The Spirit of Greece

Custom Travel | 13 Days

Savor Athens’ flavors on a foodie walk with tastings, cheese-making, and a traditional cooking class
Explore the Acropolis and Ancient Agora, uncovering myths and ancient history
Stroll through Naxos and Crete, rich in vineyards, ruins, and pink-sand beaches
Set sail around Santorini on a private catamaran along the stunning caldera
Dine on fresh, local cuisine, from mountain herbs to just-caught seafood

Discover Greece through a lens of legend, flavor, and sun-drenched splendor. This is more than sightseeing—it’s immersion. Feel the Aegean breeze on your skin, the crunch of sand underfoot, the taste of wild herbs in every bite.

Your journey begins in Athens, where the spirit of Athena still guards the Acropolis. From there, you hop across the Aegean to the whitewashed Cyclades to trace mythic footsteps through the winding alleys of Naxos and feel time stand in Santorini. In Crete, tradition takes center stage. Dine on recipes passed down for centuries and lose yourself in the slower pace of the countryside.
