We enjoyed a ten day tour of mainland Greece ending with an additional three days in Santorini. The tour was well organized and kept us informed before our departure. Our general guide was Demitris Gotsis whom I can't praise enough. He made Greece real for us. He told his stories about Greece during our drives, answered all our questions, ordered all the food (never a disappointment) and arranged the other guides that gave us local information; basically made all the arrangements from the time we met him in Athens. We had day hikes including Lousios Gorge, Delphi ancient footpath, Meteora and Zagori Gorge, as well as the regular sightseeing. Demitris made sure our day was packed full, yet monitored our capabilities since two of the three of us are seniors. The tours were well organized, informative and personal. We had a wonderful experience. Thank you Trekking Hellas staff.

we had such a lovely time on this small group trip. Our host was absolutely wonderful and made sure we had drinks at all times!! The meal she cooked was delicious as well. Felt like a very good value for a full day of boating. The only downside was a few of us got seasick because the waves were very choppy on the way out of Athens. Still, highly recommend.

The lacy coastal road that begins in the Athenian suburb of Glyfada and winds its way through Vouliagmeni and Lagonisi to reach Cape Sounio is one of Attica’s most sublime routes. Small beaches with their sandy shores or rocky stretches, crystal-clear sparkling water and a perfectly blue sky accompany you along the way and delight the senses, mind and soul of anyone taking this gorgeous route to get to one of Greece’s most idyllic spots, Cape Sounio. From a distance, your gaze is captivated by the ruins of the temple of Poseidon, commanding, stunning, a characteristic example of classical architecture of the 5th century BC. This is the spot that the ancient Athenians chose to honor their god Poseidon, within a fortress constructed to protect their coastline. Millions of visitors from around the globe also come here to gaze upon the sun setting into the arms of the Saronic Gulf. A memory that stays with them for a lifetime...

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!
