Greece 2026

Tour of Greece

Summer 2026

Trip Overview

Join us in the summer of 2026 for the Twin Cities southwest metro parishes Tour of Ireland.

Embark on an unforgettable 10 day Greek odyssey, starting on the island of Crete, where we’ll see the mystical Palace of Knossos and stunning coastlines. We’ll then take an express ferry to Santorini, where whitewashed villages perch atop dramatic cliffs.

We’ll then go north to Delphi, the ancient sanctuary of the Oracle, and stand at the foot of the Temple of Apollo, steeped in myth and mystery. Next we’ll visit Meteora’s surreal mountaintop monasteries, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Immerse yourself in the historic center of Athens, where ancient culture meets modern charm. Tour the iconic Acropolis, marveling at the Parthenon’s timeless grandeur. Fly home from Athens, carrying memories of Greece’s unparalleled beauty, history, and serenity. Do not miss it.

Of course, there is so much more to see so we will have options to add activities. Send your questions and suggestions to info@squisitotours.com.
