Great time in nature learning about Greek Gods - We liked this excursion a lot and would recommend it. Michael, our guide, met us a short walk from the cruise port. Our family of 3 joined a couple for this excursion. Our day included a delicious spanakopita snack (yummy!), some short hikes (including a waterfall), visits to a few chapels (beautiful), and excellent storytelling. We really enjoyed learning about the Greeks Gods and Greek culture. Michael was friendly and informative and kept us entertained with his amazing stories.

Beautiful scenery! - Pros… Michael was an amazing guide. He is a wealth of information, walking encyclopedia, knows everything about Greek history and Greek mythology. It was a perfect day for our hike. Beautiful scenery. We went off the beaten path of tourists. Wonderful little café we stopped for coffee. And ended the tour with some time on the beach. Now for the cons…. If you are used to hiking stairs, this would be fine. I would highly stay away from this tour if you have mobility issues. There’s a lot of rough terrain to walk through and stairs. If you’re afraid of heights, definitely not to tour for you. I would be cautious with young children , trying to maneuver some of the areas. Now with that being said, you can probably sit in the car and wait. But then you miss all the beautiful scenery.
