Top Greece trips

Step back in time at the Athens Acropolis
Sitting in the heart of a wooded park, the Acropolis of Athens is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most famous collections of buildings in the world. They include the Propylaea gateway, the Temple of Athena Nike and the greatest of the lot: the Parthenon. Discover it on our group vacations to Greece.
Island hop the most famous Cycladic islands: Mykonos, Santorini and Ios
Greek island hopping is classic part of any trip here and as the beating heart of the Cycladic islands, Mykonos, Santorini and Ios are all essential ports of call. Mykonos is the 24/7 party island, while the tumbledown white and blue villages of Santorini and spindly windmills of Ios are beautiful sights no traveler will ever forget.
Party time in Mykonos
Mix beach life with nightlife in Mykonos, one of the most famous party places in Greece. Soak up the sun and cool off in the cobalt waters of Paradise Beach before the evening starts at the Beach Bar and ends in style in the Paradise Club Mykonos. And remember: if you tire of the late nights, there are a couple of thousand other islands just a boat ride away.
Visit Olympia, the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games
Olympia’s Temple of Hera was the 8th century birthplace of the original Olympic Games. Visit today and you can either walk in the footsteps of the early Olympians among the temples and arenas, or go harder by hammering down challenging bike trails, kayaking nearby rivers or heading to the coast for some hardcore kiteboarding.
Eat Gyros, Greek street food
Part kebab, part sandwich, all delicious! Gyros is fresh grilled rotisserie chicken, pork or lamb, sliced up and served inside a fluffy pita bread and served with tangy tzatziki dip, tomato, onions and chips. It's a must try for street food in Greece. Add it to your Greece trip package bucket list.

VIEW ALL GREECE TRIPS

Athens
Travel back to the 5th century and see the place where our myths were born. Nowhere does ancient architecture like Athens, where you’ll bounce like a pro between rooftop bars and hilltop citadels.
Mykonos
Legendary nightlife, with super clubs open ’til the early hours. Iconic windmills dating back to the 1500s. Cobblestones, modern art, watersports. This land of white and blue just ‘blue’ you away.
Santorini
With cliffside villages, whitewashed buildings and a submerged volcano, you’re sure to lose yourself in Santorini’s postcard beauty. But don’t worry, the magnificent sunset will help you find yourself again.
Paros
You came for the bayside vibes, the jagged rocks and the boats… but you fell for the traditional villages and the Byzantine churches. The best Greece destination to enjoy locally sourced seafood… by the sea.
Ios
All singing, all dancing, all sipping champagne on the balcony…ing? Ios is as pretty as its Cycladic siblings, but also a great spot for partying, with plenty of beachside clubs and bars to choose from. Plus laid back beaches to sleep it all off.
