Tours in Greece

Santorini Private Flying Dress Photoshoot in Oia & Caldera

When Lily from our BugBitten team booked this private photoshoot in Santorini, she got a full production: a professional photographer, a dedicated dress assistant, and access to 15+ flowing dress colours to rent for the session. The shoot takes place in Oia and around the caldera—those iconic whitewashed buildings and blue domes you've seen in a thousand Instagram posts—but here you're working with a proper team to capture you moving through the scenery rather than just snapping selfies. The whole thing runs 1 hour 15 minutes, wraps up with 25 edited photos (10 of them retouched to a high standard), and you get a preview gallery within 48 hours to pick your favourites before final delivery.

ebike : Athens Wheelz Fat Bike Tours in Acropolis Area,ebike,bike

When Ben from our team tried Athens Wheelz Fat Bike Tours, we were expecting a standard spin around the city — but the fat-tyred e-bikes made it feel genuinely different. You're covering the Acropolis area at a leisurely two-hour pace, stopping to hear local stories about ancient Athens and how it shaped the world today. It's the kind of tour where you're moving under your own (electric) steam, so there's time to actually soak in the surroundings rather than crane your neck from a bus window. Suits most fitness levels, though the cardiovascular warning is worth noting if you've got heart concerns.

Cooking Class in Athens: Learn the Art of Phyllo with Christina

When Mia from our BugBitten team tried Christina's phyllo class in Athens, she walked into a proper local kitchen — not a tourist kitchen dressed up as local. You spend three and a half hours learning to hand-stretch phyllo dough from scratch, then build a savoury pie that goes into the oven while Christina walks you through Greek culinary history. Afterwards you sit at her table for seasonal Greek dishes and wine. It's the kind of experience where you leave knowing how your hands should move, not just watching someone else's.

Private Kayaking Experience in Parga area

When Noah from our BugBitten team paddled this route near Parga, it was a proper blend of river and coastal kayaking along Greece's northwestern stretch. You start on the Acheron river — quiet, tree-lined, genuinely peaceful — then transition to sea kayaking where the action picks up: hidden caves, small beaches with proper clear water, and enough paddling to feel like you've earned a swim. The whole thing runs about five hours, and it's led by certified guides who know the area. It's a solid pick if you're comfortable in a boat and have decent fitness; it's not a lazy paddle-about.

Riverbank Adventure in Naxos (Kinidaros - Eggares)

When Jake from our BugBitten team tackled this Naxos river trek, we started with a hotel pickup and hiked down from Kinidaros—a marble-quarry village with serious Aegean views—all the way to the riverbanks near Eggares. The 4.5-hour outing shifts gears completely once you hit the water: suddenly you're walking shaded trails past abandoned watermills, lagoons, and small cascades, spotting crabs and water turtles along the way. The trail ends at Eggares, where you tour a heritage olive mill dating to the 1800s and settle in for a proper traditional taverna meal before heading back to your accommodation.

Flying Dress Photoshoot in Santorini - iconic views (WE DO MAGIC)

When Alex from our BugBitten team did the flying dress photoshoot in Santorini, we got why this spot pulls people in. You're out for a full hour in front of Santorini's white-box houses and blue-domed churches, twirling in a flowing dress while a photographer guides you through poses. It's pitched at couples, mates on a girls' trip, or solo travellers chasing a polished set of shots to take home. The gear is provided, the photographer knows the angles, and you walk away with a heap of raw files plus a smaller batch of edited shots within a week.

Santorini Couple Photoshoot & Proposal With a Local Photographer

30 min – 2 hoursfrom AUD $142

Santorini Couple Photoshoot & Proposal With a Local Photographer

When Lily from our BugBitten team booked this Santorini couples photoshoot, she got a straightforward deal: a local photographer with 15 years on the island, a couple of hours in quieter Imerovigli spots, and around 50 edited shots back within a week. The photographer steers clear of the clichéd poses and crowds that choke the caldera viewpoints, instead hunting for genuine moments and natural light. It's a solid fit if you're after engagement or anniversary photos that actually feel like you rather than a stock image, and the proposal-capture option is handled low-key—no choreography, just a watchful eye.

Private Guided Tour to Knossos Palace, Arch. Museum & Heraklion

🛕 Culture & History

6 hours – 8 hoursfrom AUD $832

Private Guided Tour to Knossos Palace, Arch. Museum & Heraklion

When Mia from our BugBitten team ran this private tour, she got the full arc of Crete's ancient story in one tight day. You're picked up in a minivan and whisked through three major stops — Knossos Palace (the Minoan centrepiece), the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, and the Old Town — with a licensed local guide who handles all the ticket admin so you skip queues. It's pitched at cruise passengers and small groups after a proper historical hit rather than a rushed tick-box. Runs 6–8 hours depending on your pace.

