travel agencies for greece

My wife and I wanted to see Greece from a Cultural point of view, but also to experience the people and everyday Greek life. We didn't want to have to set up the whole trip ourselves, as we were busy and tired after a tough year. My wife stumbled upon ...

Greece Insiders online. We told Elena what we wanted and within a couple of days, she'd put together a pretty much perfect trip. With a few small adjustments...it WAS the perfect trip! We had to do nothing but turn up! A wonderful driver, the best guides we could ask for, and nice hotels, made for the trip of a lifetime. One of the most important things for me, was the fact that Elena and Lydia made themselves available to troubleshoot any issues, at any time. The comfort of knowing that anything that might go wrong would be handled for us...was priceless! Thanks to Elena and Lydia, for a fantastic experience!!

We planned a trip with our 2 adult kids & spouses through Greek Insiders & were thrilled with the results. Our trip specialist, Chris, helped us plan a perfect itinerary - small boutique hotels, spectacular views, historical tours, a winery tour…. everything we asked for and more! Every detail was ...

planned - from airport transports, flights to/from Santorini, rental car, tour guides, etc. We loved the fact that this trip was tailored to our personal interests. It was so easy to plan as Chris communicated with us directly. Anytime we had a question, we got a quick reply. We especially enjoyed driving through the Peloponnese Region - the scenery was gorgeous along the coast, and the pace was much more relaxed than Athens. We stayed in 3 different towns and 3 very different hotels, but all were superb! We had never planned a trip quite like this, but Greek Insiders and Chris made it easy and manageable. The trip itinerary was so detailed - it was like having our own personal tour guide with us.

So many spectacular sites and seemingly so little time. Our local agent, Alexandros, through TravelLocal really got us to the best sites and with great guides. All logistics were flawless (how often can you say that). The Hania area in Crete and Delphi were true standouts.

What an amazing 2 week trip to Greece! We worked with Elena to plan an itinerary that included many historical sites and cultural activities that Greece is known for. We were not disappointed. The hotels were top notch and in great locations for exploring the area. We especially liked Nafplio, ...

which is a charming town with great access to Mycenae and Epidaurus. Delphi is an amazing area and Thessaloniki offered some of our best meals of the trip. Our driver was so professional and personable and made sure we had great snacks! We were very impressed by the guides at the archaelogical sites and I highly recommend using a guide to get the most out of your visit. Thanks to Elena and the many other people we met for making us feel welcome and helping us enjoy their amazing country.

Elena from Greece Insiders arranged a 16 day trip for my wife and I. We spent time in Athens, Naxos, Milos and Santorini. Elena booked hotels, arranged transportation, and booked guides/tours. She even had drivers arranged for transportation to and from airports and ferries. All of the guides were for ...

just us and were fantastic—food tour in Athens, Acropolis, Mt Zas hike and small villages tours on Naxos, etc. Hotels and all transportation were great. We felt very taken care of and the tours gave us a lot of history and context for what we saw, as well as a chance to meet and interact with locals.

We enjoyed our trip. The drivers and guides were excellent. The drives were very friendly and helpful. The guides new their Greek history and was able to explain it in a fashion for us to understand. The only thing that I would change is when I am planning my trip, ...

I would not do multiple days together of guided tours. There were times by the end of the 2nd day I was not able to absorb the information they were talking about. We loved loved our days in Zagori, the place we stayed was excellent (our favorite) and the gorge and bridges were beautiful. I would highly recommend this to anyone that is going to Greece. The water in Zakynthos was so blue and clear, it was magnificent, and would highly recommend this island to anyone.

The scenery in Greece was spectacular! We traveled to Thessaloniki, Zagori (favorite), Meteora, Delphi, Athens, and Zakynthos. All of our local guides were very knowledgeable about the ruins, Greek history and mythology, and took us to many notable museums. However, I am not a history buff, so all the facts, ...

dates, exhibits overwhelmed me. The trip was very well planned for getting around the country and seeing the sights, except on Zakynthos and in Rafina.We took lots of pictures to remember our trip by and share with others.

I highly recommend this company for your travel to Greece.Elena our trip planner advisor was very responsive to all our requests. She booked every tour, every hotel, and all we had to do was show up. She was easy to reach with questions while we were in Greece.We had a ...

private driver, Andres, for almost a week, our guides, 4 in all, were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Honestly, our guides may have been the best guides in all of Greece. They treated us so well! Making sure we had everything we needed and took us everywhere we went. So much better than a group tour.Our trip was tailor-made for us, just the way we wanted to see Greece. First class!

