For rich history and classic postcard images, from the whitewashed houses with their blue shutters to the crumbling temples of Athens, Greece can’t be equalled. Explore 4000 years of history at iconic sites such as the Acropolis and Parthenon. Imagine what it would have been like for athletes from a different time at the ancient games site at Olympia. Then lie back and relax by the sea on one of the many islands lying off the coast.
The sea has shaped the history of Greece. The ancient Greeks traded with the people of other Mediterranean countries, and these days, ferries – both traditional and fast – travel between the mainland and the islands, where there are options for every type of traveller. Explore whitewashed villages overlooking the turquoise oceans, sink your toes into the sands of golden beaches tucked into hidden bays, trek through archaeological sites, or sit back and taste the catch of the day at quaint restaurants in traditional fishing villages. A trip to this beautiful country will leave you with memories that last almost as long as the Greek civilisation itself has.
“Tempo is Greece. We are specialists in the destination” says Damian Perry, CEO Cox & Kings Australia including the specialist operator Tempo Holidays.
“Having an on-ground personalised team in Greece looking after our travellers is vital. We are always making constant improvements to the portfolio. Including increasing our product range to include 24 island hopping variations for 2017, adding additional Greece mainland and island combinations, highlighting tempo top picks of hotels and experiences all whilst specialists are guiding through the process of the booking from the start until the very end” explained Perry.
Damian is seeing an increase in last minute bookings making the last dash to escape the cold Australian winter and enjoy the European summer. “With such amazing product at incredible prices, we are seeing our phones ring hot to escape this miserable winter” said Perry.
With up to savings of up to $1500 per person on the last cabins of Greek cruising it is hard not to see why. Grab the last cabins of these selected cruises where each day you will discover a new port of call, a hidden cove with crystal blue waters to cool you, a glimpse of ancient history to amaze you and rich cultural diversity to intrigue you.
Aegean Odyssey, Classical Greece and Adriatic Odyssey Tempo cruises all have availability with this amazing discount. Prices starting from $1345 per person, twin share for an eight day cruise.
Also included in the savings is two free nights in Athens for the traveller with 2016 Tempo Greek Island Hopping trips. As far as historic cities go, they don’t get much better than Athens. The centre of the city is an open-air museum, where visitors ogle the Acropolis, Parthenon and Theatre of Dionysos, among other sights.
Tempo’s Mykonos and Santorini package is their most popular island hopping trip but with many more introduced to the range in 2017 travel this could open the norm of Australian travellers to discover more of Greece.
“Santorini will always be a favorite with Australian travellers. In my opinion it’s one of the most spectacular of all the Greek islands. Looking out at the azure water, whilst seeing the iconic white cliff face watching the sun slip beneath the waves is postcard perfect and a memory not to forget” described Perry.
