As a professional in the Adventure/Experiential Travel industry for 26 years, I've primarily guided small group tours for active adults - along with designing and organizing tours. From Ireland to Turkey, Italy to the Czech Republic, Morocco to the Highlands of Scotland, and pretty much every corner of Greece, I've been there - often more than once - and have personally escorted more than 2000 guests on one-of-a-kind adventures. The trips I've designed allow for authentic experiences involving rich cultural connections. We generally stay at small, elegant, family-owned hotels, employ expert local guides when necessary, sample traditional cuisines, and engage in active excursions, all within a framework of responsible tourism. Since 1998 when I started working for some of the leading companies in the active travel industry, I began understanding the idiosyncrasy of the North American traveler. My guests were my comrades, my companions, and we shared common goals: ensuring safety, enjoying leisure, gaining experiences, exceeding our limits and achieving a self-actualization that only travel can offer. I don't believe in leading the way, but rather paving the way to a breathtaking view or a memorable experience, allowing the guests to meet (or exceed) their expectations themselves. My hobbies include hiking, cycling, photography, caring for my olive groves and cooking for large groups of friends. Home base is also still one of my favorite destinations, the Southern Peloponnese. 26 years of experience designing and leading walking, cycling, van and yacht tours in Greece for English-speaking guests. Several former client referrals can be provided upon request. Certified in First Aid.

A Full Day Exploring the Mani Peninsula
Overview of your Kalamata tour
Treat yourself to a full day on the Mani Peninsula, a region known for its rugged terrain, vast olive groves, Byzantine churches, castles, and stone hilltop villages. The tour has been carefully designed to offer a balance of cultural and historical sites, wonderful walks, free time on a magnificent beach, and a great meal. Your guide, a local of the region, will take you along a breathtaking coastal route and plan stops in traditional villages, spectacular view-points and a few known (and some unknown) attractions. You will not only enjoy the comfort of being driven from place to place by an experienced driver/guide, but you will also have the pleasure of listening to valuable presentations about the myths and history, architecture, religion, flora and fauna, herbs and spices, culture and customs, culinary traditions, politics and modern day life in the Southern Peloponnese.
Your Kalamata tour itinerary
The itinerary has been thoroughly planned in order to accommodate various interests and high expectations. However, the final itinerary will be based on guests' preferences and will be determined during your correspondence with your guide. As one would expect from any trip that takes in the Mani peninsula, the tour visits the villages of Kardamyli, Limeni and the town of Areopoli. What makes this tour special, however, are the less-known sites, that are not as accessible or easy to find, and the walks that require local knowledge. For further details on how this tour can be customized or extended to meet your individual expectations, feel free to contact your guide. Would you be interested in spending an extra day exploring Sparti and the Byzantine Castletown of Mystras? Ask your guide how you can add-on his "Sparta and the Castletown of Mystras" tour for a two-day "Grand Tour of Laconia and Messinia”, which includes the mysterious Cape Tenaro.
