Tour Reviews
Our trip was perfect from start to finish. The guide, was so knowlegable about the area, and really went above and beyond in every way. Snack and fruits were great and plentiful. If planning on going to Halkidiki and you love hiking, this is really the only way to do it.
The hike was by far the coolest one that I have ever done. My guide was very knowledgeable and made the hike so much more fun. We had a snack and fresh fruits of the season at a place with an amazing view, overlooking Mt. Athos and the Vourvourou bay. Anyone who enjoys a good day hike, hit this place up and ask.
Hike paths visited in Mt. Itamos were well selected. Guides were knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended
