Greece is a land where nature and history meet, and this 7-day tour is designed to offer you the perfect combination of culture exploration, adventure, and leisure. From bustling Athens, with its ancient ruins and vibrant quarters, to tranquil mountains and spectacular beaches of Evia Island, this tour takes you through some of Greece's most intriguing sites.
This journey starts in Athens, the heart of Greece, where you will explore some of the world's most famous ancient landmarks, including the Acropolis, Parthenon, and Ancient Agora. Walking along the charming Plaka Streets, you will get to know traditional Greek life, its lively atmosphere, local craft stores, and old-fashioned tavernas. This is your Greek beginning, which will set you up for the adventure that lies ahead.
Following the immersion in the grandeur of Athens, the tour moves to Evia Island, Greece's second-largest island, which boasts beautiful landscapes, dramatic mountains, green forests, and breathtaking coastline. The island is still off the beaten path of mass tourism, so it is the perfect place for visitors who want to experience real Greek life.
At Chalkida, the gateway to Evia, you have a mix of sea and city beauty and a wonderful swimming experience in the Gulf of Euboea. The tour then continues into the interior of Evia with a visit to Steni Village, a charming mountain village renowned for its natural beauty and traditional hospitality. You trek into the surrounding mountains, sample local food, and soak up the leisurely atmosphere of the village.
The walk then proceeds along a scenic trail through Stropones Gorge, in which you will be trekking through lush foliage, along streams, and between towering rock formations. The adjacent Aegean Sea is the perfect place to cool off from your hike, with its crystal clear waters and isolated beaches.
One of the tour's most majestic highlights is the Evia Island Aegean Sea escapade, where you're treated to a day of relaxation, discovery, and cultural immersion. This includes a boat tour around picturesque views, beachside barbecue on the beach with fresh seafood and local delicacies grilled on the spot, and a taste of traditional Greek dancing. This day embodies the spirit of the Greek philosophy of living life to the fullest with great food, great company, and simply breathtaking natural beauty.
As the trip comes to a close, you will have the opportunity to make one final early morning swim in the Aegean before departing back to Athens International Airport.
