With its pristine blue waters, magical whitewashed buildings and ancient history, a trip to Greece could be the trip of a lifetime.
That's where these tour companies come in. They're our prime picks from the cream of the crop that specialise in everything from Greek Island hopping to historical walks. We've also included the best companies to travel with depending on what you want to get out of your trip, as well as tour recommendations to tick off all the must-see boxes.
Let's get started.
Contiki is the world’s leading travel tour company for millennials, famous for its #noregrets slogan that encourages travellers to live in the moment. It offers tours throughout Europe with more than a handful visiting Greece.
From islands to mainland, Intrepid offers world-renowned small group tours with exceptional guides throughout Greece.
Topdeck strives to provide millennial travellers with as many opportunities to meet friends as it does to discover new destinations… and all without emptying your bank account. Its Greece tours focus primarily on the islands, some through the mainland or in combination with other European destinations.
As the world’s most awarded travel brand, Trafalgar offers luxury tours for all ages and styles. Its tour itineraries through Greece are no exception, teaching visitors how to live the good life while travelling across the mainland and islands.
The Cyclades are by far the most popular islands to visit in all of Greece, blessed to be surrounded by the vibrant blue waters of the Aegean Sea. Top names in this region include the blue-and-white painted Santorini, the charming island of Mykonos, Ios, Paros and more. Drenched in the sun and ideal for island hopping, this group of islands is the Greece that you envision.
This small group tour is ideal for those who want to maximize their experience on these Greek Islands over a short time. See the best of Mykonos and Santorini along with stops at more sequestered islands that are less crowded and just as pretty.
Mainland Greece is where most of this Mediterranean country’s ancient monuments tell the stories of its incredible past, a must-see for history buffs. From the bustling streets of Athens to Mount Olympus and the picturesque views of Meteora, Greece is rich with legends and natural mainland wonders.
Enjoy a week of tasting delicious Greece cuisine between sightseeing at some the world’s most incredible sites such as the Acropolis in Athens, the famous "monasteries in the sky" in Meteora and Olympia where the Olympics originated.
This group of 12 islands is often passed over in favour of the Cyclades Islands, but a trip off the coast of central Greece will be a treat featuring fewer crowds, spectacular views and a thriving tourist infrastructure.
Corfu, the largest Greek Island is here along with Zakynthos which has one of Greece’s most photogenic beaches thanks to the surrounding blue waters.
While not too many tours take you through the Ionian Islands, Fez Travel mixes Zakynthos and its Shipwreck Beach with a trip to Santorini and Athens making for a picture-perfect escape.
We don’t think it’s possible to spend too much time in Greece, but for those wanting to see all of the highlights there are options that will give you a full experience.
We recommend spending a week minimum on mainland Greece and at least a week island hopping in either the Cyclades or Ionian Islands in order not to feel rushed.
10 days in each region takes you more in-depth and two weeks in Greece is ample time to see all of the highlights, both on the mainland and on some of the islands.
This eight-day tour takes you on a journey to explore mainland Greece from the gritty streets of Athens to the mountains of Meteora with ancient, religious and jaw-dropping scenic sites at every stop.
Take exploring the Greek Islands at a leisurely pace on a seven-day tour of Santorini and Mykonos, the country’s most famous islands where you can learn to indulge in the cuisine and the sites.
This Secrets of Greece tour shows you the must-see sites on the mainland and also includes a stop on Corfu with ample time for exploring Santorini. You’ll get to experience the diversity of Greece along with its cuisine and major sightseeing points in two weeks.
