Seven days in Greece is just enough time to cover a few of the country's highlights, whether you're looking for a relaxing island escape, to explore ancient ruins, or for a taste of the Greek culture and way of life. You can hit the most famous spots like Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini, or have a slower-paced trip and immerse yourself in local culture in Crete. If you're looking for something a little more active and to get off-the-beaten-path, an adventure in the Peloponnese or sailing and hiking in the Dodecanese should do the trick. History buffs can experience a mix of the ancient world and island life, or explore ruins and monasteries on the mainland.

Want to explore the best that Greece has to offer? Get started by describing your ideal trip, and we'll connect you with a local specialist to plan out the details.

We had an amazing time on our trip to Greece and still think about it often to this day. Everything was planned perfectly and we had little to worry or think about besides enjoying our time. All transportation was seamless and the hotels were excellent. Sienna did an absolute amazing job based on my initial guidance and we made very small changes to her first itinerary. 6/5 stars!

Only comments we have just to assist future travelers:
1. The travel from the ferry to the hotel in Sifnos is very short and probably does not require a car.
2. It is recommended to tip 10% on all tours, but with everything being booked through KimKim we had no idea what 10% was. Maybe just include a note for recommended amount on each tour/excursion?
