No other part in Greece combines scenic hiking trails in stupendous mountain scenery overlooking the sea with an incredible wealth of cultural heritage and notable archaeological sites and monuments. This is the place where gods and heroes walked the earth for the first time. Filoxenia (hospitality) is very strong here, the food, olive oil and wine are Greece's best. Locals claim to have the best of everything to give and that’s no myth. This is where the remains of the famous classical city of Sparta are, against the impressive backdrop of the Taygetos mountains, the highest mountain in the Peloponnese. The Spartan trail, as part of the European walking route E4 is a meeting point for naturalists, photography lovers, hikers, mountaineers and climbers from all over the world. Beautiful forests, fragrant shrubs, gorges and ravines make hiking here a fascinating experience.

A great 6-day-kayaking-tour. We had good and bad weather, however, the guides George, Ana and Norbert always found a perfect alternative, like pool-training for wet exit, eskimo roll, etc or an alternative tour. All guides had been very supportive in every way and never-ending-patience with the pool-training. All of us could improve our kayaking skills a tremendous lot. George has a lot of stories (including history) to tell. We were spoiled with picknicks on remote beaches and a choice of excellent accomodation. But most important - we had a lot of fun in that week. A real highlight. I will definitely go back for more paddling next year with Explore Messinia.

Loved every moment of our private tour. Nikolaos, our host and driver, was courteous, flexible, and knowledgeable about Greek’s long history. He was a pleasure to have around, and helped to make our day a memorable one. The wineries and the Nemea region were lovely. Make sure if you’re booking the 50% online option, remember that you still need to pay the other half to the driver on the day.
