Now, it’s time to look ahead to 2027, with 15 days to experience these extraordinary Mediterranean islands at a leisurely pace.

From the peaceful sanctuary of Rila Monastery and the shimmering waters of Lake Ohrid, to the soaring monasteries of Meteora and the timeless legends of Delphi. What an extraordinary journey our 21 August departure of Mountains, Myths & Ancient Empires turned out to be.

To each of our travellers: we couldn’t have asked for better company, shared laughs, and wonderful moments along the way. At the heart of it all was Konstantinos, our phenomenal Tour Manager, who steered every day with unmatched passion, effortless wisdom, and genuine local warmth. Cheers to the memories we made together!
