Travel Tidbits - 7 Ways to Travel Greece Differently

Greece can be traveled a million different ways but in our eyes, the pathways that FEELOSOPHY creates are the most creative, curated and colorful. Here's a quick roundup as food for thought on what's possible beyond the ordinary. ACROPOLIS AT DAWN- Private archaeological access before opening- avoid the 10,000 visitor a day and visit pre-dawn at 6 AM with an expert curator PRIVATE SANTORINI SAIL AT SUNSET- The caldera is spectacularly romantic so have it to yourself- the hot springs, the photographic beauty of the pumice cliffs + jawdropping photos. DELPHI ORACLE AT SUNRISE- It's just you at this magical sight that has delivered prophecies that shaped Greek history for thousands of years. Extra stunning when the first sunlight passes through the mountains. COOK WITH A CRETAN GRANDMOTHER- This is the Mediterranean diet at its true source, learn secrets to healthy lifestyle in a quiet village perched above Chania and help prepare cheeses and slow roasted lamb accompanied by freshly harvested vegetables. HYDRA WHERE THE TRAFFIC DOESN'T EXIST- Not a single car can be found on this island- the only transport is boat, donkey or foot and the absence of engines creates a gorgeous silence, best enjoyed with a dish of fresh octopus pulled from the sea. PRIVATE EVENING OLYMPIC ACCESS- The original site where the games were born- visit after closing with a sports historian who has studied the ancient athletic tradition OIA AT 4 AM- Yes, sounds crazy but pre-dawn is a marvelous time to stroll this charming village before the crowds arrive, when the village sleeps and the caldera glows an inexplicable blue. Take to the small streets with a private guide who was born here and shows you the real Santorini from a local eye.
