Athens
Day 1 Athens
Day 2 Athens
Athens is the largest city in Greece and more than 3 million inhabitants, one of the largest in Europe. Almost 40% of Greeks live here. The city is rich in history.
Our hotel in Athens is in the center, within walking distance of most attractions. The modern center of Athens is formed by Syntagma and Omonia Square, which connect busy shopping streets.
Not far from the Omonia Square is the Archaeological Museum. Here you will find one of the most famous collections of Greek art, from the most ancient Greece to the Hellenistic period. You can walk from the hotel in fifteen minutes to the Plaka, which originated in the Turkish time. Unlike modern Athens you still see traditional homes. The walls are covered with hibiscus and bougainvillea. In many clearings you can still find remnants of temples and market places from ancient Athens.
The highlight is of course the classic ascent to the Acropolis. It's a nice walk on the Pnyx, with a green pine-covered hill. Furthermore, you can visit the National Museum with its famous statues.
Delphi
Day 3 Athens - Kalambaka
Day 4 - Osios Loukas - Delphi Bus depart for Kalambaka.
Along the way to Kalambaka we visit the monastery Osios Loukas, one of the most beautiful buildings of Byzantine Greece. Loukas, to whom the monastery is dedicated, was successively adventurer, ascetic hermit, healer and prophet. In this latter capacity, he attracted the attention of the emperor. He was immortalized with this magnificent monastery church built in his honor.
Kalambaka, which has a beautiful 14th century cathedral, is located at the foot of some steep boulders. The highlight is the monasteries, the oldest of which is founded in the 14th century. We make an excursion to the monasteries in the morning before we go to Delphi. They are accessible by stairs and there is a visitor’s fee. Many buildings, especially the large Meteoron Monastery and the Agios Nikolaos are richly decorated with beautiful ancient frescoes and icons. Very impressive is the view of the other monasteries, which often seem to appear out of the rocks.
The journey from Kalambaka to Delphi takes about five hours. Delphi is a small country town, which is mainly visited for the remains of the sanctuary and the oracle classics. The inhabitants of Delphi live as their ancestors, from the proceeds from the oracle. For centuries, people from the surrounding area visited the oracle to seek the god Apollo’s advice on all questions of life. Rulers relied on the responses of the priestess to make their political decisions.
In addition to its cultural and historical importance, a visit to the oracle is also a must because of the magnificent view you have there on steep, cypress and pine-clad slopes. The oracle is about 15 minutes' walk away.
Olympia and Pylos
Day 5 Delphi Nafpaktos - OlympiaOlympia
Day 6 - Pylos
Day 7 Pylos
On the ride to the Peloponnese we stop in Nafpaktos, a typical Greek harbor town, dominated by a Venetian fortress built on a hill. After lunch, we take the ferry from Antirion for a ten minute crossing to the Peloponnese. Then we drive in for about three hours to Olympia.
Olympia was made famous by the Olympic Games, a religious festival in honor of Zeus which to place from 776 to 394. Today, every four years the Olympic torch is ignited here. In the great temple of Zeus the winners of the games were crowned with an olive branch. The remains of this sport and temple complex are located in a wooded area. You can walk there from our hotel in ten minutes.
The journey from Olympia to Pylos, a charming town on the beach takes about 3 hours.We drive along a beautiful coastal road, where you almost always have a sea view. The next day you can walk around in Pylos and perch on a terrace at the harbor. Or go to Methoni, located at the southernmost point of the west coast of the Peloponnese. The imposing Venetian fortress, which lies on the coast is worth a visit.
Pylos, Mystras, Nafplion
Day 8 Pylos - Mystras
Day 9 Mystras - Mycenae - Nafplion
Day 10 Nafplion
In the morning we leave by bus from Pylos to Mystras. After we cross the Taigetos mountains through a scenic route we visit the 14th century Byzantine town, which is beautifully built against a mountainside. It does require a few hours to view it. From the top of the mountain you walk down steep paths along the various remains. Halfway down you may encounter the nuns who invite you for a glass of water and to enjoy a magnificent view of the surroundings.
A few miles away is incidentally the modern Sparta, which was the illustrious military stronghold of Greek antiquity.
On the way from Mystras to Nafplion we visit Mycenae,where find the castle and the imposing thousand year old Lion Gate. Then the bus ride to Nafplion, which around 1830, was the first capital of Greece. Nafplion is one of the most attractive towns of the Peloponnese. For two centuries the city was dominated by the Venetians. The architecture, whereh white and pastel-colored houses with wrought-iron balconies set the tone, is still reminiscent of Venice. It is built at the foot of a hill and overlooks a bay. Because it is very strategically located by the sea, there were several large castles built on the hill, including the Palamidi fortress. When you visit, prepare for a climb! A few miles away you can relax on the beach of Tolo.
