Off road beauty with a fabulous wine experience

Unbelievable views, great wine, great guides!!
Panos and Venatia (sorry if misspelled) took us out of the busy city of Athens and into the beautiful country side. Not only was it relaxing but they were also so accommodating and knowledgeable. They even brought us some snacks (sandwich with veggies from his own garden!) The winery museum was much bigger than I have ever seen and Irina (the wine sommelier) was able to tell us not only history of the company and wine in Greece but recommend great Greek wine bar in Athens. Overall great time and great people!! We liked so much we saw them again next day:)
Response from the operator: Thank you for the review!!! It was really a pleasure meeting you and offered you a great experience!!

Best trip ever! We had a blast!
Our off-road experience was so much fun! Yvonne picked up my boyfriend and me at our Athens hotel and we headed out into the countryside. Soon we were bouncing along on rugged trails on the mountainside, among groves of olive, fig and pistachio trees, as well as vineyards. The scenery was stunning, and it was especially wonderful because there were no other people in sight for hours. It was as though we had the world to ourselves for a day. Our excursion included a visit to a lovely winery, Domaine Costa Lazaridi, and a private tour of Wine Museum. The museum is fascinating and contains hundreds of artifacts, and our guide was very informative. Our wine tour ended in a beautiful bar area, where we tasted several wines and enjoyed a scrumptious charcuterie. After enjoying our wines and snacks, we were back in Yvonne's vehicle for more adventures on the trails. We stopped at a high hilltop which overlooked beautiful Marathon Lake far below. As we stood there taking in the view, a rare August thunderstorm moved in. It was refreshing and beautiful! It made our ride down the mountainside even more of an adventure, as the pouring rain created rivulets everywhere. Yvonne is an excellent driver and navigated the rocky, winding, muddy trails like an expert. We had so much fun, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves nature, wine and good company. Yvonne is the best!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much!!!!! Its very important for us, people that they have travel so much to enjoy our tour!!! I really enjoy your company too!!! and I want to see you again! till then ....travel as much as you wish !!!

Beyond the city limits....
A great day to enjoy Athens beyond the city, highly recommended. Picked up from the hotel drove through the outskirts of Athens to enjoy some lovely wine and tour of the winery. The best part was driving through the beautiful countryside, stunning out of the way places with great company. Pano and Yvonne have really created something special on roads less travelled with lovely food and wine..
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review!!! Your opinion is really important for us and of course for other travelers. We are very pleased that you enjoyed our offroad experience and we hope to see you again.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private 4x4 Wine Tour from Athens to Marathon Lake and a Winery: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Private 4x4 Wine Tour from Athens to Marathon Lake and a Winery cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Private 4x4 Wine Tour from Athens to Marathon Lake and a Winery take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Private 4x4 Wine Tour from Athens to Marathon Lake and a Winery worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 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 Private 4x4 Wine Tour from Athens to Marathon Lake and a Winery?
+
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 Private 4x4 Wine Tour from Athens to Marathon Lake and a Winery suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private 4x4 Wine Tour from Athens to Marathon Lake and a Winery?
+
Around 7 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private 4x4 Wine Tour from Athens to Marathon Lake and a Winery 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 Small Group E-Bike Tour, Small Group Greek Traditional Food Tour in Athens 20+ Tastings, Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis. 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.
