Here’s What I’ve Planned For You in Greece!
What an incredible journey we will have, guided by our local Tour Manager with assistance from other historians, craftspeople, growers and families. Greece is an ideal European destination for those interested in ancient history, the roots of mythology and western civilization. We will stay in deluxe properties for the ultimate comfort. We’ll visit significant historic sites in Athens, Nafplio, Santorini and Crete and learn of the myths that emerged from this mystical land. Our local historian guides will take us to see such places as: the Acropolis, Acropolis Museum, Temple of Poseidon, the City of Love, the Fortress of Bourtzi, the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus and the famous Knossos Palace.
Our journey will grow even more meaningful as we take time to learn about so many unique items produced in Greece, by spending time with those who create them. We have unique activities planned in this Exploration to help you experience rare, uniquely-Greek moments you’ll always remember. For instance, we have a very special day exploring orange essential oil production, a visit to an Ouzo distillery and a historic winery, a Greek dance class, exploration of a caldera and several beautiful coastal beaches, foraging for wild herbs, cooking with a local family and of course, an indepth training on olive oil production with tasting!
We’ll toast the day’s island adventures as we take in spectacular sunsets over the Aegean sea and white-washed buildings. Dive in to the details of my Wonders of Greece Exploration when you click on the button below. Limited space is available, so register today for this very special Exploration!