Athens Highlights: Private Tour, Acropolis & Museum tickets Incl.

Athens Highlights: Private Tour, Acropolis & Museum tickets Incl.

When Lily from our team ran this Athens half-day private tour, we got the headline hits without queuing: Acropolis with fast-track access, the museum, Mount Lycabettus views, and a spin past the neoclassical trilogy. It's a stripped-back five hours in a private car with a driver who knows the history but stays outside the sites themselves—you're doing the walking and absorbing solo, which is either blissful or lonely depending on your mood. Good for time-pressed travellers or those who want the landmarks ticked without a guide's constant voice in their ear.

Discover the City e-bike day tours

When Alex from our BugBitten team tried Discover the City e-bike day tours in Athens, we found a refreshingly casual way to see the place. It's a 3-hour guided e-bike ride through central Athens—not a polished, herded-around-monuments affair, but more like joining locals on wheels. The vibe is small-group, the pace is manageable thanks to electric assist, and you'll hit pockets of the city most tourists miss. It's fast enough to cover proper ground in a short window, and the e-bike tech means even modest fitness won't slow you down.

Tolo Sailing|Nafplio|Half day|Private

When Jake from our BugBitten team booked this half-day sailing trip out of Nafplio, we found ourselves on a proper local's boat heading for coves you won't reach on foot. The skipper knows the Argolic Gulf inside out — quiet anchorages, snorkelling spots, and enough sea breeze to feel like you've actually escaped. Four and a half hours from launch to return, with a relaxed crew vibe and room to swim, paddle, or just sit with a drink and watch the Peloponnese slide past. It's the kind of afternoon that doesn't feel rushed.

Naxos Private Transfer

When Mia from our team needed to shift around Naxos, this private transfer outfit sorted us out without fuss. It's a door-to-door service covering the main spots — airport, ferry port, town centre, beaches — with a spacious air-conditioned van that fits up to seven. The runs are short (10 to 40 minutes depending where you're headed), so it's handy if you've got luggage, kids, or just can't face the local bus system after a flight. Works for families, friend groups, and solo travellers who want to skip the chaos.

Discovering Santorini : A 3-Hour Private Highlights Tour

Discovering Santorini : A 3-Hour Private Highlights Tour

When Sarah from our team ran this private tour, we got a solid three-hour sprint across Santorini's most celebrated spots: Fira, Firostefani, Imerovigli, and Oia. It's a handpicked highlights run for first-timers who want the postcard views without getting lost in the maze of streets. You're ferried between villages in an air-conditioned ride, guided through the iconic Three Bells church and the famous Big Blue Dome, then given ninety minutes loose in Oia to wander, snap photos, and grab a coffee overlooking the caldera. The tour suits most fitness levels, though the charm lies in absorbing Santorini's white-washed architecture and volcanic landscape rather than deep-dive history.

Sea Kayak Trip with Snorkeling Picnic and/or Snack

When Alex from our team tried this sea kayak adventure in Greece, we found ourselves paddling straight into the kind of quiet coastal magic you can't get from a boat. The six-hour trip combines your own paddle power with snorkelling stops and a picnic of local sandwiches and pastries—a stripped-back way to see the shoreline up close. It's genuinely peaceful until you're actually doing it, which means you need proper fitness, swimming chops, and a comfort with deep water to get the most from it.

Mykonos Half Day Hiking Adventure

When Lily from our BugBitten team hiked Mykonos's quieter northern reaches, it was clear this wasn't a race. The 6.2km loop threads through old donkey trails, the kind of paths locals have used for generations, winding past olive groves and down to Merchia beach. Over three hours, the pace is easy—designed for walkers who want to move without gasping, snap photos without rushing, and actually soak in what makes the island tick beyond the party scene. You'll swim, nibble homemade treats, and hear real stories from guides who know the place.

Best of Athens & Acropolis Full Day Private Guided City Tour

5 hours – 7 hoursfrom AUD $835

Best of Athens & Acropolis Full Day Private Guided City Tour

When Alex from our team booked this private tour, we got a Mercedes pickup from our Athens accommodation and a full day hitting the major sites — the Acropolis, Parthenon, and Ancient Agora. It's a 5–7 hour experience designed around your pace, not a rigid itinerary, with a licensed local guide doing the talking and a driver handling navigation. The city's old core is dense and layered, packed with tour groups in peak season, so a private setup lets you breathe and ask questions without the crowd crush.

