What to expect
Join a private half-day tour to discover the Paros highlights. This captivating tour will start with you hopping on the modern mini-van that will take you around Paros, the island that is one of the primmest examples of Cycladic beauty.
You will be transported from your accommodation to your first stop, Parikia, the capital and the main port of the island. In Parikia, you will have the opportunity to walk alongside your local guide and explore the Old Agora. You will pass by the Frankish Castle and the Holy Temple of Panagia Ekatontapyliani, one of the oldest and best-preserved Christian temples, that is the trademark of Paros. Learn about the legend that follows the imposing church and seek out its fictitious but well-known 100th gate.
Following your stroll in Parikia, your next stop will take you to the “queen” of Paros’ nightlife, Naousa, with its traditional architecture and authenticity. There, you will stroll through its picturesque alleys. Its small port with the Venetian castle is enchanting. The boats, the small churches, and the colors of the sky and the sea complete the picture of Cycladic beauty.
Then you'll move onto Lefkes, a picturesque mountain village of Paros with a wonderful view. Walk in the alleys of Lefka, and let your tour guide show you the best sights. You are likely to come upon the welcoming locals that will be eager to share the story of their homeland.
Afterwards,you'll visit Piso Livadi and Alyki, where you will appreciate their harbors with fishing boats, and the numerous traditional taverns serving Parian dishes. Last but not least, your last stop will take place in Agioi Anargyroi during sunset for a photo shoot overlooking the bay of Parikia, before you're driven back to your accommodation.

The ancient Greeks left behind a treasure trove of monuments, statues and artefacts in Athens. And on this private tour, you'll take in all the top spots with an expert guide. Exclusively for you and your party, you'll tour highlights including the Roman Agora, Hadrian's Library, the Plaka neighbourhood and the UNESCO-listed Acropolis. Vassiliki, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Acropolis means “high city” and it usually refers to any settlement built on top of a hill. You'll find many towns in Greece that have an acropolis, but the Acropolis of Athens is certainly the most famous.'You'll start with a guided tour of the Acropolis – with skip-the-line tickets, there'll be no waiting around. Soak up wow-factor views over Athens at the Areopagus – a rocky hill where legend has it the Greek gods would hold court. Let your guide bring history to life as you marvel at ancient landmarks like the Roman Agora, the Theatre of Dionysus and the still-standing columns of the Asklepieion and Parthenon. Then, it's on to the city's Instagram-worthy old quarter, Plaka – the capital's most appealing and historic neighbourhood. Always thronged with a mix of locals and visitors, the pedestrianised lanes are brimming with tavernas whose tables spill onto the streets. Vassiliki says, ‘Athenians call this area “the neighbourhood of the Gods,' as it has been inhabited since the days of ancient Greece. In fact, excavations show that the street layout has barely changed since antiquity.'
