Your guide to visiting Greece
Popular Destinations in Greece
Greece is a captivating blend of ancient legacy and modern charm. From sunlit ruins to lively city squares, and coastal escapes to mountain views, our escorted tours reveal the heart of this historic land.
Athens
The beating heart of Greece, Athens is where ancient history meets contemporary life. Explore the Acropolis and its crowning jewel, the Parthenon, then wander through Plaka’s cobbled streets, lined with cafés, artisan shops, and neoclassical architecture. The city’s museums, markets, and vibrant nightlife offer a rich contrast to its timeless monuments.
Delphi
The Amalfi Coast is a stunning stretch of coastline known for its dramatic cliffs, turquoise waters, and charming villages. It’s a perfect complement to the historical depth of nearby sites like Pompeii.
Tolo
Tolo is a charming beachside village known for its golden sands and calm waters. It’s a popular stop for those seeking a slower pace, with easy access to nearby archaeological sites like Epidaurus and Nafplio.
Mati
A quiet coastal town northeast of Athens, Mati offers a relaxed atmosphere and scenic seaside walks. It’s an ideal base for exploring the eastern Attica coastline and enjoying fresh seafood in a laid-back setting.
Best Time to Visit Greece
Greece enjoys a Mediterranean climate with long, warm summers and mild winters. While each season offers its own charm, spring and autumn are especially ideal for exploring regions like Attica, Athens, and the nearby Peloponnese—balancing pleasant weather with fewer crowds and vibrant landscapes.
Spring (March – May)
Spring is a beautiful time to visit Greece. Wildflowers bloom across the countryside, archaeological sites are bathed in soft light, and temperatures are comfortably mild. It’s perfect for walking tours in Athens, coastal strolls in places like Mati, and scenic drives to Cape Sounion or Nafplio.
Summer (June – August)
Summer brings hot days and lively energy, especially in Athens and coastal towns. Expect bustling beaches, and long evenings spent dining al fresco. While inland areas can get quite warm, sea breezes along the coast offer welcome relief.
Autumn (September – November)
Autumn is a favourite for many visitors. The heat softens, the light turns golden, and the harvest season brings fresh local produce and wine. It’s an ideal time for cultural sightseeing, relaxed days, and exploring historic towns like Epidaurus without the summer crowds.
Food & Drink in Greece
Greek cuisine is celebrated for its freshness, simplicity, and deep connection to tradition. Each region brings its own flavours—from coastal seafood to hearty inland dishes and vibrant street food. In Attica and the Peloponnese, you’ll find a delicious mix of classic recipes and local specialties.
Must-Try Dishes:
Souvlaki – Skewered and grilled meat, often served with pita, salad, and tzatziki. A staple of Athens street food.
Moussaka – A comforting baked dish of layered eggplant, minced meat, and béchamel sauce, popular across the mainland.
Fava – Creamy yellow split pea purée, often served with olive oil and onions.
**Loukoumades ** – Sweet, golden dough balls drizzled with honey and cinnamon.
Pair your meal with a glass of local wine, ouzo, or tsipouro, and finish with a strong Greek coffee or a chilled freddo espresso. Whether dining in a seaside taverna or a bustling city café, food in Greece is a celebration of simplicity and flavour.
