Tips

If you wish to shorten the trip, consider removing the extended Amalfi Coast leisure period (Days 25‑30) and fly directly from Crete back to Dublin, which would reduce the itinerary by about a week. To extend the experience, add a few extra days in Greece to explore the historic sites of Delphi and Meteora, both of which offer excellent wheelchair‑accessible tours, or spend additional time on the Irish east coast visiting the coastal towns of Howth and Bray.
