Tour Itinerary
Famous for creating the Olympic Games, inventing theatrical arts, and founding democracy, the industrious and innovative Greeks have also been known to vote for the art of doing nothing at all. On this tour of historic Athens, coastal Turkey, and the sun-baked Greek Isles, you’ll witness the feats of great architects, cross the same finish lines as legendary athletes, walk in the footsteps of famous philosophers, and then completely clear your mind on a relaxing 3-night Aegean Sea cruise. Lounge, laze, and learn the national sirtaki dance as you set sail for the most intriguing Greek islands, from the jet-set-approved Mykonos to the pilgrimage popular Patmos to wonder-filled Crete, the cradle of Minoan civilization. Ruins, resorts, rich history, and total relaxation are all on the itinerary on this breezy land and cruise tour of Greece.

Health and Safety Protocols for Globus Tours
The world is waiting to be rediscovered! And Globus helps you reunite with your favorite destinations through our ongoing commitment to travel with the ease and confidence travelers have come to expect on tour with us. No matter where you travel, our global network of travel experts has you ready to reconnect.
And along the way, we’re step-for step with you to remove the worries and hassles that might make aspiring globetrotters hesitate when taking that first step in discovering dream destinations once again. With exceptional health and safety protocols and on-trip contingency plans for unexpected surprises, Globus travelers see more of the world with more peace of mind.
A SAFE & WARM WELCOMEGlobus will conduct tour check-in procedures and pre-trip health screenings to offer guests a safe start and peace of mind throughout the journey. This includes proof of vaccination for all guests.
BLENDING CULTURAL PROXIMITY WITH SOCIAL DISTANCEThere may be times on tour or on the motorcoach when social distancing is required. We will take care in assuring any local guidelines are followed in a safe and comfortable way for our guests. For any cases where masks are required due to local guidelines, we ask that guests bring their own approved N95 (FFP2) masks for their own comfort and safety. Our wireless listening technology enables safe distances between our guests and other travelers during excursions.
FOCUS ON GUEST AND TEAM MEMBER HEALTHTo ensure a healthy environment for each of our guests and our team, our Tour Directors, Local Hosts, and motorcoach drivers are fully vaccinated, and Globus is also requiring that all travelers are fully vaccinated before joining the trips. Additionally, regular guest checks are conducted, and, when required by local guidelines, masks will be worn by our guests and by our team when accompanying guests. In all other cases, masks are optional for guests.
TOUCHING HEARTS, NOT HANDSTraveling with Globus removes many of the “touch points” of travel, including luggage handling, check in/out, expedited entry into attractions and more. Globus are further reducing risk with hands-free service, meaning all self-services replaced by staff, including buffet meals replaced with table service. Globus will also ensure hand sanitizing is available throughout each trip, on coach and in hotels.
COMMITMENT TO CLEANAs a part of Globus' commitment to clean, Globus is requiring enhanced cleaning procedures with hotel partners, on motorcoaches, vehicles and throughout every trip, including additional daily disinfecting procedures that go above-and-beyond already strict health and safety procedures.
PARTNERS IN DISCOVERY AND IN HEALTHGlobus has strict health and safety protocols, which have been in place for years, focused on ensuring all aspects of operation- from vehicles and equipment used on trip to excursions and hotel procedures. This process will continue with new, elevated health and safety checks, to maintain their promise that each touch-point on tours and cruises are considered in their commitment to guest and team member well-being.

Question: Do I have to pay for the trip all at once? Can you assist with airfare?
Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
Communications was inadequate. Because we were two individuals and not a couple. All communication went to one party only. Too many separate tour guides requiring much more in tips than I had budgeted. Other tours had one tour guide only. Hotel in Athens not in good area. Too remote from shopping attractions etc.
This was my fifth Globus vacation! I loved numbers 1-4. I took the Italian Mosaic just before the Iconic Aegean. The Italian Mosaic was spectacular! The tour director and every tour participant made the trip, as did the destination. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the Iconic Aegean. The destinations were fabulous! I feel that Globus let us down. Let me explain. The tour started with a drink only, after a 30 minute meeting with Beverly. She was leaving to take a different group to dinner, so the 10 of us that just met were left on our own. The next day, we had a local guide on a bus. There were two people from a different hotel, and a group of about 20 from a third hotel. We were all put together for the day to explore Athens and then to go to a dinner show that night. The groups never had a chance to introduce ourselves or even mingle. The next day, Beverly was back and she "directed us" throughout the cruise, as I would expect of a Globus tour. However, our little group of ten was put with yet another group of travelers, a group of 18 that had just spent the past week together traveling throughout Greece. So, they knew each other, had gelled as a group, and didn't really get a chance to meet the ten of us. Even though we met with Beverly in the same location before each tour, it took 3 out of the 4 days on the boat for us to mingle. That is not Beverly's fault. The boat was big and we were busy! As a single traveler, I am grateful to my new friends from Australia that stuck with me from Day 1, or I would have been a very lonely tourist! At the end of the tour, the only people that exchanged emails and pictures with me, was my new friends from Down Under. The "other group" had an email list that they shared only between them, and I assume that list was generated before they came on the cruise portion of their vacation. This is not what I expect of a Globus trip! I expect to meet a group of travelers and spend the vacation together. If that is not the intent of Globus, then it should be advertised as such!
Exceeded expectations in most all categories. The excursion content and tour guides and director were exceptional and delivered with excellent communications and congenitality. The ship's food and beverage selection and quality were very good . The Globus pre-trip excursion site was inadequate and not of any value.
We had a great experience. Was a wonderful trip and the tour Director from Globus went above and beyond to make our vacation very special. We received VIP treatment at all times.
Entire ship needs updating! I would not recommend this tour to anyone! Food and entertainment was Lacking. Not enough time on some islands. Excursions extremely overpriced for what you get! Very disappointed with this trip
We had the best tour guide and a wonderful experience overall
