Overview
Take a trip to Athens on your Greece Vacation
Athens, the mesmerizing capital of Greece, stands as a cradle of civilization, where democracy was born, and the heartbeat of the ancient world once resonated. Today, this vibrant metropolis reigns as the political, social, cultural, financial, and commercial centre of Greece.
Nestled within the prefecture of Attica, Athens sprawls across a peninsula extending toward Central Greece, embraced by mountains to the north and east, while the azure waters of the Saronic Gulf embrace its southern and western edges. The city basks in year-round sunshine, boasting one of Europe's most inviting climates, featuring mild winters and warm summers. Just a stone's throw away lies Piraeus, Athens' bustling port, the epicentre of maritime commerce and a gateway to the captivating Greek islands.
Archaeological treasures are abundant in this historical haven. The Acropolis, an iconic emblem of Athens, captivates all. This rocky citadel looms majestically over the city, a ubiquitous presence in every corner of the urban landscape. It serves as the paramount testament to ancient Greek culture. The Acropolis's roots reach deep into history, with the earliest inhabited remnants dating back to the Neolithic era.
As you wander the ancient streets and modern avenues of Athens, you'll find a city that brilliantly bridges the past and present, inviting you to explore its rich heritage, vibrant culture, and the essence of Greece's enduring legacy.

What do the experts say?
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.
Delphi isn’t just a historical site—it’s deeply spiritual. Standing where the Oracle once spoke, you feel this pulse of ancient energy still alive in the stones
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
Goway’s supplier will handle the entire trip once guests arrive in Greece—it’s white-glove service from start to finish
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.

She was patient as we kept modifying our plans. Got support from Goway and Katie when there was a need to rebook a tour midway through, all handled easily by Goway.Ron PrestonWe went on a highly customized comprehensive (though quick tour) of England and a bit of Scotland through Goway. Ingrid Aird did an amazing job of planning and arranging every detail with her deep experience, insight, thoughtfulness and creativity, tuning into the needs of each traveler; and she did so even though our decision to travel was rather spontaneous and last minute! Our family had the best time! We look forward to working with Ingrid and Goway again!Vilja BreilingWe used Goway to put together an itinerary for East Africa , and Zanzibar . Everything was great and went smoothly DawnI can't tell you enough how much I love to work with Callie. She is a life saver and I love how attentive she is. Every time I give her an itinerary for a client- she really knocks it out of the park with the proposal. If there are any issues- she is on it right away. Her work ethic is outstanding.Michelle LabarcaI had the pleasure of working with Amelia on a booking for a family of 4 to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. She executed everything perfectly, was attentive to needs and the family was over the top happy with their vacation. She was quick to answer questions and provide helpful feedback. Highly recommended!Jessie WilliamsWe were trying to navigate Swiss Travel Center to book a 10 day train trip through Switzerland. It was exactly what we wanted but navigating their site was extremely difficult for us. Goway Travel picked up on our plight and put us in contact with Jacqueline Fagooli, one of their agents. From there on everything was so smooth. Their efficiency, communication, and thoroughness were beyond our expectations. The trip was fabulous and kudos to Jacqueline and Goway for their help in making it so.Carolyn McCormackThe destination specialist I've worked with (Kim Rawlings) has provided exceptional service. She is very knowledgeable of her region and everything they have to offer. She is very prompt in her communication and follow-up. She listens and is very attentive to my client's needs and wants. Kim's personality makes one feel like they've known each other for years.
If GoWay had a customer service model, Kim is it.T. Jackson, Tribe Trek TravelWe had a wonderful and amazing two weeks in North-West Scotland. Shoutout to Jacqueline at Goway Toronto and the driver/guides with Rabbie's minibus tours (Stefan and Willie). Well-chosen hotels and no worries with dietary requirements; every detail was taken care of. Thank you!
