Greece Tour Packages

Best time to visit

The best time to visit Greece is believed to be in spring, early summer (mid-April to mid-June) or autumn (Sept to mid-October). If you don’t like the peak tourist season, you can avoid travelling during the month of August. But if you like the cold, especially snow-covered landscapes, feel free to book a Greece package in the winter. 

Winters are cold with variations of dry, wet and warm weathers while summers are plain hot. In the spring season, you get to celebrate a prolonged Easter week (Eastern holidays and St. George’s Day), whilst enjoying the pleasant weather. The autumn season greets you with clear calm and warm waters for you to dive and swim in. The tourist numbers dwindle down to a sparse few and as a result, you can enjoy a more peaceful vacation during these months.

How to reach

Places to see

• Visit the heart of Greece: Athens is not only the capital but the very epicentre of where the history of a powerful civilisation began and an empire emerged. The hilltop citadel of Acropolis, with the colonnaded structures distinguishing ancient structures, such as the Parthenon temple, represent a stark image of a once powerful civilisation; its ruins still standing tall in the sands of time. You can drop in at the Acropolis Museum and the National Archaeological Museum to witness age-old sculptures, vases, jewelleries and other well preserved relics of ancient Greece.  
•  
• The historically important structures have now become distinct landmarks, its originality still beautifully curated between contemporary architectural buildings. The modern city of Athens presents a bustling night life hub in locations such as Kolonaki, Psiri and Gazi. Walkways such as the ‘pedestrian only’ areas in the Palaka neighbourhood present tempting cafes, classical Greek tavernas and neoclassical houses. You can also leisure around the ‘Grand Promenade walkway’ built for the 2004 Olympics and admire at the crumbling timeless relics of the ancient Agora of Athens complex.

What to eat

•  
• Let’s start with some salad: The Greek salad is undoubtedly one of the most notable salads in the world. The salad is a staple diet in Greece, accompanying most of the meals. Made from fresh crunchy cucumber, tomatoes, onion, olives, the salad is well seasoned with salt and oregano, dressed with olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice and a generous helping of Greek feta cheese.  ​

• Wait, is it a dip or a salad? The taramalasta is a creamy, pink-coloured delight made from fish roe (eggs). This delectable food is far from the usual fishy flavour that many fish-based cuisines have, mainly because of the blend of olive oil and lemon juice. This is a dip, although it is sometimes confused for a salad. 

• The cooling freshness of Greek yoghurt: The Tzatziki is a wonder made with the infamous Greek yoghurt and cucumber, seasoned with some garlic. This salad pairs best with grilled meat or courgette meat balls or consumed alone - it is a refreshing delight! ​
•  
• Oven baked to perfection: The Moussaka is a layered, perennial favourite, relished throughout the Mediterranean and beyond. Variations are found throughout these regions. The secret of this dish lies in the layering of sautéed aubergine, layered with a tomato and minced meat sauce, flavoured with onion, garlic and spices like cinnamon and allspice, a bit of potato and topped with grated cheese and Béchamel sauce.
