The excursion is great, a swim on the beach, a deposit, and a sunset. Guide Orpheas and the driver very well.
Aranaque. To escape.

Activity cancelled the same day. The reimbursement procedure was laborious. It lasted half a day. The claimant was referring us to viator. Viator could not be contacted by phone or email. After many tests, a cat response was provided by viator. Viator asked us to contact the supplier. On the viator site it was impossible to cancel without charge on the same day. A ping pong of rejection of responsibility. To escape.
Great experience

We had a great day, only 2 of us on the tour so we had a flexible schedule and saw great variety of historical archeological sites as well as a refreshing swim at Lake Vouliagmeni Corrinth (not the one near Athens). Completed the tour with a gorgeous sunset at the lighthouse near Heraion site. The 2 guides were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Thanks
