A most unique tour – we do not know anyone who has combined the elements of Greek Music: Greek History and Art: PLF and ANZAC history into one tour programme. Led by a master of Greek Rebetika you will absorb a Greece that is not imaged by the cliche ruins and beaches. Yes you can still include these, but our tour will open Greece up and display many other aspects of this stunning country.
