Mr. S. L. – took this exact tour in November 2024
Our visit to Greece had many moving parts that meshed seamlessly, due to the expertise of Atlantis Travel’s Zak Benardout. Zak was reliable and accommodating, and consistently put us in the hands of knowledgeable guides. He arranged beautifully for our 6-day visit to Athens, Santorini and other isles. Then, the one-week Jewish Heritage Tour organized by Atlantis was well-executed and informative. We recommend Atlantis for any visit to Greece.

Mr. H. G. – took a similar tour in June 2024
Service is a taken to an extraordinary level when working with Atlantis. We had the good fortune to find Zak at Atlantis based on Greek guide recommendations (a good start).
Please note that cost was a consideration. Using a knowledgeable agent also enabled a cost half of what would be experienced in western European destinations. Greece is a bargain and provides world class touring experiences with World Heritage sites like the Meteora monasteries and Phillip II tomb discovered in 1997.
Over a year in planning, we just returned from a 3 week tour of Greece with an accent of Jewish history. My wife’s father’s family comes Macedonia – which can be considered part of various heritages. We had the good fortune to select a Greek oriented tour. The extensive Jewish history covers islands, and virtually every district of Greece.
Our trip was meticulously planned with car/guides, over 2,500km, 2 flights, and 8 hotel stays. The drivers were fabulous and accommodated any request! The guides were excellent with knowledge of Greek history of every kind – the professionalism was outstanding and addressed the interests of each of us – 9 people aged 9-76.
Truly a trip of a lifetime! Over the past 50 years, I have traveled for both work and pleasure racking up over 5 million air miles. I highly recommend both Greece an Atlantis Travel.
