Guided

View This TourDiscover Greece
The peninsula of Greece and its thousands of islands offer an unmatched variety of natural landscapes to explore, not to mention firsthand access to works of art and architecture that celebrate centuries of human history. The old trade routes, stone paved paths, and seemingly limitless hiking destinations across Greece offer a timeless experience for hikers of all skill levels.
Sloping cliff sides and flowery hills outside Kalavrita offer sweeping views of the horizon, natural waterfalls, and the village’s terracotta rooftops below. Stroll through the numerous walking trails of Chelmos Vouraikos National Park, where the sound of bells from flocks of sheep grazing on the hillsides can often be heard.
Follow the most ancient footpaths on Earth in Delphi, where trails pass the remnants of ancient sanctuaries and into shallow caves filled with beautiful stalagmites. See unspoiled Greece as it was in ancient times when you ascend the gentle hills of wildflowers to the easily accessible summit of Mt. Parnassus, the same mountainside where, according to the ancient poet Homer, the legendary Odysseus hunted wild boars in his youth.

Places of Myth and Legend
Greece is so deeply steeped in ancient history that nearly every city and village shares a tangible architectural connection to the distant past. Stroll the grounds of the Acropolis of Corinth, built in the 6th Century BCE, to experience what was once one of the most important cities in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Sample Greek Cuisine
Greek cuisine is unbridled, expressive, and free-ranging enough to satisfy all appetites from vegan to carnivore. Best of all, it’s quite healthy! Feast on horta, fresh wild greens paired with locally harvested oysters and lavraki—Mediterranean sea bass. And for dessert, indulge in bougatsa custard-filled pie, or revani, a syrup-soaked cake made with semolina and yogurt.

Greek Islands
Soak up the sun as you wander the many beaches of the Greek Islands. The geography of Greece is unlike any other in the world. The nation’s sovereign land is inclusive of 6,000 islands and islets scattered in the Aegean and Ionian Seas—of which only 227 are populated.
