Greece : You will always find more to explore...

 

 

If you are in a group of three or more people it is cheaper to use us than to go on the guided tour bus and more convenient since we will be more flexible and less stressful than self-drive.

On this page, after discussions with a lot of people, here are the pros and cons, using all available methods, for touring in Greece. 

Also you could see (below) with details all the places we recommend you should visit (if you have the time) in Greece. Some of them you can explore from Athens with half day or full day tours.

You could tour to all of these destinations (and further) with an overnight stay, which is better than daily tours because you don’t have to return to Athens and be stuck in the traffic.

Instead you will spend every night at a different beautiful traditional Greek village or town. Definitely a lifetime experience. View a sample of our photos from touring Greece  Images
