| Have you thought you would
like to explore the wonders of ancient Greece but been
put off by the amount of organisation involved in touring
a foreign country? Do you shy away from the idea of being 'herded' on a package holiday? Do you holiday alone, but like the idea of the company of like-minded people? Do you want a holiday that combines activity and relaxation? 'A Journey through Ancient Greece' could be the answer for you! These privately organised tours were started in 1974 by Damaris Falconar, a Classics teacher in Bristol, and are now run twice a year by her daughters Jane Maw Cornish and Mary Kehoe who accompany the trips. |

| These are holidays with a
difference: the lightly packaged tour for the
independently minded! At the sites and in the museums you are free to explore at your own pace; to examine every stone, to sit and sketch - or just sit! |

We stay in the centre of
the towns which means that we are often within walking
distance of the sites and museums so you can choose when
you go and how long you stay, and we are always close to
shops and restaurants. The hotels we stay in are Greek,
often family owned; they are 'B' class (roughly 3 star). We usually have a picnic or snack lunch (maybe on the site under an olive tree) and in the evening eat in one of the many excellent local 'tavernas' where a good meal with local wine costs between £7 & £15. (You can be as sociable as you want, you don't have to join a group, but likewise you need never be alone if you don't want to be.) Greece in September/October and May/June is not too crowded. and can be pleasantly warm and sunny; we usually eat outdoors and often manage a swim. |
