Insider notes

This is a fast-paced itinerary covering a large part of mainland Greece, so expect significant travel time between destinations. Early mornings and full days of sightseeing are standard. Comfortable walking shoes are essential, as archaeological sites involve uneven terrain and moderate walking. The experience is best enjoyed by travelers who prefer guided historical context and organized travel over independent exploration.
