Beautiful and family-friendly cave experience! Petralona Cave was absolutely beautiful and well worth a visit. The temperature inside is a comfortable +17°C all year round, so there’s no need to dress warmly. The entrance fee was €10 for adults, and seniors (65+) paid €5 — we visited in the off-season. Children under 18 enter for free, which was great for us since we had a baby and a 3-year-old with us. The cave itself is relatively small and compact — perfect for kids. The loop path takes around 20 minutes to complete, with many stunning formations to admire. Some parts of the path are a bit narrow, but still manageable. In front of the cave, there’s a kiosk and a picnic/waiting area with an incredible view of the surrounding area and the sea — perfect for watching the sunset! We enjoyed some ice cream and coffee from the kiosk while waiting for our tour to start. You can either take a short walk (about 800m) up to the cave or use the little transfer train from the parking area. The round trip on the train costs €3 per person, and children under 3 go free. We didn’t visit the museum (it requires a separate ticket), but overall, the service was friendly, and the experience was great — highly recommend it, especially for families!

A great change in scenery. It is a great place to take a break on a hot day - other than on a beach or inside. Things go fast even on a busy day and rather affordable (€10 for the cave, €5 for the museum and €3 for the train). Tour is 20 - 30 minutes without guide (for our group). I would recommend the museum first and cave after. Outside view is nice, too. The terrace near the entrance is a nice place to enjoy a drink.

The weather was bad so we decided to visit the caves after looking on google. The car park is a basic dirt road and we did struggle to get parked. Some cute little souvenir shops reasonably priced…again basic but fine. We got the train to the caves which took a couple of minutes and cost a few euros each. Once you are at the top to the entrance of the cave it is quite exposed with a couple of shelters, a coffee shack and reasonably clean toilets. Once we had paid there was a little wait before the last group came out of the cave, around 10 minutes or so. Once we were in the cave we were memorised!! What an amazing place! Really cleverly lit with secure steps throughout. We loved every second of it with such amazing photo opportunities. It was like being in another world. We were encouraged to stay with the group but we wanted to stay longer hehe! We walked back to the car chatting about our amazing experience!

Great fan of stalagtites/stalagmites caves, so we had to visit this one and it is definitely worth the trip. Currently, the entrance fee is 10 Euro (Oct 2025). Since we have been there close to the end of the season our group was comfortably small (I can imagine that in the summertime the visit will be very crowdy and not so quiet and comfortable). There is a parking lot (with some deserted tourist shops close by) and the possibility to be carried the 300 or so meters to the cave by a small train. Otherwise it's a 10 min walk slightly up the hill. After buying the tickets we had to wait a bit, approx. 10-15 min until enough people had gathered for the tour. The cave itself and all the formations were so amazing, I enjoyed it very much. The guide explained everything in greek and english. Whole tour is about 1 km and approx. 30 min. We did not visit the small museum with the bone collections, because we were more interested in the formations, but this would have been possible with a 5-euro fee and approx. 20 min.

This is an incredible cave and there is a great museum on site too. Both have recently reopened after significant renovation. There is s short walk uphill from the car park. Alternatively you can take the land train. There is a coffee shop and toilets outside the cave and also near the car park

A LOT of stuff to uncover. The guide who lead me and my group was very kind. He explained the history behind the cave very well and I was intrigued the entire time. Would recommend visiting if you’re in the Halkidiki area!

By far one of the best in the world, this cave amazes at every step. It’s a hidden gem of Greece and a must-see! A long labyrinth of corridors with awe-inspiring forms will leave you in wonder of the mystery of nature. Park by the shops and walk up the hill or take the noddy train. Reasonably priced tickets, discounts for children and pensioners, and a tour guide included. Thank you for such an amazing experience!

This is the main church in Thessaloniki, where Saint Demetrius is buried. The architecture is excellent, and the temple is beautifully and richly decorated inside as well. There is no entrance fee. There is a souvenir shop inside and outside. There are often tourist tours.

One of the most important churches in Thessaloniki, dedicated to the city’s patron saint. The interior is beautiful, with impressive mosaics and a crypt that holds deep historical and spiritual significance. Entrance is free, and it’s a must-visit for anyone exploring the city

We visited on 26 of October, even we came quite early it was overcrowded, not surprising since almost all Thessaloniki was there, including us came from abroad! We highly recommend to visit it, but please come on the service days earlier in order to find a place... I also recommend a small shop at the right corner of the church, it has much spiritual attributes, ikons, crosses, and even books! I found all the books of St Paisios only 15 Eur per one, so is the first place I recommend to visit in Thessaloniki! We definitely plan to come back again 🇨🇾🫶🏻

Don’t be afraid to put your trainers on and walk — Thessaloniki is full of beautiful churches, and the Holy Church of Saint Demetrius is definitely one not to miss! The architecture is stunning, and the atmosphere inside feels so peaceful and full of history. You can easily spend some time just admiring the mosaics and details. It’s also free to enter, which makes it even better! If you’re exploring Thessaloniki, make sure to add this to your walking route — it’s a lovely stop that gives you a real sense of the city’s culture and spirituality. Instagram mrsivyhyde

The Church of Saint Demetrius, or Hagios Demetrios is the main sanctuary dedicated to Saint Demetrius, the patron saint of Thessaloniki. Since 1988, it has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a part of the site Paleochristian and Byzantine monuments of Thessaloniki. The first church on the spot was constructed in the early 4th century AD, replacing a Roman bath. A Repeatedly gutted by fires, the church eventually was reconstructed as a five-aisled basilica in 629–634. This was the surviving form of the church much as it is today. The most important shrine in the city, it was probably larger than the local cathedral. Thessaloniki became part of the Ottoman Empire in 1430. About 60 years later, during the reign of Bayezid II, the church was converted into a mosque, known as the Kasımiye Camii after the local Ottoman mayor, Cezeri Kasım Pasha. The symbolic tomb however was kept open for Christian veneration. It functioned as a mosque (1493–1912). It was converted again to a church in 1912.

The main church in Thessaloniki. Free of charge. Photos and videos are allowed. Possible to take a guide tour. Highly recommend to visit their catacombs. Impressive

While the icons themselves are unique and moving, what is truly remarkable is the beautiful scent surrounding them, despite the absence of flowers. I wonder if someone could identify this unique fragrance? It’s a very welcoming space, so please feel free to stop by!

On the one hand, you must go here when visiting Thessaloniki. It is the most famous landmark of the city and has a lot of history attached to it. On the other hand, it is rather expensive (at €8) for what is a relatively small (but interesting) museum. But I have to say that the views from the top are terrific. So Yes - go!

A wonderful place to visit! The White Tower is full of history and beautifully presented inside with clear displays and interactive exhibits. The climb to the top is easy, and the view over Thessaloniki and the sea is absolutely stunning. The staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely a must-see landmark when visiting the city!

Excellent attraction..6euro entry p.p. The walk up tonthe top with its several rooms and chambers along the way was really well worth it. You could easily spend 2 hours here going through the various write-ups & history. Some audio on English via your phone was available at key points. The views from the top are amazing. You see the length & breadth of the coast line and nearby hils. Apparantly you can see Mt. Olympus on a clear day...we were not so lucky.

