Greece Travel Advice & Information
Our experts will customise the perfect Greece cultural holiday for you, but here’s just a taste of what you might discover on your tailor-made trip:
See a show at an ancient amphitheatre
Theatre was a cornerstone of Ancient Greek culture and, while some are now mere ruins, others have been restored for modern day use. On your Greece cultural holiday, head to the theatre of Epidaurus near Athens, Ancient Dion near Thessaloniki or Thassos on Greece’s northernmost island, which all still host shows and festivals today.
Visit Europe’s oldest city
Knossos is located on the island of Crete, just south of Heraklion, and is home to an ancient palace built by a civilization we now call the Minoans. Crete is a great base for anyone looking for the best of both worlds on their Greece cultural holiday. It’s the largest Greek island and has everything on offer, from ancient archaeological sites, to buzzing nightlife, beautiful beaches and even mountains.
Follow in the footsteps of the original Olympians
The Olympic Games were created to celebrate the ancient world’s most accomplished athletes, a tradition that continues to this day. Our expert guides can help you make the most of your Greece cultural holiday by sharing their unparalleled knowledge of the event’s fascinating history as you explore Olympia. Walk or even run around the same track where athletes competed for glory millennia ago and imagine the roar of the crowd.
