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.

Top questions

What exactly happens at the wine production site?

At the wine production site, you walk through the methods of local wine production and taste the wines made there—it's a working operation, not a museum, so you see how it's done and sample what comes out of it.

Is Myrtos Beach a place I swim at, or just photograph?

Myrtos Beach is a photo stop where you shoot from the vantage point—the swimming happens at Antisamos beach earlier in the day, where you have time in the water and can try water sports if you want them.

How much walking is involved in Fiskardo?

Fiskardo is a village walk with shopping and dining built in—you're on your feet moving through the streets and harbor area, but the pace is yours to set, and the day ends there, so there's no rush after.

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.

What's included in the price?

Hotel pickup, air-conditioned transport between all stops, soda and bottled water, and lunch and dinner in Fiskardo are included. Water sports equipment at Antisamos is available, and entry to the wine production site is part of the itinerary.

Can I bring a child under two?

Children are welcome from age one, and specialized infant seats are available in the vehicle—let the operator know the child's age when you book so the seat is ready.