🍜 Food & Cooking

Private Picnic Rhodes Greece

When Em from our team booked this private picnic in Rhodes, we showed up expecting a standard spread—instead found ourselves with a photographer on hand, catching moments between bites. It's a one-hour setup: you pick a spot (likely somewhere with a view, given Rhodes), unpack a cheese board, fruit, fresh croissants, nuts, and sweets, crack a bottle of champagne or wine, and let someone else handle the camera work. The whole thing has a relaxed, unhurried feel—less structured tour, more curated downtime with snaps to prove it happened.

Sunset Cruise in Corfu Old Town on a luxury Catamaran

When Mia from our BugBitten team took this two-hour catamaran cruise off Corfu, we found it's a straightforward way to catch the sunset over the Old Town and bay without fuss. You're sailing past the fortress, snorkelling gear's on board if you fancy a dip, and there's prosecco and Greek snacks included. It's geared toward families and couples marking an occasion, with a relaxed vibe and no steep fitness demands. The boat's a catamaran, so it's stable enough for grandparents and small kids alike.

Athens Airport to Piraeus Port Private Transfer with Meet & Greet

✈️ Transfers

Athens Airport to Piraeus Port Private Transfer with Meet & Greet

When Tom from our team booked this Athens Airport to Piraeus Port transfer, it ticked the boxes for a straightforward, no-fuss ride from the terminal to the cruise port in around 50 minutes. You get a driver holding a nameplate in arrivals, a clean air-con Mercedes (sedan for couples, minivan for groups up to seven), and flight tracking so they're ready when you land. It's the kind of transfer that lets you skip the taxi queue scramble and baggage-claim stress, especially handy if you're catching a ferry and can't afford delays. The outfit's been running airport runs for over 15 years, so they know the Athens–Piraeus route inside out.

Private Sailing Cruise from Heraklion to Dia Island

When Charlie from our team sailed out to Dia Island aboard a private boat from Heraklion, it was exactly the kind of low-key luxury that works in Crete. You're on your own vessel — no crowded tour groups — with six hours to swim in clear water, poke around ancient ruins, and eat properly while the Cretan sea does its thing. The boat handles small groups well, and the pace lets you actually breathe rather than tick boxes. It's the sort of day that feels restful even though there's plenty to do.

6 hoursfrom AUD $1035

The Best of Santorini: 5-Hour Private Guided Tour of the Island

The Best of Santorini: 5-Hour Private Guided Tour of the Island

When Lily from our BugBitten team booked this private tour, she got to call the shots on where to spend five hours across Santorini. The tour hits the expected highlights — Oia's caldera views, the quieter village of Megalochori, and the volcanic beaches — but the real win is flexibility. Your guide picks you up from your hotel and works with your pace and interests rather than herding you through a packed itinerary. It's the island at a human speed, which matters when you're dealing with Santorini's summer crowds and heat.

Flying Dress Athens Official

When Noah from our team booked the Flying Dress Athens shoot, we weren't sure what to expect — but stepping into that billowing fabric against the backdrop of ancient ruins felt genuinely special. You're dressed in a flowing gown and photographed by a pro with proper cameras in Athens's most iconic historical spots. It's a one-hour session that doubles as a confidence boost and a portfolio-builder. The whole thing caters to solo travellers, couples marking an occasion, or anyone after polished shots without the fuss of organising crew separately. You walk away with fully edited images and a choice of retouched versions.

1 hourfrom AUD $616

Santorini Private Photoshoot in Oia & Blue Domes

Santorini Private Photoshoot in Oia & Blue Domes

When Em from our BugBitten team booked a private photoshoot in Oia, we got a sense of what sets this apart from the phone-in-hand tourist snap: a proper photographer guides you through the whitewashed lanes and blue dome viewpoints of Santorini's most famous village, coaching you through natural poses and candid moments as the light shifts. The session runs 1 hour (with shorter 30-minute and longer 2-hour options available), and you walk a route tailored to conditions and your vibe—couples, families, solos, honeymooners all fit the brief. The photos land in your private gallery within 1–2 days as previews, with edited high-res files delivered in a fortnight.

Sea Sunset Tour in the Bay of Naousa - Paros

When Tom from our BugBitten team booked this sunset sail around Paros' northern coast, we got a relaxed 2.5-hour float through turquoise bays you'd struggle to reach by land. The boat holds a manageable group, skippered by Thanos—a local with three decades of Aegean experience—and his wife Marianna keeps things running smoothly. You'll anchor at a couple of swimming spots (Analipsi and Turkou Ammos), jump in if the mood takes, or just laze on deck with a wine in hand while the sun heads down. Organic fruit, local cheese, and Paros wine come with the ticket.