This is a must when visiting Thessaloniki! The ticket is 6€ and children under 18 don't pay the ticket. This isn't just a place where you go for the view from the top (even though it's very beautiful), but it's also a museum. You have a couple of stops before you reach the top where you can learn more about the history lf Thessaloniki. You also get a free audio guide available in many languages free of charge! I couldn't recommend this place enough.

A lovely place to walk around and enjoy the sea breeze. The view from the top is stunning, especially at sunset. Definitely one of Thessaloniki’s highlights!

The White Tower of Thessaloniki is A MUST monument-museum-attraction to start, when visiting the city. Start with just inhaling and enjoyig from outside the spirit of the place.(White tower is a starting stop and for the Cultural line 50 - the local tourist live guided bus tour -2€ regular fee (https://www.oasth.gr/en/tourism/cultural-route). Entering inside the museum (6€ regular ticket) you can select from 13 languages in which to learn and understand better the history, culture, life, culinary, evolution of the city during your way up trough the seven levels to the top. The observation terrace is a perfect selfie's spot and also a greate way to orientate yourself in the next directions trough your journey felling in love with Thessaloniki... Enjoy!

A must place to visit if in town for the first time. The tower is multi leveled with each level having an exhibition of the city's history. It's not tiresome to climb as there are no steep steps and you have to stop to see the exhibits. At the top one can enjoy the excellent view of the city and the bay. There is also a museum shop that was not operating on the day we visited.

Τhis famous Aristotelous Square is a 20th century square in Thessaloniki, Greece designed by the French architect, Ernest Hébrard and built after the great fire of 1917. It is designed in an eclectic style which combines elements from both the Byzantine and Western architectures. This waterfront square is one of the prominent places in Greece, and forms an important part of life in Thessaloniki with some of the city's most beautiful buildings and sights. The central square serves the need for leisure and commerce with numerous choices of shops, cafes and stylish bars while at the same time offering wonderful sea views. The square is a must visit place for those who arrive in Thessaloniki, Greece.

It's a nice place to walk, especially when it's sunny. There are lots of delicious coffees and food options for breakfast. It looks nice at night as well, close to everything

Our hotel overlooks Aristotle Square, which is a huge public square lined by various restaurants; and which appears to be a major ‘go to’ place for locals and visitors alike. Very popular as the heat of the day dissipates.

A beautiful and lively spot in the heart of Thessaloniki! The square has lovely architecture, great cafés, and an amazing sea view. It’s perfect for a walk, coffee, or just relaxing and watching the city life. Especially nice in the evening when the lights come on. Definitely worth a visit!

Aristotle Square is a beautiful place. The crowd is quite crowded. It's close to the sea. It has its own flair. It is definitely worth a visit if you are in Thessaloniki.

Very nice place. Ideal place as meeting point. Lots of bars nearby. The view is amazing. A nice Plaza and seaside.

Beautiful place plus you got the Kapani Market and crazy amount of gift shops to buy cute gift for everyone back home. Kapani Market is closed on Sundays.

The tavern is traditionally cozy, and the food and service are excellent. The prices are reasonable and reflect the quality of the overall experience. The setting in the old town and the surrounding buzz create a typically Greek atmosphere that you will enjoy. I recommend the place and am glad we stopped by for lunch.

Everything is very nice and delicious. I have been coming to Thessaloniki for 3 years and I have been stopping by here for 3 years. The service and the quality of the employees are very good. Especially Niko, he was helpful in every way. I recommend you to follow Niko's suggestions. He has been very interested in us for 2 years. Definitely come here.

Nothing special. I expected something more impressive, but it turned out to be completely average. Lacks character, lacks feeling, and there’s nothing that would make me want to come back. I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for something unique.

The food was delicious and the staff were very kind and attentive. I especially recommend the Marathos salad, which was very fresh, and the melted feta, which was the best I’ve ever had. At the end, we had complimentary ice cream. Will come back for sure!

A lovely Greek restaurant in the heart of Ladadika. It was a pleasure and I felt invited. They offered delicious meze and really tasty wine. Furthermore I enjoyed the hectic but lovely district and the area around the restaurant. A must go!

Top food and service..amazing Greek Salad, Fried Zuchini and superb Mussels in sauce...and a fantastic local Ouzo.... big portions best to share like we did.

Food was super delicious. Calamari and sea food and the mezes are all fresh and natural öade with love. Nikos is the best. This is our second night w my family

Interesting place to visit and to see a part of Greek history and culture. We were disappointed that the tower is closed and cannot be accessed. Also, everything is located outside and since it was raining, the visit was not ideal.

Nice castle on the outside. And also nice views on the sea. However, its interior is quite poor and of low interest. The entrance fee is 10 euros which is definitely not worth it unfortunately. It should be maximum 5 euros. Also a coffee shop with tables viewing the brilliant sea would be a good idea.

Wonderful piece of history to walk around. Has a museum that has historical objects. I personally enjoyed looking at the weight and measuring devices they used in that era. Did not like that they did not have free public restrooms inside the exhibit .

Not much but a few ruins was saved, but the view from the ancient walls is stunning. The staff is very friendly and kind. Too bad there's no possibility to climb up on the donjon.

If you are nearby, this castle is definitely worth seeing. It's a bit steeper when you climb up, but at the top you have a beautiful view of the surroundings, in addition to the historical landmark. The walls are well preserved and when you are there you feel as if you are in another time.

A beautiful and quite intact castle from the period when the Latin Empire had occupied these parts of Greece. The crusader castle was built in the period between 1204 and 1222 and it was used to control the roads connecting Macedonia and Thessaly.

The view from the castle to the sea and mount Olympos is amazing. The ticket is a bit expensive compared to the “experience”. The castle should be better maintained and the tower should be opened for visitors, than it would be 5 starts. It is worth visiting.

I am glad that I came here by walking from Litochoro for 2 hours. I didn’t take the big bus tours from Thessaloniki or Katerini, saving much money, & I am free to stroll leisurely on the lush green meadows for 2 hours. It is a good place to relax & to enjoy the charming scenery. most magnificencia is the Hellenistic theater.

Great place to visit! Within the site you can see an incredible amount of sanctuaries and remains of the old city! Take yourself round two hours to see the whole site! I agree with the lack of quality concerning the signs, that’s why I deducted one star!

Sadly, the trip here was really not worth it. The site is not well maintained, clearly there are many renovations taking place since there were tapes, tarps, fences and trucks/industrial vehicles around many of the sites, which of course we were not informed of. Some areas are very overgrown and unsafe (we came across snakes), poorly marked, no clear trails to follow and signposts with no signs in them explaining what you're looking at. The signs that are present mostly have illustrations or photos of the ruins as we can see in front of us already, as opposed to graphics showcasing what the buildings once were. It leaves a lot to the imagination and if I could give you any advice it would be to go to the museum instead, as the ticket price is actually worth it there. I can see some beautiful photos in older reviews and regret we could not see the same.

Really interesting site that would greatly benefit from more description as you walk around. Very hot bring lots of water.

It is a really fascinating place, you feel like you’re walking through history… but for 10 Euros a ticket they really could print some new info posters. One A1 poster costs less than 10 Euros.

Impressive. The bathrooms are still so beautifull, my favorites. A pity we did not find the palace of Zeus. :-)

Huge ancient town and cult religious center. Authentic Roman mosaic can be seen at open air.

