Activities

Patmos, a tiny Greek island lost in the midst of the Dodecanese, exudes an air of mystery. It was here, in the year 95, that the apostle John, exiled on the island, had and recorded his vision of the apocalypse, leaving a lasting mark on this rugged piece of... more+ land. Centuries later, the monastery-fortress dedicated to the apostle and the Cave of the Apocalypse remain just as enigmatic.
Sanctuaries, churches, convents... Patmos is full of religious places, but none catch the eye as much as the Monastery of Saint John, which crowns the whitewashed village of Chorá. Founded in 1088, the monastery resembles a fortress, visible from miles around. The complex houses a remarkable collection of manuscripts, icons, objects, and Byzantine liturgical works, while the Theotokos chapel, adjacent to the monastery, features 12th-century frescoes.
Between Chorá and Skalá, the Cave of the Apocalypse is revealed. The last chapter of the New Testament was revealed to the apostle John within its walls. The cave was the home of the evangelist – you can still see where he slept and the stone lectern on which Prochoros, his disciple, wrote under his dictation – and is now surrounded by a monastery and a theology school.
The last stop, the three mills perched on the hill of Chorá, offer a breathtaking panoramic view of the island and the endless sea.
This excursion is not recommended for those with difficulty walking. The coach will drop you at the foot of the old town, and the monastery is accessible on foot via cobbled streets. Throughout the excursion, you will have to climb and descend about a hundred steps. Appropriate clothing is required for visiting religious sites: shoulders and knees must be covered. Photography is prohibited in the chapel and the cave.
 
included
This charming mountain island reveals its history through its streets and colorful houses. Stroll along the quays of Symi's lower town before rising to overlook the bay.
With its amphitheatric harbor on the mountainside, Symi and its colorful neoclassical... more+ houses are one of the most beautiful sites on the Dodecanese islands. Considered the birthplace of the Three Graces in Greek mythology, Symi played an important role in the Roman and Byzantine empires. Occupied by the Hospitallers in 1373, it reached its peak under the Ottoman Empire, when shipbuilding and trade made the island relatively prosperous.
Let yourself be charmed by the port district of Gialos, with its quays lined with picturesque houses with multicolored facades. If you wish, at the end of the guided tour you can drive to the upper town or climb the 500 steps up the main street of Kali Strata, which offers superb views of the coast and turquoise waters. We advise you to wear comfortable clothes and walking shoes.
 
included
A preserved island, Amorgos attracts nature and "Big Blue" lovers, much like Luc Besson, who filmed his eponymous movie here. This strikingly rugged mountain is home to quaint villages and historic monasteries nestled in a stunningly mineral landscape.... more+ Let’s take a tour.
First stop: the unmissable Byzantine monastery of Hozoviotissa, perched on the side of a dizzying cliff. Founded in 1088 by Emperor Alexios Komnenos and dedicated to the patron saint of Amorgos, it houses precious icons and rare manuscripts.
Next, head to Chora, a quintessential Cycladic village dominated by a castle. After savoring local pastries paired with ouzo or raki, enjoy strolling through this maze of cobblestone streets, lined with typical houses draped in bougainvillea, sun-drenched pre-Christian or Byzantine churches, and, higher up, windmills standing sentinel over the landscape. Or simply relax in this whitewashed haven under the shade of an eucalyptus tree on the main square, Plateia Lozza.
This excursion involves walking. To access the monastery's interior, you need to climb 269 steps. Visitors who prefer not to walk up to the monastery can still enjoy the panoramic view from the parking lot. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and sturdy walking shoes. Modest attire is required to visit the monastery. Men must wear trousers. Women must have their shoulders covered and wear a long skirt.
 
