★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 5,137 reviews · 7h 30m · from $35Our pick

Join the Odyssey boat in Kos Harbour for a 7.5-hour cruise to Kalymnos, Plati, and Pserimos. You get a one-hour stop in Vathi, a Greek buffet lunch, swimming in clear water, low-cost cocktails, and a chance to spot dolphins near the fish farms. The English-speaking crew keeps the day easygoing rather than rowdy.

“Great day trip sailing to the islands of Vathy, Pserimos and the Blue Lagoon. The captain and crew were wonderful. Lunch was tasty and the cash bar decent. Great value for money — we went with low expectations and returned happy that we went! Leah & Bruce Canada”

From Chania: Full-Day Samaria Gorge Trek Excursion & Guide

4.Full-Day Samaria Gorge Trek Excursion & Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,191 reviews · 9 - 12 hours · from $41

Join an early full-day trip from Chania to Samaria Gorge, with bus transfers, an English-speaking guide, and a 17-kilometer rocky descent through the White Mountains. Guides such as Sara and Christina help you manage the route, while the beach, taverns, and ferry from Agia Roumeli provide a welcome finish.

“So five minutes before we were supposed to start the gorge they decided to close it. This was very disappointing. However, our guide offered us an alternative option of walking Imbros Gorge instead. This was much easier but still a nice day out. It was particularly interesting to learn that Imbros was used by the allied troops to evacuate during WWII. Afterwards we were taken to Hora Sphakia which was a beautiful little town. I appreciated the organisation of the tour and the ability to pivot and offer us an alternative day trip so the day wasn't wasted.”

From Athens: Delphi Full Day V.R. Audio Guided Tour

5.Delphi Full Day V.R. Audio Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,028 reviews · 10 hours · from $30Best value

You’ll travel from Athens to Delphi by air-conditioned bus, then explore the sanctuary, museum, and mountain villages with a multilingual audio guide and VR device. Guides such as George, Angela, Sotiris, and Griselda add history and humor during the ride. Expect a long day, plenty of walking, and about 2.5 hours at Delphi.

“Our guide, Christopher, was very kind and patient. He made sure we knew exactly what the pick up area looked like. More exact description of what part of the plaza the pick up area was located in would have been helpful, but we found it. Delphi is a hike! The audio tour is OK, but limited. Also hard to see VR display in direct sunlight. Lunch was great and so was our driver! Transportation alone (which is mostly what you get) was worth the price. Great option if you want to see this site as a day trip.”

She shared great information about the history, mythology and art both through the landscape we drove through and to prepare us for what we were about to see. easy to get to the tour bus via metro - very comfortable ride. mycenae was fantastic and the timing felt perfect though we missed the secret sistern. we only got a taste of nafplio. I wish there had been a bit more information to help us decide how to spend the 2 hours in nafplio for example either a suggested walking route or the idea of getting a taxi to palamidi fortress. this was the one stop…”
