Fall in love with crisp white houses of Mykonos

Kick off your shoes and let down your hair as you touch down on the island playground of Mykonos. Wander through the cobbled lanes and white-washed houses, or take a dip in the sparkling water. Mykonos is known for its nightlife and you’ll need no excuse to stay out late and do as the locals do.

greece tailored by you

Tailor the Greece tour of your dreams with our range of Optional Experiences. Choose from adventures like exploring Akrotiri in Santorini and experiencing a traditional Greek wedding.

Visit Akrotiri in Santorini

Known as the ‘Greek Pompeii’, Akrotiri is a wonderfully-preserved archaeological site where you can get a glimpse of life on the island around 1450 BC.  Like the famous Pompeii, a volcano erupted, and the layers of ash ended up preserving the settlements nearby. Today, the covered site’s panelled pathways take you on a journey between small homes, clay buildings, and artefacts which give a glimpse into what was like for the ancient Minoan civilization when it was at its peak.

Discover the ancient wonders of Mykonos

Mykonos isn't just an island playground with glittering seas and lavish beach bars... it's also the legendary birthplace of the god Apollo and his twin sister Artemis. We took a boat ride to Delos, once a Sacred Island, and see the ancient remains of the Temple of Apollo and the sanctuary of Artemis. It's one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece and you can also marvel at the theatre, the old city, and take a stroll down the famous Lion Street.

Experience a traditional Greek wedding

The Greeks know how to party and we got in on all the festivities, delicious food, dancing and plate smashing at a traditional Greek wedding in Santorini. We were invited to observe the ceremony, meet the family and even break a plate or two as part of this unforgettable experience!

what to eat & drink in greece

With juicy meats, tangy cheese, homegrown olives, and rich pastries, Greek cuisine will keep you coming back for more. We’ll show you what to eat and drink in Greece, so you don’t miss a thing!

Gyros

Everyone goes gaga for gyros in Greece. These delicious wrap sandwiches (pronounced yee-ros) are a street food favourite, made with meat cooked on a rotating rotisserie and served in a soft pita wrap with fresh tomato, onion and tzatziki sauce. We’ll let you in on all the best girádika (restaurants that serve gyros) to try on your Greece holiday.

Ellinikos (Greek Coffee)

Do as the locals do and kickstart your day with a hot cup of ellinikos. The Greeks have a beloved daily coffee ritual that’s all about relaxing with a brew in hand. Whether you catch up with friends or simply watch the world go by, a Greek coffee experience is not to be missed.

Amygdalota

These lovely Greek cookies are crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside… And packed  with a delicious orange and almond flavor. Amygdalota are traditionally served after weddings and baptisms to symbolize new beginnings. You can try amygdalota in bakeries across Greece, but be warned - they’re insanely addictive.

when is best to visit greece

Greece is particularly irresistible during the warmer months of summer, autumn and spring, with long sunny beach days and island hopping up for grabs.

Best time for a Greece cruise

Summer is the classic season to head off on a Greek islands vacation, but if you can’t handle the searing heat, try September and October with milder weather and superb Aegean cruises.

Best time to explore Greece’s ancient ruins

The best time for Greece sightseeing is the shoulder seasons of March to May and September to November, when crowds are thinner and the weather is perfect for exploring ancient treasures.

Best time to explore the Greek countryside

We love to go wandering the countryside around April and May, when pretty wildflowers bloom and the days are sunny and clear.

packing tips for greece

Experience Tick Thin Icon

Boat shoes

If you’re taking to the sea on a Greek island cruise, remember to pack a pair of boat shoes and your favourite swimsuit.

Experience Tick Thin Icon

Long, breathable clothes

This Mediterranean country is sweltering during the summer and warm practically all year round. It’s best to throw on some long light clothing when you visit Greece.

Experience Tick Thin Icon

Sun protection

Prep for plenty of sun-drenched days on your Greece tour with extra bottles of SPF50+ sunscreen, good sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat.

how to travel responsibly in greece

Experience Tick Thin Icon

Help care for the beaches

You can help keep Greece's beaches beautiful by using reef-safe sunscreens, leaving shells and any wildlife where you spot them, and never leaving any litter behind.

Experience Tick Thin Icon

Avoid buying coral products

If you're looking for souvenirs, avoid buying natural sponges or coral products in Greece. When they're collected irresponsibly it has a destructive impact on the marine ecosystems of the region.

Experience Tick Thin Icon

Say no to plastic

Take care of the environment in Greece by saying no to plastic packaging and bringing your own reusable bottles and bags when you visit Greece.
