Continue your exploration at the iconic Acropolis Hill, where you’ll discover the ancient Dionysus Sanctuary and Theater, as well as the timeless Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the Propylaea. Don’t miss the majestic Temple of Nike, along with other renowned landmarks such as the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Ancient Agora, and the National Observatory of Athens. Take in the panoramic views from the city’s picturesque hills, including Filoppapos, Mars, and Pnyx.

The tour culminates with a visit to the Acropolis Museum, a perfect conclusion that beautifully complements your experience of the Acropolis.

Traditional Greek Night

Start your evening with a short panoramic drive through the city center and the slopes of Acropolis’s sacred hill. Take photos of the illuminated monument and have a pleasant walk, through the narrow picturesque streets of Plaka.

After having enjoyed your walk through the old city, conclude your night out with a visit to a Typical Greek Tavern where you can enjoy your dinner, accompanied by live music and Greek Folk Dances in traditional costumes!

Perched on a rock next to the club and overlooking the serene sea, this charming bar-restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience. With a menu that features a delightful mix of fish, meat, and handmade pasta, every dish evokes the rich flavors of the Mediterranean, perfect for a leisurely meal accompanied by the soothing sounds of the sea and smooth lounge music.

For sushi lovers, the menu also boasts a tempting selection of sushi and Asian-fusion options.

Curated by an expert sommelier, the cellar boasts over 150 labels from Greek and international vineyards, alongside a fine selection of champagnes and spirits.

Once you’ve savored your meal, the night takes a lively turn as the clubbing experience begins. Sip on expertly crafted frozen cocktails, groove to lounge music, and enjoy vibrant dance parties. With visitors from around the world, the venue offers the perfect atmosphere to dance and unwind, every day of the week, until the end of summer.

Paros

Private Sunset Horse Beach Riding

Many of us have seen pictures or films of people riding horses along a stunning beach, and now, on this tour, your dream of galloping along the shore on a majestic horse is about to become a reality!

Experience the magic of horse-riding at sunset, offering you the chance to explore the enchanting countryside of Paros during the most beautiful and romantic time of the summer.

The journey begins in the area of Kakapetra, located on the south side of Paroikia, as you make your way through the luxurious neighborhood of Aspries. Along the way, you’ll reach the magnificent church of “Taxiarchaki,” where a breathtaking panoramic view of the Parikia Bay will surely leave you in awe.

Private Full-Day Cruise around Paros – Antiparos – Despotiko – Panteronissia Islands with a traditional boat

Departing from Parikia marina, you will explore the stunning beaches and the captivating sea caves of Antiparos. Afterward, you’ll anchor at the serene island of Despotiko, where you can take a refreshing swim and savor a delicious meal, featuring local appetizers and a flavorful barbecue, complemented by fresh fruits and drinks.

Before returning to Parikia, the journey continues with a visit to the crystal-clear, blue waters of Panteronisia, where you’ll have the opportunity to dive and immerse yourself in the beauty of the sea.

Private Paros Island Sightseeing Tour

Start your journey in the charming old port town of Naoussa, a vibrant tourist destination that still holds the rustic charm of the fishing village it once was. From there, head to the hills and explore the traditional village of Lefkes, with its narrow, whitewashed alleys and quaint stacked houses.

Next, embark on a walk along the ancient, herb-scented, and marble-paved Byzantine Way, a historic route built during the Byzantine (medieval) era. This central road once connected the capital, Parikia, to the mountain village of Lefkes and the medieval port of Molos. The circular hike, lasting about an hour and a half, offers a peaceful trek through the untouched Parian countryside, with a few gentle uphill stretches.

Upon returning to Lefkes, you can visit the village’s church, built entirely from local marble, before taking a quick detour to the nearby village of Prodromos, known as the “bougainvillea village.” Finish your day with a delicious, hearty lunch of local meze, enjoyed in the serene garden of a traditional tavern.

Nightlife & Partying

Paros is famous for its lively and cosmopolitan nightlife, offering a wide range of options for both dancing and enjoying drinks. From vibrant nightclubs to live music venues and beach clubs, the island is known for hosting fun, unforgettable parties.

The two main hotspots for nightlife in Paros are Parikia and Naoussa. In Parikia, you’ll find numerous harbor-side clubs, where the music is loud, and the energy is high, creating an exciting atmosphere that lasts all night. Naoussa, on the other hand, offers a more sophisticated nightlife experience, with elegant clubs lining the seafront, where you can enjoy a chic night out.

Across the island, especially near popular beaches like Pounda, you’ll also find a few other clubs that host fantastic parties and events that keep the fun going well into the early hours!

Naxos

Private Organic Wood-Fire Cooking Class

Picture a place where time seems to stand still—an idyllic family farm, once owned by the Venetian ruler of Naxos in the 15th century. Here, there’s no electricity, so everything is lovingly prepared over a wood fire, allowing the flavors to develop slowly. The farm is home to ancient olive trees, some over 2,000 years old, as well as a variety of organic fruits, vegetables, and beehives, all complemented by fresh, running water. It’s what we like to call a gastronomical paradise. During your visit, you’ll have the chance to learn how to prepare traditional Greek dishes, and, of course, savor every bite of what you’ve made. The meal also includes freshly baked bread, dessert, and local wine—ensuring an unforgettable experience to cherish with each moment.

