Discover the Many Faces of Greece

From the timeless allure of Athens' ancient ruins to the stunning vistas of Santorini's cliffs, Greece is a tapestry of sights and experiences. Whether you're embarking on Greece adventure tours or seeking a more relaxed pace during your Greece vacations, the country's diverse offerings promise something for every traveller.

The Timeless Appeal of Athens

Athens, the cradle of Western civilization, pulsates with a unique blend of antiquity and modernity. Begin your exploration with a visit to the Acropolis, where the Parthenon stands as a testament to the grandeur of ancient Greek architecture. Stroll through the charming neighbourhoods of Plaka and Monastiraki, where cobbled streets are lined with shops offering an array of local crafts and souvenirs. Don't miss the chance to savour authentic Greek cuisine at a traditional taverna, where dishes are prepared with recipes passed down through generations.

Adventurous Escapades Await

For those with a passion for excitement, Greece adventure travel offers a plethora of activities that showcase the country's natural beauty. Dive into the crystalline waters of the Aegean Sea for an unforgettable snorkelling or diving experience. On land, traverse rugged terrains during a mountain biking expedition in the Peloponnese or hike the Samaria Gorge in Crete for awe-inspiring scenery. Each adventure offers a unique perspective on Greece's diverse landscape.

Island Hopping: A Journey of Discovery

Set sail on a journey through Greece's enchanting islands, each with its distinct charm and character. The Cyclades, a cluster of islands in the Aegean Sea, are renowned for their postcard-perfect beaches and lively nightlife. Mykonos, with its cosmopolitan flair, beckons travellers with its blend of vibrant beach clubs and serene sun-kissed shores. Meanwhile, Santorini enchants visitors with its breathtaking sunsets and dramatic caldera views, offering an unparalleled sense of romantic allure.

Savour the Flavours of Greece

Culinary exploration is an integral part of any Greece vacation. Delight in the simplicity and richness of Greek cuisine, where fresh, local ingredients are the heroes of each dish. From the tangy Greek salad to the savoury delight of moussaka, every meal is a celebration of flavour. Be sure to sample local delicacies like souvlaki or gyro, and finish your meal with a sip of ouzo or a serving of baklava, a sweet pastry with layers of honey and nuts. The experience of dining under the stars at a seaside taverna is as quintessentially Greek as the dishes themselves.

Embrace the Culture and Traditions

Greece's rich history and vibrant culture are woven into the fabric of everyday life. Festivals and celebrations are abundant, offering glimpses into the traditional customs that have been preserved over centuries. Participate in a local festival to experience lively music, dance, and the warm hospitality of the Greek people. Whether it's the carnival of "Apokries" or an intimate village celebration, such events provide insight into the soulful and joyous spirit of Greece's culture.

Practical Tips for Your Grecian Adventure

  • Pack Accordingly: Greece's climate varies, so pack light layers for cooler evenings and comfortable footwear for exploring cities and hiking trails.
  • Travel Smart: Consider the use of public transportation like buses and ferries for cost-effective travel within and between cities and islands.
  • Be Respectful: When visiting religious sites, dress modestly as a sign of respect to local customs.

Greece is a destination that promises to fulfil every traveller's desires, from exhilarating Greece adventure tours to serene Greece vacations spent basking under the Grecian sun. With its remarkable blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, Greece invites you to embark on an unforgettable journey of discovery and connection.

Athens is like a living labyrinth—layered, electric, and full of stories if you know where to look. Once you’ve seen the major landmarks, get lost in places like Psiri and Koulaki for a real local vibe

It’s fairly easy to travel between islands by plane or ferry, but I love renting a dune buggy once I’m there—it’s more fun than taxis.

We had a fabulous Croatia vacation with a cruise from Dubrovnik to Split, followed by land tours on Split and Opatija. Lodging was always comfortable and conveniently located. Tours and activities were perfectly suited to our interests. We have used GoWay for 2 vacations and are currently working on another. Karen

We would like to thank our travel specialist, Bijal for all the planning and coordinating that was done to make our Tanzania trip as spectacular as it was from start to finish! Everything went so smoothly from our transfers, to our accommodations, to all of our tours! The people we came into contact with were exemplary! There were so many highlights on our trip from the animal sightings, to the balloon flight and champagne breakfast, to all the incredible scenery. Our accommodations were stunning! The level of service was remarkable and the locations were beyond our expectations. To think we would be having dinner and seeing the zebras and the elephants in the distance was amazing! Our tour guide/driver was very knowledgeable, friendly, passionate and had a keen eye for spotting animals in the distance. He made sure that we saw all the animals that we had hoped to see. it was truly a pleasure to spend the week with him. Thank you again to Bijal for all the work in making this once in a lifetime trip so exceptional!! We look forward to having Bijal help us plan our future trips.The Chadwicks and Williams

I wanted to do a once in a lifetime vacation but had no idea where to start, other than knowing where I wanted to go. I reached out to goway.com and Jessica (shoutout!), who is an expert on our specific destination, sent me an itinerary quickly! She had me going into the jungle one day, so I requested to swap that nonsense for a fishing charter, and before I knew it, my trip was ready. We just returned and it truly was a once in a lifetime experience! The resort service was top notch and (according to locals) we had all of the BEST activities the island has to offer. If you are up in the air at all as to whether or not going through goway is worth the money, I'm here to tell you: If it's peace of mind and a perfect vacation you're looking for, do it now.therealitgirl

We recently worked with Jacqueline to plan our trip to Greece and had a wonderful experience. We made several revisions to our itinerary and Jacqueline was patient, understanding and prompt in responding to our needs. In addition to the specific tours she booked, she provided extra options and local suggestions for each place we visited in Greece. Her attention to detail and responsiveness made our trip incredibly memorable. Mark Mendell

We have used Goway several times to plan simple & more complicated trips. The last 2 trips we worked with Brooke Theron who is extremely customer focused. She listens well & is alway flexible to look at alternatives. We will continue using this representative & Goway. Our only criticism is that they do not break down the various costs of a trip which makes tipping very awkward. It can also create a sense of " mistrust" when all the costs are not transparent.

Our trip to Switzerland was an amazing experience. Our travel agent at GoWay, Bo was so helpful in helping my husband Louie plan just what we wanted to do on this trip. Taking the trains thru the county was easy by the many hours Louie and Bo worked on this. Also our helicopter ride in Zermatt on my birthday was just unbelievable. Flying around the Matterhorn and the Alps is one flight we will never forget. Thanks Bo for setting this up. The trip was one incredible adventure that we will never forget. Thanks again Bo, Lynn Gerber. Lynn Gerber

We booked a Goway tour to Botswana and Zimbabwe and it was excellent.  We worked with Brooke, the Goway represntative, to set up the tour and she was an outstanding agent who answered any questions we had very quickly and completely. Her hotel recommendation for the additional night we stayed was pefect.   Goway hires a local tour group, Jenman Safaris, to lead the safari in the 2 countries. The tour itself was amazing...the lodges that we stayed at were very nice and the food was great (except for one lodge's food). The Goway itinerary was slightly different than the actual Jenman Safari itinerary but most of the sites that we went to were the same as listed on the Goway itinerary. I would use Goway again because their choice of a local tour group was very good...nice lodges/camps and good food and knowledgeable tour guides.Ma Fa

Matthew handled my honeymoon couple's very specific African itinerary like a pro! My clients went to four different travel agents who only wanted to send them on safaris. My clients had already done safaris and were specific on what they wanted to do and see. Matthew hit the nail on the head! Highly recommend!Amanda Schott
