Our Driver Rocked!

Published on Oct, 2024

What a great experience, thanks to Babis for creating a memorable day. The early slowpoke drive to Corinth was due to unexpected rush hour traffic, but Babis made the most of our time once we reached the archeological ruins. It was amazing to see the museum and several sites that were still distinguishable. Onward to Athens, we were given precise instructions about where to meet back after Acropolis stop. The inclines and rocky surfaces were perfectly managed by us four golden agers, and once on top, the amazing ruins did not disappoint. Babis suggested a lunch stopping point, but we indicated that we'd wait until returning to the ship. Babis strategically used the ample remaining time to drive past many wonderful landmarks including the Zeus Temple, the Presidential Palace, The Panathenaic Stadium, Athens City Hall, Hellenic Parliament, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (with changing of the guard), The National Library and other significant sites. It was a win-win day for all of us and the October cooler weather was a bonus, too.

Amazing Day in Athens and Corinth

Published on Sep, 2024

We had a fantastic day with Stefanos from Olive Sea Travel, who was knowledgeable, professional, prompt, and courteous! From the hotel pickup to the drop off at the end of the day, everything was taken care of and all we had to do was enjoy the tour and take in all that Athens and Corinth had to offer, made all the easier with the expert knowledge provided by Stefanos. Extra convenience was provided by Olive Sea Travel purchasing our Acropolis tickets in advance, and Stefanos efficiently squired us to all the sites while managing to avoid the heat and crowds (as much as possible given the time of year and number of visitors in Athens). Cold water was provided throughout the day, and the car provided a smooth and comfortable ride. It was a fantastic day - Stefanos and Olive Sea Travel truly created an immersive and memorable experience for our first time in Athens! Highly recommend!

True Greek Experience

Published on Jul, 2024

We had an amazing trip. Our tour guide and our driver scheduled our visits to a t. They helped us miss the crowds, not be destroyed by the heat, and they gave us a true Greek experience.

Wonderful!
