A land of myths and legends, a cornucopia of 1,400 islands and idyllic beaches – Greece is a holiday destination that never ceases to surprise. Awe-inspiring Athens and historic Cyprus jostle for prominence with pretty Paxos and stunning Kefalonia.

From the ancient Kourion amphitheatre in Cyprus to the mighty Corinth canal; from the stunning scenery and fine mountains of remote Pelion to the fortified towns and beautiful beaches of the Peloponnese; from sailing the turquoise waters of the Ionian to walking the mule paths of Mani; from the magnificent Acropolis in Lindos to the charming fishing villages of Crete.

Whether you are looking for a relaxing beach holiday in a resort hotel or something off the beaten track, AITO operators offer an amazing array of options. Feast yourself on ancient treasures on an archaeology tour or city break of Athens or Delphi; discover Byzantine chapels and Minoan remains on a walking break of the southern Peloponnese; learn to sail in Lefkas; and cruise the islands of Attica on a traditional Greek Caique.

Greece is the ideal place in which to feast your passions as well as your mind.
