Athens Taxi and Minivan - Minibus Private Tours, Airport Transfers. English Speaking driver.

There are many ways to tour Greece and I can offer you the best and safest way. When you go to Athens, what could be better than knowing that you have someone waiting for you at the airport to help you with your luggage and drive you to your hotel? Or if you are taking a cruise and you are stopping at Piraeus port and you want to spend a few hours or the whole day in Athens touring the city, I will be there to pick you up in the morning and drop you off when your ship departs.

I will also transfer you from the airport, hotel, port, or other transportation hubs, so you can comfortably and reliably catch another flight, ship, cruise or bus if your itinerary requires one. This will buy you peace of mind, since you will not have to worry about the details of securing a ride to each location. In a foreign city, such a service can prove priceless.

	*About us* My name is Paul and I have spent more than twenty-five years in the United States (in New Jersey). My goal is to provide the highest level of satisfaction to my customers, and offer the best value for touring Greece. I can promise you that if you take a journey with me, whether it is a day trip or a week long excursion around the country, you will come back with a better understanding of Greece, and you will have perhaps the best vacation of your life. *Greece* A country of southeast Europe on the southern Balkan Peninsula and including numerous islands in the Mediterranean, Aegean, and Ionian seas. Settled by Achaeans, Aeolians, Ionians, Minoans, and Dorians by 1000 B.C., the region grew as an amalgam of independent city-states, many of which established colonies throughout the Mediterranean by the eighth century B.C. Classical Greek culture, centered around Athens, reached a high point in the fifth century B.C. before being conquered by Philip II of Macedon in 338 B.C. The area was later controlled by the Roman and Byzantine empires before being absorbed into the Ottoman empire (1456). In 1821, Greece gained its independence and established a constitutional monarchy. The king was deposed following a military coup in April 21st 1967, and a democratic republic was established in 1974. Athens is the capital and the largest city. Population: 11,000,000. If you are wondering when is the best time to come to Greece, from the point of view of things to see and do, any time of the year is the answer. The tourist season lasts from April to November, peaking in August. In general, the best months are April, May, June, September, October and November. Consider very seriously a winter holiday in Greece. In winter you can enjoy the city and the country side without the many tourists who traditionally visit in the summer. *Athens* *Suggested tours which can be altered according to your wishes* Full Day Athens Tour: includes a visit to: The Acropolis, The National Archaeological Museum,The Tower of Winds, The Old palace,The Greek and Roman Agora, The Tomb of The Unknown Soldier in front of the Parliament and the Changing of The guards, The Temple of Zeus, The Olympic stadium (the original stadium built in 1863 for the first modern Olympic games in 1896), The Hill of Lycabetous, The Plaka where you will spend time for shopping and have lunch in a nice restaurant.

An a clear day you can see at least seven Islands. Lunch or Dinner and back to Athens. *Peloponnese* It is almost an island but not quite. It is one of the most beautiful regions in the country. It is full of historic sites and ancient ruins. Its seas are of the bluest blue. Its villages are pearl white jewels hidden by flowers and trees. Its landscapes are breathtaking. It is Peloponnese. There are many sites you can visit on one-day excursion basis, within easy reach of Athens. Some of the sites you can visit in Peloponnese are: Ancient Corinth, Acrocorith, and the canal, Mycenae, Nemea, Nafplion, The Theater of Epidaurus, Ancient Sparta and Mysrtras, Olympia, Kalavrita, The Cave of the lakes-kastria, The Caves of Diros, Monemvasia, Kalamata, Pylos, Lousios Gorge, Dimitsana, Pylos, Koroni, etc. *Northern Greece* Macedonia pertains to the Greek history and culture for 4,000 years. Around the middle of the 4th century B.C. Macedonia became the leading power of the Greek World thanks to King Philip II, who declared himself the Leader of a Greek Confederacy. His dream of a Pan Hellenic expedition against the Persians was destined to come true by his son, Alexander the Great, who took his army to the banks of Indos River. Greek art is thus expanded to the depths of East and is assimilated by local populations along with the memory of Alexander. The Great King shall survive through legends until the middle Ages and the European Renaissance. Sites that you can visit are: The Oracle of Delphi, Monasteries of Meteora, Thessaloniki, Vergina, Volos, Pelion, Dion, Mountain Olympus, Philippi, Kavala etc. *Out door activities: I suggest a two day tour to Olympia and Lousios Gorge, a beautiful combination of history with nature.* *Hiking in Lousios Gorge, a beautiful canyon in the Peloponnese. Visit the ‘cliff-hanging’ monasteries.* This is a bit off the beaten track. For those that like to go hiking this is a great place to visit. A five (5) kilometer gorge with several hiking trails, and a very good bridge crossing Lousios river. You can walk from one village to another following a dirt road through the mountains in beautiful scenery that even has some small waterfalls. The Lousios river is where Zeus used to bath himself, In the spectacular densely vegetated gorge and in the river’s crystal clear waters.