Superb - that was our experience with Chris and his Italy team.  Upon first reaching out to KimKim we were immediately connected to Chris. He understood our hopes and preferences and compiled extraordinary hotel accommodations in four cities. He set up the right-fit tour guides and transportation for us.  Chris ...

and his colleague, Maria Grazia, supplied daily detailed information with names and connections.  Midway through our two week Italy stay, we switched plans when Chris and Maria Grazia fully understood and reacted quickly to make other plans for us. Chris suggested an online meeting before we left our Boston home to review our specialized itinerary  which proved extremely worthwhile and allowed us to make a face-to-face connection.  Thanks to the Whatsapp application we had both Chris and Maria Graze in our pockets 24 hrs. per day.  We did have some off-hours communication that both Chris and Maria Graze accepted helpfully and graciously - they both possess a great sense of humor.  We could not more strongly recommend working with Chris and his hand-picked team.

The historic sites throughout, Greece are fascinating, an easy to access. The local food and market was incredibly delicious. Consider traveling for two weeks or longer to the islands and to the Peloponnese. Also, a private tour/driver is most convenient and improves your ability to enjoy Your adventure. Greece Insiders is a superb travel ...

planner. They are very responsive, attentive, and made attention to detail a priority.

Our experience was absolutely wonderful ! Being that we both have never heard of the company ,we were a bit hesitant since we were planning our honeymoon and we wanted everything to be perfect! That fear and hesitation was quickly squashed the moment we were able to speak to our ...

travel guides, first we had Elena who initiated our itinerary and hit the nail on the head, gave us exactly the type of trip that we wanted and was looking for especially for our honeymoon! Then we had Lydia who finished off the tail end of our planning before getting to Greece and she was incredibly communicative and responsive to when we had questions and helped us get all of our things together prior to going on our trip! From the moment we arrived in Greece, everyone whom we had come in contact with was so incredibly nice and fun it felt like we were hanging out with friends! When meeting with each of our tour guides , even Lydia our travel guide one night, Being in a new place it was so refreshing to have amazing conversations about the culture and just being in the company of good genuine people. Lydia would check in with us through out our trip to make sure we were okey and it was incredibly comforting. We kept saying to ourselves each day it can't get better and somehow they both topped it off when we had different types of food tours ,Wine Tours and the sheer beauty of each archaeological site was just amazing. We never felt rushed in any way being that it was our honeymoon we wanted to remain active but also have some down time and their itinery gave us a lot of time to explore on our own, places that we wanted check out. We did all of the mainland and we had the same driver each day we traveled which was like one big road trip with a great friend! There was even one day we were supposed to do a hike, the weather ended up being crappy and our driver yannis was on the case in no time he made some calls and we were able to still do something with the day and make it so much fun even though we didn't get to initially do what was planned! That being said I cannot recommend them enough! From the moment we got to Greece, till the moment we left , everybody was so incredibly nice our experience was phenomenal and we cannot wait to use them again to go back!

Greece Insiders put together the perfect honeymoon for us! They were recommended from a friend that used them in the past and did not disappoint. The planning process was very easy and smooth. Lydia made our itinerary and we had a video meeting to discuss our thoughts. We asked to ...

change a few things and she adjusted quickly and all was set to go! When we arrived Lydia met us at our hotel and we had coffee together and she was letting us know if we had any questions, concerns or issues she would be there to help. Everything was great, including smooth transitions between islands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone!

We (three adults) worked with Alexandros to plan our 11 day trip to Greece. He listened to our interests and helped us to design a perfect trip that immersed us in the history and culture, while allowing for some downtime to relax. Every tour was fabulous. All hotels that they ...

arranged for our stay were excellent We would not change one thing that we did. Any questions we had during our time in Greece were immediately answered by a representative from Greek Insiders via text. We also received text reminders for flights and other logistics which we found reassuring and helpful. Normally when we travel we plan most of our trip on our own, but with needing to arrange transportation to different islands, we felt getting assistance was a good idea. If traveling to Greece I highly recommend reaching out to Greece Insiders to assist with your planning.

I highly recommend Greece Insiders. This was my first trip using a company like this and I have to say - I wish there was a Greece insiders for every country! We worked with Lydia and she was really really fantastic! She responded quickly to every request and she tailored ...

an Athens trip for me and my wife with some of the best hotels and best tour guides. I cannot wait to book my next trip and look forward to working with Lydia and Greece insiders again!

We finally had our dream trip to Greece! It was so unforgettable and better than we ever expected! Athens has become one of my top 3 favorite cities in the world. The history, the culture, the food, everything there is just amazing.Greece Insiders has designed a perfect trip for us. ...

Our entire itinerary is so well planned. From food tour to day trips to days for ourselves, we experience something new and exciting every single day.Our Destination Expert Elena is such a great guide. She has been so approachable and helpful since we inquired about traveling to Greece. Her warmth and friendliness have made us feel free of any worries from booking the trip through our stay in Athens. A big thank you to Elena's wonderful professionalism!Highly recommend Greece and Greece Insiders!

