Deciding
what to do and where to go in Greece is not always
easy. There are several hundred Greek islands to choose
from and thousands of hotels.
I have created my
websites to help people make informed decisions
and plan their trip to Greece. But even after using them people ask what they
should do. So I have created itineraries of what I
would do if I was a tourist in Greece. In fact many of these
itineraries were easy for me to put together
because I had already done them. So if using my
websites has made you more confused then you were
before just choose one of these trips. They don't
have to be followed to the letter either. You can
work with the agency that offers these itineraries
to customize it to fit your taste and
time-frame. You may also want to check www.greektravel.com/suggestionsfor more ideas on creating the perfect holiday to Greece.

Sifnos-Santorini:
This is the
perfect combination of the quiet (but not
too quiet) and traditional (but not too
traditional) island of Sifnos with the
well-visited and pretty wild but
thoroughly spectacular island of
Santorini. |
|
Poros-Hydra-Santorini:
The trip for
people who want to stay in Athens as
little as possible but still see the
sites. What makes this itinerary special
is that you stay on the island of Poros,
an hour from Athens and close enough to go
into town for the day see everything and
be back in time for a swim before dinner.
You can also see the Saronic Islands, the
Argolis Penisula (Myceneae, Nafplio,
Epidavros) and then one bright morning
take the fast boat to Pireaus to catch the
ferry to Santorini and by sunset you are
sitting on the rim of the volcano having a
drink and enjoying the view. You can add
other islands too if you like. In Poros
you will be staying with my friends Takis
and Zefi at the Saga Hotel. |

Sifnos-Lesvos
: This is the trip that combines my
two favorite islands in Greece. The island
of Sifnos in the Cyclades and Lesvos in
the Northern Aegean are completely
different and still authentically Greek.
Both islands are famous for their cooking,
hospitality and beaches. In fact this
itinerary has you staying at two of the
best beaches in Greece, Plati Yialos in
Sifnos and Vatera in Lesvos.
These are trips for couples, families
and small groups of friends. In other
words you are not part of a tour.
However if you are interested they can
be used as itineraries for tours if
you are a travel agent or someone
putting a trip together for a larger
group and of course the per-person
price will be cheaper the more people
you travel with.

Joyce Helfand

and Nanda Kontopoulos-a Greek archaeologist
create, coordinate and escort each tour which are
eduactional and
fun.
Sporades
Tours: Dick Caldwell is a legend. A
reknown professor of mythology at Stanford,
translator of Hesiod's Theogony and an the world's
#1 expert on the psychology of Mythology, he has
been leading his tours for the last several years.
If you are expecting a purely academic
and cerebral tour, well, let me put it this
way: The Dick Caldwell legend has as much to do
with his ability to drink some of the best minds
under the table in the course of leading them
through all night discussions as it has to do with
anything he has writtrn. We are too late for
Socrates but we still have Dick. People who go on
his tours come back changed. More alive. (Those
who survive). If these tours are for you, you will
know it from this description.
