Tours from Athens around Greece
I've selected these tours of Greece from Get Your Guide - Europe's leading tour and activity booking website. It's a site I use myself on all my own trips, and I love it because it's reliable (and more importantly for me) so easy to use!
I've also chosen these tours because they cover what I consider to be the most significant areas of mainland Greece you can visit in 4 days or less.
Note that these tours don't actually include time in Athens. The assumption is you will explore Athens at your own pace.
Tip: My popular 2 days in Athens guide is a great itinerary to follow.
