The guides were fantastic both Aki and Elena, pertaining to Elena she is very well educated and above has a very pleasant way to transmit all the information without the need of asking as she had the answers prior to the questions I think that is the feeling of all participating in the tour.
Seeing all the history of not just Ancient Greek civilization but also the roots of our Church! Geographically, Greece and Turkey are exceptionally beautiful countries and not enough pictures can be taken to describe their beauty. Also, I was able to be a guest on the cruise ship band which made the trip even more memorable!

What’s the Typical Duration of a Pilgrimage?
Our Catholic pilgrimages to Greece typically range from 10 to 12 days, allowing ample time for spiritual reflection and exploring each site.
What’s the Best Time to Go?
Anytime! Greece has a typical Mediterranean climate with mild winters that can be a bit wet. Summers tend to be warmer and dry. That being said, the climate in Greece is generally very welcoming for most Americans.

Select International Tours offers all-inclusive packages that include flights, accommodations, meals, transportation within Greece and Turkey, entrance fees to all sites on the itinerary, and expert guides.

What Should I Pack?
Comfortable walking shoes, modest church-appropriate clothing, a hat, sunscreen, and a refillable water bottle are essential.
