Geotoura – Hotel concept

When we include a hotel in our programme, it is not only a high standard of quality that is important to us. We prefer typical local accommodation, often boutique hotels with a special ambience. They emphasise the character of an individual trip: Panoramic views, particularly lovely furnishings, a location in historic centres, no mass tourism and, of course, exceptionally friendly hosts – these are important criteria for us.

We divide our hotels into four separate Geotoura categories. Of course, you have the choice and can also combine the categories on one trip.

Boutique Hotels – Four categories

Encantador (“Charming”): Our most affordable option. Lovingly furnished rooms that offer everything the discerning traveller expects.

Especial (“Special”): Hotels with a special ambience – historic palaces, monasteries, haciendas or beach hotels with exceptional charm. Perfect for the classic cultural tour.

Extraordinario (“Extraordinary”): Luxurious hotels in excellent locations and with the highest level of comfort, often in centuries-old aristocratic palaces, old oil mills or haciendas.

Luna de Miel (“honeymoon”): For the honeymoon – span. Luna de miel – or if you want to treat yourself to something out of the ordinary …

Character of this travel idea

A tour through Greece and back in your own car – and coming home relaxed with a bag full of wonderful memories… That is the idea behind this extraordinary 15-day round trip to Greece, which starts right at your front door.

Experience culture

You can almost still hear the spectators cheering on the athletes in the ancient stadium and hippodrome in Olympia. The Temple of Hera, a gymnasium, public baths and several villas complete the picture of the area where the games took place.

It is no less exciting to follow in the footsteps of a Bavarian in Nafplio. It was here that Otto I first set foot on Greek soil in 1833 and began his reign – and it was here that it ended. What remains to this day are the town’s pretty historic streets and alleyways, which will take you back to these and even earlier times.

If you are visiting Athens for the first time, the Acropolis with its world-famous temples and sanctuaries is simply a must. A stone’s throw from there is the Olympieion, the oldest temple in Greece. If you want to admire the cosmopolitan city of Athens as a panorama with all its treasures, you should climb the city’s Lycabettus Hill. Even from up here you can feel the grandeur of the ancient ruins, which still stand out from the sea of houses.

Experience nature

Beyond the city limits of Ancona begins a piece of picture-book Italy that is guaranteed to tempt you to simply pull over and enjoy the view. The gentle hills with meadows, pastures and scattered trees rival the charm of the ancient olive groves in Kalamata, Greece.

In some places, it even has an almost tropical flair, with palm trees providing shade with their huge fronds. Just a little further on, the strong turquoise blue sea murmurs over a fine, almost snow-white sandy beach and invites you to stay a little longer on your individual round trip.

Northern Greece – delicious variety

A great trip also includes getting to know the country’s typical dishes. Northern Greece has a lot to offer. Freshly caught fish is not only available on the coast, but also at Lake Pamvotida: if you enjoy a great view, it tastes even better. Do you love game and stews, accompanied by aromatic herbs and fresh wild mushrooms? Then our round trips through the interior of northern Greece are just the thing for you. Meatless but very filling and extremely delicious are the pies filled with wild herbs and cheese or vegetables.

The influence of Asia Minor can be felt and tasted in Macedonian cuisine, as shown by the revani, a semolina cake dipped in syrup. Imam bayildi, stuffed aubergines, and lachanopita, a puff pastry cake often filled with spinach, are in the same tradition. Do you think a good meal should be accompanied by a good wine? That’s no problem in northern Greece either, as grapes are not only made into good wines in Naoussa, but also in Chalkidiki, Drama and Amyntaio.

   

Authentic travelling experiences

Before you set foot on Greek soil, you will land in Ancona. However, you shouldn’t just wait for your ferry here. Take the time to visit the Omero Museum on this 15-day round trip to Greece. However, you can’t just look past in this museum. Once designed for the blind, you can see with your hands in this museum. You will be blindfolded for the duration of your visit. As a result, the museum now also provides sighted people with completely new access to architecture, archaeological finds and sculptures by ancient and contemporary artists.

I would like to thank Geotoura for the fantastic tour of the Peloponnese. I felt well looked after from start to finish, all my individual requests for the route were addressed and the tips on the route were great. The accompanying material - the personalised travel guide - was great. And everything worked out perfectly on site. The accommodation ranged from great to fantastic and the people there were super friendly and welcoming. The mix of sea and culture was just right. I'd be happy to go again and again, I'm already looking forward to my next trip with Geotoura.

We were very satisfied with the overall organisation of the trip through Northern Greece. We were particularly surprised by Kastoria, where we saw an amateur theatre performance in the municipal museum, which is next to the hotel. From our room, we had a beautiful view of the performance. Away from the tourist routes, Kastoria is a place worth discovering.

The Peloponnese is very beautiful, with friendly and open-minded people. Compared to many other European countries, Greece is very clean.

Highly recommended! The planning was carried out according to our personal ideas and adapted again in a personal conversation with valuable tips. And that at short notice, just two weeks before the start of the trip! The result thrilled us! Great, charming accommodation in the Peloponnese, and an all-round carefree package as promised. Any time again.

We spent three wonderful weeks in northern Greece. Thanks to Geotoura's perfect planning, we were able to switch between hiking, beach and sightseeing in a very individual way. The selection of hotels was excellent, we would not have found many of the places on our own, and we would not have chosen some of the places ourselves – we would have really missed out.

Northern Greece is definitely worth a visit. The landscape is incredibly impressive and the local people are very friendly. The area has not yet been affected by mass tourism. The boutique hotels booked by Geotoura all had a special charm and were centrally located. A great tour, perfectly planned by the Geotoura team. Thank you.
