Greece Tour Packages from Dubai That Make Planning Easy
Greece is the kind of destination that lives up to the postcards and then surprises you with everything the postcards missed. Whitewashed villages spilling down volcanic cliffs, water so blue it looks edited, and a food culture built around simplicity done perfectly. With our Greece tour packages from Dubai, you do not have to figure out ferry schedules, island combinations, or which Cycladic village is worth the detour.
You tell us what you want, and we map it out.
This is not a place you only visit for photos. You will eat grilled octopus at a harbour taverna, watch the sun disappear behind the caldera in Santorini, and walk through ruins that predate most civilisations. Whether it is a honeymoon, a family summer, a friends' trip, or a solo escape with a good book and better wine, Greece shapes itself around whatever you need.
Islands That Deserve Their Reputation
Santorini's sunsets. Mykonos's energy. Crete's size and soul. Each Greek island has its own character, and choosing the right combination is half the trip.
Milos has lunar landscapes and hidden sea caves. Naxos is quieter, with long sandy beaches and Venetian towers. Rhodes blends medieval history with resort comfort. Corfu feels almost Italian. Our customized tour packages from Dubai are built around which islands match your travel style, not a one-size itinerary that tries to cover everything.
The Place That Invented Western Civilisation
Greece is where democracy, philosophy, theatre, and the Olympic Games were born. Walking through Athens, you are literally stepping on layers of history that span over 3,000 years, from the Acropolis to Byzantine churches to Ottoman-era neighbourhoods.
Beyond Athens, the depth continues. Delphi was considered the centre of the ancient world. Olympia hosted the first Games in 776 BC. Crete's Knossos palace dates to the Minoan civilisation, one of Europe's earliest. The monasteries of Meteora sit on cliff tops that monks have climbed for over 600 years. Greece is not a country with historical sites. It is a historical site with a country built around it.
Where Time Moves at Mediterranean Pace
Greece does not rush. Morning coffee stretches to noon. Lunch bleeds into a nap. Dinner does not start until the sun is low and the table is full.
That pace is especially magnetic on smaller islands and in coastal villages where the taverna owner remembers your order from yesterday. Our all inclusive holiday packages from Dubai cover accommodation, meals, and key experiences so you spend less time coordinating and more time staring at the Aegean.
History You Can Walk Through
The Acropolis. Delphi. Olympia. Meteora's cliff-top monasteries. Greece is a living museum, and most of it is outdoors.
Athens alone is worth a few days: the Plaka neighbourhood, rooftop bars with Parthenon views, street markets, and a food scene that has quietly become one of Europe's most exciting. Our customized tour packages from Dubai combine island time with mainland culture so you get both sides of Greece in one trip.

Travel Essentials and Local Insights
Quick tips on what to pack, local culture, and smart insights to help you experience the Greece like a pro.
What to Pack
Light, breathable clothing for summer. A swimsuit you can grab quickly because the water will tempt you constantly. Comfortable walking shoes for cobblestone streets and archaeological sites. A light jacket for ferry rides and cooler evenings, especially in spring and autumn.
Best Time to Go
May to June and September to October are the sweet spot: warm weather, fewer crowds, and better prices. July and August are peak season with hot temperatures and busy islands. April and early November work well for Athens and the mainland.
Flights from Dubai
Athens is around 5 hours direct. Emirates, Aegean Airlines, and Air Arabia all operate non-stop flights from Dubai. From Athens, domestic flights and ferries connect to most major islands quickly.
Money Tips
Greece uses the Euro. Cards are widely accepted in tourist areas, but carry cash for smaller tavernas, village shops, and ferry kiosks. Tipping is appreciated but not expected at the same level as in some countries; rounding up the bill or leaving 5 to 10 percent is standard.
Visa from Dubai
UAE passport holders do not need a Schengen visa for short stays of up to 90 days. Most other nationalities based in the UAE will need a Schengen visa, applied for through VFS Global in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Processing takes a minimum of 15 working days, so apply early. We can guide you through the process, or explore our visa included tour packages from Dubai if you want us to handle it.
Getting Around
Ferries are the most popular way to island-hop, with routes running daily in peak season. Domestic flights connect Athens to major islands like Santorini, Mykonos, and Crete in under an hour. Car rentals work well on larger islands like Crete and Rhodes.
Food and Meal Plans
Eating out is central to the Greek experience. Fresh Greek salad, grilled fish, moussaka, souvlaki, local cheese, and honey-drenched desserts. All-inclusive works well for resort stays, but in towns and villages, eating at local tavernas is half the trip.
Things to Do Beyond the Beach
Sailing trips, vineyard tours in Santorini, cooking classes, archaeological site visits, monastery hikes in Meteora, and nightlife in Mykonos and Athens.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions travelers have about visiting Greece—from travel rules and costs to weather, activities, and island experiences.
How many days do I need for a trip to Greece?
How many days do I need for a trip to Greece?
A week is a good starting point. That gives you enough time for Athens plus two islands. Ten days to two weeks lets you explore more comfortably, especially if you want to mix the mainland with island-hopping. Even a long weekend in Athens and Santorini works if time is tight.
Which Greek islands should I visit?
Which Greek islands should I visit?
It depends on what you are after. Santorini is iconic for sunsets and romance. Mykonos brings energy and nightlife. Crete is the largest and most diverse, with gorges, beaches, and Minoan history. Milos and Naxos are quieter alternatives with stunning scenery. We help you pick the right combination based on your pace, interests, and travel dates.
Do I need a visa to visit Greece from Dubai?
Do I need a visa to visit Greece from Dubai?
UAE citizens do not need a Schengen visa for stays of up to 90 days. Most other nationalities living in the UAE will need a Schengen visa, applied for through VFS Global in Dubai. Processing takes at least 15 working days, so it is best to apply well in advance. Share your passport details with us and we will confirm what applies.
Is Greece expensive?
Is Greece expensive?
Greece offers a wide range depending on how you travel. Local tavernas serve excellent meals for very reasonable prices, and mid-range hotels on less-visited islands are great value. Peak summer on Santorini and Mykonos can be pricier, but shoulder season brings the same beauty at significantly lower cost. Ferry travel between islands is affordable, and domestic flights are reasonably priced when booked early.
Is Greece a good destination for families?
Is Greece a good destination for families?
Very much so. Islands like Crete, Naxos, Corfu, and Rhodes have shallow, calm beaches, family-friendly resorts, and plenty to do beyond the water. Athens offers interactive museums and open-air history that appeals to older children. We plan routes with manageable travel days and stays that work for all ages, which is exactly what our family holiday packages from Dubai are designed to do.
Can I combine Greece with another European destination?
Can I combine Greece with another European destination?
Yes. Since Greece is part of the Schengen Area, you can easily add a few days in Italy, Turkey, or another European country. Athens is well connected to most European capitals. Let us know if you want to extend the trip and we will build it into your itinerary.
