Highly recommend! Personalized Poseidon tour is a must!
Highly recommend! What an amazing experience and a great way to see poseidon temple & lake vouliagmeni. This day tour is a must! Our tour guide was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The ride was very comfortable and smooth and easy. They even customized it for us to include wine tasting at a local vineyard! We loved the wine makers and the entire experience, a must!

Athens Private wine tour
What a wonderful day! Our driver Dimitris was extremely knowledgeable of the area and so pleasant. We enjoyed learning about the history of the Markou winery and really enjoyed the wine tasting with the fruit and cheese pairing. So sad many of these aren’t available in the states. The grounds were beautiful and our sommelier was friendly and very knowledgeable. The 2nd winery was equally as pleasant and surprising in a residential area. We thoroughly enjoyed the thoughtful pairings of bruschetta, sausage and cheeses with each variety. The sparkling wine was delightful. We were greeted by several members of this family run winery which only added to the warm and made the experience more inviting. We loved this private tour for our family group and would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys wine.

Private Wine Tasting Experience of Greek Awarded Wines at Athens Wine Suburb: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Private Wine Tasting Experience of Greek Awarded Wines at Athens Wine Suburb cost?
+
Prices start at $286 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 Wine Tasting Experience of Greek Awarded Wines at Athens Wine Suburb take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Wine Tasting Experience of Greek Awarded Wines at Athens Wine Suburb worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 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 Wine Tasting Experience of Greek Awarded Wines at Athens Wine Suburb?
+
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 Wine Tasting Experience of Greek Awarded Wines at Athens Wine Suburb suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Wine Tasting Experience of Greek Awarded Wines at Athens Wine Suburb?
+
Around 5 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Wine Tasting Experience of Greek Awarded Wines at Athens Wine Suburb 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.
