Steer away from the tourist path
Even though Greece is one of the most beloved destinations of Europe and the world, most visitors still cling to the top well-trodden tourist paths, often ignoring the rest of the immense cultural and natural wealth that the country has to offer.

- Self-guided itineraries allow travellers to explore at their own pace and leisure.
- Enjoy a diverse range of activities, including ancient ruins, medieval castles, local folklore, unique gastronomy, thermal springs, hiking and swimming.
- Immerse into the actual reality of each destination, well beyond the tourist showcase facade.
