      • by DurationWith so much to see and do, planning a day of sightseeing in a new destination can quickly get overwhelming. We’re to help! Our fantastic itineraries are designed to help you dive right in and discover Greek culture — whether you have a full day to go on an archaeological tour beyond the city limits, a half day to tour the main sights, or just a few hours after in the afternoon to take in the highlights. Led by enthusiastic experts and curated to give you the best experience possible, our guided tours are guaranteed to make the most of your time in Greece. You can choose a full-day tour in Delphi or one of our half-day tours in Santorini, and if you’re looking for cultural tours in the capital, we offer a range of options in Athens and the surrounding area: half-day tours in the city center, full-day tours that take you further afield to the shores of the Aegean, and even tours that start later in the day and are perfect for business travelers and anyone wanting to enjoy cultural tourism after hours.

      • by LocationDedicated to cultural tourism and showcasing the best of what our country has to offer, Discover Greek Culture operates in three of the most popular places to visit in Greece: Athens, Delphi, and Santorini. Our carefully designed tours cover the must-see sights in the capital and the most significant historical places to visit in the surrounding area, as well as a range of key locations in central Greece and the Aegean island of Santorini. Departing from Athens, our Delphi tour will let you explore one of the top archaeological sites in the country—what is often referred to as the ‘spiritual center of classical Greece’. In Santorini, we offer tours that uniquely combine the island’s prehistoric heritage, Byzantine history, and contemporary culture. They include visits to some of the best sites on the island, as well as the chance to get a taste of real local culture. Our Athens tours are brimming with fantastic things to do and places to visit in the Greek capital, and include specially designed tours for families with young children. There are plenty of opportunities to see the main sites and to also take advantage of DGC’s exclusive arrangements, which provide our groups access to unique…

        • Tours in the PeloponneseA land of legends and heroes, pristine beaches, towering mountains and bountiful nature—it’s really nigh impossible to exaggerate the natural beauty and cultural wealth of the Peloponnese. It’s no coincidence that in 2016, Lonely Planet named the Peloponnese the best place to visit in Europe: magnificent, affordable, and steeped in history and culture. Archaeology enthusiasts are spoiled for choice with a range of top attractions that include the ancient palaces of Mycenae and Pylos, the Acropolis of Ancient Corinth, the Sanctuary of Olympia, and the famed Ancient Theater of Epidaurus. And there’s no shortage of medieval, Byzantine, and Venetian sites either: The island fort of Monemvasia and the historic seaside town of Nafplio, both fabulously elegant and steeped in history, and the fairytale castle-city of Mystra, perched high on the slopes Mount Taygetos, are calling to be explored. From its snow-capped mountains to the tropical waters and golden-sand beaches of Elafonisos, the Peloponnese is ideal for cultural tourism and also offers a wealth of fantastic options for nature lovers, active travelers, and anyone looking for fantastic gastro-tourism experiences. Its vast olive groves, citrus orchards and fertile valleys produce some of the best wines and olive oils in the world and…

Excavations Tour Experiences

In what is truly a first in the Greek cultural tourism industry, Discover Greek Culture has secured exclusive access to working archaeological excavations. For archaeology enthusiasts, Greek cultural tours don’t get better than this!

We’re very proud to present the first tour in our Excavations range, a unique guided tour that departs from Athens and visits an archaeological excavation site in Marathon, where you’ll get the chance to learn the basics of practical archaeology and excavation procedures with private mini-seminars from world-class archaeologists.

This is one of our best tours yet, and we’re working hard to expand our range with more locations and more hands-on archaeological experiences in the near future!

Bravo!
