Best time to visit Greece and Italy
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Our winter travelers really love the Italy-Greece combinations that work so well in the quieter season. The 10-day Venice-Rome-Santorini route gets particularly good feedback - you'll find much shorter lines at the Vatican Museums and more space to really take in the collections. After the museum visits, you can warm up with private tastings in local wine cellars. Another solid choice connects Athens to Rome through Sicily, where mild Mediterranean winter days are perfect for exploring Greek temples and Roman villas. We've adjusted the island-hopping segments to match winter ferry schedules and our guides pick just the right times to visit places like the Acropolis when the light is best and crowds are thin.

- Spring 2026
Our popular 15-day route from Athens through Sicily and the Greek Peninsula works beautifully in spring, with perfect timing for grape harvests at Tuscan vineyards and Meteora's monasteries as autumn colors emerge. Customers love our 10-day Athens-to-Rome tours connecting Delphi, Olympia and also ancient sites, where mild temperatures make exploration far more comfortable than summer visits. Early-season sailing holds special appeal with warm yet calm waters, letting you mix classical sites and island exploration at an ideal pace. Spring light makes Alberobello and Matera particularly photogenic, as late afternoon sun washes over those distinctive white trulli houses in soft golden tones. Many of our travelers choose tours combining mainland Greece with 3-day sailing segments, since spring creates perfect conditions for blending cultural visits with outdoor dining in atmospheric neighborhoods like Athens' Plaka and also Rome's Trastevere.

Those Mediterranean combination tours shine brightest in summer, with thoughtfully designed schedules that make the most of each destination. A comprehensive 12-day journey starts early at major sites like the Colosseum and Vatican Museums, before temperatures climb, then transitions to peaceful afternoon explorations of Venice's back canals or downtime at Tuscan countryside estates. The two-week cultural and coastal route balances morning visits to places like ancient Olympia with refreshing afternoon swims at Mykonos' seaside spots. Our travelers especially appreciate the multi-day cruise segments to Kusadasi, Rhodes, and also Patmos, which deliver both enriching historical insights and pleasant sea air. The Venice-Rome-Santorini combination proves ideal for summer travel, where exclusive early entry to St. Mark's Basilica helps avoid peak crowds, while evening BBQ cruises around Santorini's caldera cap off sun-filled days. Tour participants consistently note how well the itineraries balance structured morning tours with flexible afternoons, perfect for discovering local cafes or finding quiet corners in authentic neighborhoods.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall really shows off our Mediterranean tours at their best. Our travelers consistently give high marks to the 15-day Athens-Sicily route through the Greek Peninsula. You'll time it perfectly for grape harvests in Tuscan vineyards and catch Meteora's monasteries right as autumn colors start appearing. There's also a great option that pairs mainland Greece with three days at sea - the waters stay warm and calm, giving you time at both classical sites and island spots. The Athens-to-Rome route taking in Delphi and Olympia works particularly well now - you can explore ancient sites without summer heat and still enjoy dinner outside in neighborhoods like Trastevere. Our customers often mention how beautiful the routes through Alberobello and Matera are this time of year, with late afternoon sun making those white trulli houses look extra special.

How can I experience both Italy and Greece in one trip?
You'll love combining these two Mediterranean gems! It's totally doable and actually creates an amazing journey. Most tours connect the must-sees like Rome Florence and Venice with places like Athens Santorini and Mykonos using quick flights or overnight ferries. A lot of travelers love pairing Venice's gorgeous canals with Santorini's stunning caldera views or exploring Rome's Colosseum alongside Athens' Acropolis. If you're up for discovering hidden treasures you can also check out Meteora's incredible cliff-top monasteries or Sicily's Villa Romana del Casale.
How much time do I need for Italy and Greece?
You'll want at least two weeks to really soak it all in. This gives you enough time to properly explore Rome's incredible Vatican Museums and Forum which honestly need 2-3 days minimum plus discover Florence's Renaissance masterpieces at the Uffizi wander through Venice's local cicchetti bars in Dorsoduro and still have time for Athens' ancient wonders and some proper island-hopping in the Cyclades. While you could do it in 10 days you'd be rushing through the highlights but with 14+ days you can include magical places like Delphi's oracle site or spend time in Tuscany's Chianti wine region.
What's the best way to get between Italy and Greece?
You've got three main options that work really well: You can hop on a direct flight from Rome or Venice to Athens which takes about 3 hours catch an overnight ferry from Brindisi or Bari to Patras or Igoumenitsa with comfy cabins and beautiful Mediterranean views or take high-speed trains through Italy before flying to Greece. The overnight ferry's pretty special giving you that authentic Mediterranean experience plus saves on a night's accommodation while flights give you more time for exploring. Once you're in each country getting around is easy with Italy's train network and Greece's ferry system.
Which foods should I definitely try in both countries?
Each area has its own amazing specialties! In Rome you've got to try the cacio e pepe in Trastevere's traditional trattorias while Venice offers incredible cicchetti like baccalà mantecato in historic bacari bars and Florence serves up amazing bistecca alla fiorentina in the San Lorenzo area. Over in Greece make sure to taste real moussaka in Athens' Plaka neighborhood grab some fresh-caught fish at Santorini's Amoudi Bay tavernas or try authentic souvlaki at local psistarias. Don't forget about the wines either try Tuscany's Brunello di Montalcino or Santorini's unique assyrtiko from volcanic soils.
When's the perfect time to visit?
April-May and September-October are really your sweet spots with fewer tourists and lovely temps around 20-25°C. Spring's fantastic with Tuscany's wildflowers blooming and perfect hiking weather in Meteora while autumn brings all these amazing harvest festivals and wine events. Summer between June and August gets pretty hot hitting 35°C with lots of tourists but it's perfect if you're planning on beach time in the islands. Winter from November to March means better deals and more authentic local experiences though island services do slow down and there are fewer ferries running.
