About your trip

Join us for a winter Apokries adventure in northern Greece! With the picturesque city of Ioannina as our base, we'll explore traditions in the region, as well as the city. This trip is designed to help you experience the magic and revelry of Apokries while enriching your understanding of the traditions. We've teamed up with local experts who will share the why behind Apokries celebrations. We'll also explore the region's natural beauty and local culture, such as tasting tsipouro and visiting scenic villages.

We’ve planned this trip to make it easy (and fun, of course) for an intimate crew to celebrate these traditions with intention and respect. Apokries is a special time in Greece, right before Lent begins. We hope you'll join us for this unique, authentic experience!
