What people love about Greece Tours in January
- Charming Greece Tour - 7 days
Overall the tour was good but I’m not sure I would do it again. We thought it would be more of a tour group rather than just signing us up for excursions we had already found before signing up for the tour and booking a couple hotel rooms. The tour guide on 4 day over night excursion, Cassandra was fantastic, however, our tour ended up being bi-lingual and it took away from the information she could’ve provided us with as she had to say two different things. It took time away from both groups as we waited to hear more where if it was a single group, even if it was smaller would’ve provided more time to see the sights. As these were excursions and anyone could sign up it took away the group factor. These excursions allowed people to book separate hotels which took away from getting to know others as a group. Was a good tour but I would probably book my own next time unless it became an actual group tour.
- Vacations in Greece - 9 Days - Athens, Paros, Naxos, Santorini
Travel zone seamlessly handled all logistics, including transportation, accommodation, and activities. From airport transfers to Hotel check-ins, we never had to worry about the details, allowing us to relax and fully focus in the Greek experience.
- Classical Tour of Greece Four Days from Athens
I enjoyed the tour. I visited the sites I wanted to visit.

Are the Greek Islands worth visiting in January?
The Greek Islands offer a different but authentic experience in January. While services are reduced islands like Santorini and Corfu remain accessible. The Fresh Hotel in Athens serves as a convenient starting point for island excursions. Ferry services continue to operate on reduced schedules.
