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.

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.

Goway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'Neill

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay

We had a blast and felt covered by GoAway throughout. This was our first time using a travel agent and Melissa and her team made it easy. I also appreciated the quick communication while on our trip. I only wish that we got our official itinerary and tickets sooner as we did not receive them until a week prior. But it is busy season so I understand. Courtney McCarthy
