What people love about In-depth Cultural Tours in Greece
- Grand Classical Tour Of Greece plus Mani and Monemvasia (Small group - In depth culture, Historical, Nature, Culinary guided tour)
A safe pair of hands. We had a great time. Agreed way to do Classical Greece, Mycenaean Greece, Lovely Greek taverns, hotels, places you won't see in a tour group bus or a do it yourself self drive. Exceeded expectations.
- Charming Greece Tour - 7 days
We have enjoyed the Charming tour of Greece and had a fantastic time in Greece. This was our first Europe tour and it turned out wonderful and memorable. The tour was well organised beginning from the arrival in Greece until the departure. The accommodation was great, location was wonderful. The staff at the Hotels were excellent, and helpful, but the option of vegetarian food was poor at all hotels (lunch and dinner). The acoustics at Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus was amazing. The highlights were the visit along to the Ancient Stadium, Delphi and monasteries in Meterora. Our guide Evi, had a vast knowledge of the history of Greece and of all the places we visited. Our driver, Kostas was very friendly and most importantly he was a safe driver throughout the tours. We had a wonderful trip and I will highly recommend this tour to my family and friends, if you can improve the Vegetarian food.
- Exploring Greece with Athens, Delphi, Meteora, Mykonos and Santorini
A good way for travellers to see Greece for the first time. Makes you want to visit it again.
What our customers ask about In-depth Cultural Tours & Trips in Greece
When is the best time to visit Greece for an in-depth cultural experience?
Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) stand out as prime seasons for cultural exploration in Greece. During these months visitors can explore archaeological sites like Delphi and Meteora with fewer tourists and pleasant weather. Spring brings temperatures of about 20°C (68°F) in Athens and across mainland sites while fall maintains warm days around 25°C (77°F) at locations like Olympia and Mycenae. These conditions are ideal for walking tours and outdoor exploration. A TourRadar traveler mentioned that "touring in October provided perfect weather and smaller crowds at major archaeological sites like Delphi and Meteora."
What types of accommodations can I expect on an In-depth Cultural tour in Greece?
Cultural tours in Greece typically feature stays in 3-4 star properties located near historical sites. The Fresh Hotel and Hotel Ilissos in Athens offer central locations while the Hotel Europa in Olympia provides easy access to ancient ruins. One TourRadar traveler shared: "The hotels were all charming and comfortable particularly in Delphi where our room at the Amalia Hotel offered amazing views of the valley below."
What are the must-see cultural highlights on Greek tour?
Key stops on cultural tours include Athens' Acropolis and Parthenon the Oracle site at Delphi and the well-preserved theater at Epidaurus. Visitors should plan to see Ancient Olympia birthplace of the Olympic Games along with Meteora's cliff-top monasteries and the archaeological ruins at Mycenae. As one TourRadar traveler remarked: "The guide's deep knowledge at sites like Delphi and Olympia really brought ancient Greece to life - it was like stepping back in time."
What's included in typical meals on Greek cultural tours?
Tours generally cover daily hotel breakfasts and select dinners at local tavernas. The menu features Greek classics like moussaka souvlaki and Mediterranean salads. Many itineraries include special food experiences such as olive oil tastings in Crete or wine sampling in Nafplio. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The food was excellent especially at Olympia where we had a traditional Greek feast at the Europa Hotel featuring local specialties and wine."
What's the typical group size for cultural tours in Greece?
Tours usually operate with 12-20 participants creating an environment that balances personal attention with social interaction. According to a TourRadar traveler review: "Our group of 15 at the Hermes Hotel in Delphi was perfect - small enough to hear our guide clearly at archaeological sites but large enough for good social interaction." Select premium tours may limit capacity to 12 guests particularly when staying at boutique properties.
How do Greek cultural tours handle transportation between sites?
Modern air-conditioned coaches or minibuses transport guests between destinations with regular stops for photos and site visits. The journey from Athens to Delphi takes about 2.5 hours while Olympia to Meteora requires 4 hours. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Our modern bus was comfortable for longer journeys and our driver expertly handled the winding roads to Meteora while our guide shared fascinating historical context."
