Review of Rhodes’ 3-hour swimming cruise to Afandou, Ladiko, and Anthony Quinn Bay, with drinks, snacks, snorkel gear, and Faliraki pickup.
“The boat was comfortable and the areas we snorkeled in were fantastic. Boat captain was safe. Loved the snack and drinks on board were lovely.”
Review of Santorini’s volcano and hot springs cruise, with hike details, swimming tips, costs, timing, and advice on who should book.
“We really enjoyed this experience, even with staying on the boat during the hot springs visit since we can't swim. It was a great chance to take pictures with nice scenery. The visit to the volcano was an unforgettable experience, very cool to see the steam and feel the hot ground. Be prepared to walk on rocks, wear comfortable shoes! As someone who is scared of water/boats, the trip there and back was easy. I recommend this activity, it was our favourite for our whole vacation.”
Review of Athens’ private 3-hour electric tuk-tuk tour, covering Plaka, Lycabettus, the Olympic Stadium, and major ancient sites.
“This is a MUST!!! We were able to see everything and more before it got hot and then pick where we wanted to focus our time after. 3 hours and do informative. Joseph was the best, he made the trip!”
See Athens highlights by private electric tuk tuk, from Lycabettus views to Plaka and the Acropolis, with flexible stops and local insight.
“Our driver/guide Chris was prompt arriving early. He was extremely knowledgeable about Athens, a city he is obviously very proud of. He had a great sense of humor and spoke English well and was easy to understand. There were four of us on the tour and we can all highly recommend this experience.”
Review of Rhodes’ 3-hour yellow semi-submarine cruise, with swim stops at Traganou Caves, Anthony Quinn Bay, drinks, and snorkeling.
“A lot of fun. It was an incredibly windy day so loading/unloading took over half the time and the boat wasn't able to go very fast. Our first stop to the caves was only for 15 minutes and made it really hard to get into the caves and back. Wished for longer in water. Beautiful views and spots, crew was very nice.”
Swim through Lindos caves, Navarone Bay, and St. Paul’s Bay on a three-hour Rhodes cruise with drinks, fruit, and snorkeling gear.
“The boat is already very old. Except the beer (tin) unfortunately no drink can be recommended. There is also only cola (something local that doesn't taste good), lemonade and water. There is also a punch with something like Aperol, which is unfortunately just incredibly sweet. Unfortunately, 3 of us four got injured, because the metal is torn everywhere on the ladder to and from the water and there are extremely sharp cracks in the ladder. Unfortunately, I cut myself very deep on the first swim stop, so I could not go into the water anymore. Disaster the thing. Better book something else....that's not worth the money. Unfortunately, the 2 guys…”
Explore Lindos by submarine boat, feed fish, swim in Navarone Bay, and enjoy Acropolis views on this friendly three-hour Rhodes tour.
“We took a tour and had a amazing experience. The Captain and his staff are very nice and friendly people. We love it. Eduardo Cherbino”
Shape Paros or Naxos marble with expert guidance in a small Kampos workshop, then take home a handmade souvenir from your Greek island trip.
“This was a great 3 hours. You really don’t need longer/can’t physically do longer! Your arm will start to get tired with the power tool usage and hand polishing with sandpaper. JB was great with an intro to the types of marble and a little history. He will give overview of how to use the tools then will go around one by one to get everyone started. You don’t need any prior power tool knowledge—just common sense to be safe. He continues to go around to answer questions and help as needed. He has masks, but they are previously used. I’d suggest bringing your own and if you forget to…”
Explore Rhodes new town, Mandraki Harbour, and the medieval Old Town by easy-to-ride Trikke scooters on a private 3-hour tour.
“Great experience, the guide was excellent, very friendly and informative. After a quick demo the scooter was fun easy to drive. Will highly recommend.”
Review of Athens’ 3-hour sunset cruise from Marina Zea, with swimming, Greek snacks, unlimited drinks, music, and central hotel transfers.
“This 3-hour sunset cruise was an unforgettable way to experience Athens from the water. From the moment we stepped on board, the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. The boat was well-kept and offered plenty of space to enjoy the views. As we cruised along the Athenian coastline, we were served a dinner paired with unlimited drinks. The timing was perfect - we dined while the sun slowly set, painting the sky in stunning shades of orange, pink, and purple. The crew was fantastic: friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone had what they needed. The combination of great food, drinks, and breathtaking views created the perfect evening.”
Make a Greek-style mosaic in a private Athens workshop, learn its history, enjoy personal guidance, and take home a handmade souvenir.
“Fabulous altogether, I had the class to myself so it felt really immersive, and Marina and Zoe were really knowledgeable and very helpful at every step. One thing was it was difficult to find the studio - Google Maps puts it beside Ritual Tattoo studio but you actually need to go into the mall next door and up to the 4th floor.”
Review of Rhodes’ 3-hour boat tour from Faliraki, with Ladiko Beach, Afandou caves, Anthony Quinn Bay, drinks, fruit, and swim gear.
“We had about 15 people on the boat, was quite crowded but ok. They drove us to three bays where we could swim. Then there was some juice and watermelon. Nice but unspectacularAuto-translated”
Explore Rhodes Old Town, harbor, moat, windmills, lighthouse, and beaches on a three-hour Segway tour with training and photos.
“Brilliant three hours on the Segways, great fun and we were taught how to use the Segways safely before we set out for our tour of Rhodes (old town) and the surrounding area.”
Review of Athens’ 3-hour Segway tour, covering ancient sites, Plaka, the Acropolis area, practical value, guides, and who should book.
“This was my absolutely favourite tour of Athens (I've attended 3!). Stylianos is the tour guide you hope for.. Passionate about his country, animated when he brings history to life, and sharing his sense of humour the whole time. The Segway ride felt completely safe as he chose routes that weren't super busy. Kostas was also very understanding when we had to reschedule due to transportation strikes. The office was centrally located (near the Acropolis) and everything was great. Can't recommend this tour enough!Read more”
Review of Zakynthos’ $30 boat tour to Marathonissi, Keri Caves, and turtle waters, with swimming, practical tips, value, and drawbacks.
“Nuotata nello splendido mare delĺa spiaggia di Keri,. Grotte e passaggio attraverso gli archi di roccia. Marathonissi , un po' troppo affollata. Il capitano Yorgo, molto gentile.”
Start from a place, or from the kind of day you want.
