See the ancient wonders and coastal beauty of Athens and Poros Island

Get lost in cities filled with ancient treasures on this family adventure through Greece. Explore the ruins of Delphi and Olympia – home to the first Olympic Games and part of the real-world landscape that inspired scenes from the Percy Jackson series. Visit the Hellenic Donkey Centre, where you’ll spend time with rescued donkeys, then unwind in the afternoon along the shores of Poros Island. Learn about Greek mythology from your local leader, prepare classic Greek dishes during a cooking class, and spend three nights glamping at the gateway to the Saronic Islands.
