Cruising Sithonia with Stefanos - This was an excellent experience. A total of 8 people in one minivan are shown four Sithonia beaches, each of its own beauty, plus a typical Halkidiki village. Stephanos was great as our driver and the tour guide. The tour was very well organized, and everyone on the team really enjoyed it. To summarize: well deserved 5 stars!
