Greece for Seniors

Trips on this page start from 2,500 euros per person, and where it lands depends on the season, the hotels and how much is handled for you. Our guide to what a trip to Greece costs breaks the number down. Every quote is itemised rather than sold as a package.

Not unless you want to be. Your own guide, your own driver, your own pace, which mostly means stopping when you feel like it and leaving when you have seen enough. Some of our trips do run as small groups and cost less. Your quote names which one you are getting.

Neither. No upper age limit and no activity rating to qualify for, because the days are built around you rather than around a departure that has already been planned. Set senior tours grade themselves from easy going to fast, and some carry age rules. Yours is simply what you can manage.

Yes. There is a lift up the rock that takes two wheelchairs and two companions at a time, a golf cart that brings you to it, and a paved route running past the Propylaea to the Parthenon. We book the time, meet you at the right entrance and keep it unhurried.

Tell us at the enquiry and we plan around it. Vehicles with the right access, sites chosen for what is genuinely reachable, and a guide who knows which entrance to use rather than discovering the steps with you. It changes the itinerary, which is the point of having one made for you.

We check before we book. Whether the hotel has a lift, how many steps sit between the door and reception, and where the room is are all confirmed in advance, and we ask for a step free room. In old towns this is the difference between a good week and a hard one.

As much or as little as you say, and usually two or three bases across ten to fourteen days rather than five. Fewer moves means fewer packed suitcases and fewer early starts. The mistake we see most often is a trip built to tick off islands instead of to enjoy them.

Ferry when the crossing is short, a flight when the sea route would swallow a day. Someone meets you at the port and takes the bags, we book seats inside rather than on deck, and we avoid sailings that leave before breakfast unless the route leaves us no choice.

Yes to both. Dietary requests go to the hotels and restaurants in advance, and if medication has to be taken at a set hour we build the day around it rather than around the sights. Tell us at the planning stage and none of it becomes your problem on the road.

You call us, at any hour. Someone from our Athens office is reachable 24/7 and can find an English speaking doctor, talk to the hotel and move whatever needs moving. While planning we also tell you which islands on your route have a hospital and which have only a clinic.

We strongly recommend it, and for this trip we would not travel without it. Look for cover that includes medical care abroad, cancellation, delays and any pre existing conditions, which is the clause that most policies quietly exclude. Buy it when you book rather than the week before you fly.

A deposit confirms the trip and the balance is settled well before you travel, with the exact figures and dates set out in our terms of use. Everything is quoted per person in euros, so you know what your bank is converting, and nothing is charged after you get home.