One of the best museums we ever visited! And we visited a lot! Presentation, location, historical significance, atmosphere! And artefacts!! Just WOW! The whole story... It's like it's all just a myth! But it's real!! And unfolding in front of your eyes - in such a unbelievable beauty, preserved like it's untouched... One of these things needed to be seen to be believed - and when you see it, it's almost unbelievable :D

I visited the site of the Royal Tombs of Aigai in Vergina and the nearby museum, which is located about one kilometer away: I started from the underground complex, where I spent an hour and a half among burial chambers adorned with frescoes and grave goods such as jewelry, ceremonial weapons, and pottery, which showcase the craftsmanship and religiosity of the Macedonians in conceiving the passage to the afterlife and a short introductory video that contextualizes the archaeological discoveries. Afterwards, I reached the separate Museum, dedicating about an hour to its exploration: the spaces are organized with essential captions and 3D reconstructions. For Italians over 18, the ticket costs 20 euros per person, while those under eighteen enter for free; the price may seem high, but it includes access to all rooms and enriches the visit with multimedia insights. Also included in the price is a museum detached from the tomb structure, located roughly 1 km away. I appreciated the cleanliness and the calibrated lighting that highlights the details of the artifacts, even though at first it may seem a bit excessive (the rooms are completely dark except for the area where the artifacts are to be admired), without causing discomfort to the eyes, and the accessible path with multilingual panels (English, Greek). I recommend inquiring privately for a guide, if you want one, because the facility does not provide it. Overall, it is a vivid and engaging

Here is the magnificent tomb of Philip II as well as the famous golden urn and other valuable personal belongings of the great King of the Macedonians. The unique frescoes like the vivid representation of the Abduction of Persephone, reveal the achievements in the arts and painting during the years of reign of the glorious Macedonian Kingdom.

Stunning place, recreated in the same underground tomb where it was discovered. Extraordinary, detailed recreation of a myriad pieces found. Perhaps the best designed museum in Greece.

Must visit! This tomb left me speechless. The museum guide made the tour twice as interesting with his attitude to the history of this great ruler and all the details he mentioned to us in addition. Thank you!

A unique experience that not only showcases in a mystic way masterpieces of ancient craft, but also takes you in a detailed journey through the burial rights of ancient Macedonians. And let’s not forget that this is the place where one of the most significant figures of the ancient world was buried and everything is connected to Alexander the Great! Definitely a must see and should be combined with the royal palace and the new museum.

Wonderful museum with incredible exhibits! The light work is fantastic and makes you see the exhibits in detail. The ticket costs 20 euros but you use the same for the Polycentric museum which is about 1 km away. It's worth a visit like nothing else!

Beautiful area. The trip to the village at the top of the mountain, through the village to the briefing hall and down to the conservatory is quite a remarkable experience. It's extremely well kept, the knowledge of the guides is impeccable as they are experts and true stewards of the environment. Great experience! 🙏🏾

Amazing forest surrounding the bear rescue and rehabilitation sanctuary. Congrats to the staff of Arcturos on their important mission to protect the wildlife and endangered animals of Greece and beyond.

Great place little bit hidden in forests and mountains. If you’re nearby, I’d strongly recommend this little walking trip - see nature reservation with few bear just close enough for good observation. Great place run by enthusiasts people.

Very interesting experience learning about the bears in greece. the downsize that it is tome limited. you cant enter witout the the guide and its for only 30-40 minutes

Amazing experience and a very noble mission from this organization. We also visited their wolf, lynx and jackal center down the hill. An amazing experience for us to see the bears and learn about Arctouros

Reservation with bears which you can see after short talk with the staff.

This was a great experience. We arrived early on a Sunday for the first tour of the day, this was great as we got the tour guide to ourselves so had the opportunity to ask plenty of questions. It was amazing to see the bears so close, they are beautiful animals. I believe you can see the wolves and lynxes afterwards using the same ticket, but unfortunately we didn't have time! There's a gift shop too which is worth a visit, we now have a cuddly bear toy named Simon, after our guide!

Very interesting museum that show all the info regarding the mill as also the procedure of grinding the seeds. Also, in the premises of the mill, there is a nice park, cafeteria, cinema.

Around Christmas this park is transformed into a beautiful theme park with lots of food, games, activities for children & not only! Negative aspects is the fact that usually is overcrowded and you should be careful with children, not to get lost, and also it is necessary to have much more toilet places and much cleaner!

Beautiful utilization of the place. Great xmas decorations. Bit on the overpriced side though. Worth a visit. Not worth buying anything.

The history and triumph of the family that brought the mill and updated is a very inspiring story.

This is a nice museum for a short visit and on the day we visited, it was free (may always be free, not sure?). While there are digital learning devices, there is not any real practical exhibits to speak of, that would have made it better for our son.

The Christmas Park is spectacular. It's an easy ride there from the Meteora area. Free admission

Very good place

This is a truly surreal and stunning experience. Highly recommend at least once on your life. We took a tour bus which on total is a 11 hr day but totally worth it with no hassle. Costs £5 each to enter each mosque.

Great place for a day trip. If you are driving, you will enjoy the wide and safe road. You can go to the top by driving your car. Hiking route is also available. Overall, the scenic view is breathtaking and humans capability of building churches and residences are absolutely surreal!

An amazing experience - far exceeded our expectations. We visited St Nicholas & Varlaam monastries. St Nicholas was small with lots of steps but was fantastic. Not very busy. Varlaam was larger & easier to access. The art work in both is stunning. Having a guide to explain was useful. The views are breathtaking.

We absolutely loved the visit to Monasteries in Meteora. It was so peaceful! We visited two - one with Monks and second with Nuns. Both were equally beautiful and well maintained. Views from these locations were breathtaking!! 😍😍

Amazing view, don't miss the monastery itself, they want 5 euro for adults, kids up to 6yo are free. notice they want cash, but accept cards too. it's beautiful inside, very interesting. 1 hour easy, take your time.

I wonder who put less than 5 stars. I visited many beautiful places and I lived in Rome, but I have rarely been as speechless as here. Simply wonderful! I took hundreds of pictures from every angle. A must-see!!!

I was overwhelmed!!! The unique beauty of the area topped off with the monasteries on top of the unique rock formations was breathtaking. We hired a guide and went as early as possible. Dress code for men and woman to enter the monastery. 5€ to enter each one. A couple are a lot of climbing up stairs.

The Great Meteoron Monastery is an incredible place to visit and truly lives up to its name. We reached it by hiking through the forest from Kastraki, and the walk was magical – quiet, scenic, and full of breathtaking views of the rocks and valleys. The monastery itself is steeped in history, with beautifully preserved frescoes, impressive architecture, and interesting exhibits that give you a real sense of the past. The views from the top are simply unforgettable. It’s a bit of a workout to get there, but the experience is one you’ll remember forever.

A beautiful and well-preserved monastery with many authentic and original details. The real highlight is the rock formations. We visited in autumn, and the mix of colorful leaves, green bushes, and stone cliffs was breathtaking. You can see the monasteries on top of the rocks without needing drones. A truly magical place.

Great view and a well preserved monastery. God bless all the people. Many visitors during visit, can be crowded, make sure to grab a bottle of water before you go up there. Enjoy the view and pray for all. Amen

Calm and peacefull place with astonishing views..although its quite crowded in day time. Maybe theres less people in the morning..Dont forget to wear longpant and women - a dress covering legs and shoulders. Be respectfull for the rules inside, this is a place not for selfies or photos but fot prayer and meditation.

