Sun-Kissed Bliss in Crete

Nestled in the azure embrace of the Mediterranean, Crete offers an enchanting blend of stunning landscapes and traditional Greek culture. The beaches here are legendary, like the pink-tinged sands of Elafonissi, where the crystalline waters invite you to laze away the day. For those with a penchant for adventure, the Samaria Gorge presents a stunning hiking opportunity that rewards with its dramatic vistas.

Dotted with quaint villages where local tavernas serve authentic Cretan dishes, Crete beckons food lovers to indulge in its culinary delights. Here, the freshest seafood pairs effortlessly with locally produced wines, offering a gastronomy journey that celebrates the island’s rich heritage.

The Aegean's Precious Gem: Santorini

Renowned worldwide for its iconic sunsets, Santorini is a must-visit on any list of Greece vacation packages. The island's unique, crescent-shaped caldera and cascading whitewashed buildings, accented by striking blue domes, create a postcard-perfect setting that's irresistibly charming. Perissa and Kamari beaches, with their distinctive black sands, offer a unique beachfront experience. These vibrant locales are ideal for those looking to unwind beneath the Grecian sun or partake in thrilling water sports.

Santorini's allure extends beyond its beaches; its rich history is palpable in the ancient ruins of Akrotiri and the medieval atmosphere of Pyrgos village. Stroll along the narrow streets, discover local art, and savour the island's renowned Assyrtiko wines.

Rhodes: A Journey Through Time

Rhodes stands as a testament to Greece's storied past. While its beaches lure visitors with golden sands and inviting waters, its medieval Old Town captivates with fortified walls and cobbled streets that echo tales of the Knights of St. John. For a taste of the island's breathtaking coastal beauty, venture to Anthony Quinn Bay, a secluded paradise framed by lush greenery and rock formations.

Immerse yourself in local culture as vibrant festivals and bustling markets bring Rhodes to life. The hospitality of the Rhodians, coupled with their passion for traditional cuisine, ensures an enriching cultural dining experience that celebrates regional flavours and the bounty of the Aegean.

The Allure of Mykonos

Known for its pulsating nightlife and cosmopolitan aura, Mykonos also excels in offering serene retreats along its beaches. Psarou and Ornos attract international jet-setters with their pristine shores and upscale beach bars. However, for a more tranquil experience, the beaches of Agios Sostis and Fokos remain blissfully unspoiled.

While the island buzzes after dark, mornings on Mykonos are perfect for exploring its charming town labyrinths, lined with boutique shops and quaint cafés. The iconic windmills standing sentinel above the town offer spectacular views and a glimpse into the island’s past.

Experiencing Greece Through Lifestyle

Greece beach holidays offer much more than sun and sand; they provide an intimate look into the nation's heart and soul. As you explore covered markets, partake in age-old traditions, and engage with welcoming locals, you'll discover the essence of Greek lifestyle, where every moment is cherished.

Whether you seek a flow of adrenaline through water sports, wish to bask in historic wonders, or crave culinary exploits, Greece's diverse offerings ensure that travellers of all inclinations will find joy and adventure.

Unlock the myriad wonders of Greece by indulging in one of its carefully curated Greece vacation packages. Each promises an unforgettable journey through dreamlike beaches, age-old traditions, and a culture that feels like home.

Locals don’t rush—whether it's dinner at 10:00 p.m. or a three-hour coffee. The best way to experience Greece is to match its rhythm and let moments stretch out.

Athens is like a living labyrinth—layered, electric, and full of stories if you know where to look. Once you’ve seen the major landmarks, get lost in places like Psiri and Koulaki for a real local vibe

It’s fairly easy to travel between islands by plane or ferry, but I love renting a dune buggy once I’m there—it’s more fun than taxis.

We recently worked with Jacqueline to plan our trip to Greece and had a wonderful experience. We made several revisions to our itinerary and Jacqueline was patient, understanding and prompt in responding to our needs. In addition to the specific tours she booked, she provided extra options and local suggestions for each place we visited in Greece. Her attention to detail and responsiveness made our trip incredibly memorable. Mark Mendell

We have used Goway several times to plan simple & more complicated trips. The last 2 trips we worked with Brooke Theron who is extremely customer focused. She listens well & is alway flexible to look at alternatives. We will continue using this representative & Goway. Our only criticism is that they do not break down the various costs of a trip which makes tipping very awkward. It can also create a sense of " mistrust" when all the costs are not transparent.

Our trip to Switzerland was an amazing experience. Our travel agent at GoWay, Bo was so helpful in helping my husband Louie plan just what we wanted to do on this trip. Taking the trains thru the county was easy by the many hours Louie and Bo worked on this. Also our helicopter ride in Zermatt on my birthday was just unbelievable. Flying around the Matterhorn and the Alps is one flight we will never forget. Thanks Bo for setting this up. The trip was one incredible adventure that we will never forget. Thanks again Bo, Lynn Gerber. Lynn Gerber

We booked a Goway tour to Botswana and Zimbabwe and it was excellent.  We worked with Brooke, the Goway represntative, to set up the tour and she was an outstanding agent who answered any questions we had very quickly and completely. Her hotel recommendation for the additional night we stayed was pefect.   Goway hires a local tour group, Jenman Safaris, to lead the safari in the 2 countries. The tour itself was amazing...the lodges that we stayed at were very nice and the food was great (except for one lodge's food). The Goway itinerary was slightly different than the actual Jenman Safari itinerary but most of the sites that we went to were the same as listed on the Goway itinerary. I would use Goway again because their choice of a local tour group was very good...nice lodges/camps and good food and knowledgeable tour guides.Ma Fa

Matthew handled my honeymoon couple's very specific African itinerary like a pro! My clients went to four different travel agents who only wanted to send them on safaris. My clients had already done safaris and were specific on what they wanted to do and see. Matthew hit the nail on the head! Highly recommend!Amanda Schott

Jacqueline F. made our trip exceptional. Everything she planned or reserved worked out as it was supposed to. Croatia was amazing and I feel we were able to explore a lot of it because of Jacqueline.Allen
