Aegean Adventure

Greece contains multitudes, and eight days on the Aegean Adventure gives your group a genuine taste of both its ancient foundations and its island-hopping present. The tour opens in Athens, where the city spreads out below the Acropolis like a living textbook of Western civilization. Those first two days on the ground set the historical and cultural context before the tour shifts dramatically on Day 3, when your group boards a cruise ship and trades the marble-paved streets of Athens for the blue expanse of the Aegean Sea.

Overall

“We had a FANTASTIC experience with Passports this year! From the beginning, in the planning stages, the difference between Passports and EF was clear, and that difference bore out over the course of the trip. We are so thankful we found you guys and really felt that the whole experience was better than what we've had with EF.”
