Historical Tours in Greece
Lovers of history have long been drawn to Greece, home to some of the world’s oldest civilisations. Athens has been continuously inhabited for over 5,000 years and historical tours in Greece often start or end by exploring the capital. See this page for a great collection of historical tours of Greece for UK travellers.
Ancient Greek History Escorted Holidays
Athens boasts some of Classical Greece’s most famous splendours like the formidable citadel of the Acropolis, which looms over the city. On historical walking tours you can learn about iconic monuments like the Parthenon, a temple built for the goddess Athena in the 5th century BC. The Peloponnese peninsula also contains many ancient Greek sites such as those in Corinth or the extraordinary Epidaurus amphitheatre. Some of the best known ancient Greek sites are on Islands. The Ancient City of Kamiros is on Rhodes Island and The Minoan Palace of Knossos, connected to the myth of Daedalus and Icarus, is on the Island of Crete.
History Tours in Northern Greece
In northern Greece, visit the birthplace of Alexander the Great among the ruins of the ancient city of Pella. Museum tours can take you around the excellent, modern Archaeological Museum of Pella so you can see what life was like at the centre of one of the largest empires in history. Discoveries abound in this region, like the archaeological site of Mieza, where Aristotle taught a young Alexander.
Staying up north, the modern city of Thessaloniki may sound familiar. It’s where the Salonika Campaign of WW1 took place, in which 200,000 British troops saw action. War tours can take you around battlefield sites and to the War Museum of Thessaloniki.
The country has so much to offer and you may be interested in the many kinds of tours we have in Greece.
Small Group History Holidays
Small group historical tours are great for exploring smaller towns like the labyrinthine, historic harbour town of Nafplio on the southern Peloponnese peninsula, where you can visit a Venetian fortress and learn about the influence the Byzantines, Franks, Ottomans and more had on this region.
If you’re interested in historical tours in other countries, take a look at Tourfind’s escorted history group holidays to Italy, some of which will suit luxury travellers, and plenty that will suit travellers on a budget.
