The Parthenon, Athens

Relive the legends of Homer and the tragedies of Sophokles; walk in the footsteps of Pausanias and wonder at the glory of the works of Praxiteles and Phidias; enjoy the breathtaking scenery as we travel through olive clad mountains and fertile plains where you half expect to glimpse Herakles on one of his labours.

Our unique tours offer a chance to see all the major archaeological sites of ancient & classical Greece as well as taking you off the beaten track to less visited but fascinating places. In just a week we journey through over 3,000 years of Greek history, from Mycenaean to Byzantine, as well as enjoying the vibrancy of modern Greece.

We will make our first Damaris visit to Bronze Age Crete from 20th to 27th April 2010 (now fully booked)