Great views and beautiful monastery. Went early morning as it is quite a lot of steps down & up to get to the entrance. Entrance fee was €5, as with the other monasteries. There is a nice, large gift shop here with a variety of religious gifts, honey, wines, soaps etc.

The most popular monastery at Meteora, and I can see why. Despite the many steps to get to the top, there were tons of people walking up and down. The views are incredible, they have various museums inside the walls, and plenty of art inside the churches. This one was the most complete in terms of showing you the historical way of life of the monks living there.

Awesome experience both from outside and inside. Some steps to take tough - wear good shoes and check the opening days and times!

Beautiful, picturesque, tranquile. Multiple places to seat and relax by the lake and absorb its sights. Restaurants and cafes. Beautiful road just 1m away from lake shore....

An absolutely amazing place. A truly gem in Greece. The lake offering lots of hikes along its shores and the surrounding mountains. Also it’s worth visiting the dragons Lair and the monastery Moni Panagias Mauriotissas

It is such a picturesque lake, sourrounded by high mountains. It realy worths to go walking by the lake's shore in the city of Kastoria, or even do the whole circle of the ake with bicycle or a car.

Very beautiful place to visit.Nice view and good shops around to shop , to drink coffee and to eat something. A place that everybody has to visit.

One of the reasons Kastoria is so special!

A great place to visit and enjoy nature. There are many cafes, and restaurants along its shores to enjoy the view. You can also drive along to a significant part of its shoreline. Famous route for jogging, walking, exercising as well as fishing. Best visit at warm periods (may~august) or even autumn to have an amazing experience.

Beautiful. In winter the lake can freeze and people can walk on it. There are swans and other birds living in it. Lovely scenery and reflections in the water.

I've been to several caves in my travels and this may be the very best. It's well laid out, easily accessible, well illuminated and the formations are close enough to the path that you can fully appreciate their beauty. Tip: Rent a bike and make this stop part of your trip around the peninsula. The terrain is flat and it's a beautiful, quiet and peaceful trip that's easily completed within a couple of hours, including stops. Perfect for relatively inexperienced cyclists.

Great place to visit. A luxury tour where we were the only ones in a cave listening to the guide from the speakers in our native language. The cave isn't big but it's totally worth it. Definitely recommend for a visit. Thank you for a wonderful hospitality!

Took about 20 or so minutes to go through the cave system. Everything was paved with concrete real well and easy to navigate. There are some steps in it and some areas are slippery with some moisture but nothing serious. Our tour was self guided as they graciously played an audio recording throughout the cave in English so we could understand the areas and the history of the cave. We were grateful they did this for people that only spoke English. The areas were all very interesting and unique in their own way. Some had water, some had more stalagmites/stalagtites than others and some had larger open areas. Very unique place to visit while up in Kastoria. Such a beautiful area!

Interesting cave. You can take a taxi going here or just walk if its a good day. One of the highlights when visiting Kastoria. It takes about 20 minutes to explore inside the cave. Very well lit and safe. They play the audio guide in different languages. Just let them know which language you prefer.

Wonderful experience. Quite long. Amazing atmosphere. Well organized.Different labirents. Well lighted. But take a strong electric torch 🔦 with you if possible. Go there by walking. The road is mesmerising also.

This was a great place to visit, the formations in the cave were beautiful. It was informative too, and you get to learn about the cave through a speaker as you walk through. You do get a limited time however, around 15 minutes before you get hurried along. I think this was good though as it's not too busy when you are in there. Would recommend when in Kastoria.

Great cave, nicely located outside Kastoria, just by the lake. A nearby cafe. The cave itself is very nice, still active stalectites!! Entrance only 6 euros, there is a guided vocal naration inside. Very recommended.

An extremely impressive and enriching experience! The museum combines history, culture, and tradition in a way that is both educational and engaging, making it a truly thrilling visit for the whole family. The exhibits are beautifully presented, offering insights into Metsovo’s heritage and way of life. I would consider it an absolute must-see when visiting Metsovo. 5 euros for adults and children up to 10 2,50.

Amazing paints and well organised art gallery well done. Definitely one of the best in Greece ! Great collection for such a little town

Great place to visit when you are in metsovo. Very important paintings

4th of May 2022. The Averoff Museum of Neohellenic Art was opened during August 1988. It has the permanent exhibition and many others from time to time. The permanent exhibition has 250 works by the major Greek painters, printmakers and sculptors of the 19th and 20th century, like Fasianos, Egonopoulos, Lytras, Volanakis, Parthenis, Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas, Moralis and many more. Two of the paintings that we used to ‘meet’ in our books at school, there are also there. These two are: the dude eating his watermelon of 1880 (ο μάγκας που τρώει καρπούζι) from Pantazis Periklis and the burning of the Turkish flagship by Kanaris (Η πυρπόληση της τουρκικής ναυαρχίδας από τον Κανάρη) of 1873 by Lytras Nikiforos. Still life is alternating with colorful landscapes and angelic faces are alternating with sad ones in this museum full of history, that you should not miss. Of course, for those who seek the unexpected, there is the room with the modern means of expression. Take a look and enjoy. Tip: Do not miss the room with Metsovo’s history unfolding through photos. @traveladvicefromagreek

Lovely gallery, with lots of works of art to admire, and extra friendly staff! This gallery is a must if you visit Metsovo!

Well worth a visit. Gives the visitor an interesting perspective of revolution-era Greece. There is also a black and white photo collection at the basement, which shows how life was seventy years ago.

Wonderfully curated, beautifully exhibited! 100% recommend! The most impressive room for me was the Children’s workshop! Thank you for keeping the arts alive and thriving for the children in your villages and communities!

Amazing lac & city You can walk / run around the lac. The view point on the mountains is just magic 🗻

Very nice lake! You can walk around or get in one of the boats that do tours in the lake and enjoy the calm atmosphere. It is quite big and the scenery with all the trees and the birds and swans is lovely. There are also many restaurants around the lake so that anyone can enjoy the view while having a coffee or a meal. I would visit it again.

A very beautiful place to visit.Lake Pamvotida is located in the city of Ioannina, Epirus, Greece. Around of the lake there is the castle of Ioannina which has 3.200 inhabitants inside and there are many cafe bars,restaurants and souvenir shops which have sight of the lake. You can take the ferry for a fast cruise to the island of Ioannina for a visit.It has Byzantine churches and the museum of Ali Pasa who was governor of the city during the Ottoman period.It has also restaurants and souvenir shops there.The ticket for this cruise costs 2€ per route. Worth a visit.

The beautiful lake of the Ioannina city, with many good food and drink options, around the lake. Also boat tours are available at the small and historical island of the lake (It is an inhabitable one, with museum, restaurants and cafe). Pictureque scenery, absolutely worth visiting.

We participated in the Lake Run for 30km with two friends! It was an unforgettable experience, and I wish to go again! Don't miss it

This is a really big lake! At night, it looks like there are islands in the middle, there are lots of camping spots around this lake. When you wake up in the morning, you will be able to see that those "islands" are tall grass. There are also lots of animals and big birds around this lake.

Definitely (one of) the highlights of Ioannina! Such a nice walk.

Very pretty, lots to see. Beware that all the museums inside are closed on a Tuesday. The restaurants and Tavernas are open though. Old Town was pretty and the lakeside walk is very nice as well.