2h 30mfrom AUD $129

Melissani, Assos, Fiskardo & Myrtos Private Tour

8 hours – 9 hoursfrom AUD $680

Melissani, Assos, Fiskardo & Myrtos Private Tour

When Sarah from our BugBitten team ran this private tour around Kefalonia's northwest coast, she got a proper taste of why this island draws both backpackers and the yacht-set. You're driven through four contrasting spots — the cave system at Melissani, the pastel-washed harbour village of Assos with its Venetian ruins, the earthquake-spared elegance of Fiskardo (now a billionaires' playground), and a photo stop overlooking Myrtos Beach's dramatic white cliffs. It's an 8–9 hour loop, all by private car with air con, so you're not sweating on a minibus with 40 others. Meals aren't included, so you'll want to budget for lunch somewhere along the way.

Wine Tasting: Meet the Cretan Vineyard at West Chania

When Jake from our BugBitten team headed to Tsourouniana, a quiet village tucked into the green hills west of Chania, we found a small-group wine tasting that actually delivers on the intimate vibe it promises. The vineyard's tasting room — fitted with hand-built olive wood furniture — sits right in the heart of the forest, and the whole setup feels more like visiting a mate's property than a tourist circuit. Over 90 minutes, we worked through five local wines paired with homemade spreads and local bites, in a group capped at ten people. It's the sort of experience where the guide remembers your name and the wine tastes better because you're not elbow-to-elbow with fifty others.

Santorini Private Tour: Customizable 4-8 Hour Sightseeing

4 hours – 8 hoursfrom AUD $259

Santorini Private Tour: Customizable 4-8 Hour Sightseeing

When Sarah from our team booked this private tour, we got a vehicle and driver-guide all to ourselves for a customizable Santorini day. You pick 4, 5, or 8 hours — the sweet spot depends on whether you want to tick off the classics (Oia, Profitis Ilias monastery, Perissa's black sand beach) or go deeper with caldera villages and a winery stop. The island's compact, so you're not burning hours on roads; instead, you're stopping where you want, asking questions without a coach full of strangers watching, and moving at your own rhythm. The 8-hour VIP option includes a wine tasting and help locking in dinner — handy if you're after a proper curated day rather than DIY logistics.

Santorini Essentials Half-Day Private Tour

Santorini Essentials Half-Day Private Tour

When Jake from our team ran this half-day private tour, we got a solid hit-the-highlights approach to Santorini without the herding. The operator pairs Oia's postcard-ready blue domes and whitewashed geometry with the quieter, more lived-in feel of Megalochori and the layered history of Pyrgos — cave houses, narrow lanes, knockout views. It's pitched at cruise passengers and short-stay visitors who want local texture and beauty in four hours, at a pace that doesn't leave you knackered. The private vehicle and local guide meant we could linger where it mattered and skip the tourist bottlenecks.

Matala Beach + Caves, Phaistos Palace & Southern Charm | Private

7 hours – 8 hoursfrom AUD $137

Matala Beach + Caves, Phaistos Palace & Southern Charm | Private

When Ben from our team ran this private tour through South Crete, it felt like having a local mate with a van rather than a formal itinerary. The day threads together Phaistos Palace—perched above the Messara Plain with solid historical context—and Matala Beach, where ancient caves sit alongside the looser, latter-day hippie heritage. You get a comfortable private van, a driver-host who knows the region, and the flexibility to add a winery, olive oil estate, or monastery stop depending on how the morning goes. It's 7–8 hours of driving, exploring, and swimming, best suited to folks wanting to piece together Crete's archaeology and coastline without the coach-tour crowds.

Milos Self Drive Private Boat - No Licence Required - Aphrodite

🐠 Water Activities

5 hours – 9 hoursfrom AUD $444

Milos Self Drive Private Boat - No Licence Required - Aphrodite

When Lily from our team took out the Aphrodite, a 2023 boat, we got a rare chance to steer our own craft around Milos' coastline without needing a licence. The island's known for dramatic cliffs, volcanic rock formations, and coves you can't reach on foot — and being at the helm meant we could linger where we wanted, skip the tourist trail, and piece together a day that actually suited us. Five to nine hours depending on how ambitious you're feeling. It's freedom on the Aegean, but with responsibility.

Santorini: Full-Day Catamaran Cruise, with Food|Drinks

When Lily from our BugBitten team booked this full-day catamaran cruise out of Vlychada, we were after an easy way to see Santorini's volcanic caldera without the island-hopping hassle. The boat itself — a wide catamaran with proper sunbeds — carries mixed groups of tourists, mostly couples and families keen to swim, snorkel, and eat seafood while the sun does the heavy lifting. You get picked up from your hotel, sailed out to snorkel-friendly spots (often near Ios), fed a Greek spread at sunset, and delivered back by nightfall. It's nine to ten hours depending on sunset timing, and the vibe is relaxed rather than rushed.