Elena Kymiri helped plan our trip in March 2023, we started and finalized in September. In February 2024 we had a video conference going over the plans. I asked several questions about places we could visit when we were on our own time. Elena made decision where to go and ...

how to travel easy. She includes local restaurants which we reviewed along with the hotel suggestions. In some cases, the tours, wineries, etc included a lunch, around 2-3 pm and at night we weren't very hungery and may buy a snack at the local mini market. We had both some small group tours - maximum 8 but we only had maybe 5 on it including our self, some it was just us 2, we also had private tours, Athens, Delphi, Chanai. Some of the Tour companies were Luxury Tours, GS-ES tours, and driver in Athens was TBS , ask for Yani with them- great driver and very personable - we met the tour guides either at the site or they may ride with us in Athens. The tour guides were very good and we had fun teasing and learning from them. All the hotels which she booked were within walking distance of many sites or transportation was easily gotten, we used buses as well as hotel drivers. Elena is worth the cost of the travel. Since we were flying in, we elected to fly via Athens to Crete so that we wouldn't be go back and forth to airport to go from Athens to Crete or Crete to Athens to Santorini and then back to Athens to fly out. The cost to fly from Athens to Crete via Sky wasn't much and we arrived in Crete about 5:30 pm. We had no complaints about the Hotels, they were clean, very helpful staff and great locations.

Our advisor was Julia and she was amazing. We went for our birthdays and Julie set up a perfect 18 day trip for us. We would definitely use this company again.

Useful information for planning your vacation in Greece

The official language of Greece is Greek, which is written using the Greek alphabet. English is widely spoken in the cities and on the more-visited islands, although in smaller towns and rural areas it’s less common to find English speakers. Street signs, as well as signs in the airports and ferry terminals, are mostly written in Greek and English.

Greece uses the euro (€), which you can buy easily before you travel. You’ll find ATMs in all cities and larger towns and credit cards are widely accepted. In smaller shops or for small purchases, you might be asked to pay in cash. Banks and exchange bureaus are easy to find but only open for limited hours during the day.

In Greece, you should try food such as dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), souvlaki, (grilled skewered meat) and spanakopita (spinach and feta in filo pastry). Greek food ranges from fresh, seasonal salads to rich and hearty dishes such as moussaka (a layered potato or eggplant dish), but it’s common to eat meze — a selection of hot and cold small dishes — to share among your table. 

Freshly caught fish is typical on the islands, while lamb and goat are popular meats. You’ll find a wide variety of olives and plenty of fresh dips such as taramasalata (fish roe dip) and tzatziki (yoghurt, cucumber, and garlic dip).

Sticky, flaky, honey-soaked desserts such as baklava at the end of meals complement fiery Greek digestifs like ouzo and tsipouro. While Greece isn’t traditionally known for its wine, the Nemea region of the Peloponnese and the island of Santorini produce some fine wines.

In Greek restaurants, a tip of 10% is the norm, though check to see if a service charge has already been added to your total. It’s common to tip taxi drivers, hotel porters, and guides. Taxi fares can be rounded up and a couple of euro is usual when tipping a hotel porter in the cities, but a little more is appropriate in places like Santorini if porters are carrying bags up many flights of stairs. Your specialist can advise on appropriate amounts to tip guides.

For the latest travel advice for Greece, including entry requirements, health information, and the safety and security situation, please refer to the State Department website .

In Greece, you can explore ancient ruins, cruise around idyllic islands, and laze on hidden beaches. It’s a country that goes way beyond its reputation as a beach destination with a history and culture that offers as much out of season as it does in peak summer.

The vestiges of ancient Greece litter the country from the Acropolis in Athens to the sacred sanctuary in Delphi. You can take a guided tour to bring history to life, kayak to the sunken city at Epidavros , or explore Meteora’s monasteries on an e-bike.

Discover contemporary Greek life on a guided walking tour of Athens’ street art or on a hike to the traditional villages of Naxos . Learn more about Greek food culture at a cooking class on Milos or a visit to a Santorini vineyard, or simply enjoy the turquoise, crystalline waters on one of Greece’s many and varied islands.

Greece offers plenty of choice when it comes to places to stay from whitewashed villas overlooking the Aegean to restored mansions in historic towns and boutique hotels in downtown Athens.

On the mainland, you could choose a serene hideaway in the Peloponnese countryside, a traditional inn overlooking the dramatic rock formations at Meteora, or a 19th-century mansion in central Athens. On the islands, your specialist can help you find the right place to stay whether you’re after an indulgent wellness resort in Santorini, a modern, minimalist hotel on Mykonos, or refined elegance in an understated luxury hotel in Hydra.

For more ideas, take a look at our collection of places to stay in Greece .

Greece has so many appealing destinations, it can be difficult to choose where to go, but most visitors tend to head to Athens, Delphi, Mykonos, and Santorini. Athens is crowned by the Acropolis and its renowned Parthenon, which lord over city streets lined with Byzantine churches and Ottoman mansions.

You can dive into Greek mythology at Delphi , explore monasteries that teeter on pinnacles of rock in Meteora , or discover the neo-classical mansions of wealthy sea captains in historic Galaxidi .

