About Greece Bird Tours

G(caps)reece Bird Tours is run by experienced greek bird guides and birdwatchers. Most of us also enjoy bird photography (you name it, we are Canon guys).

Our goal is to make you have the best and memorable birdwatching experience in Greece, while feeling safe and relaxed throughout the trip.
