About this Trip

​

Take in some alternative landmarks and enjoy delicious cuisine on this journey across Greece. Discover the historical treasures of the Acropolis in Athens, hike to the summit of the Meteora Monasteries near Kalambaka, and spend a few days lounging on the pristine beaches of Syros and Paros in the Cyclades.

​

This 9-day Greek vacation takes you from Athens to the Meteora Monasteries to the islands of Syros and Paros. It features first-class or deluxe accommodations, tailor-made tours, gourmet experiences, and is perfect for travellers who want to blend an island stay with a cultural tour.

​

Your journey begins in Athens, the Greek capital, where each step reveals treasures of the ancient past or the vibrancy of modern culture. Head on a half-day city tour to see the famous historical landmarks, from the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first Olympics were held, to the Presidential Palace and Temple of Olympian Zeus to the legendary Acropolis, where you’ll see ancient temples like the Temple of Athena Nike and the Parthenon. Close out your tour with a visit to the new Acropolis Museum.

​

From Athens, board the train and ride the rails to Kalambaka, a small town at the foot of the grey rocks that are home to the monasteries of Meteora. In the afternoon, you’ll head on an easy hike into the mountains to admire the views of these spectacular monasteries perched atop the rocks. You’ll hike the Agia Triada trail up to Alsos Rock and Agia Triada Monastery before reaching Psaropetra to watch the sunset from a panoramic lookout point. You’ll stop by the Rousanu Monastery before returning back to Kalambaka. The next day, you’ll visit three more monasteries of Meteora before riding the train back to Athens.
