About the trip

This tour begins in Athens, where ancient columns stand among the city's modern buzz. Here you tackle the Acropolis from an archaeologist's perspective before heading northwest to Kalampáka, the gateway to the vertiginous monasteries perched on the Meteora rock formations. Between sharp cliffs, the monasteries have survived centuries and offer a landscape quite unlike anywhere else.

Next, the trip swings south toward the wine region of Neméa for tastings of local varieties accompanied by cheese and mezze. The route continues through towns like Náfplio and sites such as Mycenae and Epidaurus, places echoing with echoes of Greece’s classical age. Along the way, the group joins a local guide and dogs for a truffle hunt in the nearby forests, a hands-on reminder that Greece is more than ancient stones.

Organised by G Adventures, this small-group escorted tour keeps groups to a manageable size and features local guides for depth on history and culture. Accommodation tends to be in family-run hotels, many central and characterful, with the occasional absence of elevators a reminder that travel here requires a bit of handy luggage management.
