Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime American Horticultural Society voyage through the legendary landscapes of Greece, where ancient history, horticultural heritage, and breathtaking coastal scenery converge. Traveling aboard the Emerald Azzurra, a private, 50-cabin luxury mega-yacht, you’ll experience a complete circumnavigation of the Peloponnese peninsula, exploring iconic UNESCO World Heritage sites, hidden harbors, and coastal villages rarely visited by larger ships.

From the sacred sanctuaries of Olympia and Delphi to the medieval hilltop city of Mystras and the tranquil gardens of Athens and Kardamyli, each day offers insight into Greece’s deep cultural and botanical roots. Along the way, enjoy expert lectures, private garden visits, and authentic culinary experiences.

Hosted by Panayoti Kelaidis, an award-winning horticulturist, educator, and AHS Liberty Hyde Bailey Award recipient, this journey offers rare opportunities for learning, reflection, and connection in one of the world’s most storied landscapes. Dates are September 17 – 26, 2026.
