Visit Lake Vouliagmeni, Sounio Beach, and Poseidon’s seaside temple on a small-group Athens tour with hotel pickup and sunset views.

Review of Athens half-day tour with Acropolis entry, city sights, Parthenon, coach transport, guide tips, crowds, and museum upgrade.
“We were given way too much information once inside the acropolis. I felt it could be pared down so we have more time to explore.”
Cook Naxian dishes at a family farm in Potamia, pick garden produce, walk to a river, share wine, music, and Greek dancing.
“Definitely do this tour! Jack was amazing host. So knowledgeable not only in all the workings of the farm, which he tours you around and you cannot believe the amount for different fruits and vegetables they grow, but in Greek history that he shares with you while walking around the grounds with wine in your hand! Then it's time to cook and they let you do more than enough to make you feel that you are a huge part of the process, and then they do the heavy lifting. The dishes were fun to make and oh so tasty. If you request them they will send you the recipe so…”
Review of the Cape Sounion and Temple of Poseidon tour from Athens, with coastal views, expert guides, sunset tips, costs, and practical advice.
“Really picturesque, beautiful tour. Could’ve done with a bit more time at the temple to fully take it in and enjoy the bar and views a while longer”
Swim by Zakynthos’ Keri Caves, spot Caretta turtles, visit Marathonisi and taste local olive oil on this practical half-day tour.
“We saw some of the best spots on and around the island Zakynthos. We got good information about the areas and saw some big turtles. Our driver and captain were top notch. Thanks for the great time Elias or Ilias. I am still not sure haha!”
Explore Delos from Mykonos with a specialist guide, round-trip ferry, ancient temples, mosaics, and practical tips about fees and timing.
“Very interesting site with a lot of history. Our guide (Leah) was very knowledgeable about the site and was always willing to answer questions. The listing for this experience mentions that the admission cost to Delos is not included in the price, but I want to reiterate that point again. After paying for the excursion, you will need to have another 20 euros per person ready to pay in cash when you get to the pier to board the ferry. When you factor that in, it is a fairly pricey tour. Overall though, it was a very interesting and unique experience to see the many ruins and to visit the…”
See Zakynthos by coach and glass-bottom boat, with Navagio, Blue Caves, White Beach, swimming stops, olive tree and local tastings.

Cook with a Naxos family, pick garden produce, learn local traditions, then share a generous meal with wine, music, dancing, and plate breaking.
“Fabulous experience! We not only got to cook and eat lots of delicious food, but also toured the family farm, learned about agriculture in the region, and got to dance and break plates after dinner (and plenty of wine). Keep in mind that the location is out in the countryside, and you will need to arrange for a ride if you don't have a car.”
Taste Santorini through coffee, pies, souvlaki, wine, and local tavern dishes on a small-group walk from Firostefani to Fira.
“A great customized tour guided by Aphrodite! We walked Oia, and drove around the entire island and through the villages. We also got to go to the top of the highest peak for the 360* views and a peak into the monastery! We ended our tour at the Santo Winery for a tasting and an awesome view!”
See Naxos beyond the beaches on a four-hour tour to Demeter’s Temple, Chalki, village workshops, marble quarries, and the Kouros statue.
