisan boutiques in Mykonos Town.

4. Athens

If you’re interested in ancient history, then a visit to Athens is essential. Athens also has the premier international airport in Greece, so it makes sense to spend a few days at the start or end of your Greece vacation here. The most famous attractions are the Acropolis and Pantheon. If you’re interested in having a guided tour with your own English-speaking guide, your Tourlane Travel Expert will gladly organize this for you.

5. Peloponnese

Peloponnese was once the heartland of a mighty empire. The ancient people who made their homes in Greece’s southern peninsula left behind striking ruins for you to explore today. Mycenaean domes, Golden Age temples, and Ottoman mosques dot the mountainous region between the Ionian and Aegean Seas. Two things you must do while here: tour the original Olympic stadium and sample the local olives—the world has Peloponnese to thank for Kalamata olives. Less
