After your arrival in the mythical city of Athens, the transfer to your hotel will be conducted in one of our private vehicles. A member of our English speaking team will meet you at your hotel, help you with the check-in, inform you of all the details of your trip, introduce you to the city and its everyday way of life and answer any questions you may have. The rest of the day is free for you to relax and enjoy Athens at your own pace.

Greca Tip: Extend your stay by adding more nights during Step 1 of 3 of your reservation!

Take your seat and enjoy the city of Athens and its suburbs in a comfortable open top, double-decker bus with this unique 48-hour pass and for as many times as you wish. Available in more than 16 languages including English, Spanish and Chinese with departures from selected points all over Athens as well as from the cruise terminal.

In the evening you can join our English-speaking guide in a leisurely but very informative walk through the prettiest districts of Athens, such as Anafiotika, Tiseo, Monastiraki and Plaka.

Orange Line
Visit the Acropolis and the Parthenon. The orange line will take you on a tour of the most beautiful attractions of the Athenian historic center, where among others, you can see the neighborhoods of Plaka, Thisseo, and Monastiraki, considered to be some of the most traditional and lively areas of Athens! You can also visit the famous "Adrian’s Gate" in honour of the Roman Emperor, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, built during the Roman period and the largest temple in Greece at the time, the Hellenic Parliament in order to witness the change of Guards at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and Ermou Street, the heart of the capital’s commercial district. Do not hesitate to explore the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first modern Olympic Games were held, the National Library and a little further away the National Archaeological Museum.

Blue Line - Piraeus
If you arrive by cruise you can begin your tour immediately upon disembarkation from any of the stops specifically located in the vicinity of the cruise terminal. You will marvel at the charming ports of Pasalimani, Turcolimano, the yacht marina and even "Mikrolimano", the old port of Piraeus. By combining the Orange Line with the Blue Line you will not miss out on the impressive new Acropolis Museum or the Acropolis Hill with superb views of the Parthenon.

Yellow Line - Glyfada
Begin your tour of the Athenian Riviera from the "Planetarium" stop of the Blue Line. Discover how once one of the least populated places has now become one of the most cosmopolitan areas of Greece. From the Stavros Niarchos Foundation to the largest marina, in the Mediterranean "Marina Alimou", the Yellow Line to Glyfada is a mixture of history and modernism; a combination of old-time culture and contemporary entertainment. Do not miss the sunset seen from the Marina Flisvou, or sunbathe and swim in the Aghios Kosmas beaches. In the Glyfada Terminal, you can also stroll in the most cosmopolitan neighborhoods of the capital, shop in the luxurious department stores, relax in the beautiful cafes and enjoy a delicious cocktail in one of the sea-front bars.

Green Line - Vouliagmeni
Vouliagmeni may have been associated with beaches, but the area is a history lesson in itself. From the Allied Forces Cemetery to the Byzantine Museum, Vouliagmeni is certainly worth visiting with Green Line. Relax on the beautiful Kavouri Oceanis beach, one of the most popular beaches in Athens. Discover Vouliagmeni Lake, the hidden treasure of Attica’s nature and have a truly natural and unique thermal spa experience.

Train of Happiness - Piraeus
If you arrive by cruise, you can start your visit immediately upon disembarkation at one of the stops located in the vicinity of the cruise terminal.  With Blue Line or with this train line operating its distinctive vehicles, you can roam in the narrow streets of Piraeus and get a closer look of this sizeable teeming port.  Among others, important landmarks are the impressive Municipal Theater, the Nautical Museum,  the Pasalimani port as well as Korai Square, the commercial center of Piraeus.

Greca Tip: If you want a truly memorable and romantic experience, combine this tour with the Cape Sounion Sunset Tour package.

In the morning, and after a good breakfast, you will visit Delphi, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the center or 'navel' of the ancient world.  It was here where the renowned Oracle of Delphi, a counsellor of kings and pilgrims, could be found. You cannot miss out on a visit to the museum, which houses the "Bronze Charioteer", a masterpiece of Greek sculpture.

At the end of your Delphi tour, you will descend the slopes of Mount Parnassus and head towards the plains of Thessaly, where the city of Kalambaka is located.  

