Private day trip from Athens or Nafplio to Corinth, the Cave of Lakes, and the Vouraikos train, with lunch and flexible options.
“Great day trip out of Athens. Nikos was knowledgable and an excellent guide! Would definitely recommend!”
Train from Athens to Mt. Olympus with Dion ruins, Platamonas Castle, a short Enipeas hike, and free time in Litochoro for food.
“Damien was great! We loved the tour of Mt Olympus and Dion. The lunch was very good but not great if you have allergies. Castle was not worth a stop and was definitely just a time filler while we waited for the train back to Athens. All of the history was so wonderful and seeing Mt Olympus was great but not sure if it was worth the 8 hour (4 hours each way) train ride. If we had time, I would have wanted to hike more of the Mt Olympus national park so would have done a 2 day stay in that area of Greece.”
Take the Athens to Meteora train tour with an overnight in Kalambaka, guided monastery visits, sunset views, and optional hiking.
“Our guide Tony was fantastic. He has spent his whole life around the monasteries and even knows some of the monks. He loves Meteora and shared many personal stories.”
Private Meteora day trip from Athens by train, with a guided minibus tour to six monasteries and interiors in three, plus coffee in Kalambaka.
“Christos was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable of the monasteries and the surrounding area. In our 4 hour window we were able to visit 3 of the 6 monasteries, more than enough, the rest we were satisfied with just seeing from viewpoints which Christos knew the best places for optimal viewing. Be prepared for the number of steps to visit, our first had 300 each way, 2nd had 200 each way, and last had 165 each way. The other most popular one closed on Mondays would have had significantly more. We were exhausted after the steps and the heat of the day, reaching 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Perhaps Sept would…”

“Las vistas a los Monasterios son hermosos. Yo creo q si hubiera sido el viaje x tren como originalmente lo anunciaron sería formidable . Nos tocó irnos en autobús y fue realmente cansado”

Private Athens day trip to Ancient Corinth, the Vouraikos Gorge cog railway, and Lakes Cave, with Kalavryta lunch stop.
“George was amazing! The train was down from a landslide but he still made the trip worth every bit.”
Private 9-hour trip from Athens to Kalavryta by rack railway, Kastria Cave of the Lakes, monasteries, and Corinth Canal with onboard WiFi.
“We took the train and the view on the railroad is awesome, and Corinth canal is very impressive. Cave of lake took hours to get there and only 10 mins visit but it’s really worth it.”
