Sightseeing all around the mainland of
Greece, Athens by taxi ...
If
you are in a group of three or more people it is cheaper to use
us than to go on the guided tour bus and more convenient since
we
will be more flexible and less stressful than self-drive.
On the right of the page, after discussions with a lot of
people, here are the pros and cons, using all available
methods, for touring in Greece.
Also you can see (below) with details all the places
we recommend
you should visit (if you have the time) in Greece. Some of them
you can explore from Athens with half day or full day tours.
Also you could travel to all of these destinations (and further)
with an overnight stay, which is better than daily tours because
you don’t have to return to Athens and be stuck in the traffic. Instead you will spend
every night at a different beautiful traditional
Greek village or town. Definitely a lifetime
experience.
