In many parts of Greece, shops and businesses close for a few hours in the early afternoon. Collette tours are thoughtfully planned around this local tradition, so it becomes part of your day instead of an inconvenience.
Many of Greece’s most iconic sites have uneven paths, stone steps, and hills. Collette tours are designed with clear activity levels, so you know what to expect and can choose a tour that lets you explore comfortably.
Greece enjoys a Mediterranean climate. Coastal areas and islands often have cooling sea breezes, whilst inland regions are usually warmer. Collette schedules departures across multiple seasons, so you can choose the best dates for your travel style.

Tour manager was the best. This was my fifth tour with Collette and this was the best. Of course it was hard not to love Greece, its beauty, the food, and of course the people. Amanda Phillip’s went above and beyond throughout the entire tour. She is knowledgeable, funny, kind, knows everyone in the hotels, restaurants and shops. Gave great recommendations for where to go and or eat during free time. She helped people with the WhatsApp and some with their tour extension information. She created an atmosphere of respect and kindness which made the entire group of 39 diverse people became one big happy family. Only down side was the location of the final day. Hotel was located in the middle of no where and the buffet dinner was awful. Would have been better if the hotel was closed to attractions we were left with a wasted day. Providing a shuttle into the city may have helped. I also think that Collette should call you to walk through the air flights. Some people are willing to pay more for direct flights but are not given options.

We enjoyed everything about this trip from touring Athens and the Parthenon, to Meteora, and seeing the incredible monasteries built on top of the mountains, to Mykonos, and it’s shopping, and Santorini and the beautiful buildings. It was a fantastic tour.

Good tour and great tour manager. The tour managers really make the trip. Have had excellent tour managers on all my Colette trips. They point out adventures to seek out on your own when you have free time and recommendations for restaurants and add value to the trip.

Tour guide was excellent. Attended to all needs and requests. Extremely knowledgeable of Greek history and provided information prior to visiting sites which made experience more meaningful. His excitement and genuine interest in providing a great experience was greatly appreciated.

Tour manager provided his valuable expertise and knowledge of the area. He was supportive, communicative and accessible. All accommodations were top notch except for Athens Hotel, Titania. However the Titania provided a wonderful roof top bar with a view of the amazing vista of the city, especially the Acropolis. The Titania was clean however rooms were very small, elevator could not keep up with the numbers. Breakfast was hectic. Optional Sunset cruise did not provide the sunset on the water but at a restaurant. Sharing that in the description would have been clearer. Collette is an excellent tour company to travel with. I felt safe and informed! Will definitely travel with Collette in the future.

Petros was a wonderful tour guide!! He provided us interesting historical information for the sites we visited and passed along the way. Everything was taken care of including hotel room set ups and ferry and plane tickets. The meals included were top notch especially the final one with awesome Greek music and dancers!! Petros has a wonderful personality and made sure no one was left behind. I couldn’t have asked for more! Everywhere we went from Athens to Mykonos to Santorini was breathtaking!! I would definitely recommend!

Meteora was probably my very favorite. I also really enjoyed Santorini and the El Greco Hotel. The spiritual places of Footsteps of Paul were very meaningful and life-changing.

This tour great! Our tour guide did a wonderful job of guiding us through the various locations and the sending us off to explore on our own. For us the highlight was spending my husband’s birthday on Santorini. It had always been a dream of his. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate and our cruise around the caldera was canceled but Apostolos, our tour guide had several dining suggestions and gave us enough confidence to take the local bus to one of the highest villages on the island where we went exploring on our own. On Mykonos, the tours to the artisanal cheesemaker and the winery were educational and delicious! Everyone came home with olive oil made by the cheesemaker!

We loved our tour of Greece! We saw and learned so much. Beautiful scenery. And wondering food. Our tour manager Savvas was fantastic. Each tour guide we had was also very informative and enthusiastic to share their knowledge of their country. Learned more from these tour guides and Savvas than we would have on our own. The group of people we toured with were great too. Highly recommend this tour.

Discover the magnificent ruins of ancient Greece and bask in the brilliance of the Mediterranean.
View 15-Day ItineraryCollette’s Greece tours typically include strategically located hotels, many meals featuring regional cuisine, expert local guides, transport between destinations, and the services of a professional Tour Manager. Many tours include immersive experiences such as cooking classes, winery visits, and farm tours with demonstrations. Specific inclusions vary by tour.
The most popular times to travel to Greece are spring (April–June) and fall (September–October), when temperatures are comfortable and crowds are lighter — especially on the mainland. Summer is ideal for island tours, with warm weather and cooling sea breezes, but expect crowds in places like Mykonos, Santorini, Naxos, and Crete. Collette offers departures across multiple seasons to match different travel styles and comfort preferences.
Most Collette Greece tours involve regular walking, uneven surfaces, and stairs — particularly at archaeological sites. Collette tours are thoughtfully paced with built-in breaks and free time, but Greece is best enjoyed by travellers who are comfortable being on their feet for parts of the day. Check the activity levels on each tour to pick one that is right for you.
Australian passport holders do not currently need a visa for short tourist stays in Greece. Passports must be valid for at least six months beyond the travel dates. Entry requirements can change, so Collette provides updated travel documentation guidance closer to departure and recommends travellers review official government travel sites for the most current information.
Credit cards are widely accepted in Greece, especially in hotels, restaurants, and shops in cities and tourist areas. It’s a good idea to carry some cash for smaller purchases, local cafés, or markets — particularly in villages or on smaller islands. ATMs are common, and Collette Tour Managers can help advise on day-to-day needs whilst on tour.
Greek cuisine emphasises fresh ingredients, olive oil, vegetables, seafood, and regional specialties. On Collette tours, travellers enjoy a mix of included meals — from traditional tavernas to farm-to-table experiences — along with free time to explore on their own. Many tours feature culinary experiences such as cooking classes, olive oil tastings, winery visits, and opportunities to sample local dishes unique to each region.
Transport between destinations is arranged by Collette to be part of the experience and may include private coaches, ferries between islands, a day cruise, or short flights within Greece, depending on the tour. These logistics are planned in advance to reduce stress and ensure smooth transitions, allowing travellers to focus on the experience rather than navigating on their own.
Yes. Greece is a popular choice for first-time guided tour travellers because it combines iconic sights with manageable travel distances and a welcoming culture. Collette’s expert planning, local guides, and clear activity-level expectations help travellers feel confident, supported, and well cared for throughout the journey.
Comfortable walking shoes are essential, as many historic sites involve stone paths, steps, and uneven ground. Lightweight layers are recommended for changing temperatures, along with sun protection for warmer months. Modest attire is required for visits to certain religious sites, such as monasteries, where covered shoulders and longer bottoms may be expected. Collette provides detailed packing suggestions prior to departure.
English is commonly spoken in tourist areas, hotels, and restaurants throughout Greece. On Collette tours, you’ll be accompanied by English-speaking Tour Managers and local guides, making communication easy whilst still allowing you to engage with local culture.
From handpicked hotels, restaurants, and cultural experiences to thoughtfully integrated free time, our on-the-ground team in Greece crafts journeys they'd want to take themselves.
Travellers always tell us that Tour Managers make the journey. It's like travelling with a friend who's got the inside scoop. They live in the destination and share hidden gems that only the locals know.
Uncover the Balkans, a region rich in history and culture amid the beauty of rocky coastlines, steep landscapes, and ancient cities.
