Greece holidays

Our leisurely escorted tours and cruises of Greece are the perfect way to soak up ancient history along with the tranquil beauty of whitewashed villages, sparkling seas and sun-drenched shores.

Athens, the capital, ranks alongside Rome as one of Europe's most historic cities. Your Greece cruise or tour takes in the mighty hilltop Acropolis, Hadrian's Arch and the Temple of Olympian Zeus. Our Greek tours and cruises also include the ruins of ancient Mycenae and Epidaurus, where the classical Greek theatre is still used today.

Discover Crete, birthplace of Zeus, with its picturesque harbour town, Rethymnon. On our Greece cruises and tours you can also visit the sun-baked island of Mykonos, and Santorini, with its black volcanic sands and white cliff-top villages.
