ELIGIBILITY: This section is only for agents, schools or associations who wish to send closed groups. These Tours are not open to individual registration.
DESCRIPTION: Please see detailed programs for each destination.
Availability and prices may depend upon the season, size of group and age of participants. Every trip is customized both for students and teachers.We are flexible enough to handle almost every possible requirement; resulting in a realistic itinerary at a competitive price!
Usually we need a minimum of 15 students and recommend you to have a group of 35 participants or more in order to be able to lower the cost of transport.
QUOTATION: As some months are very busy, for example April and June, we ask the group to be confirmed 4 months prior to the arrival date, in order to obtain the different bookings. When confirming a group, we need to know what the requested itinerary is (considering that we may adjust the program depending on availability, on daily requirements), the approximate size of the group and age of the participants. The latter information is necessary to provide the group with the correct information.
GREECE :
Greece or Hellas is a country in south-eastern Europe, situated on the southern end of the Balkan peninsula. Greece is located in south-eastern Europe bordering the Aegean Sea, Ionian Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. Greece shares borders to the east with Turkey and to the north with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Bulgaria and Albania. Greece lies at the juncture of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It is heir to the heritages of classical Greece, the Byzantine Empire, and nearly four centuries of Ottoman rule. Regarded as the cradle of western civilization and being the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy, the Olympic Games, western literature, political science, major scientific principles as well as drama including both tragedy and comedy, Greece has a particularly long and eventful history and a cultural heritage considerably influential in Europe, Northern Africa and the Middle East. Today, Greece is a developed country, member of the European Union since 1981.