included
Between limestone cliffs sculpted by the elements, secluded coves inviting tranquility, ancient ruins, and whitewashed villages, let yourself be enchanted by the captivating beauty of northern Milos.
A volcanic island among the most spectacular in the... more+ Cyclades due to its unique geology, Milos promises a one-of-a-kind experience. Beneath its azure skies, every road, path, and trail reveals breathtaking panoramas. After a short drive, Sarakiniko rises before you. Enjoy the serenity of its pristine cove, shaped by past volcanic eruptions.
Further south, Trypiti unveils its finest ancient treasures. Stroll through the recently restored Roman marble theater, featuring seven complete rows of seats offering a unique view of the bay. Nearby lies the site where the Venus de Milo was discovered in 1820 (now displayed at the Louvre Museum in Paris).
The road winding along the northern coast then leads to Plaka. This traditional Cycladic village, nestled against the hillside, welcomes you with its narrow streets and immaculate houses. At the top, the Church of Korfiatissa reveals a stunning panorama, with an endless sea bathed in the golden light of sunset. Enjoy free time in Plaka before returning to the port.
This excursion involves about 1 hour and 45 minutes of walking on cobblestone streets and uneven paths. We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and protecting yourself from the sun. All visits are exterior only. The site where the Venus de Milo was discovered is not accessible.
 
included
Considered “the most sacred of all islands” in ancient Greek culture, Delos is said to be the birthplace of Apollo, the Sun god, and his twin sister Artemis, the Moon goddess, according to legend. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the island is both... more+ the oldest and largest open-air archaeological site in Europe.
Rising from a carpet of scorched grass, the ruins – numerous houses, temples, and sacred sanctuaries – stretch at the foot of Mount Cynthus, the island's lone hill, peaking at 113 meters. At its summit stands the sanctuary of Zeus and Athena, dating back to the 3rd century BC, while its slopes are dotted with cultural structures dedicated to various Eastern deities. Frozen by two millennia of abandonment, the city forms an impressive maze of white stone, inviting visitors to wander as pilgrims and merchants once did when Delos was a beacon in the Aegean.
Next, you will visit the sanctuary of Apollo, known as the Temple of the Athenians, where you can admire the various temples dedicated to the gods, their altars, votive offerings, and other edifices. You’ll also explore the Terrace of the Lions, with its famous white marble sculptures guarding and overlooking the city.
The visit continues to the Theater District, the most luxurious part of the ancient city, featuring homes such as the "House of Dionysus," the "House of Cleopatra," and the "House of the Dioscuri." Admire the mosaics that decorate the floors of Hellenistic-era homes, as well as the streets, workshops, and shops that once made Delos a bustling city.
This tour is entirely on foot. Comfortable walking shoes and sun protection are recommended. The museum has recently reopened after renovations.
 
included
With its hilltop villages, windmills, vineyards, charming little port, and famous Byzantine church, the island of Paros is full of charm. Wander through its alleys, admire its buildings, and visit a winery for a delightful taste of the island.

You’ll... more+ travel along the island’s winding roads to reach Lefkes, a whitewashed village built in an amphitheater shape atop a hill, offering stunning panoramic views of the surroundings. The town hall, crafted from Paros’ renowned marble, is particularly noteworthy.

Next, you’ll visit the Moraïtis Winery, which has been run by four generations of winemakers. You’ll discover the production area and the cellar where the wine ages in oak barrels and amphorae. The tour concludes with a wine tasting accompanied by local snacks.

You’ll then head to the port of Naoussa, considered one of the most beautiful villages in the Cyclades. Despite the rise in tourism, the village has retained its authenticity, with its flower-adorned whitewashed houses, small churches, and white chapels nestled within a labyrinth of narrow cobblestone streets.

Your final stop is Parikia, where you’ll visit the famous Basilica of Panaghia Katapoliani, also known as Ekatontapyliani, or “the church of a hundred doors.” Founded in the 4th century and completed over subsequent centuries, it is one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in the Orthodox world and one of Greece’s most important Byzantine monuments.

This excursion involves about two hours of walking on flat but uneven terrain, with a few steps. We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and protecting yourself from the sun.
 
included
In Paros, a discreet neighbor of Mykonos and Santorini, the charm of the Cyclades is displayed in all its gentleness and timelessness. Between golden beaches and pine forests, discover the historic villages of Parikia, Naoussa, and Lefkes, as well as the... more+ sublime Byzantine basilica of Panaghia Katapoliani.

