Where to Go: the 4 Best Evening Experiences Around the World

1.Halkidiki/Sithonia Swim, Sunset & Olive Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 165 reviews · 8 hours · from $53Our pick

Travel from Thessaloniki to Halkidiki with an English-speaking guide such as George, Eva, or Costas. Visit a family olive producer, taste local olives and sweets for an optional €5, swim at Kalogria Beach, and watch the sunset over the Aegean.

“Our tour guide, Konstantina (I hope I’m spelling it correctly), was very friendly and helpful. Likewise, the bus driver was very polite and drove safely. The fact that the tour starts in the afternoon is a good choice for hot summer days. You arrive at the beach during the best hours of the day and get to enjoy it fully. If you’re looking for an activity that doesn’t require waking up early and won’t take up your whole day, I definitely recommend it.”

2.Treurer: Olive Oil Night. Gastronomic experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 15 reviews · 4.5 hours · from $94Highest rated

At family-run Finca Treurer in Mallorca, Miguel guides you through EVOO production before a short olive grove walk and a five-course dinner built around the estate’s oil. The Saturday experience begins at 6:00 PM, lasts about four and a half hours, includes water, and is conducted in English or Spanish. Children under 14 cannot attend.

“We had the best time during this experience. The tour was really informative and interesting, Miguel was a friendly and captivating guide. We experienced the barbecue meal which was amazing value and delicious food. The dessert was especially delicious! The venue is as good as it looks and the ambience during dinner at the property was so relaxing. It was nice to do the tour as a group and then have our own private table for dinner. Would recommend this to anyone coming to Mallorca!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $70

Join guide Yorgos for a 3.5-hour walk from Liapades through olive groves, coastal paths, abandoned villas, Rovinia Cave, and Limni’s twin beaches. You’ll learn about olive oil, stop for a swim, eat a homemade pastry, and finish among the narrow lanes of a 17th-century village at sunset. Pickup is available from several Corfu resorts.

“This hike was way more than I anticipated. Yorgos was so nice & thoughtful in every way. I learned so much about the region, olive trees & olive oil. I saw so many beautiful hidden beaches & The vistas were absolutely amazing! I learned so much about the medieval town of Liapades as we wandered through it right before sunset. I cannot say enough good things about this hike. It was a highlight of my 12 day stay in Old Town Corfu, getting to see the beauty of the western side of the island. The guide was informative & the very best of my whole stay in Corfu. Please don't…”
