Explore Zakynthos by minibus and boat, with Shipwreck Beach, Blue Caves, swimming stops, viewpoints, and an ancient olive tree.
“It’s a mix of land and sea tour, where you can enjoy both swimming in great places and admiring beautiful scenery. The boat has a separate fee of 25 euro/pers and it’s paid at the end of the tour. The boat takes you to see the Blue Caves, the Shipwreck beach and stops for photos and swimming. It is not a speedboat, so you are able to actual enjoy the time on the boat too. On land, we got to see the Blue Caves and the Shipwreck from above, went for lunch to a nice taverna, tasted olive oil from a 2000 year old olive tree - which was pretty…”
Review of the Elafonisi day trip from Chania, with pink sand, clear water, Topolia Gorge, hotel pickup, and practical tips.
“Our excursion to Elafonissi Beach was absolutely amazing! Everything was so well organized, and the day ran perfectly from start to finish. The highlight, though, was our incredible guide, Simona. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and full of positive energy — you could tell she truly loves what she does. Also a big shout to our driver who did an amazing job negotiating some narrow roads! Simona shared fascinating stories and local insights along the way, making the journey through the Cretan mountains just as enjoyable as our time on the beach. She made everyone feel comfortable and cared for, checking in often and giving great tips on where to eat,…”

“The Athens HoHo has excellent routes, one inside of Athens proper that goes to or near all the major antiquity sites and museums. Then another that does outlying neighborhoods and a beach route. The drivers and personnel at the busy stops were super friendly and full of information and pointers about the routes. The Red Line is a great economical way to take an appox two hour trip around Athens major tourist sites and beyond.”
Cruise from Porto Vromi to Navagio Shipwreck Beach, blue caves, White Beach, and three turquoise-water swim stops on Zakynthos.
“Fabulous! The captain’s English was limited but he knew exactly what to say at all the right times to let us know the best sights and places to swim! An expert navigator who brought us INTO many of the caves and made sure all sides of the boat got a view. A totally incredible tour of truly the most beautiful water I’ve ever seen worth every cent!”

“I loved it! I travelled with my 8 yo daughter and was a bit scared of walking in the gorge with her, but the distance to the waterfalls and the difficulty weren't bad, she managed. Overall the trip was very interesting, there was enough time to enjoy each place. I highly recommend it:)”

Review of Crete’s 4x4 safari to Preveli Beach, with mountain villages, gorges, local lunch, wine, hotel pickup, and practical tips.
“Although the weather was not the best for the first couple of hours of this tour, it was good to be able to see some of the Cretan hinterland. There were some great views and, unlike some other tours, the driver actually stopped at vantage points so you could take photos. We stopped at some little village that really had nothing going for it, but it did give those who wanted to the opportunity to visit a loo. A stop at a larger village gave us the opportunity to get a decent coffee, look in the shops, and see some of the sites - the main one being a fountain…”
