31 Tours Reviewed
Greek cooking starts at the market. In this small-group Athens experience, you’ll shop ingredients with a local host at the Central Market, then head to a traditional taverna to do the cooking yourself—hands-on, not watch-and-hope. I especially like that you…
The Acropolis gets easier with the right plan. This half-day Athens tour bundles skip-the-line Acropolis and Acropolis Museum tickets with a well-paced walk through the old town, so you spend less time waiting and more time looking. I love the…
Aegean islands, all in one long day. I like how this cruise strings together three very different places: Hydra with its donkey transport and car-free lanes, plus Aegina with pistachios and the Temple of Aphaea above the sea. The one…
Olives are the reason Kalamata tastes the way it does. I love how this tour strings together olive grove + mill + tasting in one tight 3-hour flow, and I also love that you sample 4 extra-virgin olive oils with…
Meteora feels built for postcard moments. This tour gives you that classic feeling fast: you see all six monasteries, go inside three, and pair the cliff-top views with a proper Greek lunch in Kalambaka. I like the way a guide…
One day in Athens can feel like a month. This private tour is built for first-time visitors who want a smooth, history-filled route without spending their whole day stuck in lines or traffic. I like the hotel pickup and drop-off…
Three islands, one easy day. This cruise is built for max variety: you sail from Athens to Hydra, Poros, and Aegina, with onboard live music and dancers. The best part is the pacing—each stop gives you real breathing room, not…
Music walls and burgers, right by the Acropolis. I like the Acropolis-adjacent setting and the two set menus (Acoustic 2-course or Electric 3-course) that keep things simple. The fixed-price meal includes dessert plus a soft drink/coffee/tea, which is solid value…
Meteora hits hard, even before you park. I like that this tour is built around real time in the rock monasteries: you’ll step inside three monasteries and still get viewpoints where you can see the whole Meteora panorama. I also…
Androusa turns olive oil into a story you can taste. This tour in Messinia links olive groves and Greek wine to real production—olive mills, a winery, and a guided tasting built around what makes the flavors work. I like that…
Trade street snacks for real Greek cooking. At Mama’s Roots in Kerameikos, you get a true taste of Athens beyond the usual tavern routine: a cozy 1920s stone house, a garden lunch, and recipes carried down through a Greek family.…
Ten hours of Athens magic, neatly packaged. I like this tour because it strings together the Acropolis at a human pace and the Acropolis Museum’s Parthenon Hall, then sends you to Temple of Poseidon for sea views. You’ll get a…
Pine trees, peacocks, and temple ruins in one day. This full-day wooden-boat cruise from Athens rolls through the Saronic Gulf, with stops on Agistri and Moni for swims and village time before ending at Aegina’s historic waterfront. I love how…
Meteora feels unreal up close. This day trip turns a long, car-free journey into an organized route with pickup in central Athens and a guided-and-audio plan once you reach Kalabaka and the rock-top monasteries. I like that you get both…
Greek cooking feels better when you do it. This class in Athens turns a half-day craving into a real skill. You’ll cook at least six traditional dishes using classic techniques, then sit down to eat what you made with Greek…