The Greek Islands each have their own character and attractions from volcanic Santorini with its plush hotels and excellent restaurants to cosmopolitan Mykonos , or sleepy, traditional Hydra . Speak to your specialist about your interests and they can advise on where’s best to go.

In summer in Greece, you should wear light clothing in natural fabrics, and bring plenty of sun protection. In winter, it can be chilly and damp, so you’ll want something warmer. Whenever you visit, it’s important to dress respectfully if you’re visiting religious sites such as the Meteora monasteries. Both men and women will be expected to wear clothes that cover their shoulders and legs. Women arriving in shorts will be given a long wrap skirt to wear on entry.

The best way to get around in Greece is by car and public ferry. On the mainland and on larger islands, renting a car gives you the freedom to explore as you wish. We can also arrange for a private car and driver if you’d prefer not to drive.

If you’re visiting the Greek Islands, you can fly in, or take a ferry to travel between islands. Ferries can be delayed due to bad weather and sea conditions, so a ferry tracking app comes in useful when planning.

It takes around nine hours to fly from the East Coast of the US to Athens in Greece, and around 14 and a half hours from the West Coast.

The time zone in Greece is UTC+2 hours. Daylight Savings Time is observed from the last Sunday in March until the last Sunday in October.

US citizens don’t require a visa for travel to Greece for stays of up to 90 days.

Your doctor can provide you with immunization advice for Greece, but also check you’re up to date with the recommended vaccinations at home. You can check the suggested vaccinations on the  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website .

Check that your passport is valid for at least six months after your departure from Greece and has two blank pages.

"There is nowhere quite like Greece, there is something here for everyone; you can walk in the footsteps of the Ancient Greeks, dance the Zorba while indulging in a Greek feast or get lost in a maze of the whitewashed houses of Mykonos as the sun sets"

Evana, Travel Director

Explore the ancient capital of Athens

Often dubbed the cradle of Western civilisation, Athens was arguably the most influential city of ancient times. Contemporary meets antique in a city both drenched in world history and brimming with a modernity. You’ll discover thermal lakes, buzzing beachside neighborhoods and some of the world’s oldest ruins.

Visit the ancient Olympic site in Olympia

The birthplace of the Olympic Games, Olympia first became known to the world in 776 BC, when the very first games were held. Visit this world-famous ancient site that was also a holy place of worship for Zeus, the Greek god, surrounded by lush forestry in a rolling valley.

See the ruins of the Temple of Apollo

Reachable by a day trip from Athens, the Temple of Apollo at Delphi was rebuilt numerous times before settling into the historic site it inhabits today. Marvel at the remaining sandstone columns and decayed limestone that remind us of the past it endured over many thousands of years.

Dine 'Meze Style' in Psyri, Athens

Most travel guides will have you visiting Plaka for Greek food and nightlife, but authentic eateries are best found in the nearby neighborhood of Psiri. Between no-frills bars and dusty antique shops, you will find traditional mezze-style eateries and a boutique energy that pays tribute to Greece’s culinary heritage.

Visit Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Meteora

One of Greece’s most popular tourist attractions, it’s easy to see why so many flock to the spectacular rock formations of Meteora. Marvel at talents of both man and Mother Nature at the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Byzantine monasteries that float around the summits.

Our top 5 things to do in Greece

Food and history form the basis of Greek culture and play a big role in all our trips to Greece. With Trafalgar, we'll showcase the best this country has to offer from sun up to dreamy sundown.

Acropolis Museum

The Acropolis Museum is found at the foot of the western world’s most important ancient site. Unpeel layers of history as you wander the halls of the past and gaze up at the dazzling site itself through glass walls. Allow yourself at least half a day to take in the enormity of this museum.

Remains of Agamemnon's Royal Palace

Tours in Greece are scarcely complete without a visit to this iconic archeological site, where you will find the remains of Agamemnon's Royal Palace, one of the world’s best-preserved fortresses. Glance up and admire unrivalled panoramic views of the countryside, once the Greek civilisation’s major military centres.

Athens War Museum

Opening its doors in 1975, the Athens War Museum documents the country’s past conflicts and military artefacts. In honor of those who fought for Greece’s freedom, the museum showcases four grand floors of past-to-present history. History enthusiasts will find no shortage of awe within these walls.

Best museums in Greece

Though often visited for Greece island hopping, the enchantment of this Mediterranean jewel extends beyond the sapphire waters. With Trafalgar, you’ll venture under the layers of Greek culture by visiting its many fascinating museums.

Standing its ground as one of Greece’s most famous main meals, moussaka is a wholesome and delectable combination of eggplant, ground meat, onion and béchamel sauce. Try this dish a few times during your visit; there are family variations that get passed through generations.

Souvlaki is street food at its very best. A simple preparation of skewered meats and vegetables, it’s the flavoring that makes this snack a pride of the nation. For the most authentic souvlaki, sample if from a street vendor wrapped up with condiments, salad and thick hot chips.

