Greece, 12 Days · Tailor-made by car

The Peloponnese, Meteora Monasteries and Santorini Route

Uncover the impressive legacy of Classical Greece and discover the cities that have influenced the history of humankind and ends up enjoying Santorini

Explore the birthplace of Classical Greece on an unforgettable tour through the country's most emblematic places. Athens is the starting point for this fascinating tour that will take you to the major cities of Classical Greece. The first ones are located on the Peloponnese peninsula, an area dotted with forests, beaches and mythical cities such as Olympia, Delphi, Mycenae and Epidaurus. To reach them, you'll have to pass through the Corinth Canal, an incredible feat of engineering that links the Aegean Sea to the Ionian Sea, crossed each year by more than 10,000 boats. Step foot in the stadium where athletes competed in the first Olympic Games in Olympia. Feel like Saint Paul preaching from the pulpit of Corinth, a strategic city that was the source of eternal disputes, seeing as traffic between Africa and the Peloponnese was regulated from here. Visit Nafplio, former capital of Greece and known as "the city of the four fortresses", once used for protection from enemy attacks. In Mycenae, the city that Perseus founded and home to the protagonists of Homer's Iliad, you'll find ruins among which the tomb of Agamemnon is believed to be excavated in the rock. And when you get to Epidaurus, you'll be left speechless by the incredible acoustics of its ancient theatre, one of the best preserved in the world. It's said that a coin dropped on the stage can be heard from the very highest seat... and this in a structure that can fit 15,000 people! Discover the origin of the Pythonesses and the famous oracle of Delphi. But the truly unforgettable image of this trip will be Meteora. Here you'll find spectacular monasteries perched on towering rocks and boulders impossible to access in ancient times except with the help of ropes and pulleys. An architectural complex that will leave you speechless and take you off to a haven of seclusion and meditation like no other in the world. And as the finishing touch, enjoy a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters of Tolo beach. An unforgettable trip where culture, nature and the history of humankind go hand in hand.

End your adventure with a few relaxing days in Santorini.

Important remarks

- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.

- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.

- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.

- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.

- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.

- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.

- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
