The experience

Myrtos Beach anchors the day. You'll photograph it from the vantage point, then move through the island's quieter corners. The route takes in a pre-earthquake village where you can walk and shoot, a working wine production site where you taste and learn the methods, and Antisamos beach, where you swim, try water sports, and rest with coffee and drinks included. The vehicle is air-conditioned and picks you up from your hotel, so the logistics of moving between stops are handled.

Antisamos is where the day opens up: you have time to swim, try water sports if you want them, or simply sit with a coffee. The beach sits on the itinerary for a reason. It's the kind of stop where an hour can stretch or compress depending on what you feel like doing. After that, Fiskardo closes the day. You walk through the village, shop if something catches your eye, and have lunch and dinner there. The picturesque harbor and narrow streets are built for wandering, and the meal is part of the plan.

Because this is a private tour without a guide, you move at your own speed through each stop. You're not following a script or keeping to a group's pace. Soda and bottled water travel with you, and the air-conditioned vehicle means the heat between stops doesn't wear you down over eight to ten hours. Children from age one are welcome, and the itinerary suits all fitness levels, though the day involves walking at several stops and time on your feet in villages and at the beach.

Do I need a guide, or do I explore on my own?

This tour is not guided. You explore each stop at your own pace and decide how long to spend. If you'd prefer a guide to narrate the sights and history, let the operator know when you book and they can arrange one.
