Posted on by Kenneth Reece, Agent of Modern Travel Professionals

If you’ve been dreaming of seeing the Acropolis up close, strolling through ancient Olympia, or wandering the charming streets of Delphi… here’s your sign that now is the time to start planning.

The Greek Escape by Globus offers a 7-day adventure from Athens to Athens that’s packed with history, culture, and authentic experiences—at prices that will make you do a double take.

🌿 Why travel outside “tourist” season?
Visiting Greece in winter or early spring means fewer crowds, milder weather, and incredible value for your travel dollar. You’ll get the same expertly guided sightseeing, hand-picked hotels, and unforgettable moments—without the peak season prices or long lines at major attractions.

Greece: A Bucket List Classic

Greece is one of those magical places that captures travelers’ imaginations long before they set foot on its shores. For many, it’s the combination of ancient history, striking landscapes, and a culture steeped in tradition that makes it irresistible. It’s standing where philosophers debated over 2,000 years ago, watching the Aegean Sea sparkle in the afternoon sun, and tasting food so fresh and flavorful it feels like a revelation.

It’s also the variety—one day you’re walking among ruins that have stood since 776 BC, and the next you’re sitting at a café in a picturesque fishing village, feeling like you’ve stepped straight into a postcard. This blend of history, beauty, and warm hospitality is why Greece consistently ranks among the world’s most desired travel destinations.

What This Tour Holds for You

The Greek Escape itinerary was designed to give travelers the highlights of Greece in just one week—without feeling rushed. You’ll begin in Athens with a guided tour of iconic landmarks, including Syntagma Square, the Temple of Zeus, the Panathenaic Stadium, and of course, the Acropolis. From there, you’ll venture to Corinth, Mycenae, and Epidaurus to explore UNESCO World Heritage sites and marvel at their ancient architecture.

In Olympia, you’ll walk in the footsteps of athletes from the first Olympic Games and join a hands-on Greek cooking demonstration, learning to make tzatziki. In Delphi, you’ll discover the legendary home of the Oracle before enjoying a lively sirtaki dance lesson (paired with a glass of ouzo, naturally). Each destination includes time to explore on your own, so you can shop, dine, or simply soak in the atmosphere at your own pace.

Hi, I’m Kenneth Reece — and I help make unforgettable vacations feel effortless. With 50 cruises under my belt (and more in the works!), I specialize in bucket-list travel experiences for grown-up travelers who want something a little more meaningful, a little more personal, and a lot more fun. Whether you're cruising the blue waters of the Caribbean, exploring the stunning coastlines of Alaska, or soaking in the magic of Europe one cobblestone street at a time — I’m here to help you plan a trip you’ll always remember. Lately, river cruising has completely captured my heart. There’s just something special about waking up each morning in a new European town, with your floating boutique hotel waiting to take you to the next charming stop. I love pairing these river cruises with guided land tours for a perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxation. Princess Cruises has long been one of my favorites at sea, but I’ve sailed with many cruise lines and know how to match each client with the right one for them. I’ve also experienced the Disney magic around the world — from Disneyland and Walt Disney World to Tokyo and Paris — and I bring that same sense of wonder and thoughtful planning into everything I do. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, traveling solo, or just need help making sense of all the choices out there, I’m here to be your guide. I love helping clients as much — or as little — as they prefer. From the first conversation to the moment you return home, you’ll know someone has your back. Let’s make your next trip easy, exciting, and completely tailored to you.
