Australia is at once a country and a continent, a destination that combines cosmopolitan cities, endless beaches and wildlife found nowhere else on earth. It lies in the southern hemisphere, so the seasons are reversed compared with Greece: our winter is their summer. In twelve days you will discover Sydney, Melbourne, the Great Barrier Reef and sacred Uluru.
Aboriginal peoples have inhabited this land for more than sixty thousand years, making their culture one of the oldest living cultures in the world. British colonisation began in 1788 with the arrival of the First Fleet in Sydney, and the Commonwealth of Australia was founded in 1901. Today the country is a multicultural society with a strong connection to its ancient past.
The Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge are the nation’s international symbols, while Bondi Beach is an institution for surfers. In Melbourne you will wander the famous laneways with their street art and historic trams. The Great Barrier Reef from Cairns and the Uluru monolith in the desert Red Centre complete a picture unlike anywhere else.
Australian cuisine is strikingly modern, with strong Asian and Mediterranean influences and an emphasis on fresh produce. Seafood dominates, from Tasmanian oysters to Queensland prawns, while the barbecue remains a national institution. Melbourne is considered one of the world’s leading cities for coffee culture.
Sydney offers stylish bars in Darlinghurst and Surry Hills, along with spectacular rooftop venues overlooking the harbour. In Melbourne the nightlife hides in the laneways, with small bars, live music and theatres. In Cairns the atmosphere is more relaxed and tropical, with bars along the Esplanade.
Currency: Australian Dollar (AUD)· Time: 7 hours ahead of Greece (Sydney/Melbourne, with small variations due to daylight saving)· Arrival airport: Sydney (SYD).

This is a made-to-order trip, so you choose the dates. We are happy to advise on the best season for this destination and on how the weather, prices and crowds change through the year — just tell us roughly when you are thinking of travelling.
The main inclusions are:
The full list of what is and is not included appears in the "Included / Excluded" section on this page.
It depends on the season and the destination. Many trips do have a direct flight, but depending on your dates the airlines may not have a direct connection available for that period, in which case the trip may involve one stopover. We will tell you the exact flight routing clearly in your quote, before you proceed with the booking.
Not necessarily. The "From €X" price is the lowest price available today, based on current flight and hotel availability for that destination. Because availability changes daily, the final price for your specific dates may differ. We'll send you a firm, written quote before anything is charged, once you tell us the dates you have in mind.
Flight and hotel prices change daily depending on season, demand, day of the week, and how far in advance you book. That's why the price shown is indicative — the earlier you tell us your dates, the easier it is for us to secure the best possible price.
The single-room supplement varies by hotel and destination, and is included in the quote you'll receive for your specific dates. If you're travelling alone, let us know from the start so the quote already reflects the correct single-room price.
Payment is due in full at the time of booking. For certain hotels that have their own payment policy (for example a deposit or a specific payment deadline), we'll let you know clearly before you proceed, so you know exactly what applies.
Yes — once your booking is confirmed, the price is fixed and won't be affected by later changes in flight or hotel prices. Availability and price can only change before your booking is finalised.
Several trips offer the option to depart from a city other than Athens (for example Thessaloniki), usually with a small additional charge. If this applies to a specific trip, it will be noted on the page or mentioned when we send your quote. This trip is also available departing from Larnaca (Cyprus) — the flight price difference is calculated in your personal quote.
For this destination you do need a visa, but it's easy to arrange — either online before you travel (e-Visa) or on arrival at the airport, with no embassy visit required. We'll guide you through the process once you book. You'll also need a passport valid for at least 6 months from the return date. Entry rules change from time to time, so please confirm the current requirements with us before you book.
The local currency is Australian Dollar (AUD). Cards are widely accepted in cities and hotels, but it is worth carrying some cash for small shops, markets and tips. Tell your bank you are travelling so your card is not blocked.
Changes and cancellations follow the terms of the airlines, hotels and suppliers booked for you, so the cost depends on how close to departure you are and on the fare rules of each booking. Tell us as early as possible and we will look for the least costly option. The general terms of participation apply to every booking.
Travel insurance is not included in the price unless the "Included" list on this page says otherwise. We strongly recommend it, especially for trips outside the EU, so that medical care, cancellation and lost luggage are covered. We can arrange a policy for you — just ask when you book.
Yes — this is an individual trip, not a group departure. There is no fixed itinerary and no coach schedule: you travel on your own, at your own pace. We can change the number of nights, the class of hotel, add or drop destinations and arrange transfers, car hire or private guides.
Send us a request through the form on this page, call us, or drop by the office. We will come back with availability and a written quotation before anything is charged. The trip as shown runs for 12 days.
