Few destinations capture the imagination quite like Greece. Ancient ruins rising above sun-bleached cities, whitewashed villages spilling down volcanic cliffs, crystal-clear water in every shade of blue — and a culture built around good food, good wine, and the unhurried pleasure of doing both with strangers who quickly become friends. Our curated packages take you there, with return flights from Canada included and every island transfer taken care of.

When to Go

Greece rewards travellers across a long season. July and August are peak summer — blazing sunshine, warm evenings, and sea temperatures perfect for swimming, though the islands are at their liveliest and most visited. If you prefer a quieter, more authentic experience, May, June, and September are the sweet spot: temperatures sit comfortably between 22 and 28°C, crowds thin out, and the landscape is at its most vivid. Wildflowers blanket the hillsides in spring, while September brings a golden, unhurried end-of-summer mood. Whichever window you choose, Greece delivers.

Beyond the Itinerary: Suggested Day Trips

Every island on our routes has more to offer than the highlights alone. From Athens, a coastal drive to the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion is one of antiquity's most dramatic settings — or head inland to the ancient Oracle's sanctuary at Delphi. On Santorini, a caldera volcanic cruise into the flooded crater is unforgettable, with stops at thermal hot springs and the quiet village of Thirassia. In Crete, hike the epic Samaria Gorge — one of Europe's longest — or explore the 3,500-year-old Minoan palace at Knossos. Day-trip from Mykonos to the uninhabited sacred island of Delos, birthplace of Apollo and one of the Aegean's most impressive open-air museums. On Paros, the sea caves of Antiparos are a short ferry away; on Naxos, a hike to the Aegean's highest peak and through medieval tower villages reveals a slower, deeply charming interior.
