Sun-Kissed Bliss in Crete

Nestled in the azure embrace of the Mediterranean, Crete offers an enchanting blend of stunning landscapes and traditional Greek culture. The beaches here are legendary, like the pink-tinged sands of Elafonissi, where the crystalline waters invite you to laze away the day. For those with a penchant for adventure, the Samaria Gorge presents a stunning hiking opportunity that rewards with its dramatic vistas.

Dotted with quaint villages where local tavernas serve authentic Cretan dishes, Crete beckons food lovers to indulge in its culinary delights. Here, the freshest seafood pairs effortlessly with locally produced wines, offering a gastronomy journey that celebrates the island’s rich heritage.

The Aegean's Precious Gem: Santorini

Renowned worldwide for its iconic sunsets, Santorini is a must-visit on any list of Greece vacation packages. The island's unique, crescent-shaped caldera and cascading whitewashed buildings, accented by striking blue domes, create a postcard-perfect setting that's irresistibly charming. Perissa and Kamari beaches, with their distinctive black sands, offer a unique beachfront experience. These vibrant locales are ideal for those looking to unwind beneath the Grecian sun or partake in thrilling water sports.

Santorini's allure extends beyond its beaches; its rich history is palpable in the ancient ruins of Akrotiri and the medieval atmosphere of Pyrgos village. Stroll along the narrow streets, discover local art, and savour the island's renowned Assyrtiko wines.

Rhodes: A Journey Through Time

Rhodes stands as a testament to Greece's storied past. While its beaches lure visitors with golden sands and inviting waters, its medieval Old Town captivates with fortified walls and cobbled streets that echo tales of the Knights of St. John. For a taste of the island's breathtaking coastal beauty, venture to Anthony Quinn Bay, a secluded paradise framed by lush greenery and rock formations.

Immerse yourself in local culture as vibrant festivals and bustling markets bring Rhodes to life. The hospitality of the Rhodians, coupled with their passion for traditional cuisine, ensures an enriching cultural dining experience that celebrates regional flavours and the bounty of the Aegean.

The Allure of Mykonos

Known for its pulsating nightlife and cosmopolitan aura, Mykonos also excels in offering serene retreats along its beaches. Psarou and Ornos attract international jet-setters with their pristine shores and upscale beach bars. However, for a more tranquil experience, the beaches of Agios Sostis and Fokos remain blissfully unspoiled.

While the island buzzes after dark, mornings on Mykonos are perfect for exploring its charming town labyrinths, lined with boutique shops and quaint cafés. The iconic windmills standing sentinel above the town offer spectacular views and a glimpse into the island’s past.

Experiencing Greece Through Lifestyle

Greece beach holidays offer much more than sun and sand; they provide an intimate look into the nation's heart and soul. As you explore covered markets, partake in age-old traditions, and engage with welcoming locals, you'll discover the essence of Greek lifestyle, where every moment is cherished.

Whether you seek a flow of adrenaline through water sports, wish to bask in historic wonders, or crave culinary exploits, Greece's diverse offerings ensure that travellers of all inclinations will find joy and adventure.

Unlock the myriad wonders of Greece by indulging in one of its carefully curated Greece vacation packages. Each promises an unforgettable journey through dreamlike beaches, age-old traditions, and a culture that feels like home.

Locals don’t rush—whether it's dinner at 10:00 p.m. or a three-hour coffee. The best way to experience Greece is to match its rhythm and let moments stretch out.

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.

Alice was most helpful - full of insider suggestions. She was a good listener and able to provide tours, routes and guides tailored to our interests. She made our February trip to New Zealand entirely wonderful. Marlene

We did a 19 day NZ Rail and Cruise Discovery Tour and then a 12 day Australian tour put together by out specialized travel operator Joanne Palanuik. New Zealand- ABT Tours ran the actual tour and did a fabulous job. The Guide Sharon was great and worked very hard coordinating 32 people. Mostly all Australians and we has so much fun with them! Our driver Chris (a retired policeman) was especially great- he knew so many interesting things about NZ and shared them while driving throughout the trip. We loved him! So many highlights...overnight on a ship in the Milford Sound...cable car to a nature reserve then a Gold Class train ride back...Queenstown adventures..excellent meals along the way...all drivers and transfers were excellent too. Oceana Tours in Melbourne were great as well. A morning city tour and afternoon tour were wonderful. Then the next day to Philips Island for the Penguin moonlit march was sooo special. And the Ocean road cruise too!! Sydney was gorgeous...Bondi Beach...Barrier Reef...Ayers Rock (Uluru) Both Australians and New Zealanders were so helpful and friendly... In short I wish I could do it all over again..highly recommend. Every day was a new adventure :) Kathleen Reardon customer

