Private Meteora day trip by train from Athens, with transfers, six monastery views, three interior visits, and a local guide.
“This was a day I will remember all my life! While it was a five hour bus ride each way, the marvel and beauty of the monasteries was worth it. The sheer feat of architecture was breathtaking and the natural rock formations unparalleled. This is a must see when traveling to Greece. To miss this is like going to Arizona and not seeing the Grand Canyon!!!”

Private Athens trip to Ancient Corinth, Vouraikos Gorge cog railway, and the Cave of Lakes in Kalavryta. Small group, great guides.
“George was amazing! The train was down from a landslide but he still made the trip worth every bit.”
Private full-day trip from Athens to Kalavryta, the Odontotos rack railway, WWII memorials, and the Cave of Lakes.
“This is a true gem of a tour. The Pelopponesian peninsula is stunning. My driver Georgios was willing to teach everything from Greek language (how to read and pronounce), history of the areas and gyros vs souvlaki and the proper way to order it. The tour itself was a hidden gem. There were very few foreign tourists and mostly Greek people on holiday which made me feel like I was truly experiencing Greece as a local. The rack rail train trip was simply stunning and well worth it for the views. Kalavryta is a gorgeous town with great coffee. The scenery everywhere was stunning but the Cave Lakes were magical.…”
Every kind of day out from the city, and the best of each.
