Description of Monuments & highlights of Greek culture holiday
A history and culture tour of Greece that has been condensed and refined to leave you with an itinerary that is rich in unique, memorable experiences. Taking in many of the country’s most renowned and significant archaeological sites, from the cliff-bound monasteries of Meteora to the ancient stadium of Olympia, and the beautifully preserved theatre of Epidaurus, this holiday captivates at every turn.
This is a trip that ensures you make the most of your time in Greece. It is a constantly moving classical feast, yet the itinerary is never rushed. Instead, you will explore the various locations at your own pace (official tour guides can be arranged on request), allowing you to soak up their stories and atmosphere.
But you are not constantly immersed in the past – you’ll spend time on a family-owned honey farm, to learn the history and art of beekeeping, and visit a family-run winery for a tasting session. In both cases, it’s an opportunity to learn how the ancient world informs and influences the techniques of the present. As well as a chance to pick up some special souvenirs.
As with any tour of Greece, you will enjoy superb Mediterranean cuisine – fresh, seasonal, and with many ingredients sourced from surrounding communities. This trip uses locally owned restaurants and hotels as much as possible, to ensure that you get an authentic introduction to Greek culture, and that your stay benefits local people.

Responsible Travel
Planet
The harmony of life between human beings, animals and nature in Greece is a very serious problem, as in the whole world. We have decided, that we will put every effort to highlight the problem to our travelers on all our tours. On this tour we visit a honey farm in the Peloponnese. There, we learn from the farm owner about the surprising health benefits of honey, the bee's life, their usefulness in human life, the danger of their extinction from our planet. We do our best to promote respect for bees and generaly for all insects in the planet.We encourage our visitors, not to use the car for the short distances. By walking they can be part of the local life and at the same time they have the opportunity to help reduce exhaust gas in the atmosphere. At the begining of each tour, we give visitors written travel notes, where we inform them about our responsible policy and advice them, how they can apply it on the trip, by making their own efforts to protect the Greek environment.
Only all together, we can change the worldwide bad environmental situation. The planet does not belong to us!
People
From the begining of our operations in Greece, we have been working and growing with the help of local people in every region we visit, creating many new jobs in the process.We use trained local Greek guides and tour leaders, rather than choosing leaders from other regions, whose knowledge and love of the area will never be as detailed as those who live in Greece.
We use locally owned and operated hotels. On each tour there is the chance to eat at and visit small family restaurants and local artisan workshops.
We always advise our guests to interact with the local people, get involved in their traditional feasts, taste delicacies from small stores, buy desserts and bread from local bakeries.
We strongly believe that travelers, who are passionate about responsible tourism, like we are, will follow our advice.
In this way, they will enjoy their journey and at the same time help our home country. We inform and advice our travelers, how to respect local customs and religious practices, giving them a greater understanding of the local people and culture.
