**Lodging and restaurants can greatly affect the quality of your travel experience. It's no fun to be stuck far out in the suburbs or in a dodgy section of town - or both. You want to be in a central location where you can step outside your hotel and immediately become immersed in the Greece you came to see.

It is a sin to eat poorly in Greece, but unfortunately some tour groups do. The meals we provide feature quality traditional food. The meals we don't provide give travelers the opportunity to make personal choices about dining and to interact more closely with Greek culture.

What's not included

  • Beverages other than water or coffee at provided meals
  • Upgraded travelers' protection plans
  • Single-occupancy room supplement of $915
  • Fees to academic institutions for college credit

Available discounts

  • Fly with ACIS from Albuquerque, New Mexico and deduct $175.
  • Include a child age 23 or under and deduct $95.
  • Deduct $320 if our tour reaches full capacity of 20 participants by April 1, 2010.