Kolokythokeftedes

The small fried balls of kolokythokeftedes can most aptly be compared to zucchini fritters with fetta cheese. Often ordered in summer with a side of tzatziki, these delicious bites are a great starter to any meal. Learn from the locals and snack on kolokythokeftedes alongside a glass of wine in the warm afternoon sun.

Best food in Greece

From an array of antipasto dips like taramasalata and tzatziki, to heavier main courses of grilled meats and fresh fish, Greek cuisine is internationally recognized for its deliciousness. Trafalgar will take you to the heart of Greece’s culinary traditions, each mouthful and mealtime an utter treat.

What to pack for Greece

Long, breathable pants or skirts

Often warm all year around, and extremely hot during summer, long, light clothing is ideal for daytime sightseeing in Greece – particularly when visiting historic religious sites that require modest attire.

A stainless steel water bottle

Whether you’re basking ocean-side beneath the hot sun or trekking the ancient monuments of this distinct country, you’ll need to stay hydrated. Stainless steel bottles keep your water cold for eight hours while treading lightly on the environment.

Walking shoes

Comfortable shoes are a must when you’re out from morning to night. Choose sturdy, open-toe walking sandals or closed toe sneakers to ensure you can walk effortlessly for hours.

A wide-lens camera

From coasts spanning miles of sea to some of the world’s most spectacular ruins, Greece is bursting with scenes you will want to remember forever. A wide-lens camera will make it easier to capture the views.

Sun protection

Whether it’s SPF50+ sunscreen, a wide-brimmed sun hat or long-sleeved clothing, some form of sun protection is crucial when visiting this popular summer vacation spot.

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and toiletry bottles.

” We were very happy with the hotel choices made for us. We came away knowing the basics of Peloponnese history, we enjoyed the antiquities, the food, and a pleasant holiday experience as a bonus.. “

Barry Roberson

“It was unforgettable. We appreciate Angela’s advice on when to visit Greece. Thanks to her opinion we should come mid April, we saw an amazing spread of wild flowers and peach blossom throughout the mountains and sites.”

Elizabeth Jones

” It was fantastic! Nikos our driver was intelligent, informative and passionate about Greece in general and the Peloponnes in particular. He was also an extremely good driver and genuinely nice guy – essential as nearly each day’s trip involved driving over mountains! Angela from the operator was also great – she responded helpfully and professionally to any requests and took us on the hike in the mountains (and made a local cheese savoury picnic lunch) which was a memorable highlight.. “

Greece - Private Travel

From its ancient and momentous past to an incredibly vibrant and modern present, Greece is everything you want in a luxury European vacation – with miles of coastline as your playground, glorious mountain views, sun-drenched beaches, a scintillating social life, and adventurous people.

With miles of coastline as your playground, sun-drenched beaches and a scintillating social life, luxury Greek travel can take many forms.

Greece luxury travel can take many forms, from the highest peak of Mount Olympus to the coral reefs ringing more than 200 islands and beyond. And as the very seat of Western civilization, Greece truly feels like you’ve just come home. At the crossroads between Europe, Asia, and Africa, Greece is the birthplace of not only democracy but also of philosophy, literature, science, and mathematics. Little wonder that this country of 11 million has a passionate viewpoint of its place in the world and an unbridled desire to show and tell you all about it. Visitors immerse themselves in the monasteries of Meteora, the Temple of Apollo, the sanctuary of Olympia, and the Theatre of Epidaurus. The Acropolis of Athens watches over the city in all its iconic architectural glory; the many exciting cultural pursuits below bookend most luxury travel itineraries to the country. And while the country’s culinary pursuits are indeed profound, you can work it off living the sporty life during the day, letting the kitesurfing, rock climbing, scuba diving, and boating work off the calories – and work up your appetite for more.

The Rack Railway journey was excellent

Well organised, good standard of hotels.

Impossible to choose just a single highlight, but Sapfo was extraordinarily good.

10 Best Greece Cruises, According to Travel Experts

These are the best Greece cruises for island hopping with ease.

With its stunning beaches, rich history, iconic landmarks, and delectable cuisine, a trip to Greece is always a great idea. However, since the nation is home to more than 6,000 islands — some of which are only accessible by boat — your best bet is to explore via cruise. Just take it from Rob Clabbers, Travel + Leisure A-List travel advisor and Q Cruise + Travel founder, who tells T+L that “Greece and the Greek isles are just the perfect destinations to explore by ship” since “a cruise allows you to see more islands and gives you a unique vantage point.” Several of the best Greece cruises also include visits to neighboring countries like Turkey and Italy, for example, which allow travelers to experience several cultures and countries in one action-packed trip. Intrigued? We don’t blame you: Ahead, check out our favorite Greece cruises for every type of traveler, along with itinerary recommendations and expert insight.

Rob Clabbers is a T+L A-List travel advisor and founder of Q Cruise + Travel, a Chicago-based travel agency. 

Mary Curry is a T+L A-list travel advisor and small ship specialist.

