About this experience
This is a tour for the experienced traveler who can easily leave behind the easy solution of using the big noisy city (Athens) as a base, to enjoy the magic of real Greece.
☼ Fun, informative, comfortable, safe, great food & drink! We have planned an experience! Not a tour for tourists!
☼ You will explore like a local the whole of the Mythical Peloponnese and then cross over the Rio-Antirio bridge to visit the "belly button" of the world at Delphi and the stunning Meteora monasteries.
☼ The Peloponnese itinerary includes both the well-known sites but also the amazing "for-Greeks-only " locations.
☼ Like all our multiday tours, this real Greek experience has an authentic and very flexible itinerary & is best suited for flexible people too.
☼ Expect top-class but unique too accommodation. If in doubt, please contact us or just read all the reviews.
For some, this tour will also be an authentic food & drink-tasting encounter which means you can skip the touristy food tours of Athens.
