A stunning view of Kerkyra Town in the summer

This package will help you traverse the entirety of Greece in just a few days! Starting from Athens, the center of the country you will be introduced to the Greek pace of life, a slower much more enjoyable rhythm which you will get accustomed to in no time! The city offers every modern amenity and yet there is something magical knowing that every time you turn a corner you may encounter the remnants of an ancient library, a statue of a renowned philosopher, or a pillar that used to belong to the temple of a long-forgotten God. There are few places in the world that are recognizable just by looking up, as the view of the Acropolis cannot be mistaken for anything else in this world.

Once you depart from Athens, you will travel to the West edge of Greece in the Ionian Sea. There awaits Corfu a beautiful island full of awe-inspiring natural landscapes and home to dozens of villages that have be molded by both Greek and Italian (with a sprinkle of British) influences over the centuries. This amalgamation has birthed unique customs and traditions that you will be discovering as you mix with locals and explore the island.

Finally, you will head down south to the border of not only Greece, but Europe itself as you reach the vast island of Crete! A diverse ecosystem of palm forests, tall mountains, gorges teeming with wildlife, coral beaches and idyllic lagoons that is guaranteed to offer something for every taste. You will be based on the Western part of the island, but your exploration knows no limits if only you set your mind to it!
