Greece will surprise you at every turn with its ancient monuments, incomparable sites, delicious food, and laid-back lifestyle — it's truly magical. But don't take our word for it. Here are just a few "wow" moments from recent Athens & the Heart of Greece tour alums.
"I expected the incredible ruins, but the scenery really surprised and delighted me! Loved the diversity of the landscape, from the beautiful mountain town of Lagkadia to the beautiful seaside towns of Kardmyli and Nafplio."

"Our boat trip to the island of Hydra was a 'wow' event: no cars, deliveries by donkey, and a great many beautiful well-fed cats wandering about. Wonderful views of the harbor."

"Seeing the Parthenon from the top of our hotel was as awe-inspiring as when one rounds the corner of the Trocadero for the first time and catches a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower. My heart filled with wonder at the stories that hill and that majestic building could tell."

"My favorite wow moment was having dinner in a family-owned restaurant that our guide set up just for our group. They made us feel like we were enjoying a family meal and provided live music and dancing."

"The Archeological Site of Delphi was so much more complex than I imagined — set in a stunning place on the side of a mountain, overlooking a verdant valley. At the upper stadium I heard a cuckoo bird!"

"Spending time in Gefyra and Monemvasia was such a treat. The views, the beach, the people were such a joy. The memories of floating in the sea with the Mediterranean sun warming my face will stay with me forever."
