The guide was excellent!!!! Both Maria , the guide, and Dinos the van driver, we're very polite, helpful and knowledgable! They made our tip so pleasant and stress free! Maria is very charismatic and caring and we were all thrilled to have her as our guide! She wanted to make sure we get the best of our trip and was always willing to accommodate us in anything we needed! I can not recommend them enough!

You will even be given time to step inside 3 of them, where you can admire their stunning architecture and interiors. Think hidden gems and the tour will take you through ancient hermit caves, Chapel of Doupiani, and St. George Mandilas cave. Learn why the hermits settled in the magnificent caves 1000s of years ago and the monks' significance on the region's culture. There will be multiple stops for photo shoots too!
