A primary guide will accompany you throughout the entire duration of the trip. The only exception is for itineraries that include archaeological tours, where a certified and licensed guide is required for those specific segments.

Filtered and mineral water is recommended for drinking. There will be water jugs at the hotels so you can refill your bottles.

Meals will feature local, traditional cuisine, typically served as a set three-course menu or in a family-style shared format. Menus are subject to seasonal changes and are finalized by the local operator prior to the start of each trip.

Both the welcome and farewell dinners will be taking place at proper sit-down restaurants. The menu will be a mixture of family style and set menu selections.

Unfortunately, the restaurants do not permit guests to bring their own wine or other beverages. However, a selection of wine and other spirits is available for purchase directly at the restaurant.

There is a snack bar where you can purchase sandwiches, snacks, coffee, juices, etc.

On Day 2, during the Athens City Tour, bottled water will be available for purchase either directly from the driver or at an additional cost from local kiosks. Snacks can also be purchased at kiosks along the way. If needed, your Guide will be happy to assist.

On Day 4, during the Santorini hike, each traveler will be provided with one juice, a traditional local snack (pasteli or halva), one bottle of water, and one piece of fruit. It is recommended to purchase any additional drinks or snacks in advance, as there may be limited options available along the hiking route. If the group has any special requests, feel free to discuss them with your Guide.

There are bus systems and Taxis throughout Greece, even in the small towns and on the islands.

There is no Uber, Lyft or other rideshare programs in Greece. In Athens, there is a Taxibeat app that is similar but calls regular taxis.
