DETAILED ITINERARY

DAY 1 - GREEK WELCOME DINNER

Poros is an island that combines the blue of the sea with the green of the pine forest. The old clock symbol of the island has been standing high on the top of the island since 1927. Get to know the temple of the god Poseidon, the god of the sea and swim in the picturesque sandy and organized beaches.

Our first meeting for dinner is the welcome dinner where you will experience traditional seafood.

Fresh fish, squids, octopus, taramosalata, fried shrimps with cheese and more, and of course Greek traditional Ouzo.

DAY 2 - VOLCANO HIKE & WINE TASTING

On our hiking trail, we will experience breathtaking views of the Saronic Gulf (Aegina, Agistri, Poros) and far views of Athens and Piraeus.

The Peninsula of Methana has 30 craters and the one we are hiking on is the most evident. The paths along the way offer a unique combination of nature ‘works’ including beautiful lava landscapes. When we reach the top, we have the option to enter a cave of approx. 20 m high. Photos inside the cave are a must-do as the reflection of light creates unique Scenery.

Then for dinner, we will have greek specialties like lamp chops, village salad, tzatziki, beetroot with garlic sauce, and red wine in a traditional greek taverna.

The same night we will visit a wine bar in the town of Poros for wine tasting, where you will taste 9 different local wines or more...

DAY 3 - 4X4 OFF ROAD & SWIM IN A NATURAL GORGE

On 3th day we drive to the Aderes mountain range with our  4x4 off-road cars and see the whole Argosaronikos gulf with its islands, Poros, Aegina, Agistri, Hydra, Spetses, and if the horizon is clear we also see the capital city of  Athens.

We will continue our journey going to the ancient village of Troizina and then we will visit the Devil's Bridge for a swim in a unique natural gorge.

Later we will swim in the clear blue waters of Votsalakia Beach and of course, we will have lunch with the most famous dish in the world... Souvlaki... combined with Greek village salad, handmade cheese pies with Feta, fried zucchini flowers, eggplant salad, and local wine.

In the afternoon we will try some traditional Greek sweets like baklava, galaktoboureko, rizogalo, almond sweet pies, pecan pie with ice cream and homemade lemonade.

DAY 4 - COOKING CLASS & SUNSET KAYAKING

A cooking class is always the best way to learn more about Greek cuisine. This day we will cook together some of the traditional recipes as Mousaka, Gemista, and Lemon sauce calf.

In the afternoon we will enjoy a sea Kayak in the sunset. Our journey takes us kayaking from the Russian Bay to the beautiful islet of Daskalio, with a little church on it, where still marriages take place.

We will continue to Love Bay and the calm little gulf of Neorio where we will see beautiful boats and enjoy nature. As the sun sets down we will slowly kayak back and on our way, keep our breath for the views – just relaxing and being in the moment.

You will feel the beauty and magic of the sunset in this area.
