about this tour
about this tour
Experience Greece through a journey that connects ancient landmarks, coastal beauty, and regional flavors across Athens and Rhodes. From the Acropolis to the shores of the Aegean, this itinerary blends culture, food, and relaxation in a way that reflects the character of each destination. Begin in Athens, where centuries of history shape the capital’s most celebrated sites. Walk through neighborhoods such as Plaka and Monastiraki, visit the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum, and gain insight into the stories behind temples and monuments that influenced Western civilization. The city’s markets, cafés, and traditional tavernas offer opportunities to enjoy regional dishes while experiencing the everyday rhythm of Athens. Continue to Rhodes, an island known for its mix of medieval architecture, coastal scenery, and local traditions. Stroll through Rhodes Old Town, a UNESCO listed area with fortified walls and narrow lanes. Travel to the Acropolis of Lindos for sweeping views of the coastline, and take part in olive oil tastings or cooking experiences that highlight ingredients grown across the region. The island’s beaches and small villages add another layer to its appeal. This journey also leaves room for relaxation, with time to enjoy beaches, quiet villages, and the calm of the Aegean. Private transfers, knowledgeable guides, and well planned days allow you to move at a comfortable pace while experiencing Greece’s culture and landscapes.
Visit Marianna’s family-run olive grove in the renowned olive-producing region of Corinth. As an award-winning olive oil sommelier, she guides you through local varieties, including the prized Manaki cultivar, each carrying generations of care and skill. Walk through the groves as she shares stories about cultivation and harvest. Then, at an open-air kiosk with views, enjoy a guided tasting highlighting flavours, aromas, and qualities of Greek olive oil. You’ll leave with a new appreciation for this part of Greek culture.
