Greece · MORNING
Good morning tours fill up weeks out and the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes, and how they actually differ.
Rhodes to Symi day cruise with a boat swim at St. George’s Bay, then 3 hours to explore Symi’s harbour and Yialos.
“We loved the day. From swimming in the bay to exploring Symi afterwards. Could do with a two day excursion with night over in Symi for more exploring and more swimming!”
Air-conditioned ride from Rhodes to Lindos, early arrival, 4 hours to explore, plus an easy photo stop on the way back.
“Nick was a great driver, chatted along the way and told us the history going into Lindos. Plenty of time to explore, easy to find at the end for departure, picked up from our hotel directly. Very reasonable and would recommend!”
Quad ride from Agia Pelagia with olive oil mill history, local tastings, and a golden-hour sunset drive along cliffs and quiet paths.
Early morning guided tour of the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum, beating crowds with a licensed guide and skip-the-line options.
“Petros was extremely knowledgeable and humorous; he didn’t just recite memorized information, but asked interactive questions and involved us in the tour. It wasn’t just a tour I enjoyed in the moment, but one from which I gained knowledge that will stay with me for a lifetime. Thank you!”
Air-conditioned transfer to Lindos with a scenic viewpoint stop and about 4 hours to explore village and beaches, optional Acropolis ticket.
“Was great, smooth pick up and drop off. Plenty of time to explore Lindos. Unfortunately there is no guide, however it does state that in the description so I cannot fault them for that. We booked a different trip with a guide. It’s great for solo/couples who would like to explore Lindos freely by themselves.”
Semi-private Athens morning food tour with 15+ tastings, Central Market stops, classic pies, cheeses, sweets, and lunch in about 4 hours
“Our guide, Niki, was very nice and told us a lot about the food. The food was incredible and there was a lot of it. The stop at the market was very memorable.”
A 4-hour Meteora morning tour with hotel pickup, an English guide, six monastery stops, three interior visits, and free audio guides.
“Vassilis aka Bill was an excelemt guide he provided us with more then enough datas and he anserwed all our questions mirjam eva and aleš were very pleased.”
Half-day catamaran from Adamas to Kalogries and Kleftiko, with sea caves, swimming, snorkeling gear, and a chef-made Greek lunch.
“Everything was amazing! Great guides, who were very knowledgeable. Clean boat, amazing views, and one of if not, the best meals I had in Greece by far! Highly recommend this activity.”
Glide through Rhodes Town on an e-bike with a small group, stop for iconic photos, learn the stories, then watch the sunset from a top view.
“It’s a great and fun way to see and learn about the area. Your guide takes you to some of the more hidden and most charming parts of town. Beautiful sunset on the beach to end the tour too.”
4 hours in Meteora from Kalabaka or Kastraki with a local English guide, smart audio, panoramic stops, and 3 monastery visits.
“An absolutely superb tour of the monasteries of Meteora and the surrounding landscapes! Our tour guide was really fantastic and gave so much information about the region and history from a Greek perspective. He also gave us lots of valuable information about the amazing country of Greece, including the recent and ongoing hardships. There were plenty of stops for photo opportunities and we visited 3 monasteries (about 40 minutes each). The monasteries are €3 per person in cash for entry and you need to have decent mobility as there are around 120 steps to two of the monasteries. The pick up was exactly as stated from Kalabaka and was on…”
Quad safari from Agia Pelagia with a mountain ghost town visit, a ride through olive groves, and a sea-view sunset plus raki and sweets.
“We really enjoyed the whole experience!! The guides were really friendly, and we visited some lovely places. Highly recommend!!”
Small-group Meteora morning tour from Kalabaka or Kastraki, visiting 6 monasteries and entering 3, with geology views and photo stops.
“Our tour to Meteora was truly amazing. Highly recommend it. Photos cannot capture the true unique beauty of the rock formations and monasteries. Tour operator had everything organized and running like clockwork. Recommend taking the morning tour before the crowds and heat. Lots of steps so be prepared for walking! Bring water.”
Half-day catamaran from Alimos to Vouliagmeni Bay for swimming and snorkeling, plus Greek lunch and limited wine and beer.
“Joanna was an amazing host, very attentive, cooked a great buffet lunch. The cruise took you around Athens to the south. We had free time to swim and snorkel twice. Highly recommend!”
Acropolis and museum in the morning, Cape Sounion and Poseidon temple in the afternoon, with Byron’s inscription. Coach tour, 9 hours.
“Second part of the tour I liked more. First part also was very informative. Thank you very much it was wonderful.”
Half-day catamaran cruise around Milos to Kleftiko with swimming, cave views, and a Greek lunch on board.
“This could have been a great experience but it should have been cancelled. The wind was so bad, 65 knots, that we could not do the activities as advertised. When I asked if they would let us cancel on the day, they said I could just not go but I wouldn't get a refund. Very unpleasant experience!!”
Pick the day first, then pick the boat.
