It was very informative. The roads were very narrow and it was tense moments of passing other vehicles. Saw amazing views and the guide was extremely knowledgeable. Would have liked to have the option to have lunch at the old port instead of where we stopped as it was extremely hot and there was a lovely breeze at the Port. Great day out and certainly value for money

There, take the chance to taste the local Citron drink.

A visit to Apeiranthos will give you the chance to see the famous marble village and shop in local traditional shops.
