The Greek Week Pride trips will cater to all millennial travellers looking to experience an awesome Greek Pride festival teamed with the idyllic islands and cities Greece has to offer. The original ‘Greek Week’ product runs over nine days, travelling around Athens, Ios and Mykonos, with new Pride departures offering the same itinerary plus some added Pride included extras.
"Diversity and inclusivity have always been core to Contiki's values," says Lauren Howard, Director of Marketing and Digital Strategy of Contiki Holidays Canada. "Doing things with passion means living your best life, understanding your true self, championing what makes us different and opening yourself up to experiences. Travel is an experience for everyone, so LGBTQ+ or straight we're excited to bring our travellers to these events to celebrate these values."
