Pre- or post-trip extensions

On this adventure, you have the following extensions to choose from:

Northern Greece: Thessaloniki & the Monasteries of Meteora

4 nights Pre-trip

Journey to the Macedonia region of Northern Greece—the land of Alexander the Great—and discover the thriving city of Thessaloniki. Then, venture to Meteora to witness soaring monasteries perched atop towering rock formations.

Crete’s Ancient Minoan Past: Chania & Heraklion

5 nights Post-trip

Explore Crete, Greece’s largest and most storied island, where the ancient Minoan civilization once flourished. In Heraklion, explore the remnants of this Bronze Age culture before heading west to charming Chania.

Here's why 47% of travelers take these extensions:

  • You’ll maximize your discoveries—often in an even smaller group (average of 10 with a dedicated Trip Experience Leader) than your main adventure—and enhance your value by lowering your per-day costs because you’re taking advantage of your already included international airfare.
  • Our extensions include all accommodations, daily breakfasts, airport transfers, and other features.
  • This is a great opportunity to join your fellow travelers early or spend more time after your adventure getting to know your Trip Experience Leader and developing bonds with each other.

Arrive Early

Expand your discoveries by spending one, two, three—or more—days abroad in the first destination on your pre-trip extension or main adventure. By arriving early, you’re able to rest after your long flight and acclimate to your new destination and time zone—or you can hit the ground running and explore on your own.

Choosing this option lets you take advantage of our lower group rates and includes your accommodations, private airport transfer, and daily breakfast. On this adventure, you can choose from the following options:

  • Arrive early in Athens before your main adventure — Travel from $440 per room per night
  • Arrive early in Thessaloniki before your Northern Greece pre-trip extension — Travel from $260 per room per night
Arrive Early

Combined adventures

If you’re already overseas, why not see more of the world and maximize your value by avoiding the expense and length of another international flight? Combine this adventure with our Hidden Gems of the Dalmatian Coast & Greece adventure—a total cost of $12,690-$17,790 per person—for a savings of $900-$1,400 per person (depending on departure dates) compared to taking each trip separately. Additional benefits include:

  • Apply the 5% or 6% Frequent Traveler Credit you will earn on your first trip towards your second trip. Plus, Sir Edmund Hillary Club travelers save an extra $250-$350 per person when reserving multiple trips in a calendar year
  • Our Regional Adventure Counselors will work with you to make all necessary arrangements for a seamless experience

Air preferences

See some of the ways that 54% of O.A.T. travelers are personalizing their air itineraries on this adventure:

  • Choose your departure city, airline carrier, and preferred routing

  • Depart from one city and return to another

  • Upgrade your seat to Premium Economy or Business Class for a more relaxing experience to and from your adventure. Each airline has its own unique upgrade features, but here are the common perks associated with each class: Premium Economy normally features a larger seat, more leg room, and priority boarding, and Business Class features a smaller number of travelers in this section of the plane, a larger seat that can recline, more leg room, and priority boarding. Many travelers choose to upgrade their seat en route to the first destination on their adventure to arrive more rested and ready to explore—you can choose to upgrade for your roundtrip flight, or just one-way.

Freedom of choice during your adventure

We’ve carefully crafted this itinerary to provide a balance of included activities and free time, so you always have the flexibility to participate in included activities, go off on your own entirely, or do a mix of both. Whether it's on your optional extension or main itinerary, your Trip Experience Leader is available to help you pursue your own personal interests, and will help you with transportation, tickets, or anything else you need.

The choice is yours
