Itinerary
Day 1: Overnight Flight
Board your overnight flight to Athens, the cradle of Western Civilization and one of the oldest cities in the world. Pro tip: if you’re looking to earn some bonus points with the locals upon arrival, make sure you refer to Greece by its real name: Hellas.
Day 2: Arrive in Athens + Welcome Dinner
Welcome to Athens! 2,500 years ago, it was kind of a happening place, and still is today—with fewer people in togas walking around. It’s a vibrant metropolis, and a perfect jumping-off point for your journey through Greece. When the sun goes down, expect to see people socializing in the streets. It’s how they roll.
In the evening, enjoy a Welcome Dinner of local cuisine and drinks with fellow travelers at an authentic local spot. Afterwards, you’re free to take the party elsewhere!
- Meet an EF representative at the airport.
- Transfer to your accommodations and check in.
- Receive the latest schedule from your Tour Director.
- Meet your fellow travelers as they arrive.

I had a small group that were filled with a bunch of funny and kind folx. All were very respectful and down for whatever activities that were available. Plus the tour group leader and the VIEWS!! All amazing, GO!

I came into this trip quite shaken from some unfortunate circumstances in my personal life. Our guide, Kalli, was such a ray of light and so fun! She shared so many insights about life in Greece while we got to experience ancient sites in various cities! The trip was a nice mix...
