There is something inexplicably special about these island paradises that transport you into another dimension entirely. This luxurious 7-day getaway to the Greek Island of Corfu promises a paradisiacal escape while presenting you with the most elite exclusive excursions.

Your dream vacation will begin in Corfu Town, where you will spend your first evening indulging in a private cooking class with a master chef who will teach you how to create a Greek masterpiece. The incredible Achilleion Palace and Corfu’s Old Town await your discovery on your first full day on the island. These locals will invite you to peruse their many wonders. Several idyllic villages will beg you to discover their beauty, and to find these charming villages, you will have to summit Corfu’s tallest mountain, Pantokratoros Mountain, during an exploratory tour.

A palate-pleasing excursion will present itself to you on day four, and you will embark on a gastronomic journey that will have you uncovering Corfu’s most flavorful and delicious fare during a private tasting tour. Your island getaway will get really exciting when you venture on an exhilarating safari tour on day five. Led by your expert guide, you will visit off-the-beaten-path locales that other sightseeing tours often overlook, making for an incredibly exclusive journey.

On your final full day in Greece, you will make your way to Meteora, which is the world-famous monastery that is perched on a mountaintop. As you marvel at its pristine beauty and sense its sacredness, you will learn about its origins and what daily life was like for those who lived here. You will then return to Corfu Island for once last night amid your opulent accommodation, where you will be able to spend the night, reminiscing about your wonderful trip thus far and how you would like to return as soon as possible.

Our trip was incredible! We were so impressed with the professionalism of Zicasso’s travel agent and the guides we had during our tours. Greece has been a long-dreamed-of destination and our time in Naxos, Santorini, and Athens exceeded our expectations. It was an easy process to give some guidance on what we liked to do and have a curated trip for our preferences. We would recommend the travel company to anyone needing help planning a trip!

Greece Travel Review: Olive Grove, Local Cuisine, 1 Week

We highly recommend Zicasso’s tour operator. They were able to plan a tour for us around the dates we had available. They listened to what we were looking for in our travels and everything was spot-on. Many highlights were unanticipated. Everything was perfect, from our driver to our tour guides and our stay at an olive grove estate. We could not have asked for more. We will definitely use the travel company again.

Greece, Italy Honeymoon Review: Heraklion, Cooking Class, Olive Oil Tasting, Local Cuisine, 12-Day Trip

After planning a destination wedding, my husband and I were not looking forward to also planning our honeymoon. So we felt so fortunate to work with the lovely travel agents at Zicasso's tour operator.

Our agent and the team at the tour operator made this process so seamless and easy. We were able to clearly communicate our hopes and dreams for our honeymoon and our ideal budget, and she took that and created the most perfect itinerary. The thorough plan was perfect. We especially appreciated the 24-hour white-glove service, where we were able to ask any questions we wanted at any time and someone answered quickly.

I could not recommend them enough! We would not have had the honeymoon of our dreams without the travel company.

Greece Solo Tour Review: Naxos, Athens, Apiary Visit, Acropolis, Cheese Making, Hiking, Cooking Class, 1 Week

If I could give 10 stars, I would. As an older woman traveling alone, I felt completely comfortable and well cared for throughout the trip, as if I were part of the family of the team at Zicasso's travel company. Every single detail of the complex and densely packed five days in Naxos and four in Athens unfolded perfectly. The travel specialist personally knew a number of the guides, drivers, and restaurateurs, and all spoke glowingly of this travel company.

From sharing honey with bees at a tiny apiary to touring the Acropolis with an archaeologist, to squeezing the whey out of cheese at a family farm and meeting the goats who provided the milk, to hiking from village to village with a guide who knew the name and medicinal use of every plant we passed, to learning to make phyllo dough, it was simply terrific! If you're thinking of visiting Greece, connect with this travel company and enjoy the trip of a lifetime.
