Greece Tours

with Diane Kochilas

Diane's Food, Wine & Culture Tours

Greece is so rich: Layers of history, landscapes that segue from dramatic mountain villages to the bluest of seas, ruins that tell the story of Western Civilization, food that mirrors every aspect of the country’s natural environment, geography and culture, and, hospitality that runs deep in the Greek DNA.

All of this and so much more adds up to Greece, and in my more than three decades of living here, I’ve traveled widely within the country.

In my Ikaria PLUS offerings, a selection of deliciously curated culinary and cultural adventures around Greece and beyond, I have partnered with the best tour leaders in the world as well as local experts in select places around Greece to create journeys that promise to give you a very personal and personalized taste of Greece, with depth, historical perspective, antiquities, wellness, FUN, and, of course, always with the best food and wine experiences imaginable!

Join us for the trip of a lifetime, to Greece and beyond!

From Ancient Athens to
Enchanting Istanbul

14-Day Culinary & Cultural Odyssey Along The Egnatia Way
The journey from Ancient Athens to Enchanting Istanbul weaves food, culture, history, nature and antiquities from Athens to Greece’s pristine northwestern corner, Epirus and Ioannina, to the stunning thousand-year-old monasteries of Meteora, onto Mt. Olympus, then onto to the aromatic, cosmopolitan streets of Thessaloniki and, finally, to Istanbul, known to the Greeks historically as Constantinople.

Taste Athens
with Diane and Her Team
of Exceptional Local Foodies!

Planning a trip to Athens? The best way to see a city is to taste it, and Athens is one of Europe’s greatest (and least discovered) food cities — a gem of traditional and contemporary flavors, and the vibrant “Mother” of the Mediterranean diet.

Tailored-for-you Tours

Are you a passionate foodie or food professional interested in the Mediterranean diet, Greek traditions and regional foods, wines, culture and more?

Greece is a fascinating food destination, and every bite, no matter where, is flavored with the taste of history. If you’re a food, wine or nutrition professional or “just” a passionate foodie, I can help you design an unforgettable culinary trip tailored to your interests and needs, including visits to markets, restaurants, food and wine producers, farms and much more.
