Great 4 day 3 night trip by car in Greece

I found Lux Athens Transfers by chance for our group of 4 and certainly glad that I did! Our group opted to go to Greece early ahead of a pilgrimage tour and Yiannis and Petros did a great job from beginning to end. Yiannis was in regular communication via email around the planning and even with multiple changes around the schedule, he was able to plan a very interesting itinerary including the Meteora monasteries, Delphi ruins and museum, the Moka Olive and Bee Farm, Itea and Livadeia springs, and The Monastery of Housis Loukas. Hotel and restaurant choices were excellent! From pickup at the Athens Airport to drop off in Athens with our group, we felt very comfortable with Petros as a driver and a guide throughout Greece. His English is excellent and he is very informative about the culture. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Lux Athens Transfers and Petros for a future trip to Greece.

Fantastic Day Trip to Delphi!

Fantastic day tour from Athens!! Our driver Petros was early for our 7am start, the car was immaculate and he immediately bought energy to our day. Petros was a wealth of knowledge about Greece and happy to share his experiences and suggestions. We visited a fantastic restaurant in Delphi village as well as some wonderful photo stops in off the beaten track locations. An amazing day!

Delightful Day at Delphi!

Our day trip to the enchanting Delphi with L.A.T. team, was nothing short of fabulous! Petros, our driver, not only ensured a smooth and comfortable journey but also filled our expedition with laughter and light-hearted moments. His brief yet fascinating insights into the ancient world of oracles and mythologies, coupled with his witty charm, made our exploration of this UNESCO World Heritage Site even more compelling. The recommended local eatery offered us a delightful taste of authentic Greek cuisine, perfectly complementing our day of adventure. A huge thank you to the team for seamlessly blending safety, knowledge, and fun into our day – turning it into a memory we will treasure. Eagerly awaiting our next escapade with you!

Amazing Athens Excursions ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We were recommended to Petros from another trusted guide, and we were very grateful to have received such an excellent referral. We booked 2 x 1-day tours with Petros. The first was to Delphi / Thermopylae. From the start of the tour, Petros was very friendly and knowledgeable and treated us as he would treat his family! We could not have been more comfortable or relaxed as we listened to Petros talk about the countryside and the traditional Greek way of life. We concluded our tour with an amazing lunch (including a breathtaking view) as per his recommendation, and we couldn't have enjoyed it more. We shared many laughs and gained a great insight into the "real" Greek way of life. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Day 1 ❤️ Day 2, we booked a tour to Lake Vouliagmeni (a definite must-do, if you can) and sunset at Cape Sounion (Poseidon's Temple). Once again, we began our tour comfortably and very relaxed. Petros even surprised us with a coffee to start our journey 😊❤️ As we drove along the beautiful coastline, Petros kept us entertained (and laughing) with his wonderful sense of humour. Due to his advanced planning, we had ample time to relax and swim at the Lake before heading down to Poseidon's temple. Petros made sure we had enough time to enjoy the temple and we were rewarded with a subset we will never forget. As per the first day, we trusted Petros's recommendation for a dinner venue, and were once again extremely happy with his choice. We enjoyed our meal, some more laughs, and a very relaxed transfer back to our hotel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Day 2. As we said our goodbyes, we were very sad to depart Petros's company. Amanda and I would like to thank you Petros, for making our time with you very special. We will treasure these memories forever. You are to be highly commended for your services ❤️👏👏👏 If you are in Athens, and would like an amazing experience, we highly recommend booking with Petros. You will not be disappointed 🙂👍
