about this tour
This journey through Greece is designed for families who want to share meaningful moments while experiencing the country’s culture, stories and scenery together. From the ancient sites of Athens to the island charm of Naxos and the traditions of Crete, each destination offers experiences suited to both children and adults. In Athens, step into the world of mythology and craftsmanship with guided walks and creative workshops that make the past engaging. Children can learn legends connected to the Acropolis, try traditional pottery techniques, and enjoy activities that bring classical culture to life. Naxos offers a balance of adventure and relaxation, with sandy beaches, small villages and opportunities for gentle sailing and island discovery. Days on the island include storytelling, hands on activities and time to enjoy its open landscapes. Crete brings a closer look at Greek traditions through visits to local artisans, family run farms and welcoming markets. Walk through the old town of Chania, explore narrow streets filled with local shops, and spend time on a beach where children can play while parents relax. The island’s food, crafts and coastal views add depth to the family experience. Every part of this trip has been arranged to provide comfort and ease for all ages. Whether learning new skills, enjoying the outdoors or sharing meals inspired by regional ingredients, this journey allows families to experience Greece in a way that is engaging, enjoyable and memorable.
We are Voula and Athena, graduates of the Athens School of Fine Arts. Our Plaka studio blends tradition with contemporary art, offering both our work and a chance to create your own unique handmade piece. If Athens has sparked your creativity, join us for a pottery session and turn that inspiration into a beautiful handmade piece. We provide clay, paints, brushes, and a welcoming, relaxed setting. Whether you're new to pottery or honing your skills, we look forward to sharing this creative and hands-on experience with you.

FAQs
1. What are the activities on the family Food & Acropolis tour in Athens?
You walk through central Athens with a guide, visit main Acropolis sites and nearby historic streets, and stop for food along the way. Your guide explains the ruins and shares Greek myths in a way children can follow, while you all try local snacks and simple dishes so history and food stay linked.
2. What do we do in the pottery class?
You join a hands-on pottery session where adults and children shape clay with help from a local craftsperson. You learn basic techniques, make a small piece of your own, and hear how pottery connects to older Greek traditions and everyday life.
3. What is included in the olive bread cooking class and walking foodie tour?
In the olive bread class your family mixes, kneads, and bakes bread with olives and other Greek ingredients, guided step by step by a local cook. The walking foodie tour is a separate guided stroll with stops at small places for tastings, so you can try different Greek flavours while learning what people eat day to day.
4. What is the boat trip with island hopping like for families?
You take a boat out along the coast with stops at nearby islands or bays. There is time to relax on deck, enjoy the views, and, where it’s suitable, swim or go ashore, giving children and adults a shared, easy-going day on the water.
5. What do we do on the Old Town walking tour in Crete?
In Crete you walk through Chania’s old town with a guide, follow narrow streets, pass markets and small shops, and hear short stories about how the town grew over time. The walk usually links with time at a nearby beach, so the day mixes light history with space for children to play and parents to relax.
