Greece is the land where the Olympian gods ruled! This action-packed tour of Greece’s highlights is perfect for the adventurer with limited time who wants to explore the region’s diversity.

The largest island in Greece, Crete is a feast for the senses: wild natural beauty and thousands of years of culture, history, and exquisite cuisine“The mystery of Crete runs deep. Whoever sets foot on this island senses a mysterious force coursing warmly and beneficently through their veins, sensing their soul beginning to grow,” wrote Nikos Kazantzakis, Crete’s most celebrated author, in Report to Greco.
On the south side of the Aegean is an island that is mystical, warm and welcoming, pure, and generous. Crete captures the spirit of Greece and enchants everyone who visits it. Heraklion, Rethymno, Chania, Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, Ierapetra, Malia, Hersonissos, Sitia, Sfakia… wherever you visit, it’s an island of thousands of vibrant images, filled with an open-hearted and vivacious spirit, rich history, world-famous cuisine, and hospitable people. A priceless gift of culture and history….

Turkey is not just a country; it’s a bridge between two continents, Europe and Asia, and a melting pot of myriad traditions, customs, and values, making it an ideal destination for the Eat DrinkTravel Group
