Greece and Croatia Vacation Packages & Tours

Where to Go

• 

  Athens

  A unique blend of ancient history, modern culture, and youthful energy characterizes Athens: the Greek capital. Iconic landmarks such as the hilltop Acropolis, with the Parthenon, and the Erechtheion stand as a testament to ancient Greece’s enduring legacy, but this bustling metropolis is home to over 4 million people, filling crowded markets, lively cafes, and a cosmopolitan club scene rivaling that of Paris and Barcelona. Museums and galleries showcase Athens’ cultural heritage through the ages, while its tavernas highlight its delicious take on Mediterranean cuisine, enhanced by Greek wines and spirits. A sublime collection of islands are reachable within 2-hours, including Hydra and Aegina in the Saronic Islands and Kythnos in the Cyclades.

• 

  Mykonos

  With some of Europe’s best beaches lapped by those stunning Mediterranean azures and an old town animated by excellent nightlife, Mykonos is an ideal destination for a beach vacation. The iconic white-washed buildings of Chora make perfect backgrounds while exploring the cobbled streets, closed to traffic for most of the day, while the charming al fresco terraces of Little Venice make, not just a wonderfully pretty venue for a romantic dinner, but also a beautiful spot from which to watch the pinks and oranges of a Greek sunset light up the horizon.

• 

  Santorini

  Perhaps the most picturesque and instantly recognizable of the Greek islands, Santorini is sublime, its volcanic landscapes contrasting with beautiful white-washed buildings wearing blue Cycaldic hats, while fiery sunsets send glittery reflections across the azure Aegean surf. But these dramatic landscapes are no more incredible than in the caldera that forms a captivating bay on the west side of the island — and the only inhabited caldera in the world, but Santorini’s black and red sand beaches, Fira’s maze of charming alleys and narrow streets, and the inland vineyards make the entire island a pleasure to explore.

• 

  Dubrovnik

  A stunning ancient city painted across the southern shore of Croatia’s Adriatic, renowned for its mesmerizing medieval architecture, a picturesque walled Old Town, and its proximity to the charming hills and mountains of the Dalmatian countryside. A symphony of sights awaits, including the Baroque Rector’s Palace and Church of St. Blaise, and the ornate Dubrovnik Cathedral, though the beating heart of Dubrovnik’s old town is undoubtedly Stradun, the city’s attractive main street, lined with shops, cafes, and restaurants. Numerous beaches are short from the old town and boast clear waters and immersive views of the striking landscapes, but nearby Lokrum Island, a nature reserve, is ideal for anyone wanting to find something a little bit wilder.

• 

  Hvar

  A gorgeous and exceptionally sunny Adriatic island, indented with attractive coves, crystal-clear waters, and sandy beaches. Rugged landscapes scented by fields full of lavender stretch from Hvar Town on the west to petite Sućuraj on the east, while its world-renowned nightlife bursts from the old cobbled streets of Hvar Town, enhanced by the chic ambiance of waterside bars and the impressive yachts bobbing in the marina. Hvar’s coastline is fringed by picturesque coves and secluded beaches, giving way to picturesque fishing villages, rugged hiking trails leading through pine forests and vineyards planted with Plavac Mali and Pošip, and an abundance of scenic anchorages for anyone exploring Dalmatia by yacht.

• 

  Split

  Split’s Diocletian’s Palace is perhaps one of Croatia’s best-known landmarks, built in the 4th century, and one of the best-preserved examples of Roman architecture in the world. Explore its courtyards, chambers, and galleries via its worn marble-like streets, visiting local boutiques, brilliant restaurants serving exquisite Dalmatian cuisine, and intriguing museums. But don’t expect a palace, rather an old bustling heart of the town — home to some 3000 people. There are also ancient churches, modern galleries, and a raucous nightlife spread across the modern and historic quarters of the city, as well as the Riva, a waterfront promenade stretching along Split’s harbor with views of the nearby islands.
