About the trip

This nine-night escorted journey with G Adventures navigates Greece's ancient sites, beginning in Athens with visits to the Acropolis and Agora, and a guided tour of the Acropolis Museum. From the city, the route heads to Meteora, where monasteries perch atop cliffs and an archaeologist leads the exploration of Theopetra Cave. A truffle hunt in nearby forests adds a curious touch to the itinerary.

Further south, the tour winds through the Peloponnese, including Olympia's archaeological site and an olive farm visit that concludes with an outdoor lunch. Visits to the Bairaktaris Winery in Nemea and the Mycenae Open Air Museum bring local flavours and mythology into focus. With a maximum of 22 travellers, this journey balances well-curated excursions with moments to appreciate the surroundings quietly.

Throughout, National Geographic experts and local guides deepen understanding without overwhelming. The itinerary’s pace allows for thoughtful engagement with Greece’s layered history, from early cave settlements to Byzantine artistry seen in monasteries and frescoes. The network of transport is private vehicles and walking, ensuring access to less trafficked spots as well as renowned landmarks. A straightforward welcome and departure round off the experience.