If you love history, spend time wandering this ancient Byzantine fortress. It's free to go inside and wander, but the museums cost money. Part of the fortress includes lived-in houses and shops! There's free parking near the lake.

Amazing history, majestic historic buildings repurposed into museums. Breathtaking views of the lake and city. Heads up: they're closed on Tuesdays. However, if you end up there on a Tuesday like me, it's still worth the stroll :)

The place is nice but the view of the Ioannina lake is spectacular ! You should let yourself drift around the alleys and see the architecture of the buildings inside the castle. There are museums, mosques and churches that are interesting for visitors to see. But the one place that was astonishing was the «Silversmithing Museum» (tip: watch all the 5’ documentaries at the screens inside the museum that demonstrate the unique silversmithing techniques of the area of Epirus)

Once you figure out where the "action" is there is a lot to see, whether you want to pay for entrance to specific things or not. The overall "castle" has many layers of history visible inside the bigger exterior walls.

Definitely worth a stroll in the afternoon. Interesting old buildings. Free entrance! There's also a nice restaurant.

Used to visit this place when I was a small child with my grandparents, and my parents a lot every time we visited Greece and Ioannina. It's a kinda nostalgic but also very special place to me.

Very nice. Guided tour. Takes POS. Cannot take photos or videos inside but all is on the website. One man’s passion for Greece turned into something amazing. Some of them look so real.

This is a MUST for anyone visiting the area of Epirus! Do not miss to make this stop at a place made by the hand of an artist! The entire structure with the stone corridors and the wax sculptures is a unique resemblance of the Greek 19th and early 20th century! You will feel awe and inspiration alongside with admiration for the vision and the creation of the artist … DO NOT MISS IT !!! PS. No photos provided because this is forbidden but you may find plenty in the museum url

Very informative tour and guide. He really knew a lot of facts to tell us about everything and every period shown in the museum. And even knew some historical facts about the First World War in Greece. I really learned a lot from him about Greek history which I didn't knew yet.

It's definitely worth your while. The surroundings are like you're in a cave. Attention is paid to every detail, even weed growing between stones!

Top recommendation for historical museum lovers it is a MUST visit for families kids and adults

One of the most beautiful museums - the wax statues are so detailed you feel they are alive.set in different periods they show scenes of the most significant events in the Greek history. The building inside is cleverly designed - you go through dark corridors and see the statues behind windows in various scenes. The last part is the artist's selection of various events . No photos or videos are allowed. Don't miss it!

The personages seems not so "real" and if you are "claustrophobic " its not a good idea to go here you are in the dark and it's cold and some personages move her eyes to look at you ... you don't feel so relax and you can not take photography and if you take the security gonna follow you on your back until the end like you have killed someone or like you have do the one abominable think it's stupid and crazy because in England you have the same thing and better with all the cinema star and you can take photos and touch the personages and it's seems more real it's stupid !

A beautiful and historic bridge in Arta. Located over the Arachthos River. Dates back to the 16th century. There is a pedestrian path along the river, and a nice park to view the bridge. Also many Kafeneios and restaurants with bridge side views. I can recommend for a lovely outing while in the area. Not far from the highway and a great place to stop en route to other locations.

A Bridge of Stone, Legend, and Soul! The Historical Bridge of Arta is not just a marvel of architecture - it’s a living legend that spans across the Arachthos River and deep into the soul of Epirus. With its four majestic arches and elegant design, it’s one of the most iconic bridges in Greece, beautifully preserved and steeped in myth. Built in its final form in the early 17th century, the bridge has witnessed floods, reconstructions, and the passage of empires. But what truly makes it unforgettable is the haunting legend behind it - the tale of the master builder’s wife, sacrificed to ensure the bridge would stand. This tragic myth has inspired generations of songs, plays, and folklore. The setting is serene and powerful. You feel the history in every stone. Whether you're into photography, storytelling, or just soaking in Greece's deep cultural roots, this place is magical. A must-visit if you're in Western Greece!

A step into the 15th century, even made more interesting by the myth of the bridge's construction. This is truly a wondrous structure, add to that its functionality even to this day.

Beautiful site, easy to access with good places to sit drink and eat Must see in Arta

It is a fantastic 17th century AD stone bridge of the Arachthos River and it is the most famous sight to see in Arta. It is the most famous bridge in Greece because of its beauty and of the legend about the so-called "sacrifice of the master builder's wife" in order for it to be built. According to the well-known folk song, 1300 masons, 60 students, 45 craftsmen under the Chief Master, tried to build the bridge whose foundations were destroyed every morning. The length of the stone bridge of Arta reaches 145 meters while its width is 3.75 meters. Platanos tree on one side is considered to be around 350 years old. It is enormous.

A beautiful and historical place to relax, have a cold greek coffee or enjoy a glass of wine. Absolutely recommended!

The myth of legendary bridge of Arta. A song is written about this bridge, the myth says that all day they were building it, at at night it would fall. The first builders wife had to be sacrificed in order for the bridge to complete. Other then the myth, it’s a landmark of the city, took its final form in 1612. However, the foundations of the bridge show that in this place there was a bridge as early as classical or Hellenistic times. The last addition was made in the times of the Ottoman domination, when the pavement was raised, so the bridge took on its current appearance. Its current appearance is the culmination of many occasional additions and reconstructions of the original building. The structure itself and the way it was constructed testify to the various phases of completion of the project and lead us to the starting point of its history.

What a sight! Short hike along beautiful clear rock pools with the amazing local striated rocks. Recommend wearing sneakers if you plan to go far back. This place was great, cool in the shade. Formed through both natural and human made interventions.

Beautiful nature point on the road side to micro papaginko. Nature carved a small water way in between rock walls that are built from layers of straightstone plates. Now its end of September and there is only a very little amount of water yet it is enough to seat, listen and relax.

Imagine a landscape straight out of a fairy tale. Impressive rocks sculpted by nature, forming small, crystal-clear 'pools'. The feeling is magical, as if you're in a hidden secret of Pindos.

A beautiful game of nature in the heart of Pindos Mountains. The water made its way through the rocks the last 200 million years and made some breathtaking formations of stone. I guess in some years the water is more and in some others less, regarding how much it rained. So don't get disappointed if the water is less. Enjoy this majestical work of nature.

A beautiful landscape of successive natural pools formed within the rock by the constant flow of the stream. Hopefully it will keep on flowing.... Do respect the environment if you go. No littering, no sunblock in such delicate surroundings.

In the summer (Augest) the pools are not realy fool. There is 1 big pool that is great. Its fun to go as far as you could but at some point you need snapling equipment to continue. Its a great location sins its only 10 min walk from your car

A short walk to bathe in the cool river water and enjoy the natural rock pools. There were very few people there and it was very pleasant to explore the area

The Archaeological Museum of Nikopolis is located at the north entrance of the city of Preveza. It is dedicated to the ancient site of Nikopolis, providing essential insights into the history and artifacts discovered in the region. I recommend visiting the museum before the archaeological site by the way. It also overview the history of the city over 2000 years from the creation in the Roman period to Late Antiquity following the modern time.

Lovely modern museum outlining growth in Nicopolis area and growth of Christianity in Roman empire. Can get a bus from Preveza or walk 30 mins from there. Ensure you include site A open, a further 2km more with Byzantine wall area.

Surprisingly informative, descriptive museum with a diverse array of artifacts from the hellenic era Roman ruins on an older Greek city site.

