Before the Roman Empire, there was Greece—the Island Empire with 6000 islands in all. If it’s your first time, expect a life-altering experience. View beautiful Athens from high atop the Acropolis. Visit the islands, each with different shapes, sizes and personalities. Lay a towel out on the most beautiful beaches in the world. Taste the seafood, meats, cheeses, vegetables and wines—as fresh as God intended.
Welcome to Greece, the Perillo way—authentic, friendly, and, of course, with excellent accommodations.

format_quote Testimonials
We have just returned home from our Tour of Greece and it was amazing! Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful trip. Our tour guide was exceptional as well as all of the walking tour guides (Athens guide was the best!) We are already looking at planning our next tour with Perillo to either Hawaii or Italy. We participated in the cooking class in Mykonos and was wondering if you could provide me with the name of the place where we took the class as well as their contact information. Thank you again it was the trip of a lifetime!
Ms. M.C.
The 2024 Deluxe Greece tour was beautiful. It was an easy paced tour with lots of free time. I believe that they have made some changes for 2025 by adding a night in Athens before your flight home. That is an excellent idea.
