Divider Aspects of Greece -  10 days from £1002
Flight Tour the stunning ancient sites of Athens
Delphi, Greece Epidaurus, Greece
The archaeological sites of Greece provide an enduring attraction, but tourism is not new here, for over 1,800 years ago the Greek historian Pausanias wrote the first travel guide! Travelling through the Greek landscape is akin to journeying through time itself. Symbols of Europe’s greatest ages are everywhere – the Mycenaean, Minoan, Hellenistic and Byzantine – and the 21st century is represented by Athens’ hosting of the 2004 Olympic Games. As well as visiting some of the famous sites, there will be an opportunity to enjoy relaxing in a beachside resort – an unbeatable combination!