Excellent museum, very informative and plenty of artifacts to look at

Excellent exhibition for Nicopolis. Must visit before visiting the open area archeological sites!

The museum is excellent and well thought out. It gives you a lot of information about Nicopolis. How it formed, different time periods and how it has come to be in it's present state. It is a shame though that the actual archeological site is poorly managed.

Simple layout with artifacts from the excavation nearby. Somewhat interesting but not for €10 per person. Takes about 30 minutes to walk around.

Beautifull place with nice water and rocks! In the beginning it’s really cold but if u mostly be in the water it will be less bad. Definitely reccomend!!!

An impressive place, definitely worth visiting and a person to experience their own adventure. You need aqua shoes because the water is quite cold, as well as a dry bag for luggage, they are sold in the parking lot. In places the water is deep, but everyone can explore as far as they want. They offer a variety of adventures, horseback riding, kayaks and boats on the river.

Lovely place with stunning, picturesque sites, definitely worth visiting. But the river is freezingly cold, literally could not keep my feet in it for more than ten seconds. Rafting is a must and we chose the first one to offer us this, at the very beginning of the tourist site. All in all, really well-organized, and definitely we will come again some day, just fully- equipped next time, to be able to explore more of the canyon.

The best excretion in the area... One of the best rivers to walk and swim in Greece... Really worth the visit and try some of the activities in the river like horse riding, zip line, cayak etc.... Highly highly recommended really impressed with the area...suitable for all ages from very young children

"Are you far from the river?". Our trip to the River Acheron was the highlight of our recent holiday in Parga. It is a truly extraordinary experience which I will never forget. The water is refreshingly cold and it gets so deep at points at the Gorge that you may have to swim. There is also rafting, kayaking and horse riding. There are plenty of places to eat in Acheron, beautiful open-air stores and bathroom facilities.

Life changing experience. Be prepared for cold swims and a bit of climbing. Bring swimming shoes though, or buy some before entering! Truly an incredible experience that everyone should go through at least once in their life.

Beautiful place not to be missed if you’re nearby

One of the BEST hotels I've ever stayed at. The staff are incredibly professional, friendly, and always willing to help. The service throughout the entire stay was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious—truly next level. The views, the beach, and the service provided there were beyond amazing. Everything about this place was perfect. HIGHLY recommended. We will definitely be returning!

This time my experience was completely different — and in the best way! The hotel is still wonderful, with its beautiful views, spotless rooms, and perfect location near the beach. But the biggest change was at reception: the gentleman who welcomed me was super friendly, helpful, and made me feel genuinely valued as a guest. It’s amazing how much a warm smile and kind attitude can elevate the whole stay. Well done I also want to make a special note of the guys who work in the bar-restaurant where breakfast is also served 🥞 They are very friendly and cordial, bravo to all of you. now everything matches the beauty of the place!

Fantastic service from we arrived until we left. If I could give more stars I would!! Help with luggage, always a smile and help when needed. Lovely room, with the most amazing view. Short walk into Parga, with lots of nice restaurants. Don’t miss out on Valtos Beach own restaurant though!! We had lunch there and it was really nice! Again the staff was really nice and helpful! Thank you for a lovely stay!

This hotel is very good due to its location and very friendly staff. The hotel itself is very modern and of a high standard. My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The food quality in the restaurant is very good and we enjoyed a lovely breakfast each morning in the nice setting next to the pool. The walk into Parga centre is approximately 15 minutes, however we stopped at Mikes bar for a cocktail which was a nice way of breaking up the journey. There is also the option of the little boat taxi which seems to be quite regular. As far as our room was concerned it was just ok. We had a two bedroom apartment which had lovely views to the sea and was quite spacious. There were a few things which let it down. Firstly the bathroom was quite old and dated and could do with modernising. We has a bathtub instead of a shower which meant standing in a bath which had a sloping bottom. It was a little dangerous stepping over the bath edge whilst standing on a slippy sloping surface. I couldn’t figure out how to fill the bath as it seems the water can no longer be diverted from the shower so the bath was useless anyway. Another thing to mention is that there were no full length mirrors anywhere in the apartment which my wife and daughter found to be a problem. The only mirrors available had no plug socket near so using a hairdryer was a challenge. We really loved the hotel and our stay here. We would happily stay here again but maybe would not book the two bedroom apartment.

Nice hotel with good service in Parga. Great location by the beach, but parking can be tricky if you don't find a lucky spot. Pool closed too early and food was just okay, overall good experience but felt overpriced.

The hotel is spotlessly clean, its fresh and modern. Quite clearly had some serious money spent on it. The staff are fantastic and cant do enough to help. However its not without its small problem, there were a few issues which let it down. We booked through TUI, (rated 3☆) and was expecting €2 room tax, but when we got there, its official rating is 4☆. We were there for 3 weeks, we truly didn't expect €210 room tax. This was a massive shock for us. Sunbeds: there aren't enough. If you want one, then get up at 7.30. (Otherwise forget it). Anyway they have hotel beds on the beach so not all's lost. And we actually prefer the beach anyway, However, these are charged at €15~20 per pair. So thats another €300, that we wasn't expecting. With no discount for hotel guests, and no 'eat in our restaurant ' incentive. Then when you do rent a hotel beach sunbed, you can't take your own food & drinks. The pool suffered an algal bloom of some sort. the water was murky green for at least a week to ten days. I wouldn't have let my dog swim in it, let alone guests. Our bathroom had an occasional foul smell. It would be fine for 3 or 4 days, then the next day it would be back. It would just come and go occasionally. I suspected the shower grid. In conclusion: ive no doubt it was rated 4☆ for a valid reason, but im not convinced that it should still be rated 4☆. It's probably the most modern and cleanest greek place we've stayed in, but i've stayed in just as good 3☆ establishments. We had a really nice time, but for what we spent and what we received, it could have been better.

We’ve been back for a third time and we just love this place. The staff, the hotel, the food, the location - everything. We love this place and will be back for sure.

Very nice beach with amazing scenery and turquoise water. There’s a little cocktail boat bar and paddle boards for rent. The walk through the water is absolutely worth it. I have to warn you however there are no sunbeds or restaurants. Also you have to be careful to not leave your food, because the local goats will eat it. Worth it for a family

It's a very interesting beach because it's on an island, so you have to go through the water to get there. The beach is pebbly and the water is shallow. It's very good for swimming and snorkelling. There is another small beach close by, which is accessible via a trail through the woods. It is also very beautiful. The main attraction is the goats that live there and are very friendly with tourists.

Perfect for kids. The middle beach area is the best with sand on the bottom. The right one is less crowded, excellent for padl boarding. You have to walk through the water to get to the beach area. It is reachable by boat.

Nice beach, nothing special. Nice walkable pass between the land and an island. Be careful of the goats! They come from the ambush and eat everything eatable you have taken with you on the beach. When they are in a feeding frenzy they don't give a damn about anything around them. Really anoying moment on the island. They show up from nothing.

interesting experience, until wild goats started coming :), worth visiting we explored the area with snorkles, some cove areas deeper have few garbage left and not a pretty site. There is a boat for drinks and food water is great and open beach with fantastic views and natural shade if wisited from afternoon.

A beautiful spot below Movenpick, with crystal-clear waters and soft sand. The highlight is the shallow stretch where you can wade across to a small island on foot—an experience that feels unique.