Private Full-Day Cruise to Delos & Mykonos

Begin your journey on Delos, a remarkable archaeological treasure, and make your way to the iconic Mykonos, where picturesque charm meets a cosmopolitan vibe and stunning beaches.

Explore the UNESCO-protected Holy Island of Delos, the mythical birthplace of the gods Apollo and Artemis, nestled at the heart of the Cyclades. Then, unwind on the pristine, tranquil beaches of Rhenia, where the crystal-clear waters invite you to dive in. Take a moment to discover the vibrant marine life beneath the surface, encountering octopuses and a variety of colorful fish. Wander through the charming “Alefkandra” neighborhood, also known as “Little Venice of Mykonos,” where the wooden balconies seem to hover above the sea, offering the perfect backdrop for unforgettable photos. Meander through the traditional narrow streets and the Old Port of Mykonos, indulging in endless shopping, from unique local souvenirs to renowned global brands. Return to Naxos, carrying with you the unforgettable images, flavors, and scents of the Aegean.

Private Food Tour: Discover Local Products

Naxos is known to be one of the most fertile and green islands of the Cyclades, blessing its residents with treasures such as organic fruit, vegetables and savory dairy products some of which are globally known. In the mountain village of Filoti, you will have the exclusive opportunity to visit a local pen (sheepfold) where a shepherd will share with you the story of his cheese making and of course, you will taste some of the famous Naxian cheeses. In the green valley of Eggares village, you will visit the museum of olive oil where you will taste the “liquid gold” which is produced by thousands of years old olive trees. Of course, one can not miss the famous Citron of Naxos which is distilled in the village of Halki, a liqueur made of the leaves of the citron trees, a unique product with a history that dates back to 1896. Finally, you will wander around the alleys of the mountain village Apiranthos, where you will have the chance to taste the so-called “Zaboni” a salty and spicy prosciutto-like ham which is only produced in that village.

Naxos “Chora” Tour

Discover the enchanting beauty of Naxos’ Old Town and its historic castle, while immersing yourself in the island’s rich culture and history, both ancient and modern. This is the perfect chance to enjoy a relaxing and informative evening in the heart of Naxos, blending fun and education effortlessly.

Stroll through the Venetian castle, still inhabited today, and explore its charming old market, with its winding, narrow streets that beautifully reflect Cycladic architecture. As you wander, learn about the town’s cherished customs, traditions, and the everyday lives of its people. Along the way, you’ll encounter a delightful variety of unique shops, cozy restaurants, and lively bars.

Your journey will end at Portara, Naxos’ most iconic landmark! It’s the ideal spot to experience a breathtaking sunset, with panoramic views of the Aegean Sea stretching out before you.

The Portara, or the Great Door, is a striking marble gateway that proudly stands as a symbol of Naxos. Situated near the port, on the small islet of Palatia, it offers a glimpse into the island’s ancient past. Once, a land bridge connected the port to the islet, though today, this has been replaced by a causeway.

According to legend, it was on this very islet that the Minoan princess Ariadne was abandoned by her lover, Theseus, after he triumphed over the Minotaur in Crete.

Santorini

Santorini Private Sunset Hike, Wine Tasting & Light Dinner

Start your journey with a ride in a comfortable vehicle to the outskirts of Imerovigli. After the short walk, you arrive at the church of Agios Georgios from where you will enjoy the beautiful view and the warm tones that the sunset gives to this iconic church. Your hike continues on the famous Fira-Oia hiking trail as night falls for an epic 1.5-hour journey at a time of day when few choose to walk. You’ll stop along the way to see the villages lit up at night and admire the volcano. When you arrive in Fira, you will dine on delicious authentic Greek food at a local restaurant. You will enjoy four types of Santorini’s volcanic wines, including the popular Vinsanto wine. Learn about the culture and history of the island’s wine from your experienced guide, including how wine draws its flavor from the volcanic land of Santorini. Finally, you return to your accommodation through a comfortable ride with our guide.

Sails past the Indian Rock, Akrotiri, the Lighthouse, and Aspronisi. 3rd stop at the Hot Springs for swimming. It is the last stop below Oia to watch the sunset. Tour ends at Ammoudi port after sunset.

Panoramic Island Tour

Begin your day with a visit to the ancient town of Akrotiri, a captivating site that inspired the myth of the Lost Atlantis. This town was tragically buried under volcanic ash during the massive eruption of 1612 BC, an event that also led to the downfall of the Minoan civilization.

Next, head to the stunning Red Beach, a place of unique beauty that feels almost otherworldly, with its striking red cliffs and sands. While there, enjoy a tasting of Santorini’s famous local wines and learn about the island’s distinctive micro-climate, all while savoring lunch at one of the island’s renowned wineries.

