Review of Athens’ 10-hour Calypso cruise to Agistri, Moni, and Aegina, with Greek lunch, drinks, swimming, snorkeling, and practical tips.
“Great, relaxing day boating around the Saronic Gulf! Food was great, crew was fantastic! The drinks were plentiful!”
Cruise from Athens to Hydra, Poros, and Aegina with lunch, island free time, Greek music, and practical tips on value and timing.
“This was amazing day trip, I really enjoyed Island hoping. Each island had it's own characteristics and they were all very different. The tour was really well organised and lunch was yummy. I wish we had more time on each island but I understand it wouldn't be possible to visit all of them in a day. Would highly recommend the tour! You really get a sense of the local culture from the visit. :)”
See Meteora’s cliff-top monasteries, Hermit Caves, viewpoints, and Greek lunch on a long but rewarding day trip from Athens.
“Amazing how the monks built those monasteries on the vertical rocks…mind blowing!”
Review the Barco de Pirata cruise from Kos, with three island stops, Greek lunch, swimming, snorkeling, music, and a boat waterslide.
“Great crew. Both boys 12&4 loved the up beat vibes. Great swimming spots. Food nice (husband said he could have had double portions 🙄). Fab day out and well worth the money. Probably wouldn’t recommend if you don’t like loud music. Slide and jumping off the bot were highlights for my eldest!”
Visit Meteora from Athens by comfortable coach, explore three monasteries and hermit caves, enjoy Greek food, and return the same day.
“Maria our tour guide was excellent! She was very friendly, knowledgeable, had a ton of stories and was funny! Highly recommend this tour, great buses, plenty of stops when needed, a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Worth every penny, great value! The monasteries were amazing to see!”
Cruise Rhodes’ east coast by catamaran, with three or four swim stops, Greek lunch, unlimited drinks, and snorkel gear included.
“Really amazing trip. Smooth booth ride around the east coast. Really fun and would go again. Food was delicious. Guides and crew were lovely, informative and great people. The swimming stops were super special. We sat on the upper deck and it was perfect, highly recommend getting first on so you can get a great spot on the boat”
Cruise from Athens to Agistri, Moni or Metopi, and Aegina with Greek lunch, drinks, swimming, snorkeling gear, and hotel pickup.
“Had a great experience on the trip. The boat and staff were excellent. The food was really tasty too! I would definitely recommend this trip.”
See Meteora’s six monasteries, enter three, visit hermit caves, enjoy Greek food, and return to Athens in one well-run 14-hour tour.
“We loved our trip to Meteora! It was a seamless adventure. We were able to find the bus no problem. The drive was safe and the Wi-Fi worked. When we arrived, we did a private tour with Harry. I loved the tour. Harry is a local and knows everything about the area. He speaks with enthusiasm and knowledge. I would recommend Harry and this company to anyone.”
Visit Delphi from Athens with a licensed guide, archaeological site and museum access, mountain scenery, and free time in Arachova.
“It was awesome. We were impressed by our guide - Giannis who was very detailed and knowledgeable about Greek history including Delphi and Athens. The references to Greek Mythology and the learnings were really good. The tour bus was really comfortable and made us feel at ease.”

Explore Meteora’s monasteries, hermit caves, and coastal villages on a long but rewarding Athens day trip with lunch options.
“It was a great tour of the area and should not be missed! The local guide has insight you will never find on your own!”
Explore Crete’s mountains by Land Rover, visit villages, goats, the Lassithi Plateau and Zeus’s Cave, with a generous local lunch.
“An awesome day with our terrific guide Leon. A great way to see the mountains and plateau. The smaller villages were great to see, gave you an appreciation of their lives out of the city. Zeus cave was worth the hike, a level of fitness is required especially on a hot day. Would recommend this trip.”

Spend 10 hours cruising the Saronic Gulf from Athens, with Agistri beaches, Moni swimming, Aegina pistachios, lunch, and drinks.

Ride Crete’s Finikia mountains, enjoy Zeus views, and share a homemade Cretan meal and wine at a friendly family farm.
“It was great. The hosts were kind and also funny. Making you feel confortable especially if you are a beginner like us who never even rode a horse before. The lunch was amazing. Much better than many restaurants you could go to in Crete, fresh and tasty. Overall an exceptional experience for our first taste of riding a horse.”
