Go to the limits of your longing.
-Rilke
A return to fundamentals is the antidote to a digitally saturated world.
It means exchanging screens for the power of being present. It means encountering uncertainty in order to strengthen belief.
It means setting out on a journey that will change your life.
Stepping back in time to a world before screens where you can only be in one place at a time and where the most important thing is being present to the world itself.
To be courageous, to seek the unknown with the goal of learning something true, to ask strangers for directions, to get lost, and to find your way home.
And fail, there is no transformation without challenge. Difficulty, not comfort, is the measure of true greatness.
In every moment, as if you are a child, seeing everything for the first time. The world is a more wonderful place, full of beauty and the unexpected, than most grown-ups can reasonably fathom.
To believe in yourself and in others, to receive kindness at the hands of strangers, and to let a humbling sense of gratitude become the foundation of an ever widening horizon.
I had an incredible experience with Alithea. I truly felt like an active participant, fully immersed in Greece’s culture, history, and breathtaking landscapes. Every moment was exciting and unforgettable.

Experience the most meaningful sites of classical Greece, the traditions of locals, and the inspiring beauty of myth, mountains, and sea.
They put together and executed a full and meaningful trip with positive energy. It was hard to end and say goodbye, but friends were made.
This was a fantastic trip to the Dolomites. It was thoughtfully planned out and was an incredible experience. I would love to do another trip with Alithea and Sunshine.
I couldn’t have asked for a better “pausa” from life. Everyday felt like an adventure with friends rather than a “guided hike trip” with strangers. No problems seemed bigger than the Dolomites mountains, guaranteed to leave the trip feeling so overwhelmed with gratitude and “funny times” :)
HEAVEN. Literally life-changing. If you are contemplating this host/travel agency versus others, don’t. THIS is the group you want to be with!!
It is hard to narrow it down to a favorite moment because there were so many. The boat ride to Capri and exploring the castle of Rocca Calascio on the mountaintop was absolutely amazing!
Our Italy trip was a journey of a lifetime, Jesse and Nate were amazing guides, hosts and logistics planners and made our family trip something I will remember the rest of my life. I’m definitely planning to travel with Alithea again.
There was never a bad moment. Getting guided through St. Marks square when we first got to Venice was amazing. climbing the Duomo, having free time to walk around th shops before dinner in all the cities. The Sienna museum.
I had an incredible experience with Alithea’s Athens and Cycladic Islands tour. I truly felt like an active participant, fully immersed in Greece’s culture, history, and breathtaking landscapes. From Athens to the Cycladic Islands, every moment was exciting and unforgettable, thanks to Alithea’s attention to detail and personalized approach.
This tour was magical! Jesse, tour guide and fearless leader, is completely genuine! He managed to plan every detail imaginable and still embrace the unexpected moments and opportunities. Sharing these experiences with an awesome group of travelers was the icing on the cake!
This trip was all we had hoped it would be. A full itinerary of historical and archaeological exploration, local cultural participation, adventure, and fun, with fabulous meals and an incredible group. I’m sure I will be booking again.
