How long before trip do you let us know hotels in the various places we will visit?

Do we book additional days in Athens (Arion Hotel) with you or directly with hotel? Currently they show know availability before the scheduled start nor after. Assuming Intrepid may have block of rooms.

During the periods of free time are there options for more physical activity? Hiking, bike rental, etc. We do like the sea kayaking option at one of the locations.

Do you have any details regarding the specifics of the transport from location to location? Duration, mode of transportation, etc?

What kinds of food will we be cooking? If we don't eat lamb are there alternatives?

While we will endeavour to cater to dietary requirements where possible, many meals and food activities on Real Food Adventures are set in advance in order to deliver a well-rounded experience of a country's cuisine. If you have dietary requirements and are concerned about whether this may impact on your ability to participate fully in all food-related activities on this trip, please let us know at the time of booking so it can be determined whether your dietary requirements can be met.

could i know more information of the accommodation for the Greece Real Food Adventure ?

just wanted to make sure there is air conditioning at all the hotels ?

Is it possible to do this as a private tour

Unfortunately Intrepid would not be able to offer this trip on a private basis as you would need to have 4 or people travelling in order to do this trip privately.

Great balance between cultural excursions and food exploration. The visits to the small producer, husband/wife or family business were all educational and stomach-satisfying.

Wonderful journey into the heart of Greece. Great balance between cultural excursions and food exploration. The island visits were more touristy, but the visit to the mainland was amazing. The visits to the small producer, husband/wife or family business of wineries, olive oil farm, and honey farm were all educational and stomach-satisfying. Also touching hearing the stories of how they created successful businesses. Tour guide was like guardian angel watching over our group of travelers!Show more

- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2026
  We can always request a hotel list for you however, this list is never a guarantee as the hotels are subject to change at any point leading up to or even during the trip.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2026
  Any pre or post accommodations needed you can request to book this through us. We do tend to have room blocks but how many really depends on the hotel's availability and how much they decide to give us. May is usually the start of the season so it can get very busy, we suggest requesting this service early on so if for any reason we cannot confirm you still have time to book your additional accommodations close by at a good rate.
