Bottled water included. Lunch is on you.

What to expect
Your guide will steer clear of tourist traps, instead weaving through smaller villages and lesser-known viewpoints where you can genuinely see how the landscape changes. Expect winding roads, several stops to step out and take photographs or simply absorb the vista, and conversations about local architecture, olive groves and the way communities here have evolved. The pace is unhurried—this is about seeing the hinterland properly, not ticking boxes. You'll be on your feet occasionally but nothing strenuous.
Good to know
Bring comfortable shoes for village walks. Plan your lunch beforehand or ask your guide for local restaurant suggestions. The itinerary suits all fitness levels, prams and wheelchairs. Service animals welcome. Public transport nearby if you need alternative options.