Kari Dillon is the owner of Marvelous Mouse Travels, an agency specializing in theme park and cruise vacations.

Megan Guinnup is a travel agent with Marvelous Mouse Travels.

Windstar Cruises

According to Clabbers, this small luxury cruise line is perfect for those who prefer “a smaller, more casual yacht-style experience.” Per the pro, the onboard vibes are best described as “upscale, but not stuffy or over-the-top.” It’s also worth noting that “each ship offers a water sports platform with kayaks, water trampolines, stand-up paddling, snorkel gear, floating carpets, and other ‘toys’ that are deployed (weather and location permitting, of course) at least once on most Greek itineraries.” 

Itinerary: While you can’t go wrong with any of Windstar’s Greece itineraries, Clabbers is quick to call out the popular Treasures of the Greek Isles voyage, which sets sail each week from May through October. Passengers can visit beloved ports of call like Mykonos and Santorini, along with “lesser-known (and less-crowded!) places like Monemvasia and Patmos.” As part of the experience, guests have the unique opportunity to feast among the ruins in neighboring Turkey as part of the line’s complimentary Evening in Ephesus “after-hours” event, which, per Clabbers, features a decadent five-course dinner accompanied by a chamber orchestra. Speaking of culinary offerings, it’s worth mentioning that Windstar is the official cruise line partner of the esteemed James Beard Foundation, which means you can expect some of the top eats at sea.

Explora Journeys

“A new entrant in the luxury travel industry, Explora Journeys offers all the style and comfort of a modern European luxury resort property on its 922-guest yacht-inspired Explora I and, launching later this year, Explora II, ” explains Clabbers. The line has taken the industry by storm, doing away with cliche cruise staples like main dining rooms, large buffets, and notoriously small staterooms. Instead, says Clabbers, guests can choose from a selection of “excellent restaurants that other companies would call specialty restaurants,” as well as “four swimming pools, each with their own vibe,” and all-suite accommodations, some of which boast private plunge pools. Per the pro, it’s worth noting that “Explora Journeys is the first luxury line that offers a dedicated youth activity program and facility year-round;” as such, it’s an excellent option for multi-generational families looking to cruise Greece in style. 

Itinerary: Sailing round-trip from Athens, the aptly named eight-night A Journey from Athens to Athens itinerary includes a mix of popular ports like Mykonos and Santorini, along with hidden-gem locales like Syros, which is famous for its neoclassical architecture, a buzzy main town, and (essentially) crowd-free beaches. The cruise also visits the serene resort town of Marmaris in Turkey before heading to its final port of call, Kos , a gorgeous Greek island known for its sandy beaches, white-washed buildings, and historical sites.

Celebrity Cruises

According to Clabbers, " Celebrity Cruises was launched by a Greek shipping family," so the line has deep ties to — and many officers who hail from — the country. What’s more, he says, "When you visit Greece, they are taking you to their homeland, and it shows in their passion and love of the Hellenic nation." The line offers a range of larger ships and, thus, more options between accommodations (from economical inside rooms to luxurious suites in The Retreat), itineraries, restaurants, and entertainment; as such, Celebrity is "a great option for adults and families who like more activities on their ship." 

Itinerary: The nine-night Best Of Greece itinerary cruises round-trip from Athens on select dates from May to October and takes place aboard the 2,170-passenger Celebrity Infinity , which Clabbers described as one of the line’s “smaller and more seasoned ships.” The first port of call is Santorini, followed by Ephesus in Turkey and Mykonos. “Additionally,” says Clabbers, " Infinity   travels to Volos and Thessaloniki, ports that are not typically visited by large ships.” Kavala, located in the northern part of the country, serves as the final port of call before heading back to Athens. Here, cruisers can enjoy a mix of history, culture, and architecture — plus some seriously stunning landscapes (from lagoons and lakes to wetlands and beaches) along with lush flora and fauna.

Related: What to Know About All 16 Ships in the Celebrity Cruises Fleet

Silversea offers a variety of Greece cruise itineraries, and it’s one of few truly luxe all-inclusive cruise lines. Per Clabbers, the 596-passenger Silver Moon offers all-suite accommodations and a classic small-ship feel — complete with excellent meals, beverages, and shore excursions all included in your cruise fare. Speaking of the latter, he says, “The inclusion of shore excursions also makes it easy to dive deeper into Greek culture and culinary experiences.” 

Itinerary: While you can’t go wrong with any of Silversea’s Greek itineraries, Clabbers especially recommends the seven-night Athens to Athens cruise, which “calls on highlights, but adds places like Souda Bay in Crete, Nafplion, Patmos, and Rhodes ,” where he recommends visiting the “temple ruins at Lindos, with views over the Mediterranean, and then walk in the footsteps of the Crusaders in the old town.” The cruise also stops in Nafplion, which, despite its romantic seaside setting and lovely beaches, is yet to be uncovered by most American travelers — for now, at least.

