“Maria was an excellent guide!! So knowledgeable and energetic. Really made the trip even more special!”
Travel in a private vehicle with a guide such as Theo or Nikos from Athens or Nafplio to Corinth, Kalavrita, the Cave of Lakes, and the Odontotos Railway. Expect a full 10-hour day, flexible stops, Greek lunch, and separate entrance fees.
“Theo was absolutely the best tour guide ever! My kids and I loved every second of the tour. Highly, highly recommend! It was a great way to see the countryside. I booked the tickets very well in advance and we got the best seats on the train. Theo ordered us the best lunch we have eaten in Greece. Thank you, Theo!!! Every detail was planned to perfection, Nikos! Thank you for making our dream of the perfect day come true!”
Ride from Athens to northern Greece, where a local guide such as Damian or Chryssa leads you through Dion, Platamonas Castle, Mount Olympus, and Litochoro. Expect about four hours each way by train, an easy but uneven walk to Enipeas Waterfall, and free time for a local meal.
“This was an excellent tour. Damian is very knowledgeable with the information and shared a lot of the mythology. There are very few tour to Mount Olympus, and this one was fantastic.”
Travel from Athens to Kalambaka by train and air-conditioned bus, stay overnight in a three-star hotel, and tour Meteora with a small group. See all six monasteries, St. Nicholas Badovas caves, a Byzantine church, sunset viewpoints, and choose a second-day monastery or hiking tour.
“We have Not enough Words to describe how perfect the experience was, the transportation, the hotel, the experience in general and most of all our guide Panagiotis (Panos) was awesome. He was kind and was able to explain everything in detail, he took amazing pictures of me and my husband and over-all made the experience magical. We would totally recomend and re-take the tour.”
Travel from central Athens to Kalabaka, then tour Meteora’s towering rocks and two open monasteries with a local guide, photo stops, and multilingual audio commentary. Pickup is available near Plaka, Syntagma, Omonoia, and Karaiskaki Square. Lunch is optional.
“parfaite organisation.nous avons bien apprécié les arrêts fréquents permettant de prendre des photos et d'apprécier les paysages. un seul point négatif, en tant que français, on se sent un peu délaissé !”
