Itinerary

Day 1

Departing from Athens, we travel west along the stunning coastline to the Corinth Canal, a marvel of engineering offering breathtaking views (short stop). This canal connects the western Mediterranean to the eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea, playing a vital role in international sea transport.

We continue along the coastal road of the Saronic Gulf to visit Epidaurus, home to the famous ancient theater. Renowned for its exceptional acoustics, the theater allowed 12,000 spectators to hear unamplified voices from the stage.

Next, we head to Nauplia, Greece's first capital in 1829 (short stop), before continuing to Mycenae, the legendary kingdom of Agamemnon. This palatial center of the Late Bronze Age, described by Homer as "rich in gold," represents one of the greatest civilizations of Greek prehistory, the Mycenaean civilization.

In the afternoon, we journey to Olympia. Enjoy dinner and an overnight stay at the hotel.

Day 2

Start the day exploring Olympia, the most celebrated sanctuary of ancient Greece, dedicated to Zeus. This lush site, nestled near Mount Kronios, was the birthplace of the Olympic Games, a prestigious festival held every four years. Visit the archaeological site and museum to uncover its rich history.

Our journey continues via Patras to the Rion-Antirion Bridge, a modern engineering marvel and the longest suspended bridge in Europe. Drive through the charming coastal town of Nafpaktos, and then on to Delphi. Dinner and an overnight stay at the hotel.

Day 3

Discover the ancient sanctuary of Delphi, situated at the foot of Mount Parnassos amidst stunning natural scenery. Once regarded as the center of the world, Delphi was home to the famous Oracle and the Pythian Games, second only to the Olympics.

Visit the archaeological site and museum, where highlights include the bronze Charioteer of Delphi, a masterpiece of ancient Greek art.

After exploring Delphi, depart for Kalambaka, the gateway to Meteora. Dinner and an overnight stay at the hotel.

Day 4

Experience the awe-inspiring Meteora Monasteries, an iconic site perched atop towering rock formations. These "suspended in air" monasteries were once accessible only by nets and wooden ladders. Built by monks in the 14th century, they are a testament to human ingenuity and devotion.

Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Meteora monasteries are a unique cultural phenomenon. After a visit, return to Athens, bringing an unforgettable journey through Greece’s ancient heritage to a close.

Me and my Girlfriend took a trip to Greece with Antelope Travel and it was nothing short of perfect. Their driver and staff were super helpful, polite, and warm. We gave them a few ideas and they turned it into an amazing itinerary that was both packed with fun things to do and good recommendations and flexibility to allow us to discover our destinations in Greece to the fullest. We highly recommend their services and we will be going back to them for our next Greece vacation!

Fabulous trip and attention to detail!

Anthony Alagiah with Antelope Travel planned the perfect family trip for us in June 2023. Anthony was a pleasure to work with, he communicated in detail and was very responsive to any questions I had and even stayed in touch while we were in Greece.
This was our first visit to Greece and he patiently guided me during the planning process and planned perfect itineraries for Athens, the islands and the mainland so we could experience a variety of different parts of Greece. Keeping three teenage boys engaged and interested isn't always easy but all of Anthony's tours, tour guides and activities worked perfectly for all of us!
We had many air, land and sea transfers and Anthony's planning and his partners ensured that everything went smoothly for us.
We were referred to Anthony from friends and I highly recommend him! I have now referred other friends to him, as thanks to his expertise, we had a fantastic family trip to Greece.

Amazing Travel Agency

Anthony and his team did an amazing job organizing our eight day trip to Mykonos and Santorini. They chose two excellent hotels that met our budget, and booked car transport and inter-island ferries for us. He also gave a bunch of great restaurant recommendations and was able to help us book a few last-minute items, including a wine tour! He also had local representatives on each island who we were able to call with random specific asks (e.g., last minute club reservations on Mykonos).

The only thing we'd change is that we wish we had been able to spend even MORE time in Greece! In fact, we're already hoping to take another trip next year, and if we do we'll definitely be using Anthony and team again!

Having worked with other travel agents in other regions who do not do nearly as good a job, we can honestly say we are really happy with our Antelope experience!

Detail Details Details

We worked with Anastasia at Antelope travel, who was amazing. She arranged a four hour tour in Athens and then 3 nights in Mykonos and 3 nights in Santorini. It was a truly amazing trip. All the guides hired by the travel agency (Athens and Delos day trip) were knowledgeable and friendly. The transfers and transportation was timely and efficient. The hotel in Mykonos (Myconian Imperial) was a real treasure.....we loved it. I rarely work with travel agents because I think I can do it on my own, but this trip was truly marvelous because of Anastasia's efforts. We want to thank her for all her help!!

Incredible Trip!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Anthony & his entire team from the very start of our planning our vacation to Greece all the way through of traveling back home to Chicago. Anthony & his team ensured our entire trip was seamless. We started in Athens for 24 hours, then to Mykonos for 4 days and then Santorini for 4 days. The planning & attention to detail made the whole trip one of the best travel experiences of our life. Anthony & his team were referred to us by a couple of other friends who had also worked with them for their vacations to Greece over the past few years & we will continue referring Anthony to anyone we know who is traveling to Greece because of our incredible experience!
