Greece
Islands & Ancestors
Archaeology with the people who dig it, island families, and a boat rather than a ferry queue.
Greece rewards being slightly out of step with everyone else. Naxos rather than Santorini in September. A site with an archaeologist an hour before it opens. A family taverna on an island with one road.
What a journey here might include
- Sites walked with the archaeologists and historians attached to them
- Private sailing between two or three islands, on your own schedule
- Island families who cook and host rather than perform
- Athens at either end, in a hotel with a roof and an early breakfast
Pace and access
Sites are uneven underfoot and often hot. We time them for morning, keep the walking honest about distance, and build in the afternoon that is simply a swim.
