Cultural tours in Greece

Our small group cultural tours of Greece take you into a world where the entire arc of western civilisation can be traced. Every fresco, mosaic and ruin speak to our understanding of life as we know it. From Crete, where the Minoans flourished in the second millennium BC, to the Mycenean lands of Homer’s heroes and beyond to the golden Byzantine mosaics in Thessalonica, our expert-led Greece tours cover it all.

Archaeological legends dominate our ancient Greece itineraries. We retrace the footsteps of pilgrims who journeyed to Delphi and marvel at the sophistication of the Parthenon – both UNESCO enshrined sites. Off the well-trodden path, our experts illuminate the astonishing Cyclopean walls of the citadel at Tiryns and reveal Venetian monasteries tottering atop the Cretian hills.

The sea, inseparable from Greek identity, forms another integral part of our journeys. Sailing the Aegean, takes you to spectacular coastal sites, whilst we gaze out across the sea from the Temple of Poseidon on Classical Greece.