Variety Cruises

According to T+L A-list travel advisor and small ship specialist Mary Curry , this local Greek cruise line offers its own fleet of yachts, most carrying fewer than 50 passengers. Since the ships are so small, says Curry, “you can travel a bit further off the beaten path.” Variety offers a handful of Greece itineraries, including specially themed hiking and wine cruises.

Itinerary: Travelers craving a true off-the-beaten-path experience can book the seven-night Unexplored Greece voyage, which sails round-trip from Athens. The first port of call is Ikira, a tiny island known for its hot springs that also happens to be one of the world’s Blue Zones. Then, it’s off to Patmos, known for its fascinating history and unspoiled beaches, before overnighting in Lipsi, a laid-back isle famous for its gorgeous scenery. On board, guests can taste the destination’s famous wine, Aposperitis. The fun continues in Levintha, inhabited by a single family who raises animals and runs a restaurant where guests can enjoy fresh-caught fish. After, it’s off to Amorgos, where scenic hiking and beautiful beaches abound. The next day, you’ll stop at Panagia Hozoviotissa, a cliffside monastery dating back to the 10th century, before heading to Koufonisia, which boasts majestic caves and rock pools accessible only by boat (thankfully, Variety as you covered). The final stop of the day is the serene island of Iraklia, which offers clear-blue waters ideal for swimming. After remaining here overnight, you’ll head to the final port of call, Serifos, where guests can visit a remote beach, followed by an onboard BBQ feast to refuel before heading to Chora, a fairy-tale village.

This French-owned cruise line offers an impressive fleet of small luxury ships. Additionally, says Curry, “Most cabins have private balconies, and travelers who plan early are rewarded with excellent value for the money.” What’s especially unique about Pontant, explains the pro, is that they “partner with Smithsonian Journeys on select departures to offer an enrichment program of included lectures and shore excursions in each port.”

Itinerary: Curry especially recommends the seven-night Cruising the Greek Islands of the Southern Aegean sailing, which will cruise round-trip from Athens in July and October 2025. The cruise calls on aforementioned spots like Patmos, Rhodes, and Amorgos before visiting Adamas in Milos, a volcanic island teeming with postcard-worthy white-washed towns and breathtakingly beautiful beaches. Adamas itself is a tiny fishing port where colorful boats shimmer against the blue waters. Finally, it’s off to Mykonos and Napflion before finally disembarking in Athens.

Disney Cruise Line

Disney Cruise Line is world-famous for its exciting onboard offerings for children of all ages — including character and superhero meet-and-greets, dining options themed after beloved Disney princesses, and live performances galore — making it a favorite for families hoping for a fun-filled Greece vacation.

Itinerary: "Setting sail aboard the Disney Dream on the seven-night Mediterranean with Greek Isles itinerary is nothing short of magical!" says Megan Guinnup , a travel agent with Marvelous Mouse Travels . Cruising round-trip from Rome, the ship calls on Naples before exploring Greece. In addition to popular ports like Athens and Mykonos, you'll also visit Chania on the island of Crete, which offers a bustling harbor, exquisite architecture, and cobblestone streets that look like they were plucked straight from a (Disney) fairy tale. After exploring each locale, the fun continues back on board, where, per the pro, "there is enchantment everywhere — meeting beloved characters, enjoying deck parties with Mickey and Minnie, and indulging in exquisite cuisine."

Royal Caribbean

This mega-ship line truly has it all: Flashy entertainment and onboard activities — which, depending on the ship, can include everything from water slides to zip lines — and plenty of drinking and dining offerings to appease even the pickiest eaters. Guinnup and Kari Dillon, owner of Marvelous Mouse Travels, recommend setting sail aboard Odyssey of the Seas , which offers several Greek itineraries. "On board," says Guinnup, "There's a plethora of activities to enjoy, from bumper cars and roller skating to exquisite dining and a bionic bar — there's something for everyone!"

Itinerary: The seven-night Greek Isles itinerary sails round-trip from Rome with stops in Santorini, Ephesus, Mykonos, and Naples. Keep in mind that because the ship is so large, Santorini and Mykonos are both tender ports. With that in mind, Dillon recommends springing on The Key, an optional add-on that includes priority tender access so that you can spend as much time as possible on land basking in its beauty.

Virgin Voyages

Richard Branson’s adults-only line has taken the industry by storm with its innovative offerings, including 20-plus restaurants instead of buffets, an onboard tattoo parlor, adult-focused entertainment offerings, and a two-story nightclub.

Itinerary: Dillon especially recommends the seven-night Greek Island Aglow itinerary for travelers seeking a high-energy, adults-only option. She continues, telling T+L, “Not only does this sail to the islands of Santorini and Rhodes, but it [also] has an overnight in Mykonos, which is world-famous for its lively party atmosphere.” As a bonus, the cruise also calls on Bodrum in Turkey, which boasts beautiful beaches, flower-filled cafes, and a bustling nightlife scene.

