Discover Athens
 
Greek Travelling provide a number of tantalising options for those with a desire to experience the highlights of the city and also explore Athens to discover its hidden beauties.  If you are visiting Athens and want to experience different aspects of the city life and enjoy the very many diverse attractions, Greek Travelling will customise the perfect tours just for you.  Besides the archaeological highlights such as the masterpiece of the classical architecture, The Parthenon, as well as the other monuments on top of the Acropolis Hill, the new Acropolis Museum, the Hadrian Arch, The marble Panathenaic Stadium and the Temple of Zeus, visitors can also enjoy the Athens Food, an introduction to the traditional Greek cuisine, visit the Greek Gastronomy Museum and end up dining at one of the famous Athenian spots underneath the central market.  Combine a visit at the temple of Poseidon in Sounion with a wine tasting experience at Mesogeia vineyards.  Enjoy the relaxing experience of the hot steam hammam baths, stroll around through the narrow streets of Plaka and taste traditional baklava and Greek coffee.

Also, tours from Athens to the Greek mainland and the Peloponnese will take your exploration even further.

For cruise ship passengers that visit Athens from Piraeus port and their time is limited, a 6 hour semi-private tour (max 25 pax) is the perfect option to see the most popular attractions and yet still experience the authentic city atmosphere.  Highlights include a visit to the new Acropolis Museum, climbing Acropolis Hill and Plaka, the old town of Athens.
 
A Journey through the Greek Mainland
 
Although Athens is an outstanding destination, Greece has more to offer than its capital.  Greek Travelling offer a fantastic selection of land tours that will open up a world of hidden wonders.

Delphi, just a 2.5 hour drive from Athens, is shrouded in the myths and legends of Ancient Greece.  Visit the “navel of the earth” to see the Oracle of Apollo and immerse yourself in the stories of the gods, led by a professional guide.  Enjoy lunch at the traditional village of Arachova and stop to see the monastery of Osios Loukas, a UNESCO monument dating back to the 10th Century.

The Peloponnese peninsula (in the south part of the Greek mainland just 2 hours away from Athens) invites you to discover the place where the Mycenaean civilisation flourished in the late Bronze Age and the expedition for the Trojan War begun.  Visit Nafplion, the first capital of Greece, and walk around the old town, a preserved monument of neoclassical architecture.  Unwind at a small sandy beach and swim in the crystal clear waters of the Saronic Gulf.  Not far, the ancient theatre of Epidaurus, built in 340 BC, still welcomes you to this day to enjoy a Greek tragedy theatrical play and experience its amazing acoustics.

Take a journey through time to experience running on the ancient stadium in Olympia where the first Olympic Games were held in 776 BC.  Explore the countryside to discover the products of the land of Elis such as the pure virgin olive oil and the wonderful wine.  Enjoy home cooked meals and take back with you the traditional Greek cuisine recipes.
 
Explore the Islands
 
Although officially a part of Greece, the surrounding islands feel a world away.  Greek Travelling introduce their guests to the beauty of Greece’s most popular islands; experience azure seas, white washed coast lines and an extraordinary abundance of history.  Nicknamed the ‘Island of the Winds’, Mykonos is bathed in year round sunshine and offers a wealth of historical landmarks.  Your exploration begins with boat transfer to Delos and a private guided tour of the island’s cultural highlights.  After ample free time for photographs, you will journey on to Mykonos and discover its famous chora (town).  Overflowing with intriguing shops, bars and restaurants and you will have the opportunity to dine at an authentic fish tavern whilst basking in the view of the famed island windmills.

The historical capital of the Dodecanese Islands, Rhodes is a monument to Greece’s past.  Celebrating the island’s story, Greek Travelling offer an incredible walking tour of Rhodes medieval town, a unique UNESCO World Heritage Site.  Focal points include the Collachium, the Palace of the Grand Masters and a fascinating archaeological museum, housed in a building constructed by the Knights of the Order of St.  John.
