My guide Vasile met me at the Acropolis metro stop, we headed to the Acropolis, and I was the only person that had signed up for a tour that day so it was a solo tour. We stopped at the Acropolis, Temple of Hephaestus, Greek Agora, Lycabettus Hill, the glass running man, and the Olympic Stadium in my half day tour. 100% worth it, got some great photos and better memories, and would happily suggest them again.

The trip to Delphi was truly amazing, the scenery and the pictures we saw were so beautiful and unique! It was the perfect one-day getaway from Athens. But the true difference to our day was Ted!!! He is such a professional, but also a true example of greek hospitality! We can't wait to come back to Greece soon and do another tour with Ted!

Be inspired by glorious Athens! The capital city of Greece, where many philosophers were born, was the heart of Ancient Greece, a powerful civilisation and Empire. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views from Mount Lycabettus, 300 metres above sea level before being tantalized by the neoclassical buildings of the ‘architectural trilogy’ consisting of the National library, Athens University and the Academy of Athens. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the changing of the Royal Guards at Constitution Syntagma Square is also intriguing! Lively Monastiraki known for iconic landmarks such as the ruins of Hadrian’s library, the Stoa of Attalos and the ancient Agora together with its flea market is of significant interest. Be charmed by the serene Athens Riviera and enchanted by the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, one of the major monuments of the Golden Age!

We had the joy to visit Delphi with Getaways Greece this July. Due to corona times, the tour only had 4 people which was perfect. There is a lot of driving (a few hours each way), but Christos stopped half way at a great place with food/bathrooms to break up the ride. Delphi itself was well worth it! The view is amazing and as a very spiritual person, I thought it had some of the best healing energy I’ve felt in a long time. We had a nice little tour, and then had time to explore ourselves. I highly recommend taking a few minutes to meditate and connect while there, it is the “center of the earth” after all :). Thanks for an amazing trip, Christos! 5 stars!
