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.

Overall, the tour was good. Our tour guide Maria was amazing. We paid extra to upgrade to the 4 star hotels, and still I’d say they were nothing more than a 3 star. Locations were not great, especially in Kalabaka and Olympia. There was nowhere that you could go to town on foot in the evening, in those 2 towns. Hotels were so isolated. Also the dinners included for the three nights in Olympia, Delphi, and Kalabaka were not great. It was just that mass produced buffet food. And because it was the same hotel chain for all 3 towns it was the exact same buffet dinner every night. And then because the hotels were so isolated it’s not like you could even go to town to pick up something else to eat. Another suggestion would be to reconsider some of the restaurants that we are taken to at lunchtime. With the exception of one of them, the others were rather gross with overpriced buffet options, and clearly tourist trap restaurants. But again, our tour guide and driver were excellent, and the tours and daily excursions were great.