Celestyal Cruises

The Greece-based Celesytal Cruises prides itself on offering an authentic Greek vacation experience. Additionally, Celesytal is unique in that it offers year-round Aegean Sea sailings cruising round-trip from Athens and ranging in length from three to 14 nights. On land, Celeystal guests can choose from a selection of the line’s “Authentic Excursions,” which are specially curated, small-group, expert-led experiences designed to take travelers off the beaten path. Options — including walking food tours and pottery-making demos at a local factory — abound, depending on the particular port of call.

Itinerary: The seven-night Idyllic Aegean voyage visits Thessaloniki (which offers an eclectic combination of history, nightlife, and gastronomy), Kuşadası (a popular Turkish resort town), and Heraklion (the capital of Crete) before heading to iconic isles like Santorini and Mykonos, where the ship will remain overnight. Before returning to Athens for disembarkation, you’ll also stop in magnificent Milos.

10 things I wish tourists knew before visiting Greece, from a local

• I'm from Athens, and I've seen plenty of tourists make mistakes while traveling to Greece .
• Pace yourself if you're planning on staying out at the bars and clubs all night.
• It's worth it to do some research on smaller islands and local cuisine before your trip.

Thanks to its ancient ruins, picturesque beaches, and incredible food, Greece is one of the top tourist destinations. In 2023, over 32 million people visited.

I was born in Athens and currently split my years living between the US and Greece , so I've spent plenty of time in the beautiful European country.

Here are 10 things I think tourists should know before visiting.

There’s so much more to see in Greece than the popular islands.

It seems like everyone visits Mykonos, Santorini, and maybe Paros, but Greece has over 220 inhabitable islands. Plus, most of them are more budget-friendly than the popular spots.

I recommend looking into places like Kimolos, Astypalaia, Paxoi (also known as Paxos and Paxi), or Folegandros.

The Greek mainland is also beautiful. There's a lot to see there, from UNESCO sites at Delphi and Meteora and the turquoise waters of the Peloponnese to the stunning mountains and villages of Epirus.

Athens is more than the Acropolis.

Athens has great nightlife , restaurants, museums, and cool neighborhoods like Plaka, Exarcheia, Psyrri, and Pangrati.

Tourists who just swing by to check the Acropolis off their list are missing out. I've always found it to be one of the liveliest cities in the world.

You don’t need to tip 20%.

Greek servers generally rely on hourly wages, so there isn't the same tipping culture as the US .

I normally just round up the bill or leave a couple of Euros on the table as a tip — unless I had exceptional service or dined at a more formal (and tourist-oriented) restaurant.

Pace yourself when drinking alcohol.

A lot of travelers take advantage of Greece's lax attitude toward alcohol restrictions. Coupled with the fact that Greek bars and clubs close pretty late (like 4 a.m. late), some tourists get sloppy.

Locals usually intersperse drinks with food and water so they can last the whole night, and I recommend tourists do the same.

Slow down and take Sundays off.

Greeks have a pretty relaxed relationship with time — people often arrive late and stores may open half an hour after they said they would.

Service in Greece can seem slow to people from more fast-paced places, especially on the quieter islands . A lot of stores and supermarkets are also closed on Sundays, even in Athens.

I know this can be annoying at times, but I recommend just enjoying the slower pace of life.

Don’t try to visit too many islands on one trip.

So many people ask me if they can fit four or five islands into a seven-day trip, and I never recommend it. Take your time and enjoy each destination for at least a couple of days.

Half the joy of the Greek islands is getting to destress. If you're hopping from ferry to ferry and running around to cover the highlights, you'll miss out on the best parts of the country.

Be sensitive about natural disasters.

I never thought I'd have to say this, but I have seen multiple tourists in the last few years posting about how "pretty" the skies or sunsets are thanks to the glow from raging wildfires .

At a time when a lot of Greek people are wondering if their houses are still standing or their loved ones have gotten to safety, it's a pretty insensitive thing to do.

Don't skip out on experiencing a traditional taverna.

Athens and other popular Greek destinations now have a lot of upscale restaurants with cuisines from all over the world. But make sure to eat in a traditional taverna at least once.

A taverna is a casual restaurant with family-style dining. Diners can spend hours in them chatting with friends while sharing food paired with some great wine or ouzo (a Greek aperitif).

Greek food is more than just gyros.

Well-known dishes like gyros and souvlaki are truly delicious, but Greek cuisine is so much more than that.

For example, a lot of Greeks start their day with a tiropita (cheese pie) and freddo coffee. Each region also has local specialties that I recommend inquiring about.

In tavernas, popular menu items include calamari, octopus, all kinds of fish, grilled and fried cheeses (like saganaki and halloumi), and side dishes like fava.

Learn a few local words.

Most younger Greek people understand English, but you may run into problems communicating with older people — especially in more rural areas.

Even if a local person can understand you, I think it's nice to learn a few simple words and phrases like "good morning," "thank you," and "how are you?"

It's nice when tourists make a little bit of an effort.
