Ancient Greece holds a storied place in a traveler’s imagination. Layers of history, stacked by millennia, hold legends and traditions that shape life today. Whether you’re wandering among ruined temples, admiring their marble columns and perfect symmetry, or tracing the rocky coastline, picturing Odysseus sailing dazzling blue seas on his Aegean voyage, Greece is filled with sights and scenes to enchant modern-day seekers and explorers. We have chosen one of its most alluring regions to discover in depth, the Peloponnese Peninsula and mountain heights of Arcadia, where the classic heritage of Greece endures as it has for centuries. Exploring beyond the main tourist routes, find charming stone villages, stroll paths through fragrant forests and olive orchards, sip ouzo in a cozy taverna, meet silversmiths, winemakers and beekeepers, and share smiles with our local hosts who bring us into the rhythms of their daily lives.
