Classical Greece, Santorini & Crete

Ancient Greece and its Islands

Discover the beauty and timeless wonder found only in Greece. Enjoy a panoramic tour of the highlights in Athens showcasing the city's ancient and glorious monuments, such as the Temple of Zeus, the Royal Palace, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the Olympic Stadium.  Visit the Ancient Agora of Classical Athens, the best-preserved example of a Greek agora. 

Continue to the ancient city of Delphi, one of Greece’s most important religious centers during Classical times. En route, visit the Leonidas Monument. This monument celebrates the small band of Spartan soldiers that were largely outnumbered by the Persian Army, yet still managed to defend Athens. 

Enjoy spectacular scenery as you cross the Arkadian Mountains en route to the ancient city of Mycenae for a guided visit of the excavations featuring the Beehive Tombs and the Lion Gate. Visit the tomb of Agamemnon. Make a stop at Tiryns, a hill fort from seven thousand years ago. 

Cruise to the most spectacular destination in the Mediterranean, the fabled island of Santorini. Upon arrival, travel through a fascinating landscape of vineyards, whitewashed chapels and volcanic cliffs to the spectacular town of Oia, where the best views of the crater are found. 

Spend the rest of your day exploring the island of Crete how you wish, with free time for the rest of the day. You could visit sites like the Venetian Fortress, Chania Cathedral, the Rethymno Fortezza Mosque, or simply relax and bask in the Mediterranean sun.