Katie was a dream to work with. We made many changes to the standard itinerary to customize our trip and she never missed a beat. Her responsiveness and humor made working together a joy and her most common response to our very packed activities was, “can I help with that?” Hotels, car rental all went smoothly and were very much to our liking. The super long flights were laid out to minimize travel time and maximize comfort. Katie and GoWay made this dream trip happen. Faye

Its all about the journey, isn't it? And our journey through Kenya, Africa was amazing and we have Bijal Kana of Goway Travel to thank for it. From the start when we first discussed a true Safari adventure, Bijal was being helpful. Her suggestions were helpful in where to go and how we could save a few dollars when possible. Never trying to be cheap but simply, cost conscious. This was the beginning of what will continue as a forever working relationship in travel. Bijal gained our confidence and trust. And that is a rare commodity these days. Then too there was the staff from Goway and Sense of Africa like Ruth, Wilson and Francis who allowed us to see the non tourist side of Nairobi and became fast friends. The wonderful selections made by Bijal as to where we would stay and all the Serena locations were marvelous. And at the last minute, when a bridge got washed out and we could not get to the last lodge camp, Bijal responded to our whatsapp call immediately and we were placed in the Sorova lodge. True not the same, but in the middle of a game area, who complains? It was great and we had so much fun. The tour selection took us through parks, reserves and conservancy locales. We saw the big 5 and much more. Lions fighting, Hyenas making a chase and ultimate dinner selection, A leopard resting on tree branches, A cheetah stalking and then at rest. Hyena pups and Honbeast babes being birthed. Hippopotamus in the water, Zebra grazing, Elephants crossing rivers en mass. You'd think we hit the National Geographic channel. Great job Bijal. Good deal Goway.customerBram L. Bottfeld

Goway Travel helped us set up a Venice to Athens cruise on Viking and it was fantastic! Our agent (Kimberly) was responsive to all our questions and helpful navigating all the options for excursions, etc. She also gave us a cruise credit we could use while on the ship to help pay for extras. Overall great experience would use Goway again.Stanley

For the past four years, we have travelled to Perth, Australia to visit family. As part of our travels to Perth, we have had stays in Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland. This year, as part of our trip, we are staying in Melbourne and Adelaide. Each year, we have contacted Joanne at Goway to arrange our trip. She has booked all our flights and accommodations. She has been a wonderful source of travel locations within Australia and New Zealand. Joanne has always been very helpful. She checks on the best flights, give us ideas on airplane seat selection and locates great places to stay. She also provides ideas about what we might want to see or do at each location. Every time we contact her she is willing to provide information and answers any questions we may have. She listens to our requests, explains reasons for her suggestions, and answers any concerns we have with patience and understanding. We are so fortunate to have such a helpful, friendly individual as our travel advisor!Bob and Sue

Paul at GoWay made this first GoWay trip a breeze from start to finish! He was very quick to respond and created an incredible itinerary that my clients absolutely loved. From the incredible hotel location to the private tours led by knowledgeable tour guides who show that they love their jobs, it couldn't have gone better. Can't wait to Yesenia Rodriguez

Once again, Goway Travel has provided us with an amazing travel experience, and the customized itinerary prepared by Joanne Palanuik was second to none. She was the main reason that Australia is a "trip of a lifetime" for us. Her attention to detail and recognizing what would make this a special trip for us is noteworthy and much appreciated.Wally

I would recommend GoWay for travel anytime. I had a private tour of India built for me, after I was invited to my friend's wedding. I travelled around northern India with my driver for 10 days. I had a new guide most every day, for the trip, as we went from location to location. Absolutely everything was amazing!! I honestly can't say there was a negative moment in any of it. I felt 100% safe travelling alone with GoWay's experts. My lodgings were excellent and someone was always available for support, if need be. This was one of the best experiences of my life!!! Thank you so much GoWay!!Trudy Buelow
