THE ONE THAT GIVES YOU THE PERFECT MIX OF ISLAND TIME AND ANCIENT HERITAGE SITES IN IDYLLIC GREECE

If you like exploring ancient worlds and getting caught in the sun, this is the trip for you. In Greece we take a step back in time and marvel at the remnants of ancient civilisation with 4 days of intensive exploring through the famous Acropolis, Agamemmnon's Palace, Deplhi, and the Unesco World Heritage site of Olympia. Then once you've eaten up all the history you can, we'll set sail for lemon-scented islands, remote beaches & getting away from the tourist trail. Depart from Athens and return sun-drenched and salt-soaked, full of the gloriousness of Greek food and endless summer days.

WHAT YOU GET

12 nights accommodation

6 nights in Hotel, 6 nights in Yacht

On the mainland, sleep twin or triple-share in charming hotels set in handy locations in the heart of each city we visit. Then it's fun and frolics aplenty on board Contiki's very own traditional sailing yacht, where for 7 nights at sea you'll be tucked into cosy twin-share cabins. Those who want their own space (or if their snoring demands as such) can upgrade to a single room for a wee bit extra.

12 included Meals

10 Breakfast, 2 Dinner

We'll be keeping you well-fed with breakfast every morning, and we'll treat you to two dinners as well. The rest of your daily menu is up to you. Sample cinnamon-infused moussaka, salty slabs of halloumi, and fresh salads crumbled with feta - not to mention fresh catch of the day - as we sail the Mediterranean sea.

Team

Expert Trip Manager, Driver, Captain and Local Guides

A highly trained Trip Manager who brings your adventure to life. An expert driver who knows foreign roads better than Google Maps. Local Guides who make tourist traps a thing of the past. A Captain for the Sailing portion of your trip. This is your team. Smart, friendly, fun, and integral to everything we do.

Transport

All transport included during the trip

When you're not zooming around Greece on a luxurious coach, you salty sea dogs will be spending balmy days and starry nights aboard an elegant yacht. It's equipped with everything you'll need, including hot water, powerpoints and the perfect spots for sunbaking. For the Sailing portion of this trip, you'll jump on board a Sailing boat run by a trusted Contiki partner.

Your group

Travel with other 18-35 year olds from around the world

Our trips are exclusively 18-35. This means you'll be travelling with people just like you, from all over the world- laughter and friendships always guaranteed. For the Sailing portion of this trip, you’ll join a smaller, selected group of travellers from your main Contiki crew.

Experiences

6 included, 1 optional that you can add

You'll get the best bits of each city and place we dock included as standard. Take in towering ruins in Athens, explore ancient worlds in Olympia & Delphi, snorkel the azure waters of secret bays and get stuck into some local ouzo in the quaint bars that dot Aegina.

Spotlight on Greece

I had great time on this trip. Loved learning the history of the Ancient Greeks at various sites and met new people. This is a trip for history lovers and first time Contiki travellers

Spotlight on Greece plus 12 Day Greek Island Hopping

having been on contiki before i thought i could rely on the website to tell me about the trip. the trip i booked wasn't the nice, quiet with adventure island hop i was expecting as per the intro of visit mykonos and see little venice and windmills. turns out i was on a party trip! i managed to see more of the islands by exploring myself while others recovered from hangovers. The only great point was my trip manager who helped advise me on places to visit and how to get there and also translated my dietary requirements even for meals that weren't included. would have chosen a more expensive trip to see the islands rather than the clubs if i had known i was going on club 18-30 on tour

It was well worth it. I appreciated how much was included compared to other trips in regards to additional optional add-ons, etc....

Spotlight on Greece plus 13 Day Greek Island Hopping

The trip was absolutely amazing and everything I could ask for. I got two groups cause I did a 17 day trip and had the pleasure of having both Meghan and Jacqui as my guides. Both of them made sure the group was safe and having fun. I must warn you though On the island the beds **** so be prepared to be sore in the morning.

Great deal for an amazing trip!

The trip manager was really cool and took us to amazing local spots! The activities went from nature to museums to wine and dining! It was all a blast and I highly recommend for anyone who has only a week to get away! The locals are all so friendly and the food is amazing! Beautiful hotels and easy transportation included! A must see!!

Greece done right!

Couldn’t have done it better. Had the perfect mix of culture and fun! Experiencing both the archeological sites and learning the history whilst going to the islands and experiencing the modern day culture of bar hopping!

absolutely amazing trip with contiki

Amazing! Would recommend

Worth it for what you get! On land are some amazing historical sites and great stops on the way :) The cruise was the best part with unlimited free alcohol (not top shelf) and we saw some wonderful islands. The cruise itself was the most relaxing part of the trip and the unlimited alcohol and food contributed as well as getting to relax in the pool or sun while cruising.

Exciting and fun

I loved it! I would have liked more time on Mykonos and Santorini and less time seeing the other islands.

An amazing week in Greece!

Although it seems expensive for the week I think it’s totally worth the money, just for the ease and stress-free experience

7 day Greek Island Cruise plus Spotlight on Greece

The cruise and trip manager were awesome! But false advertising on part of Contiki for going to Ios when we were never destined to go there. This is misrepresentation and I want compensation as I would have never booked this particular cruise if I had known it wasn't going to Ios. The Spotlight group was far too big to do tours around the museums and historical sights with.