Upon your arrival in Kalambaka you will check in at your hotel, have dinner and rest or you can go out to explore the town’s old picturesque district with its narrow cobblestoned streets and traditional houses. 

Greca Tip: You may also use your free time to visit the Temple of Athena Pronaia at Delphi.

Early in the morning you will visit Meteora, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988. In this mysterious landscape, the natural beauty is combined with the compelling presence of the eternal monasteries suspended or "meteora" on top of the huge rocks. Currently there are only six in use, five for the male and one for the female monastic community.  

On the way back to Athens, you will briefly stop at Thermopylae, where you can see the statue of the Spartan King Leonidas, famous for leading the battle against the Persians in 480 BC. In the late afternoon you will arrive in Athens, where we will drop you off at your hotel.

Dress code to the Monasteries: Sleeveless clothing and shorts above the knee are not allowed. Skirts, shawls and trousers are available at the entrance of the Monasteries in case visitors do not have such clothing to cover themselves with.

Greca Tip: Take a stroll in Kalambaka's old town and look for handmade wood carved objects and religious icons as well as home-made sausages, honey, fruit sweets and jams, and the regional pudding (“spatoula”) or “halva” for a sweet aftertaste.

In the morning you will be transferred to the port to commence your full day cruise to three of the most beautiful islands of the Saronic Gulf. Aegina is famous for its variety of pistacios, Poros for its scenic beauty and Hydra, the greenest of these islands, for its elegant stone mansions, serene atmosphere and vehicle free roads.

While on board the ship, you will also have the chance to enjoy lunch in the accompaniment of traditional Greek music and dance.  At the end of the day you will be comfortably transferred back to your hotel.

Greca Tip: Try the different varieties of pistachio nuts grown on the famous island of Aegina.

After a delicious breakfast and at the indicated time, our staff will transfer you to Athens International Airport,  to embark on your flight to Zagreb. 

Upon your arrival at the airport of Zagreb, one of our vehicles will be waiting for you at the airport to welcome and transfer you comfortably and quickly to your hotel. The rest of the day is free for you to relax, or if you wish, you can begin enjoying the city at your own pace.

Zagreb, the capital of Croatia is distinguished for its Austro-Hungarian architecture dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. At its center, in "Upper Town", is the Gothic Zagreb Cathedral, with two identical spires, and the 13th-century St. Mark's Church, with a colorful roof. Nearby is the pedestrian Tkalčićeva street, lined with sidewalk cafes. Lower Town has a main square, Ban Jelačić, along with shops, museums, and parks.

Tip Greca: Don't miss a chance to taste the Kulen, one of Croatia's best-known cold-cut delicacies.

After a tasty breakfast, we will meet our local guide at the hotel reception to begin our walking tour of the city.

We will visit the upper part of the city, where the government buildings and the 13th-century Church of San Marcos are located. The interior of these buildings can be considered as a sculpture, with a spectacularly colored tiled roof.

Later, we will continue with the lower part of the city where we will visit the historic Dolac Market, the largest market in Zagreb, active since 1926, and Ban Jelacic Square, built during the second world war, a meeting place for locals and the commercial and financial center of the city.

After the visit, we will have the rest of the day free to get lost in the streets of this charming and lively city that has more museums than hotels.

Greca Tip: Make sure to visit one of Zagreb's many museums.

After a delicious breakfast, we will have the day off to continue exploring Zagreb and its surroundings at our own pace.

Optionally, we will have the possibility of taking an excursion to the Plitvice National Park recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1979 with our accompanying guide who will tell us all its secrets. Plitvice is known as the Paradise of Waters since it has 16 small lakes and multiple waterfalls and streams of spectacular beauty. Hopefully, in addition to enjoying this beech forest, we will be able to see lynx, deer and tawny owls.

After the visit, we will have lunch in a local restaurant before returning to Zagreb.

Greca Tip: In Zagreb, you can try "stukli", a savory puff pastry stuffed with cheese.

You will have breakfast at the hotel, and then transfer to Zagreb airport.

After spending some fantastic days with Greca, we hope to see you again to enjoy some wonderful moments that will remain forever in your memory.

Bon voyage!, or as you say yourself, dobro putovanje!

Greca tip: The most common souvenirs include wines, spirits, oils and ties!, a Croatian invention.
