A perfectly organized self-guided hike. - This was an amazing, perfectly organized self-guided tour. Eleni, our contact, took care of everything and was co Stanton in touch. My wife and I were hiking on our own, but we alsways felt confident that Eleni and her team had our back. Even though it was barely in season, all the accommodations were welcoming and comfortable. Really, it could not have been better. We’re planning a 2-month trip to Greece on 2024, doing several Trekking Hellas self-guided tours back-to-back.
Tip: Beleice them when they say to download and use their GPS tracks! Greek trails are not as well marked as those in, say, Switzerland. Eleni and Georgos provide perfect GPS files for every step of the way. Get an app, bring a spare battery for you phone, and use their data!

Great 2 hour trekking with picknick - We went for a 2 hour hike with a private group. The route and pace were excellent. The atmosphere created was open and we had great information on flora and fauna.
The picknick with homemade sheepfeta, cheesecake, olives and local spirit was a positieve surprise.
Thanks for the great trekking.

Idyllic hike surrounded by natural beauty of Greece - Our guide Hilda was awesome! We started the hike in the town of Delphi & slowly made our way down to the massive olive groves (more like a plantation really). The views were spectacular & perfect mild autumn morning weather. Along the hike Hilda pointed out the floras like wild thyme, wild asparagus, wild onions, & various other bushes & berries that the locals use for food & medicine. When we got to the olive groves, she told us about the cultivation of the olives while we ate snacks she brought for us of Greek cheeses, olives, & bread. She also told us about other aspects of the land & some local history. A perfect mix of active, culture, & natural history.
The 6km hike took us maybe 3-4 hrs but we were slow & stopped some. All downhill though. Hiking poles definitely a must to save your knees, but Hilda brought us poles to use. And very rocky path so wear your ankle braces if you have ankle issues like me. We are a family of 4 with 2 not very active teens. Make sure you eat a good big breakfast before you start.

Stunning views, experienced and knowledgeable guide, loads of fun! - We spent the day following the ancient footpath down to the Temple of Apollo in Delphi. Our guide was fantastic! She knew the history, of course, but also shared local stories and information about the land and area. The hike was beautiful and the experience was well worth spending an extra day in the area. She even had a restaurant recommendation that was phenomenal!

Hike to Pan’s cave - I enjoyed everything about this tour- the drive up into the mountains, the views during the hike to Pan’s cave, exploring inside Pan’s cave, and the delicious tea and snacks that Hilda, our guide, prepared for us. Hilda’s knowledge about the mythology and current stories about the region made the tour even more memorable. This off the beaten track tour is totally worth it!!

Must do in Delphe/Arachova - Amazing tour on the Mount Parnas, Hélène has an extensive knowledge combining nature and mythology. Splendid site, the hike is relatively easy, but just hard enough to have a real effort that makes you conclude proudly : we did it ! The view is gorgeous, what else ? Definitely a must do. For us the tour was in French as Helene is bi-cultural. Perfect.
