Note: This tour as with all our tours takes your safety seriously, this is why all travel in Greece will be onboard a professionally operated commercial vehicle and not a hire car with a member of the tour, or a tour manager driving. This is because we have taken legal advice and whilst there's no definitive legal answer that covers the world, it's clear that if there's an incident, your personal travel insurance validity will be put into question.

All flight departure and arrival times are correct at the time of preparing this itinerary; however, it is worth noting that many airlines may change their flight times with limited warning.