After a refreshing stop at the mesmerizing Black Beach, where the volcanic sand contrasts beautifully with the deep blue sea, make your way to Pyrgos, the oldest village on the island. Perched on a hill, it offers sweeping panoramic views, with its charming whitewashed houses and vibrant flowers evoking a timeless, serene atmosphere.

To cap off your day, visit Prophet Elias, the highest point on Santorini. From here, you’ll be treated to breathtaking panoramic views of the island, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a spectacular sunset, a truly unforgettable experience.

Oia Village Tour

Oia, pronounced “Ia,” is a stunning village located on the northern edge of Santorini’s caldera. It is the island’s second-largest village after Fira, the capital, and lies just 12 km from Fira. You can reach Oia by a transfer or, for those looking for a more scenic experience, by taking the popular hiking path from Fira.

Oia has earned worldwide acclaim for its authentic Cycladic charm—its pristine whitewashed houses, winding alleys, and breathtaking hotels. However, what truly makes Oia legendary is its magical sunset. Each evening, people from all over the world gather to witness the sun dip below the Aegean Sea, offering what many consider the most beautiful sunset in Greece.

Oia is undeniably the most picturesque village in Santorini—some even say it’s the prettiest in all of Greece! When you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the stunning vistas, feeling as though time stands still as the view leaves you utterly mesmerized.

Be sure to visit during sunset, and remember to arrive early to secure the perfect spot, as this iconic experience is highly sought after!

Milos

Private Full-Day Cruise around Milos & Poliegos Islands with a Sailing Boat

A private cruise is a perfect way to get the best of Milos! Having the luxury to make your own plan means being able to avoid crowds which is priceless, especially in high season!

The cruise is usually from 10 am to around 7 pm. However, since you will have the boat to yourselves you can start or return a bit earlier or later if you like. As per the itinerary and stops, you will plan this together with our skipper or just leave it to his experience, since he knows the beauties and the highlights of Milos island.

A visit to Sarakiniko Beach

Located just five kilometers away from the scenic town of Plaka, Sarakiniko Beach in Milos is the most well-known shore on the island, boasting a rarely-sighted geological profile that strikes a chord in every visitor!

Towards the northern part of Milos, a 10-minute drive from Adamas port, Sarakiniko is a stunning sight to behold, frequently used for photography sessions!

The beach has a lunar landscape that makes it vastly different from every other shore in Greece, featuring awe-inspiring, smooth white rocks with plenty of horizontal layering. 

Its formation is highly unique, boasting numerous caves that anyone can explore with the help of a flashlight! The beach was mostly formed as such due to fossil layering and some volcanic eruptions, while it is said to have been named after the Saracen pirates that used the caves as a shelter.

Other pirate populations, such as the Cilicians, the Ottomans, and the Barbary pirates, have also used the coast as a hiding place.

There is no vegetation to be found around Sarakiniko, so the white/blue contrast between the cliffs and the endless Aegean Sea is striking!

Sitting on the white cliffs of Sarakiniko during the late afternoon hours will reward you with an outstanding sunset view! While it is usually crowded, a visit in the early morning or late night will guarantee you little to no company, perfect for some private moments or simply enjoying the otherworldly views of the sea horizon!

Islands “Fishing” Villages Tour

Mandrakia, a charming fishing village on the northern coast of Milos, is nestled in a serene bay. While it doesn’t have a beach of its own, a narrow pebble strand, it is surrounded by several nearby beaches with stunning turquoise waters.

The village is known for its unique, colorful “syrmata”—traditional fishermen’s houses carved into the stone. These historical homes once served as secondary dwellings for local fishermen, with the ground floors used for boat storage and the upper floors providing living spaces.

Not far from Mandrakia, you’ll find Klima, another picturesque village famed for its “syrmata.” With fewer than 20 permanent residents, Klima is one of the smallest settlements on the island, adding to its peaceful, unspoiled charm.

Neighboring Island of Kimolos Tour

Kimolos is a stunning Cycladic island that exudes a peaceful, picturesque charm. With its traditional character beautifully preserved, it’s located near Milos but remains far less touristy, making it the perfect destination for those seeking a more tranquil, off-the-beaten-path escape.

A small local ferry connects Milos to Kimolos from Pollonia Port, where you can easily purchase a ticket and bring along your rented car for convenience.

The island’s name, Kimolos, is derived from the Greek word kimolia, meaning chalk. Kimolos is rich in both chalk and perlite, a type of volcanic glass. To the southeast, you’ll find three small uninhabited islands, adding to the island’s secluded charm.

While tourism is gradually increasing, Kimolos remains a serene haven with beautiful beaches and warm hospitality from its residents. Some of the island’s most beautiful beaches include Aliki, Klima, Kalamitsi, and Livadaki. For those interested in history, the island also offers fascinating sites such as the ruined Venetian castle, the necropolis in Psathi village, and the ancient tombs near Kambana Beach, all of which are worth exploring.