The two stars are for the natural environment and the experience of going to an island on foot...Other than that, you are in for an unpleasant surprise...the beach is dirty, the path to the second beach is filthy and filled with used paper towels after people wiped you know what...This alone makes you feel that sand and sea are also dirty...It's a shame...Avoid at all costs it really isn't worth it as there are so many (much better) options...

100% recommend! We came here by boat. The beach is absolutely gorgeous and there is a path to the restaurant where there is a shower and a big terrace. The food was delicious, I had grilled prawns and Jake had mussel saganaki. We had bread to start with lovely olive oil. Cocktails are yummy too. Staff were really nice, we waited no time for the food! Overall a 10/10

My family was on the beach and in the restaurant. The beach had a very nice atmosphere and silence, my children could sleep peacefully under the sound of the sea. For dinner we went to the restaurant, where we enjoyed delicious food and pleasant music, the children were delighted. Without a doubt, I can recommend this place.

Everything is very tasty. Attentive waiters pleasantly surprised, very good and fast service. Surprisingly good value for money. Everything is delicious! All dishes are perfectly cooked.Everything is top notch! Thank you very much, I liked everything!!! I recommend it to everyone!

I was very pleased with the restaurant's food and service. The prices for the food correspond to the quality, very tasty. We will definitely come back again

The restaurant itself has some work to do before reaching a good level. The staff is ok but they have a monopol on the beach and if you don't take lunch at them, will charge you 50 eur (the staff from the beach) or 35 eur(the person from the bar) for sunbeds which is rather unprofessional becasue they just randomise the price on the spot. This is very unreasonable considering that most of the people will eat anyway or drink something at the bar. It's not ok to force the people to have lunch (the food should be more quality because we had bad salad on the plate). If you have lunch they will charge you 25 eur on the sunbeds set.

Best ice coffee I’ve had on the whole trip. A bit pricy but expected. Nothing beats a succulent tender chicken souvlaki on a white sand beach!

Great place, not only delicious food but also cocktails. The barman and staff are very friendly, we will definitely come back again, thank you.

Visited this beautiful castle with my fiance, to watch the sun set over Saranda, it didn't disappoint absolutely stunning, enjoyed a glass of wine which I topped up with lemon soda. Perfect end to our holiday to Albania. We didn't eat here this time as we had already eaten but the pizzas looked lovely so we will be sure to try them on our next visit.

Perched atop the hills overlooking Saranda, Lekursi Castle offered one of the most spectacular views I’ve ever experienced. From up there, I could see the sparkling Ionian Sea, the city below, and the surrounding islands, all creating a breathtaking panorama that felt almost magical. Exploring the castle ruins, I was fascinated by the history and the stories these walls must hold. The on-site café made it easy to relax while taking in the scenery, adding to the charm of the visit. Lekursi Castle wasn’t just a historic site—it was a stunning viewpoint and a truly unforgettable highlight of my trip.

Beautiful venue at the top of a mountain with the most fantastic view of the sunset. Generally everything was lovely, we all had good food, if slightly expensive compared to everywhere else …except I became unwell overnight from what I suspect was bad seafood pasta. It was probably only one seafood bit, as my reaction wasn’t too violent nor immediate, but it got me overnight and I was down for the next 2 days.

Beautiful views from the lower balconies – definitely the highlight of this place. The restaurant itself is not halal and the food is overpriced, but you’re really paying for the location and scenery. I’d recommend arriving at least 1 hour before sunset (2 hours if you want the best seats) to secure a good spot. Drinks are also on the expensive side. We had a margarita pizza and a few drinks before heading elsewhere for dinner. Overall, the views are absolutely amazing and worth experiencing at least once- but save yourself for dinner elsewhere.

I ate dinner at a castle with a pink sunset! This castle wasn’t what you would expect to be as a castle. It’s more of an outdoor venue for dining, concerts and performances. You can’t vest the view! The service here was impeccable. The food delicious, the wine even better. Parking is hard to find. We took a taxi up there. If you plan to take the bus, that looked a little shady.

We went there for the view, it was amazing, worth visiting. We could admire the walls of the castle, but there is a restaurant inside and it affects the original look. The restaurant itself looked nice, but we haven't eaten anything there. The castle is accessible by car until the gates

A place to meet the sunset in romantic atmosphere! Food for all tastes. If you one a bit luxury dinner its there and a bit further there is also a pizza place, but still with the same beautiful view. As also you can get only drinks, and still enjoy the sunset!

The place is amazing, full of history, and it has a very unique charm. The only thing I missed was a little shop or a refreshment stand… The area is quite large, so I would have appreciated some place to buy water or a small snack😊

We visited Butrint National Park and were truly impressed – it’s a beautiful and enchanting place full of history. However, I left with the feeling that more investment is needed in the park. There’s still so much to be discovered, with some monuments partially buried or even underwater. It’s a site with huge potential that deserves more preservation and attention. I also think guided tours inside the park would be a great addition – I would happily pay to learn more about its rich and fascinating history!

I was hesitant to visit because of the summer heat, but the park is surprisingly shaded, and there's a lovely breeze from the water that keeps things comfortable. The archaeological site is fascinating, with explanations at each part of the monument to guide you through. It takes about an hour to walk around, and while some paths are a bit steep, it’s manageable, just be sure to wear good shoes. The views are stunning, especially from the acropolis. Don’t miss the walk up, it gives you a breathtaking view of the entire site.

Well worth the visit. The ancient city has a ton of history from greek, roman, ottoman and venetian times. Mix of ancient ruins and more recent castles. Unfortunately no turtles there in early October

Very interesting peninsula with many ruins of Ancient Greek, Roman and Medieval structures, highlighting the historic meaning of Butrint. The visit takes about 2-3 hours and despite the heat, it was still manageable thanks to the abundance of shade. Highly recommended to visit when you are in the south of Albania

Lovely place to walk and visit with a lot of history! As you spend some time here, would have been nice to be able to get a drink or a snack but there was no place to get at least a bottle of water. Make sure you bring something to drink or snack with you.

Fascinating place if you like history. I walked here one morning (slightly accidental as I was only supposed to stroll to the bay near my hotel but missed my turn). Spent a couple of hours wandering around the old ruins. It’s lot bigger than I expected and well worth the 1000 lek/10€. Traffic was gridlocked at the entrance / little ferry when I left though. Pleased I walked it despite the heat. It’s worth parking at the top in car park over looking the bay and walking the last bit

If you are at Messonghi beach, book your travels directly with the Messonghi Travel Center and not through your hotel or other international travel agencies. Support local! They are super kind, gave us a much cheaper price than the hotel and the experience was really great! Booked our boat trip to Paxos and Antipaxos through them and it was a great experience. Thank you!

