    Excellent wine experience on the beach in a lovely atmosphere.

    We were pleasantly surprised with this wine tour. Great location on the sea and super wines. I'm Greek and I learned interesting information about Greek wines and how they compare with other well known wines from France and Italy. My girlfriend and I live in Athens and we often head south to the beaches. We love this beach bar to begin with, and this is the first time we tried a wine tasting. It was well worth it. Kris is very knowledgeable and a gracious host. The wines we tasted were incredible, and now I have some new favourites to add to my cellar. Highly recommend.

    A TRULY GREAT WINE TOUR

    My wife and I had an awesome time! We have done a few wine tours in our day, but this was the best, and our favorite, by far. The selection of wines and the pairings were awesome. More than that, the stories, the conversation, and the knowledge that went along with all of it was just our style; Kris can talk technically, he can talk casually, but he was always talking with us, not at us. He did a great job of answering our questions while appealing to our own relationship with wine - we appreciate fine and vintage bottles, especially here in Europe, but we also love great value wines that retail for $10-$20 per bottle. Kris was very knowledgeable about the unique characteristics of Greek and Mediterranean wines, and he connected those with wines we know we love from France and other countries. We live in southwest Germany, so we talked a lot about wines from Germany and France. Greek wines are relatively new to our pallet, but we found all of it very enjoyable. When you learn about the climate, the terroir, the food culture, and how people historically drank wine in Greece, it all makes so much sense. Such fun. Kris was disarming, approachable and knowledgeable. He was a great resource, guide, and a fun conversation. We even got to meet his dog named “Riesling”. She is such a sweet dog. Thank you so much Kris. We had a blast and we wish Eat Drink Fun all the best!

    Simply great

    Our expert-led wine tasting on a serene Greek beach was exceptional. We delved into the world of wine with industry-standard techniques and discovered Greece's unique wine heritage. The experience was perfect for all, from beginners to connoisseurs. The setting was idyllic, blending relaxation with elegance, ideal for unwinding pre or post Greek island adventures. With flexible scheduling, we enjoyed leisurely beach time and nearby activities at our own pace. Special dietary needs were accommodated, ensuring a personalized and memorable day.

    Greek Wine Tour with a Sommelier & Beach Day - Athenian Riviera: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.

    How much does Greek Wine Tour with a Sommelier & Beach Day - Athenian Riviera cost?

    +

    Prices start at $92 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Greek Wine Tour with a Sommelier & Beach Day - Athenian Riviera take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.

    Is Greek Wine Tour with a Sommelier & Beach Day - Athenian Riviera worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Greek Wine Tour with a Sommelier & Beach Day - Athenian Riviera?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Greek Wine Tour with a Sommelier & Beach Day - Athenian Riviera suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Greek Wine Tour with a Sommelier & Beach Day - Athenian Riviera?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Greek Wine Tour with a Sommelier & Beach Day - Athenian Riviera start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Athens?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Athens?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Athens?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
