Gold & Ivory's conception was rather unconventional. In its original form, it began and still exists as a private, invitation-only club, centered around the culture of ancient Greece. Its founding principle, however, was that a dry, solely academic approach to the subject, was doing a disservice to what was a deeply enlightened and enlightening civilization - immense wisdom was lying buried underneath dates and facts. To unearth it, the club explored ancient Greece in a relaxed and experiential way: discussions on ancient philosophy would be enjoyed over glasses of exquisite Greek wines set amidst sumptuous vineyards; and picnic talks on art and architecture would be hosted in thyme and lavender fields surrounding ancient temples, hidden deep within the pristine Greek countryside. Knowledge and leisure, beautifully intertwined.

​

In 2018, the club decided that its unique approach to the exploration of ancient Greek culture could be a boon for sophisticated travellers who visit Greece, but often miss out on the bounty of wisdom and inspiration that the country's historical sites can offer, due to a perceived banality of the concept of classic sightseeing. In Gold & Ivory, our vision is to reinvent it, and invest it with the high quality that it deserves - our carefully selected team of cultural experts will lead you through tours that will inspire you, entertain you, provoke your thought, and certainly gift you with an insider's understanding of the mythical land of Greece.