Delphi (Apollo Oracle/ Athena Tholos) private day tour from Athens (10 hours)

Delphi (Apollo Oracle/ Athena Tholos) private day tour from Athens (10 hours)

When Tom from our team ran this private day tour, it delivered on the promise of doing Delphi at your own pace rather than herding through crowded sites. You leave Athens early, drive through Mount Parnassus countryside (stopping at the springs near Levadia if you fancy), then spend the afternoon exploring the Apollo and Athena sanctuaries and museum at leisure. The driver drops you at Delphi, handles all the logistics and toll roads, picks you up when you're done, then loops back via traditional villages like Arachova. It's ten hours door-to-door, and the whole thing hinges on a seasoned driver who actually cares about the journey, not just the destination.

Santorini 3 hours Photo Tour with your personal Photographer

Santorini 3 hours Photo Tour with your personal Photographer

When Lily from our BugBitten team booked this Santorini photo tour, we wanted to see if paying for a dedicated photographer actually beats the DIY phone-snap approach. It's a three-hour private jaunt hitting the postcard villages—Oia, Firostefani, Imerovigli—with a local English-speaking photographer who drives you around in a comfortable car and shoots 70 edited images you take home. The vibe is relaxed; you pick the spots and timing, so if golden hour matters to you, they'll work with that. It suits couples after proposal shots, families wanting proper group portraits, or solo travellers keen to actually feature in their own holiday snaps rather than lurking behind the camera.

3 hoursfrom AUD $1002

Private Van Tour to Falassarna Beach from Chania

Private Van Tour to Falassarna Beach from Chania

When Lily from our BugBitten team booked a private van to Falassarna Beach west of Chania, we found ourselves on a sprawling sandy coastline that feels genuinely laid-back. The 6-hour outing suits families wanting to swim, snorkel, or just lounge without the fuss of public transport — you get picked up from Chania and dropped back, with snorkelling kit and snacks sorted. The beach itself is wide and sheltered, with a sandy seabed that keeps everyone happy, whether that's kids building castles or water-sports enthusiasts having a go at SUP and surfing. Sunbeds and beach bars dot the shore if you fancy a proper coffee break midday.

Sounio Sea Kayak Temple of Poseidon

When Jake from our team paddled this Athenian Riviera route, we found ourselves hugging a dramatic coastline most visitors never reach. The three-hour kayak traces cliffs, hidden caves, and rocky inlets down to the Temple of Poseidon—one of Greece's most recognisable ruins, but rarely seen from the water. You're in a double kayak with a guide steering, so it's low-stress paddling past beaches only accessible by boat. A proper Sounio experience without the tourist crowds queuing at the temple car park.

Explore Athenian Mountains by ATV

When Noah from our team took the handlebars of an ATV in the Athenian mountains, it was two and a half hours of proper off-road riding through terrain that genuinely feels a world away from the city below. You're covering around 50 kilometres of dirt tracks and rocky paths in the foothills north of Athens, tackling everything from technical descents to open stretches where you can really let loose. It's not a scenic sightseeing crawl — this is about the ride itself, and it suits riders who want some legitimate seat time and aren't after a gentle pootle.

Athens: Athens Wine Tasting and Wine tour at with Castle Visit

When Jake from our team ran this Athens wine tour, we found a refreshing take on Greek wine culture that actually lets you breathe and chat rather than rush through sites. You'll spend the afternoon at a winery exploring a museum of Greek wine-making tools and techniques, then taste four indigenous Greek wines paired with local snacks. There's also a balsamic vinegar tasting from aged oak barrels, and a guide sticks with you the whole way. The 3.5-hour loop includes pick-up and drop-off from your accommodation (on the private tour option), plus a solid charcuterie board. It's the kind of low-key outing that feels more like hanging with a knowledgeable local than ticking boxes.

Mykonos Half Day Private Tour - Explore the Island with a Local

When Charlie from our BugBitten team took this half-day private tour, we got a curated spin through Mykonos without the tour-group crush. You're picked up and driven around in an air-conditioned car for roughly 4 hours, hitting the iconic spots — windmills, whitewashed villages, viewpoints — while your driver adapts the route based on your interests. It's pitched at cruise passengers and island visitors after a relaxed taster, not a deep cultural dive. The flexibility beats the standard mob tours, though you're still seeing the same postcard corners as everyone else.
