Did you know that we are only 2 miles away from the main land of Greece? It would be such a shame to be so close and not visit The Greek Ancient capital of Athens. This tour gives you an opportunity to observe the striking contrasts that make Athens such a fascinating city. Our expert guides take you to see the most important aspects of the city centre.
The tour includes Constitution Square (Syntagma), the House of Parliament, the Memorial to the Unknown Soldier, and the National Library. Driving down Herod Atticus Street, you will see the Evzones in their picturesque uniforms and the Presidential Palace. On your way to the Acropolis, you will view Hadrian's Arch, visit the Temple of Olympian Zeus, and make a short stop at the Panathinaiko Stadium, where the first Olympic Games of the modern era were held in 1896.
The visit to the Acropolis includes some of the most magnificent architectural masterpieces of the Golden Age, including the Propylaea, the basis of the Temple of Athena Nike (since the temple itself has been disassembled and is being restored), the Erechtheion, and finally, the Parthenon, a true synthesis of the harmony between material and spirit. Please have your cameras ready for the most fantastic photograph of the panoramic view of Athens
Skiathos / Troulos area
Meteora: One of the most amazing places in Greece, if not the world is Meteora. If you have seen pictures of Greece then you have certainly been impressed by the monasteries perched on top of enormous rocks and have probably wondered how on earth they built them. The rocks themselves are impressive, rising from the plains of Thessaly. In fact the producers of James Bond found them so impressive that they had Roger Moore (or his stunt double) climb the stone face of one in the movie "For Your Eyes Only".
The word Meteora means literally 'hovering in the air'. What created this rare geological phenomenon is one of the mysteries of nature and there are many theories though they remain theories and none have been proven. But as amazing a marvel of nature as these giant rocks are the buildings on the top of these are a marvel of man and seem just as miraculous and make Meteora one of the most spectacular places to visit in Greece.
The area of Meteora, was originally settled by monks who lived in caves within the rocks during the 11th Century. They were then joined by the first Monastic community who by the 16th century had built over 20 monasteries. Now a days there are only 6 monasteries and we visit two of these on our day out. Our expert guide takes you through the monasteries telling you about the history, religion and the architecture, these monasteries not only provide incredible views, they are full of religious treasures, wall paintings, icons and libraries rich in old manuscripts. Before returning back to Skiathos we visit the town of Kalambaki, which is nestling at the foot of the rocks. The name Kalambaka comes from the Turkish word Kalembaki which means beautiful fortress. The town itself was destroyed by the Germans in World War Two so it is pretty modern. You have enough time for lunch.
I am sure when you return you will agree with us that Meteora really should be the 8th wonder of the world - A great photo opportunity.
Aegean Blue: 3 Islands in 1 day, it's a holiday within a holiday. We offer you the chance to come along with us on our day out to the un-touched islands of Skopelos and Alonissos. The boat "Agios Nikolaos" departs the Port of Skiathos and heads to the harbor of Skopelos town. The guide then takes all Olympic guests on a town walk through the narrow streets telling you the history and traditions of the island. You will have free time for shopping and exploring the numerous churches on the Island. Make sure you try the famous local cheese pies.
Then on to Alonissos and the islands main port of Patitiri, to see how Greece was before tourism arrived. Enjoy the laid back atmosphere and for all you culture vultures you can visit the ruins in the old capital which was devastated by an earthquake in 1965. If that's not enough Alonissos is the home of the Marine Park, so keep your cameras handy as the friendly dolphins keep you entertained by playing and showing off.
Secret Skiathos: As they say 1 day on a boat is equal to 3 days on the beach. Our secret Skiathos is the ideal day out for all you sun worshippers out there. We combine the open waters with the beautiful beaches and the islands highlights. We sale the entire way around Skiathos with our expert guides pointing out all of the 66 beaches and how you can get to them independently. Visit the Mythological arch at Lalaria, swimming through the arch of eternal youth. Visit the beach and fortress of Kastro and stop at other beaches long the way. Depending on the weather they will try to get over to the mainland of Greece. An absolute must of your holiday and at such a fantastic price - you can't beat it.
Catamaran Adventure: Feel like a celebrity for the day on our exclusive catamaran. We sail through the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea, whilst relaxing on the deck or even on the boom nets for the more adventurous ones amongst us. Ifs an ideal day for swimming and sunbathing. Snorkelling equipment is provided on board, so you can enjoy the underwater life surrounding our neighbouring islands, dive for the amazing shells and once you have worked up an appetite Captain George will serve you lunch. Lunch, white wine and soft drinks are included in the price. A truly relaxing day out.
Snorkelling: A fun day out for everybody and the chance to experience something totally different. Why not try our snorkelling adventure under the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea. The day is both for beginners and the experienced. The instructors will give full instruction before taking you to carefully chosen locations on the southern side of the island. In the water you will discover the delights of the world beneath the waves. A light buffet lunch is served on board with soft drinks. All equipment is provided So for a fantastic day out with a difference, why not take the plunge.
Sunset Cruise: Picture the scene - A desolate table set on a beach in a charming traditional Greek village, I know what you're thinking "Paradise!" We set sail every Sunday evening from the port in Skiathos town - cruising along all of the south coast of Skiathos until we arrive at the most southern point of the island, we drop anchor and enjoy a glass of white wine whilst watching the most spectacular sunset over Mount Pelion. Once all photographs are taken we continue on our journey into the village of Katigiorgis, which sits on the main land of Greece. We then settle at the beach side tables and are served a traditional meal in one of the delightful tavernas. With enough time to eat, drink, mingle and relax under the twinkling stars. What more can you ask for.
