Gorgeous Greece

There are few places in southeastern Europe with as rich a history and culture as Greece. From the Parthenon to the Temple of Hephaestus, you will find a vast number of landmarks and artifacts to soak up under the sun.

 

Your backdrop for this adventure will leave you captivated, enlightened, connected to other like-minded, awesome humans, and elevated to another realm. You won't want to miss this incredible opportunity to step out of the ordinary, gain inspiring new perspectives, and go home transformed.

 

This adventure has us exploring the culture and landscape in typical Grit & grace Adventure style, which means loads of fun, loads of surprises, loads of laughter… and a little bit of yoga.

Gorgeous Greece

Embark on a journey with Grit & Grace Adventures to the enchanting Mama Mia islands of Greece! Greece is a treasure trove of experiences, boasting a rich tapestry of food, culture, history, wine, islands, and mythology. Join us as we explore the Sporades islands of Skiathos & Skopelos, nestled in the heart of the breathtaking Aegean Sea.

 

This isn't your ordinary island getaway. Picture accommodations approved by Goddess Athena herself, indulgent Greek cuisine, wine flowing from vineyards perched on hillsides, and beaches that will leave you awe-struck.

 

Each day promises a group activity, delectable shared meals, chances for movement, and ample free time to channel your inner Hermes (the travel patron god, in case you were wondering).

​

We'll spend three nights on each island, seamlessly ferrying between Skiathos and Skopelos. Oh, and did we mention these islands served as the backdrop for the iconic film "Mama Mia"? Brace yourself for some ABBA tunes along the way. Here's a sneak peek at what's in store.
