OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our goal is to show you authentic Greece; a beautiful, safe to visit, relatively small but incredibly diverse and biodiverse country with thousands of miles of coastline, innumerable beaches and islands as well as high mountains and dense forests; a country brimming with famous ancient monuments associated with democracy, philosophy, theatre and so much more. Greece is a unique adventure and culture destination.

We avoid large hotel complexes, overcrowded and overdeveloped areas. We know the last few untouched destinations and the best season to visit them, we choose small, locally-owned accommodation and eco-friendly transport.

We operate in a responsible manner towards people and the environment, incorporating the principles of sustainable development and we promote the so-called responsible travel.

Our programs are designed by our experts and their feasibility has been tested many times.

You can join a guided small-group tour or choose a private departure, you can explore at your pace during a self-guided holiday or you can create your own guided or self-guided adventure.

We are experts in our field, uncompromising to our ideals and, above all, perfectionists in all our endeavors!
