Itinerary

Tour Itinerary

The locals say that the best way to drink a glass of ouzo, the Greek anise-infused liquor, is with a cool splash of water. This refreshing tour of Greece creates a big splash with an enlightening tour of Athens followed by a 7-night cruise to the Greek Isles and Turkey. Walk in the footsteps of celebrated philosophers, run down the same paths as ancient Olympians, and then dive into the ancient ruins and resorts of the Aegean where legendary harbors, charming villages, and pristine beaches await. From the vibrant volcanic island of Milos to the whitewashed villas of Santorini, and from wonder-filled Crete to the modern getaway of Mykonos, it’s hard to say which sparkles more - the crystal-clear water of the Aegean or the hidden jewels along its storied shores.

Outstanding trip and everything from the accommodations to the excursions and tour director and guides were top notch.

This was my first cruise with Globus, and I was thoroughly impressed.

Our tour Guide for Greece, Themis, really went out of her way to help us. She was very accommodating, explained to us all the inside scoop of the area. Very warm and nice person, and very smart and knowledgeable.

We thoroughly enjoyed the trip - our hostess was extremely conscientious and did a great job keeping us informed. The guides on all the excursions were well-informed and very professional. We liked the information sheets that Globus composed preparing us for day trips to each of the Greek isles.

We made an unexpected stop before we got to Ephephus which made taking pictures at dark not very good. To some that was the most important place we visited. Enjoyed my trip immensely but not enough photo stops as compared to other trips.

A job well done. Affordable Tours and Globus provided us as much or more than we expected from them. The tour guide with Globus was exceptional and helped make the trip easy and fun. I would highly recommend Globus, especially if all their tour guides were as good as ours.
