Time spent in each place (in days)
DAY 1:
Arrive Athens
Athens
Welcome to Athens, Greek adventurers! The clock starts now on uncovering this ancient country and all its quirks. We're calling it now, that this trip is THE ancient history lovers dream. Settle in to your hotel before catching up with the crew, where a traditional Athens affair is on the cards for those wanting to get straight down to the business of being cultural. On our optional dinner we'll head to the city's old town and dinner, traditional dancing as you feast your eyes (and stomach) with mouthwatering Greek tastes, under the watchful eye of the Acropolis to complete the scene. We can't think of a better way to get right into the Greek way of life.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
Visit the famous Plaka area
FREE TIME ADD-ONS
A Traditional Athens Affair
EUR 46.00
Athens
DAY 2:
Athens to Olympia via Corinth and Mycenae
Athens
Not a second of today will go to waste. Europe’s oldest city will unfold itself this morning as we take to the Parthenon and the Acropolis with the knowledge of a local, then explore the first modern Olympic Stadium from the 1896 Games. That's some really old Olympic vibes right there.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
Learn about the birthplace of modern society on a guided tour of Athens & the Acropolis
Corinth
Rugged mountains, cypress trees and citrus groves will pepper our pretty tour from Athens to Corinth, where we will stop to get a look at a man-made canal that squeezes ships through its tight cliffs in what seems like an impossible feat.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
See the Corinth Canal
See the Acronafplion citadel at Nafplion
Mycenae
What was once a military hotspot is now a jaw-dropping archaeological site amidst the mountain ranges of Greece. Our Trip Manager will uncover the 4,000 year history of Mycenae and Agamemnon’s Palace in a tale of heroics, myths and curses.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
Guided tour of Mycenae, including the Palace of Agamemnon
Olympia
And so the historical uncoverings continue as we land in Olympia, the place where the Olympic Games were birthed, and what is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
DAY 3:
Olympia to Delphi
Olympia
Fun fact: the first Olympic Games was held in 776BC, let's just let that number sink in for a moment...Wow. Today our Local Guide will show us all the important sites of those games, giving you the chance to sit in the 45,000 seat stadium where it actually first took place. If that's not a spine-tingling moment, we don't know what is. We'll wrap it up at the Temple of Hera (Queen of the Greek Gods), and place where the Olympic flame is lit every four years. We'll also visit the ruins of Zeus' temple before we head off on our journey, where you'll be sure to feel the vibes of one of the most well known Greek gods.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
Guided tour including Olympic Stadium and Temples of Hera and Zeus
Delphi
The sacred lands of Delphi will be ours this afternoon, again allowing us the chance to uncover world history right here in Greece. Despite being a place of monumental importance, it happens to have a cute little bar scene, and is a great place to sample the national drink of ouzo.
DAY 4:
Delphi to Athens
Delphi
Through the limestone columns of the Sanctuary of Apollo, we continue tapping into what was once the centre of the universe for Ancient Greeks. The remains of this Doric style building stands tall with it's remaining 6 (out of an original 15) pillars, and is the perfect spot to absorb the last bit of beauty that is the slopes of Mt. Parnassus before we jump on the trail back to Athens.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
Guided tour of Delphi including the Temple of Apollo
Athens
Well there you have it, the true scope of Greece's magnificence filed neatly into four incredible days. Walk away with a wealth of new knowledge and a new posse of friends, eager to get involved in yet another Contiki adventure.

FOOD

Wrap your taste buds around the fresh catch of the day, as well as traditional moreish favourites like moussaka and halloumi. We'll cover your breakfast every day, and will also treat you to 2 two dinners.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
You'll get the best bits of each city included as standard - think taking in towering ruins in Athens, exploring ancient and mythological Olympia and touring the town of Delphi - the most popular archaeological site in the whole country.
FREE TIME ADD-ONS
Give your itinerary a boost with a traditional meal in the hip Plaka area of Athens - basically a village within the city dotted with traditional tavernas and beautiful shady trees.
TRANSPORT
You and your new besties will be zooming around Greece in a luxury coach. The seats recline to a level that is optimum for afternoon naps - just try not to dribble on your neighbour.

I did the 4 day Spotlight on Greece tour. I like the tour itself. Very informative and you learn a lot about the culture. I specifically chose this tour for the learning experience. It was a bit annoying that it seems this tour is advertise differently in the US and Australia. The Americans went for the learning experience and the Australians went for partying. They needed to be told multiple times to stop talking or stop being rude to our local guides when we were on our tours.

I love love loved my Greek island hopping + Spotlight on Greece tour! The whole trip was organised so well and it made it such an enjoyable experience and meant I never had to worry about anything really. 3 weeks beachside learning about greek mythology and history is a pretty great way to spend 3 weeks.. Shout out to #contikikiera and #contikisophie for making the trip the best it could be

This trip was amazing. I booked this trip to see both land and islands in a short time frame. The land portion of the trip was educational and enjoyable. The sights were amazing. The cruise I felt was great value for money but was rushed. I would probably cut crete and patmos and have more times at the other islands. Alex, our tour manager, made sure that no matter where we were in greece, we had something to do. For example- on the cruise you had the option of doing a shore tour run by the cruise and if that was not what you wanted, Alex would conduct his own style of shore tour or he would recommend somewhere to chill on the island. He had the best tips and tricks to get the most out of it. The hotels were quite lovely, however I would have liked the option of being able to upgrade my cruise room (single beds for married couples???)
