About Greece

With Greece now open to US travelers, consider this awesome Greek Getaway.

On April 19th, Greece opened up its borders to travellers from the US who can provide proof of vaccination, or proof of a negative COVID test at least 14 days prior to arrival. Keep in mind you also need a negative COVID test in order to return back to the US, whether or not you are vaccinated. However, this means that your travel destinations list just got a little longer! And with Greece being one of the top destinations of all time, this is perfect timing for your summer getaway.

For a taste of what you can experience in Greece, check out the National Geographic Greece: Ancient Ruins and Iconic Islands experience, powered by G Adventures, which you can book hassle-free directly through us at travelsbydonna@knology.net

Step back in time on a journey to Greece, where iconic ruins bring ancient history to life. Explore the awe-inspiring monuments of Athens and the stunning Cyclades islands; and run and jump in the footsteps of ancient Greek athletes at the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Then venture to the olive-covered hills and rugged coasts of the Peloponnese, where some of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey played out; and savour the delightfully fresh flavours of Greek cuisine.

  • Tour Athens via bike at sunset
  • Journey to Delphi to see the Temple of Apollo
  • Visit the National Gardens of Greece
  • Discover the artifacts at the Archaeological Museum of Delphi
  • Explore the ancient temples of the Acropolis
