One of the best places to visit close to Athens. It is only about 1 hour drive and the route is rewarding. Ioannis is very knowledgeable and really shared many insights. I strongly recommend this trip to cape sounio.

I had a terrific trip touring Mystras, Sparta, Delphi, Meteora, and Thermopylae with my guide Nikos! Nikos put together a custom itinerary with places in Greece that I had not yet visited. The highlight of my trip was visiting the clifftop monasteries at Meteora. We had marvelous weather for picture taking, and Nikos, knew where the best spots were. Hiking up several of the monasteries was also a unique experiences, and Nikos knew the best ones suitable for me. An AWESOME trip!!

We have this cruise booked for June 2020. As we are from Australia, our borders are closed. I have emailed three times to cancel over the past month and have not received any response. We were so keen to go on this cruise however this experience with the customer service has definitely soured the experience. We plan on going to Greece next year however I do not think we will be taking this cruise.

We were very satisfied with the whole process. Our driver was very nice and accommodating. He provided us with information on the drive to Delphi and also let us get off at two places to visit them. In Delphi he reserved a table for us in a restaurant, where we went to eat after our tour. The restaurant was very good. Our tour guide confidently guided us through the museum and the excavation site in German. We were all excited.

My husband and I planned our honeymoon in Sept. 2018 as a few days in Athens, then taking a bus to the Temple of Poseidon in Sounio for an afternoon and onward to a marina where we met Luciana and Renato. They gave us a warm welcome of Prosecco and conversation with the other passengers, one woman traveling alone and two friends traveling together. Luciana and Renato offered us a free upgrade to the master suite, which had a huge bed, en suite bathroom, and 'skylight' that opened for extra air flow. With the tides/winds/storms for the week, Renato our expert captain navigated us to the Saronic islands, which was beautiful smooth sailing to places like Hydra, Aegina, Poros, and so many other amazing bays and ports! The typical schedule was waking to jazz to let us know breakfast was ready (fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries, etc.), finding a quiet bay/alcove to swim, eating a home-cooked meal deliciously made with love by Luciana on the boat (often fish or kebab with salad or potatoes - always something fresh and flavorful!), then off to the next port to explore and have dinner on land (apart or together), and back to the boat to sleep for the night. Luciana and Renato gave great recommendations for the various ports, and we loved that the places we went had stuff to explore but weren't overwhelmed with tourists -- they were very local spots. We even encountered a pistachio festival! We saw dolphins several times and even swam alongside our boat for several minutes (literally, next to us -- we could touch them). September was a great time to go as far as ports not being crowded, temperature not to humid, water not too cold. We only had one rough sail briefly where we kind of had to hunker down, but no one got sick or tossed overboard since Renato minimized our wind exposure when we could get between islands. My husband is a sailor, so he got to help with the boat a bit, but it's not necessary for the excursion as Luciana and Renato are expert Captain and First Mate. It was a very, very special honeymoon that we will remember always and hope to replicate in the future! I cannot recommend this type of trip, and specifically the hospitality of Luciana and Renato, enough!!!

It was a great tour to the classical hotsots of Greece. Due to Corona on all visited sites were only a few tourists what I never had before. The hotels were at nice places in walking distance to the city center, so that we could enjoy Greece evening life easily. Our driver did a great job and had always interesting stories about ancient history and modern Greece to tell during our journey - thank you for this experience Yanis!

10. Full-Day Private Excursion to Hydra Island from Athens

Greece Athens Taxi GAT

Hydra, one of the most cosmopolitan Greek islands, is located in the heart of the Argo Saronic Gulf. One of the main reasons why Hydra is a popular destination is its proximity to Athens. On Hydra island, you won’t see any cars! Everyone uses their foot, boats or donkeys to get around the island. The car ban, along with the elegant stone mansions of the island, creates a charming atmosphere and make the island one of the most serene destinations near Athens. The charming atmosphere of the island has seduced many international jet setters and has been a retreat for famous personalities. Elegant stone mansions, narrow alleys, donkeys walking around, churches, little shops, and a picturesque waterfront set the scene of an island fairytale! Isthmus of Corinth a narrow neck of land connecting the Peloponnese to mainland Greece and separating the Corinthian Gulf from the Saronic Gulf and finally the Ionian Sea from the Aegean Sea.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, WiFi on board, Mobile Chargers, Bottled Water, Mercedes Benz vehicles equipped with child seats, Boat Tickets

We spent 5 days sailing in Greece and had a full day in Athens to fill at the end - Konstantinos came highly recommended so we hired him for the day to take us around all the main sights in Athens before driving us to the airport. He was excellent - knowledgable, charming, and good value for money. We would highly recommend using him for a tour...:)
