What's this trip about?

    Mythology, History, Mediterranean art, generous sun … Absolutely Greek is the perfect  tour in Greece that offers the perfect cocktail for a successful holiday! This package provides the ideal opportunity to experience vastly diverse aspects of Greece. The cosmopolitan city of Athens, the more traditional parts of the mainland and of course the Greek islands. Start your journey from Athens, where ancient ruins lie next to contemporary buildings and stand in awe at marvelous coming together of two eras that are millennia apart. Heave your anchors for a mini cruise to the picturesque islands of Hydra, Poros and Aegina where you will traverse the local trails leading to secluded sandy beaches. Travel through mainland’s vivid natural environment sprinkled with graphic villages which encompass true Greek hospitality. Immerse yourself in the rich history, including Epidaurus, Mycenae and the Sanctuary of Olympian Zeus. Finally, you will bear witness to one of the world’s most unique geological formations when you visit Meteora, where you can see monasteries hanging on for dear life on the cliff sides raising up from the valley. Make the smart choice and book now!

View Profile

The idea of Eskapas which means "Let's escape in Esperanto" , was born in 2000 to organize fully guided tours in Greece and Turkey for solo , couple and family travelers , to experience a genuine Mediterranean experience; a combination of ideas, feelings, imageries, cultures, ways of life cultivated for centuries in this “sea amongst lands” as a Mediterranean Specialist. Later, we expanded our operations to Italy, Spain and all around Mediterranean countries.

At Eskapas each employee is a natural-born traveler. That means we know every aspect of guided tours to organize all the details as it is a part of our DNA's.

Our tours are guaranteed departure. That means, there is no minimum number of bookings required on a trip for it to run. So, if you book an Eskapas trip that is a guaranteed departure, you’ll definitely be heading off on the trip of a lifetime.

Eskapas is always guided by a strong set of values, our primary approach to all our actions and decisions is always with a sense of responsibility. Sustainability has therefore been incredibly important to us since our foundation date. For us, sustainable entrepreneurship and profitable growth go hand in hand; we can only ensure our own future success by also creating lasting added value for society.

These are the initiatives that this operator has in place to make your adventure more sustainable:

Supporting Destinations and Local Communities
- Hires local guides
- Brings our passengers to locally run restaurants & businesses

Animal Welfare
- Does not offer any tours that include elephant riding
- Does not offer any tours that use animals for entertainment
- We avoid places that sell/eat parts of endangered animals on tour

Accommodation

Company Culture
- We are a paper free company

Why we love this operator
They introduce their travelers to real locals through their selection of guides and off-the-beaten-path restaurants and attractions.
What they’re known for
A real understanding and passion for a wide variety of Mediterranean destinations.
