Aegean Odyssey is a Destination Management Company in Greece. We work with travel agencies, tour operators and pilgrimage organisers, never with their clients directly. Inside Greece we take on the whole ground operation.
Much of what reaches us from the Philippines is pilgrimage, and usually Greece is one leg of a longer journey rather than the whole of it. That is a different brief from a sightseeing circuit: the liturgy has to be inside the plan, not bolted onto the end of it, and the Greek leg has to hand the group over cleanly to whatever comes next.
Our In the Steps of St. Paul programme is published here in full. Philippi and the stream at Lydia, Thessaloniki, Veria, Corinth — with Mass times protected against the driving schedule, sites arranged for celebration rather than only for visiting, and the celebrant's requirements confirmed before the group lands. Every programme is tailor-made, so tell us what the rest of the journey looks like and we will build the Greek portion to fit it.
