A different tour with a mix of sites & experiences plus real Greek food. This is by far the most highly-rated Private tour with more than 130 excellent TA reviews! An authentic experience not to miss!
OK, you’ve seen Athens! Maybe Delphi, Mycenae, Epidavros, and Meteora. All awesome!
How about visiting some amazing places that most “tourists” and even locals miss out on? Engage on a private trip for up to 8 people to the Cave of Lakes & Odontotos Rack Railway but also the archaeological site of Ancient Corinth or Mega Spilaio Monastery.
Why this tour?
☼ Because you will explore, walk, breathe, talk, and eat like a local; you will completely surrender to the beauty of real Greece with this “different” tour.
☼ You will enjoy the “special moments” that are spontaneous and not included in the itinerary! A unique tour that almost none of your friends who have visited Greece would know about.
☼ This tour is about people and we have always been good with people!
☼ We skip the obvious places and we do not compromise the quality of the tour for any reason.
First, a quick stop at the Corinth Canal. It connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island.
Next, the archaeological site of Corinth lies on the northern foothills of the Acrocorinth hill (Acropolis of Corinth), around the Archaic Temple of Apollo. Extended excavations have brought to light the Roman Forum, temples, fountains, porticoes, baths, latrines, and various other monuments.
In the rhythm of the music of water small and larger lakes follow one another.
The Cave of Lakes, at an altitude of 827 meters, combines in an admirable way, ageless natural beauty, with the remains of habitation and myth. The myth says that Lysippe, Ifinoe, and Ifianassa, the daughters of the king of Tiryns, found refuge in the cave when they were obsessed with madness. The Cave of the Lakes is a rare creation of nature with mysterious galleries and stalactite formations.
About 120 years ago Odontotos rack railway started from the seaside town of Diakopto parallel to the river and climbed to Kalavrita through bridges and tunnels. Since then, the Vouraikos River and Odontotos have gone together. The little train incorporated so well into the natural environment that it seemed that it had always been there. Using stone and wood from the area the technicians’ work is so perfect that someone may think that nature worked on its own. A train ride you will never forget!
The Vouraikos Gorge forms a deep and incredibly beautiful gorge. It starts between Helmos and Panachaikos mountains and it reaches the Diakopto seaside town. Vouraikos River springs from the mountains in Kalavrita and exits at the Corinthian Gulf next to the beach of Diakopto. The gorge is rich in flora and fauna and it is part of the network Natura 2000.
This private tour will leave you with some great images and memories for sure!
