Athens: Souvlaki & Wine Tasting Dinner Tour, Groups to 8You meet your guide at Syntagma Square and walk to Agias Irinis for souvlaki, then taste four Greek wines with cheese at a wine bar, return to Syntagma for a full dinner with your choice of main course and traditional spirits, and finish with gelato. The whole evening is planned around the restaurants and bars themselves, not around moving you through them quickly.Is it for me?Book this if you want to eat the way Athenians do after dark without spending your evening figuring out which restaurant to choose or what to order — the guide and the restaurants handle that, leaving you free to taste and talk.
Corinth & Acrocorinth: Apostle Paul’s Route Private TourYou’ll walk in Apostle Paul’s footsteps through ancient Corinth—stand at his Bema, gaze down into the blue cut of the Corinth Canal, wander ruins touched by centuries of belief shifts, and climb Acrocorinth’s windy fortress walls.