I truly can't recommend this place enough! From the moment we walked in they where friendly, professional and welcoming. I wanted to book a large group for my dads 70th. There was 20 of us. They gave us a great little discount and even offered my Father for free as a birthday gift. Once we explained it was my father's birthday, they went above and beyond!! We arrived to decorations, balloons banners and a wonderful welcome for my dad. We was given the full front of the boat. After the first stop when we arrived at the blue lagoon, they gave us all party hats, blowers and we sang happy birthday as the captain popped champagne. My dad had the most amazing day. He was even allowed to drive the boat 🥰 The whole crew we amazing and the captain was a wonderful man!!! Thank you so much for all the memories ❤️

Not recommended. The trip to Paxos and Antipaxos turned out to be a complete disappointment. The positives? The transfer from a convenient location was a big plus. Also, if you don’t have cash, you can pay by card at the office – another small advantage. But the trip itself was chaotic. The crew smoked cigarettes inside the cabins, where people were already seasick – there were even children inside, and passengers were vomiting from the smoke. We stopped at the Blue Cave for literally three minutes just to take a quick look. Swimming in Antipaxos lasted less than 40 minutes, and the crew behaved as if everything was allowed. On top of that, according to the website and the lady who sold us the trip, the itinerary was supposed to include visiting the town of Lakka, passing through the caves, one hour of swimming at the Antipaxos beach, and three hours in the town of Gaios. In reality, we only had a short swim in Antipaxos and two hours in Gaios. Nobody informed us in advance that the rest of the (in my opinion, more charming) places would be skipped. We were just moved from one place to another without a single explanation. It’s also worth mentioning that two-thirds of this “trip” was pure travel – a bus ride plus a boat that was absolutely not suitable for such a long cruise (the whole excursion lasted from 8 AM to 6 PM, including at least 1.5 hours on the bus and 4.5 hours on the boat). If we had known it would be like this, we would definitely not have gone.

A pleasant experience, from the moment I entered the agency to choose a trip until its completion. Friendly, polyglot, professional staff. We chose the Grand Tour, we saw amazing places of beauty and were driven on this road by a professional driver in the true sense of the word, on those narrow roads, on the ramp. It would be very good to prepare a tour to visit the palaces and fortresses. History only. Thank you indeed!

I would like to thank everyone that made my trip possible. Starting with the hotel I work at and especially the travel agency as well as everyone that was on the boat with me. It was a lovely experience and a complimentary one! Christos the mechanics, very nice and courteous guy!

Absolutely the best experience. We booked a trip to Blue Lagoon, the lady in the office in Boukari was very nice, patiently explained everything to us, showed us, answered all our questions. Unfortunately, we couldn't go on the day of the trip because of illness, so we went back to the office later and asked if we could go another day. Everything was possible, except they didn't have this particular trip on a day that suited us, so we could have gone on a bigger trip to Paxos without them charging us the difference in price. The trip itself was very well organized, they came for us on the minute exactly to the hotel, took us to the port. The whole trip was great! Everyone was nice, smiling. Amazing experience!

We went to Paxos-Antipaxos + Blue Caves cruise. Very picturesque and beautiful to look at, but I didn't like the organization of the cruise. The number of seats on the cruise is not limited, but there are very few on the ship, 20 - 30. There are seats inside the ship, but it is impossible to be there in heat, and the voyage is in hottest hours. The sailing time takes about 5 hours + 2 hours by bus. Half an hour is the arrival to the cave, 45 minutes of swimming in Antipaxos and 2 hours in the Gayous village. Useful time was very little.

Little bit difficult to reach this beach via narrow path from main road - about 30-40 min walking. The entrance to the Gjipe canyon directly from the beach trough the "camp" place. The nice walk into canyon untill the first more difficult big stone obstacle cca 600 (800)m from the beach - unfortunately with the broken climber rope = finish = no way to proceed.

Cons: mandatory paid parking (400lek) , and the campsite and few businesses around the area have massive amounts of trash at the bottom of the bay ( it does seem like they’re slowly working on taking it out after tourism season) , and it got pretty crowded as of October 20th by late morning/ early afternoon. Pretty low dangling electric line as well dropped across the whole beach Pros: it’s a nice beach, with nice rocks/ canyon behind it

We parked for just 4 euros in September, plenty of spots since we arrived early and hiked down about 20 minutes to the beach. The trail's rocky and uneven with all sorts of stones, so sturdy sneakers are a smart move to keep it comfortable. The beach itself is a dream: pristine and peaceful, with rentable sunbeds (we brought our own and set up near the caves at the far end for that secluded vibe). The water is breathtakingly clear and inviting, perfect for a refreshing swim. There's a cozy restaurant with reasonable prices, public bathrooms, and a little bar for easy drinks. Campers with tents dotted the area, adding to the laid-back scene, and if you're feeling adventurous, you can explore the nearby canyon hike. Head back before dark, the uphill climb takes 30-40 minutes and feels tougher, but we got lucky when a kind local in a jeep offered us a free lift to the top (we tipped him gratefully for the save). An unforgettable spot that's absolutely worth the effort. Highly recommend!

Just a wonderful place. Crystal clear water and breathtaking views. A little difficult to get to (you have to walk about 30 minutes on a rocky road and the scorching sun). It is very crowded in the season but there is plenty of space if you arrive in the morning. There is a bar on the beach. Before the descent there is a large paid parking lot where you can leave your car.

The only reason to go there is to combine hiking and beach, as there is an access to canyon which is beautiful. The beach is okey, the water was nothing special- we stay in Himare - the colors and quality of water much better. The view from the water to the canyon is beautiful. If you ask me, will I go again - my answer is no. 1) the road On the map the road leads directly to the beach. It does. But last 15 min it is very very bad , big stones, very narrow, on the slope, without any side barriers. We parked the care on the big parking spot, paid 4 euro. Then you go down this road by food ( take your sport shoes on). 2) expansive It was not crazy busy, we came at 15:00. Took a sunbads - 20 euro. There is no shower. So I think for that reason it is overpriced. 3) dirty There are a lot of campers. Who apparently contributed to the big dump and all that trash that lays on the back of the beach. 4) rude ppl who work at the “cafe” cafe looks like abandon barn. Ppl who work there are quite rude. My advice: you can enter the canyon from the road side, have a hike till the beach, stay at the sea, and return without all that experience.

While it's certainly beautiful and quite unique naturewise, the quantity of people there during summer is ridiculous. The beach itself is public though you can rent sunbeds etc. It's super crowded, people partying with loud music, and party boats passing by. Heaps of aggressive wasps and rubbish. Parking is chaotic and private (4€-8€ for a car), and the narrow access road makes getting there or leaving almost impossible during rush hour. Keep in mind that you'll have to walk 20min downhill to get there.

The beach is great and clean but the road down to it is very challenging. If you don't have an off road car, you have to walk to get to the beach and park the car at the parking on the hill. If you have an off road car, note that the road has a lot of stones and no side protection barriers. It's very difficult when 2 cars are exchanged because the road is narrow. The canyon is an extra beauty added.

Horrible beach with sharp stones, the kid responsible for the parking lot wanted to get in my car and park it for me, which was absurd to begin with. Of course I told him there is no chance of that ever happening, he got offended and then made a comment about my car being nothing special. Which was really funny since it’s a new car worth more than his salary over the next decade. Strongly reccomend to stay away from this mess.

It's not worth it for 20e for umbrella Very dirty old beds too much cigare around the beach and beds. We paid 750lek for two coffee and one water. This price it's not even in a the most expensive place in the Vlore. The shower not working no water even in the toilets The stuff are kindly and only Albanian language speak 😳

20€ for a umbrella with two seats, the whole area was full of trash and cigarette tips, dirty. Probably not have been cleaned in a week or so!!!! Not coming back!!!

many stones on the beach, difficulty getting in and out of the water. The parking lot was full of cars, there is no wifi.

1 week ago the sunbeds and umbrella were 15 euros, today 20 euros. Staff is unpolite, always not smiling.
