Patmos ‑ a significant connection with the Byzantine Period and whose Christianity has still strongly preserved the Byzantine presence by the monastery and churches. Here, in a cave, St. John wrote the masterpiece of “Apocalypse” ‑ one of the most magnificent texts of world literature. The harbour town of Skala is dominated by the mighty monastery of the 'Theologian', built in the 11th cent., with its priceless religious relics, rare manuscripts, icons, jewellery, embroidery and its wealthy library constituted it as one of the richest monasteries within Christianity. The narrow lanes with the typical white painted houses, the innumerable taverns and the medieval town of Hora with splendid architectural patterns, the people's lifestyle and hospitality ‑ all this creates for you an unforgettable stay on Patmos.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Round trip ferry tickets, Private local licensed guide

This experience was the highlight of our time in Mykonos. The food was amazing - home grown or made on Matt, our host’s, granddad’s farm. We also loved that we were getting off the beaten track and discovering the chapel and sights up in the mountains. Matt was accommodating, knowledgeable and made sure we all had a great time. We actually went in July 2019 but I took too long in making the review so couldn’t select that date. But it was too good not to share!

Booked the tour through Nicholas for the day were we docked in Rhodes on a cruise. He provided very good communication prior to the day's excursion. He was at the dock along with driver Michael to meet us. Michael was a safe driver and shared knowledge about a vast variety of things. He was a very pleasant day which the four of us are still talking about! Nicholas even called my cell phone near the end of our day with Michael to make sure all was going well. HIGHLY recommend this!

We were on a 7 day Med cruise from Athens, but wanted to spend more time in Greece after the cruise. Aphrodite arranged the hotels and rental cars along with some great travel advice. Great trip, rental car was delivered to the hotel and dropped at the airport hotel, never easier. Saw all the key sites especially the one you don't want to miss, Meteora.

we booked this for the black sand beach stop, Akrotiri, winery and monastery. the view stops at the beginning were actually right next to our hotel so we had the privelige to those views on our stay. the big coach bus is PACKED when you are all on and the island is windy, highly recommend bringing medicine if you get nauseous easily. the guides were sweet and kind and helped navigate large groups well. i am grateful for them taking us around their island. we passed on the last Oia stop as our hotel sunset view was just as good if not BETTER for the lack of people. this coach bus tour is a great way to view the island in a short period and to see the big sites! if you have time to spend on the different beaches beyond the tour i recommend! overall this tour was good and worth the money, they do offer hotel pick up and dropoff which is nice!

Delos is one of the best preserved ancient towns, a rival to Pompeii. For the people back then Delos was very special, as they believed it was the birth place of god Apollo. Today people who visit it can get an idea of the life back then, by seeing the ancient houses, temples, shrines, the theater, and more. An interesting detail is that all the houses of Delos were fitted with bathrooms, and a sophisticated system of sewers would take the used waters to the ocean. Delos was the first Duty Free place in history, as well as the first melting pot. It was also famous as a slave trade center, and the visitor will see, among other things, the big slave market. The guide will narrate the history of the place from the prehistoric times, to the archaic period, to the Athenian domination, to the Roman occupation, to the present day. The Museum houses exceptional artifacts, and things of everyday use, discovered in the private houses. Finally, Delos is a paradise for photographers.

Inclusions: The tour guide

Exclusions: Private transportation, Ferry tickets, and entrances., Head sets

Reviewed By SarahDiallo

We purchased the tickets by the pier for the tour for Delos, the tickets were 20 Euros. We thought this was a reasonable price, little did we know that we were only paying for the boat transport there. We were surprised with a queue and an additional charge of 12 euros, this was poorly communicated so took us and a lot of others by surprise. Other than that it has good historical content but there is only so much you can see there. After an hour we had seen everything we needed to see and went back to the boat to wait for an hour before departure. Wouldn’t say it is a must see.
