Greece
Greece
Stretching back into antiquity, Greece can claim a history unlike any other country on Earth. Indeed, the very seeds of western culture were sown upon these glittering shores, and you won’t be hard pressed to find striking and poignant examples of some of early civilisation’s greatest achievements. From the grandeur of Delphi to Athens’ great Acropolis, from the Minoan Palace of Knossos to Ancient Olympia, these are the stuff of legend, sites to leave eyes wide and mouths gaping. And, alongside these titans of the ancient world, throughout mainland Greece and its myriad islands, you'l also find smaller, lesser-known wonders too numerous to mention. Think Santorini with its cliff-hugging houses, all whitewashed walls and piercing-blue domes, or the mountain-top monasteries of Meteora – spectacular, storied and far off the tourist trail.
But it’s not all about looking to the past. Greece's present is just as intoxicating. Endless coastlines serve up a wondrous mix of dramatic, cliff-framed bays and sweeping, sandy beaches, all framed by the crystalline waters of the Aegean and Ionian seas. These in turn host an abundance of wildlife, from dolphins and whales to seals and sea turtles. There are lush forests, vast olive groves and pretty vineyards set to a backdrop of still-active volcanoes whose slopes gaze down on idyllic villages, themselves alive with endlessly colourful festivals, traditional music and bustling tavernas serving fabulous food.
Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned Greece veteran, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to unique and special holiday experiences. And, whether it’s taking a chef-led tour through Athens’ food markets or joining a expert historian to examine the archaeological wonders of Knossos, our specialists will be on hand to design a holiday to excite and inspire. Perhaps you’ll go diving with dolphins in Rhodes, hire a yacht for a private sunset dinner cruise off Santorini, get a taste for the country’s burgeoning wine scene or escape the daytime crowds with a mountain hike followed by a traditional lunch at a local’s home. Whatever you choose, we’ve got the contacts and the expertise to make it happen.