Founded in the 4th century, the Katapoliani Church, also known as Ekatontapyliani, is one of the most beautiful early Christian monuments in Greece. Located in the heart of Parikia, the basilica was nicknamed “Our Lady of the Hundred Doors” in the 17th century, a nod to the grandeur of the Temple of the Hundred Gates (Ekatonpylon) in ancient Thebes, Egypt.

A few kilometers away, on the heights of the island, discover Lefkes, the former capital of the island, with its labyrinth of whitewashed streets and staircases covered in bougainvillea. Here, you will find the old washing places still in use by some residents, the House of Literature, the picturesque Ramnos street, its tavernas and shops, as well as the stunning view of the sea and Naxos in the background.

Next, head to the north of the island and Naoussa, a fishing village and the perfect Cycladic postcard. Here, lime-washed houses are adorned with blue doors and shutters, octopuses dry on clotheslines, and small bars and tavernas sport a trendy atmosphere. But it is especially the Venetian castle, built in the 15th century by the Sommaripa dynasty, that catches the eye. Rising from the sea, behind the port and its traditional boats, it offers an impressive view of the azure sea.

This bus excursion involves moderate walking on flat ground, with some stairs to the Panaghia Katapoliani basilica. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and protecting yourself from the sun. Appropriate attire is recommended for visiting religious sites: shoulders and knees must be covered.

Sufficiently remote to preserve its wild character and shrouded in a mysterious aura thanks to the presence of the Fort of Saint John and the Cave of the Apocalypse, the island of Patmos is a paradise for photographers. Here, nature, architecture, and... more+ traditions intertwine, making every scene of daily life a new landscape.

Perched atop the island's heights, Chora, a small medieval village, overlooks Patmos with its imposing fortress of ochre-colored walls. All around, a narrow maze of whitewashed houses, centuries-old churches, and tiny shops offers, at every twist of an alley or small square, a canvas of contrasts, geometry, and sometimes panoramic views, sure to captivate lovers of stunning imagery.

At Diakofti, on Petra Beach, the Kalikatsos Rock carves unique shapes on the pebbles and into the neighboring azure waters. Just a short distance away, a small shipyard provides a glimpse into the construction of traditional boats.

This excursion includes approximately 2 kilometers (1.25 miles) of walking on cobblestone paths and occasionally uneven terrain. We recommend wearing walking shoes as well as comfortable clothing, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. You will be accompanied by an English-speaking local guide; their commentary will not be translated. Don’t forget your camera to capture the stunning views offered during this excursion. Please note that the observation of workers and boats in the dry dock is not guaranteed. This excursion is limited to 15 participants.

Explore the religious treasures of Patmos on a journey through the footsteps of Saint John the Evangelist. From the eponymous monastic fortress to the Cave of the Apocalypse, passing by the Zoodochos Pigi Monastery, immerse yourself in the island’s... more+ millennia-old heritage, where history, art, and faith intertwine.
Sanctuaries, churches, monasteries… Patmos is full of religious sites, but none catch the eye like the Monastery of Saint John, which crowns the whitewashed village of Chora. Built in 1088 in memory of Saint John the Evangelist by Saint Christodoulos, the monastery with fortress-like architecture was granted by Byzantine Emperor Alexis I Comnenus, who gave him the entire island. The complex houses a remarkable collection of manuscripts, icons, liturgical objects, and Byzantine works of art, while the adjacent Theotokos Chapel features frescoes dating from the 12th century.
Not far from here, another monastery awaits: the Zoodochos Pigi Convent, built in 1607. Its church and museum are known for housing very old icons and frescoes, through which you will dive into history and iconographic symbols. Today, 15 nuns live in this convent following strict rules. They practice the art of sewing and embroidery for ecclesiastical garments, as one of them will tell you.
Between Chora and Skala, the Cave of the Apocalypse unfolds. The last chapter of the New Testament was revealed to the apostle John within its walls. The cave was the home of the Evangelist – you can still see where he slept and the stone lectern on which his disciple, Prochoros, wrote as he dictated.
This excursion is not recommended for those with walking difficulties. The bus will drop you off at the foot of the old town, and access to the monastery is on foot through cobbled streets. Proper attire is required for visiting religious sites: shoulders and knees must be covered. Photography is prohibited in the chapel and the cave. This excursion is limited to 30 participants.
