Transform from a tourist to an adventure traveller
Our Philosophy
Our experiences consist on outdoor activities (snorkeling, hiking, trekking etc) based in Athens, Greece designed and led by inspiring locals. They go beyond typical touristic tours, where everyone stays anonymous, by immersing guests in a host's unique world. At the end of the experience, you will gain not only a new local friend but also a deep understanding of greek culture and lifestyle.
Eco (from Greek: οἶκος, "house", or "environment") deals with the balanced relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings. In our experiences, we respect and protect nature. All we leave behind us is only footprints!
Currently, we are covering the mountains of Athens, Vouliagmeni, and Evia island but consistently doing research and exploring new possibilities in order to keep our experiences fresh, interesting, and relevant. If you can’t find what you’re looking for or need more information, contact us directly.
From historical ruins to tranquil beaches, there are plenty of options for anyone who wants to explore Greece in a fresh, new way. Read on to discover the alternative outdoor activities available at Experience Eco. Choose from playful snorkeling or expertly guided hiking among others, and get in touch today with any questions or concerns.
Location: Athens riviera / Vouliagmeni
As everywhere else in the Mediterranean, snorkeling is mainly done during the summer in Greece, where the climate is warm and sunny from May to October.
Here, underwater life blossoms along the coast more than anywhere else in the Athenian Riviera. Plunging your mask into the water to observe octopus, green wrasses, damsels, sea breams and much more......
Location: Athens / Parnitha national park
When you visit a new destination do you enjoy hiking around the mountains with an experienced guide? Do you like hearing the local perspective on the culture of Greece? If so, then this experience a great choice for you. Experience Eco is ready to serve your every need.
Location: Athens riviera / Vouliagmeni
The Vouliagmeni bay is one of the most beautiful parts of the Athenian riviera, but also one of the most touristic and crowded. In this activity, it's possible to experience a quieter side of the dramatic coast.
There are many trails carved into the cliffs of the Vouliagmeni and we chose the most famous along a green hill high above the famous Vouliagmeni lake (thermal).

A good physical condition is required for most of the tours. For trekking tours you are adviced to bring a pair of trekking boots, a light jacket and a small backpack with your personall belongings.
By average all tours are not bigger than 4 participants. This is to keep the experience character and have more time to interact with your local host and deep dive into local culture! Moreover, this size complies with the Covid-19 hygienic rules for social distancing.
