My wife and I booked a tour of Athens and the surrounding area with Odynovo. We worked with Bruce Peng at Odynovo to arrange a private experience for an introduction to Greece.
Upon arrival at the Athens airport, we were met by our local guide who led us to our private vehicle and driver, Yioryos. Our first stop was at Constitution Square to see the changing of the guards at the House of Parliament. The rest of the day was a drive through Athens with a focus on the Acropolis. We visited the Acropolis museum followed by a walk to the Acropolis to see the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, and the Parthenon. A fabulous immersion into ancient Greek history.
Day 2 was a day trip to Delphi to visit the archeology site and museum. We met our local guide who provided helpful explanations of the artifacts and temples. Afterward, we strolled through the picturesque town of Arachova which was absolutely beautiful. On Day 3, we boarded a cruise boat that took us to the islands of Aegina and Poros. The tour also included the island of Hydra. Unfortunately, the seas were too rough to dock there. But on the bright side it gave us more time to explore the other islands. Our final day was a day trip to the Peloponnees. Yioryos transported us to meet our local guide. We had visits to the archeological sites of Epidaurus and Mycenae and the Archeology Museum. From there, we travelled to the town of Nafplio and enjoyed a wonderful lunch. The next morning, Yioryos transferred us to the Athens airport where we said "Τα λέμε!" (until next time) to Greece.
We enjoyed our brief trip and are anxious to get back. All arrangements for hotel, transport, and guides were arranged by Odynovo. We incurred no issues during this trip. We have had many travels arranged by Odynovo starting in 2018 and we highly recommend them!
