What to know before you go

POPULATION
More than 10 million people live in this island-rich nation. Did you know that Greece boasts more than 6,000 islands and islets throughout the Aegean and Ionian Seas?

CAPITAL
Athens is Greece’s biggest city and one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in the world. Its history dates back more than 3,400 years.

CULTURAL QUICK TAKE
Greeks are known for their warm hospitality and generosity—offering guests food and drink is a common practice.

WHAT TO GO FOR
You could easily fill a vacation admiring ancient architecture, adventurously island-hopping, or delighting in fresh-off-the-boat seafood. What flavor of Greece travel entices you most?

ISLANDS YOU CAN VISIT ON TOUR
There’s much more to the Greek Islands than Mykonos. Discover the unique character of Crete, Corfu, Kefalonia, Zakynthos, Rhodes, Symi, Kos, and, of course, Santorini.

Plan your odyssey

Consider this your permission slip to go ahead and get out there, with advice on venturing beyond Santorini and venturing solo (or both).

6 can’t-miss Greek Islands

Whether you eat and drink your way from island to island or immerse yourself in the history of the tiny towns you visit along the way, there’s no wrong way to set your watch to island time.

6 reasons to visit Greece solo

Celebrating a milestone birthday or your newly minted MBA? Solo travel is the empowering, life-affirming, main-character-energy gift you give yourself.

Capture the essence of Ellada

Greece, officially known as the Hellenic Republic, also goes by Hellas or Ellada locally. No matter what you call it, it’s your launchpad to discovering the cradle of Western civilization and roots of democracy, philosophy, and art.

Signature experiences for your memory vault. Why don’t you...

Take time to reflect

Follow a holy path to the sites where Paul the Apostle lived and preached on our Footsteps of St. Paul in Greece: Thessaloniki to Athens tour.

Plan an epicurean escape

Savor 11 delicious days, eating and drinking your way through Greece, from souvlaki to saganaki, on our Food & Wine: A Taste of Greece tour.

Join the action

Combine wine-tasting with gentle hiking, swimming, or snorkeling on our Greece’s Cyclades Islands: Naxos and Paros tour.

Go (way) back in time

Listen for the echoes of antiquity swirl around temples and excavated ruins on our A Week in Ancient Greece: Athens, Delphi & Olympia tour.
