This package is ideal for winter travelers that would like to combine the Greek mainland with a trip to the traditional island of Crete. Starting in Athens, the birthplace of democracy, you will explore the city's most prominent sites through our morning city tour. Afterwards, a full day tour will take you to Delphi, the 'navel of the world', as ancient Greeks used to call it. Both the ancient treasury of Athens and the famous oracle were located there in antiquity. After you've had your fill of the mainland, you will have the opportunity to see a more traditional side of Greece in Crete, the large island marking the border between Europe and Africa. Influenced by the many civilizations that passed through it, Crete has a unique cultural identity ranging from ancient Hellenic ruins, the Minoan Palace of Knossos and even Venetian harbors and forts. Explore as much as you can after you've established your base in the picturesque town of Chania. Taste the local delicacies that are based on an exquisite combination of Mediterranean cuisine and an oriental spice palette and make sure to get some recipes with you, otherwise you will regret not doing so. Enjoy a private tour through the straits of the old town of Chania and its Venetian fortifications, the scenic countryside and the unspoiled villages.
