Greece and Jordan are an unusual pairing, and that is part of what makes the trip interesting. Athens and Petra may both be known for their history, but they feel nothing alike. Add Delphi, Wadi Rum, or a few days on the Greek islands and the contrast becomes even stronger.

Our Greece & Jordan Tours range from 8 to 13 days, with three routes built around different priorities. One keeps the journey focused on Athens and Jordan, another adds Delphi and Wadi Rum for a stronger archaeological and cultural route, while the longest itinerary includes Mykonos and Santorini before continuing to Jordan.

Depending on the tour, arrangements can include hotels, guided sightseeing with local guides, airport and hotel transfers, regional flights, transportation within Jordan, and Greek ferry or domestic flight connections where specified.

Three Routes, Three Different Trips

The shorter route keeps Greece centered on Athens before continuing to Jordan. It works well when the Acropolis and Petra are the two experiences you most want to build the trip around.

Adding Delphi and Wadi Rum changes the journey. Delphi extends the archaeological side of Greece beyond Athens, while Wadi Rum introduces open desert and sandstone landscapes after Petra.

The longest route has a different rhythm altogether. Mykonos and Santorini add island scenery and independent time before the journey continues to Jordan. This option makes more sense when the Greek Islands are an important part of why you chose Greece, rather than places you feel you should include simply because you are nearby.

Athens and Petra: The Two Anchors

Athens and Petra sit naturally at the center of all three routes, but visiting them feels very different.

Athens brings the Acropolis and the historical layers of the Greek capital into a modern city stay. Petra is more immersive: you enter through the Siq on foot before reaching the Treasury and continuing into an archaeological landscape that extends well beyond its most famous monument.

For a shorter journey, concentrating on these two places can be more rewarding than trying to fit several additional destinations into eight days.

From Delphi to the Cyclades — and Petra to Wadi Rum

The additional stops are not simply there to make the longer tours longer.

Delphi is the natural addition when history and archaeology are the main focus in Greece. Mykonos and Santorini do something different, bringing coastal scenery and a slower stretch of the journey before Jordan.

The same principle applies after Petra. Wadi Rum is not another archaeological stop. Its desert landscapes give the Jordan section a different character and broaden the trip without adding another city.

This is why the routes should be compared by experience rather than by counting destinations.

How the Journey Comes Together

Athens and Amman are the main gateways between Greece and Jordan, with the international connection normally made by air.

Routes that include only Athens or Athens and Delphi are relatively straightforward. When Mykonos and Santorini are added, ferry schedules or domestic flights need to work with the onward connection to Jordan.

Once in Jordan, the logistics are different. Travel between Amman, Petra, and Wadi Rum is mainly by road, making it easier to move between the principal stops without additional domestic flights.

When the Combination Works Best

April through June and September through October offer a good overall balance for sightseeing in Athens, Delphi, and Petra while also fitting the main Greek island travel season.

July and August suit travellers who place greater importance on Mykonos and Santorini, although Athens and Jordan will be hotter. Outside the main island season, an Athens and Delphi-focused route can offer more flexibility.

The choice between the three tours is therefore fairly simple: keep the journey focused on Athens and Petra, add Delphi and Wadi Rum for a stronger historical and landscape-focused route, or choose Mykonos and Santorini when the Greek Islands are an essential part of the trip.
