We Explored Greece Like THIS and it Surprised Us!

We Explored Greece Like THIS and it Surprised Us!

We’ve been traveling full-time for over three years… but we’ve never done Greece like this.

In this video, we explore Athens, Delphi, and Meteora, all in just 48 hours. It’s the beginning of a 16-day Balkan group tour. From wandering the ancient ruins of Delphi to standing “suspended in the air” at Meteora’s monasteries, this trip pushed us outside our comfort zone in more ways than one.

We don’t normally travel fast.
We don’t usually join group tours.
And we’re definitely not used to moving through 10 countries in just over two weeks.

So what actually happens when introverts sign up for a coach tour across the Balkans?

This episode kicks off our Balkan Explorer series, where we’ll be traveling through Greece, North Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia, and Bulgaria.

If you’re curious what group travel is really like. The pace, the people, the unexpected moments, we’re taking you along for all of it.
