Join ROMTravel on a modern Greek odyssey.
Crete, Santorini, and the bustling capital of Athens and its environs are our destinations in this carefully crafted itinerary to one of the world’s most enchanting countries. Myths, legends, and iconic ancient ruins pair with a vibrant modern culture, providing one of the most magical travel experiences.
From mysterious Crete – home of Knossos and legendary Minotaurs – to the incredible blue of the Aegean Sea to Santorini to the mighty legacy of ancient Athens, our Greek odyssey provides a rich selection of Greece’s renowned cultural, historical, and architectural heritage – all paired with seaside dinners, world-class museum, iconic landmarks, and more.
After experiencing beautiful and historic Crete, Homer’s land, birthplace of Zeus and home to the Minotaur, we cruise the Aegean to the magical island of Santorini. Here, we’ll be captivated by the iconic white and blue buildings and vineyards defiantly thriving in the island’s harsh climate. We then travel to Athens, where we’ll be immersed in a beautiful blend of past and present. From the Acropolis to the Agora, archaeological ruins to first-class museums and artistic wonders, the city will enchant at every turn. Using Athens as our base, we then venture out to Delphi, Corinth, Epidaurus, Mycenae and Sounion for more extraordinary tour experiences.
