Highlights of Greece Tour for Aged 50+ Travelers

If you're considering a trip to Greece, look no further than Zicasso. Our travel expert planned an unforgettable journey for our family; Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini, and every detail was executed with care, expertise, and passion. 

From the moment we arrived in Athens, we were immersed in the country’s warm hospitality. Our agent made sure we had the perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxation. The historical sites in Athens, like the Acropolis and the ancient Agora, were must-sees.

Mykonos is vibrant yet relaxed. The beaches were beautiful. Every meal on this trip was a highlight. Fresh seafood, local cheeses, olive oil, and delicious pastries—each bite told a story of Greece’s deep culinary heritage.

In Santorini, we were captivated by the island’s charm—whitewashed buildings, breathtaking sunsets, and the deep blue Aegean Sea. We visited traditional villages, giving us a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions that are still very much alive.

Throughout the trip, what stood out most—beyond the stunning landscapes and ancient history—was the friendliness of the Greek people. Their warmth and pride in their culture made every moment feel welcoming and genuine.

Our agent didn’t just plan a vacation—he created an experience rooted in history, tradition, and hospitality. I can’t recommend him and Zicasso highly enough.

One of the best decisions I have made was booking my Greece trip with this Zicasso travel company The entire team was accommodating, responsive, and ensured a flawless trip. We stayed in Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini, having transportation provided to and from. The drivers, hotel partners, tour guides, and overall team were remarkable.

In Athens, I would highly recommend our guide for the Acropolis tour and our guide for the food tour. The Athens hotel was exceptional, right in the center of where you want to be.

In Mykonos, I would highly recommend the Jeep tour with our guide and the day trip to Delos and Rineia. Our stay at the hotel was beautiful.

In Santorini, I would highly recommend our guide and the driver for the walking tour and visit to a vineyard. The Oia boat company was great, serving up a fresh Greek feast right on board. The hotel suites were great, especially with the private hot tubs.

Overall, this was an exceptional experience, one we could not have gotten without our travel company. Our trip was planned in six weeks or less and the agents made the process so easy. Thank you!

Zicasso's travel company made our bucket-list trip to Greece come to life! They organised all our tours and transportation, worked with us to provide activities that were in line with our interests, and even gave detailed information on suggested itineraries for our free days.

Some highlights included the walking tour(s) of Athens, our trip to see Santorini, and the best steak I have ever had at a beach hotel in Naxos! Our only suggestion is that we went on a day tour to Delos which was self-guided. There is so much history there though that a guided tour would have been helpful. I would definitely recommend booking your tour with them!

We recently returned from an incredible trip to Greece, planned by Zicasso's travel specialist and her amazing team, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized—the travel, hotels, and excursions exceeded all of our expectations.

We visited Athens, Milos, and Santorini, and each destination offered something special. The boat tour around Milos was an absolute highlight—a perfect way to explore the stunning coastline and hidden beaches. In Santorini, we loved our private tour, which ended with a breathtaking sunset at a winery—an unforgettable experience.

Throughout the entire planning process, our agent and her team were wonderful to work with—attentive, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure our trip was perfect. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy every moment.

We highly recommend our travel company to anyone considering a trip to Greece. Their expertise and personalized service made all the difference!

The itinerary is not the best for the price we paid and for a family with two children. We thought we could come back to Greece, but after this trip, we might not come back or even use Zicasso again. Here are the reasons: 1. The hotels are subpar for the price we paid for this tour. Our hotel in Athens felt like a 2-star. Our hotel in Santorini has a great view, but it's just a view, no pool, etc. nearby. Our hotel in Crete is not near a beach, a 20-minute walk. 2. Too much time was wasted on travel from one location to the next (Santorini to Crete and Crete to Athens). 3. Four nights in Santorini with two children is overkill since there is not much to do other than take photos, hike, and that's basically it. 4. Some of the tours are okay but nothing special, i.e., the hiking tour in Crete where they call the "little forest" is merely just for the name. It has nothing to do with the tour guides. All tour guides are great. However, we feel the tour company is crafting ordinary tours, labels it special, and calls it private. 5. In Delphi, we could have had more time to look around after the two hours. If any of the tours were great, it was the tours we had in Athens and Delphi. If we had known this type of tour we received, we could have done an all-inclusive resort in Greece and done our own without having to go through Zicasso and the tour company.

Zicasso’s travel company was awesome. Our agent did a great job planning our trip experiences. The execution of all the private drivers and excursions was perfect. The trip planner tool was great to use, as we referenced it every day. The hotels, in-region airlines, and ferry reservations and tickets were all perfectly planned and delivered. Our many scheduled drivers were all on time and courteous. Our drivers were great drivers and scholars. They provided awesome restaurant and pub recommendations. 

We absolutely loved Santorini and the two excursions on that island. Both definitely exceeded our expectations. Our only excursion not rated five stars was the Jeep tour on Mykonos. Four of us were crammed into a closed, small Jeep and driven around the island with only a few stops. We were not taken to a top spot we heard about, which was the windmills and little Venice.  We rate that excursion zero stars for those reasons. 

All four trip participants agreed this was one of their best-ever vacations. We highly recommend this travel company for a great Greek vacation!
