Marna_M, Jul 2021
Our Driver was Venedictos who felt like a friend by the end of the day. He became our driver for all our transportation needs. He took us to the acropolis and told us the best places to get ice cream and showed us a private beach where you can rent a cabana or beach chairs for the day. He also showed us a lake where we could swim - both were places we would never have known were available in Athens. We had a great time and Venedictos was so warm and hospitable. We Highly recommend!
