Athens & History

The Acropolis, ancient oracles & Byzantine monasteries

Overview

The Cradle of Western Civilisation

Athens is one of the world's great cities — a living museum where 3,000 years of history are woven into the fabric of everyday life. Beyond the capital, Delphi's oracle, Meteora's sky-high monasteries, and the birthplace of the Olympic Games at Olympia offer some of the most profound historical experiences on earth. For clients who want depth alongside beauty, this is Greece at its most extraordinary.

Athens & Attica

The cradle of Western civilisation. The Acropolis and Parthenon remain the most iconic ancient monuments in the world, but Athens rewards those who look deeper — the Plaka old town, the National Archaeological Museum (the finest collection of ancient Greek art on earth), Cape Sounion's clifftop Temple of Poseidon, and a modern city of outstanding restaurants, galleries, and rooftop bars.

Meteora & Delphi
Mainland

Meteora & Delphi

Two of Greece's most otherworldly destinations. Meteora's monasteries — perched impossibly atop sheer rock pillars rising from the Thessaly plain — are among the most dramatic sights in Europe. Delphi, the navel of the ancient world, where the Oracle spoke and city-states sent their greatest treasures, sits on the slopes of Mount Parnassus above the Gulf of Corinth.
