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!

We took a private tour with Taz. The tour included Corinth Canal, ancient Corinth, Acrocorinth and Mycenae. Taz was amazing and tailored the tour to us throughout. He was extremely knowledgeable and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

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 have this cruise booked for June 2020. As we are from Australia, our borders are closed. I have emailed three times to cancel over the past month and have not received any response. We were so keen to go on this cruise however this experience with the customer service has definitely soured the experience. We plan on going to Greece next year however I do not think we will be taking this cruise.

On the way to Cape Sounion, will stop at Vouliagmeni Lake. Once you reach the top of the majestic promontory, you won’t help but gape at the 2500-year-old Temple of Poseidon.

Nikos organised a customised trip for us and took us to the best spots around. We went to Delphi and the museum and then to have lunch locally to a place he recommended. All was great and we had a lovely day. Very recommendable!

Relax just a step away from the temple and enjoy your refreshment or wine along with breathtaking views of the Aegean.

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!
