Greek Island Private Tours
HYDRA – SPETSES – ZAKYNTHOS – AEGINA – LEFKADA – ELAFONISOS
Our private Greek island tours DO NOT include the touristy ones. We value being in places shared by both tourists and locals, which allows us to escape the panic, rush, and unreasonable pricing, as well as the services, of islands catering exclusively to tourists.

Our island tours feature a selection of highly upscale destinations, such as Hydra or Aegina, whether as part of a simple day trip or a multi-day itinerary. This does not mean that you can’t or won’t visit touristy Mykonos and Santorini, which surely do not need our introduction. We even include tips about how to visit (or not) if you keep reading this.
Our private single-day trips to the Greek islands include Hydra and Aegina. They are easy to access from Athens and ideal private day trips to islands which are not made for tourists only! Their offerings are limitless and more than you can expect from the “famous” Greek islands. Zakynthos Island is part of our 5-Day Best of Ancient Greece & Zakynthos Island multi-day tour.
Views, amazing blue water, food & drink, boat tours, swimming, more relaxed pace, not shoulder-to-shoulder, not crazy expensive, more authentic food, better service since they have to … deal with Greeks too (and not 100% tourists)!

Private Day Tour to Aegina, the “Pistachio” Island
If you are in Athens, a private tour of Aegina Island is one of the best full-day getaways to authentic destinations, without the “hordes of tourists,” yet with small-scale beauty and simplicity. The island itself, the biggest church and monastery of St. Nektarios, the Temple of Athina Aphaia with its amazing views, and the fishing villages to enjoy lunch and drinks by the water.
