Mainland Greece Tours & Trips
Imagine walking into Epidaurus ancient theatre where the acoustics still work perfect. Greece’s mainland doesn't mess around with history. Meteora's monasteries balance on rock pillars that seem impossible, Olympia shows you where the Games actually began, and Delphi spreads its ruins across a mountainside. Nafplio's harbor area invites wandering, and Athens' Acropolis dominates exactly like it should.

Our tour guide for Meteora, George, was exceptional, knowledgeable and even philosophical. Meteora was stunningly beautiful. Our day trip guide in Athens was excellent too. Our excursion in Santorini was terrific! We enjoyed the boat, the views, the islands and jumping into the Aegean. All of our hotels were top notch. There were two downsides. One was only having 20 minutes for breakfasts in Athens because our tours started at 7:30 & breakfast opened at 7:00. Then we sat on the bus for an hour and a half while we collected other passengers. The other downside was the evening excursion of viewing the acropolis at night and a dinner with a traditional dance show. This involved a two hour bus ride, a surly guide, a venue that was extremely overcrowded, bad food, and a not at all entertaining show. Plus they ran out of wine. But as a whole I would totally recommend this tour but without the evening excursion.