Epidaurus, Corinth Canal and Naxos
Day 11 Nafplion- Epidaurus- channel Korinthe- Pireus- Naxos
Day 12 Naxos
Day 13 Naxos
Near Nafplion are remains of classical civilization, such as the remains of Tiryns. The best preserved ancient Greek theater, located in Epidaurus, we visit en route to Piraeus. This theater is cool and has such good acoustics that many performances of classical Greek plays or performed in the summer.
We look into the deep channel of Corinth in Piraeus before we take the ferry to Naxos. Naxos is the largest and highest island of the Cyclades. Although mountainous, is particularly fertile and has a colorful vegetation. On the island are scattered citrus and olive groves and a portion of the island has a rocky coast with deserted coves.
We stay in Naxos town, also called Chora. Naxos town is a picturesque town with a castle on the hill from the Venetian period.
You can entertain yourself for hours on the winding staircases along the streets. In the harbor are the magnificent remains of a Greek temple of Apollo, which was never completed. It is very photogenic, especially at sunset. With a moped or a rental car, you can visit surrounding villages between orange and olive groves.
Here you will find few foreigners. You can spend an delightful afternoon while sipping a glass of retsina with the locals and playing cards in the village square. You can also honor the god of wine, Dionysus, by tasting the wine in a local vineyard, for a small fee. Here other local delicacies are served.
Santorini
Day 14 Naxos - Santorini
Day 15 Santorini From the green Naxos we sail in about 3 hours by ferry to the volcanic island of Santorini. Ships sail into the flooded crater on the road to the port of Skala Tiras. The island is formed from the remains of a volcano that had a huge outburst in ancient times. High above the port on the semicircular crater lies the town of Thira. From the port to the city, it is a steep climb along a winding path. Nowadays you can go via a cable car up, but you can also rent a donkey to ascent! From our hotel you walk in a half hour to the center or the mountains.
It is possible to take a boat trip to the island of Nea Kameni. Where the remainder of the volcano imploded, it has slowly resurfaced and protrudes above water. You can burn your feet on the hot black lava.
The island has several more villages with narrow streets, traditional houses and chapels. At the end of the afternoon you can wind down in a taverna and can enjoy a glass of Ouzo or Retsina and watch a beautiful sunset.
Crete
Day 16 Santorini - Crete
Day 17 Crete
Day 18 Crete
Day 19 Crete
Day 20 Crete
We continue our journey to the most southern Greek island of Crete. The ferry to Heraklion takes two hours. Then we drive to Chania, which lies west of Heraklion. Chania is a vibrant town with a beautiful old center and a Venetian harbor. You can walk around, and (as the Greeks from the area also love to do) or visit one of the local museums.Crete is known for its lively resorts on the coast and the many traditional villages that you discover. You can rent a car and spend a day driving in the interior. You can also go look to Heraklion which houses the second most important national archaeological museum in Greece. For the hiking enthusiasts there is also a great challenge. When weather permits you can take the 16-kilometer walk through the Samaria Gorge.Relaxing on the beach is also possible.

Keep in mind that they may recommend an inoculation or medication such as malaria pills, which may be necessary for one specific part of a country but not another, or for a particular season. Shots are expensive. Make sure to get only what is needed. We recommend asking your doctor for a prescription to combat a more serious intestinal disorder.
When you book a trip we will provide you with information regarding the usual recommendations for the region we will visit. You will be responsible to check with your travel clinic or physician to review your plans and to find out the most up-to-date recommendations and needs for your particular situation.

Djoser is not responsible for costs incurred for changes or missed portions of a program or missed flights due to such events, so make sure you check your policy.

Typically, there are only one to five North Americans per group. You will find that almost all of your fellow travelers have an excellent command of English and most are very willing to socialize. It’s a great idea to extend an invitation to a few travel mates for coffee or a drink early in the trip. They will appreciate your effort and this is a great way to break the ice. It will be easier for them to test out their English skills in a quiet, one-on-one setting. Group members tend to warm up to one another in a day or two. As with every tour group, compatibility has most to do with individual personalities.
