Walking and study tours in small groups

What about a photography tour on Santorini?

Dear visitor!

We present you a growing selection of walking, study and photography tours to destinations we know particularly well, such as Greece, Italy, the Canary Islands, Indonesia and others. NatureDiscovery tours are part of the VolcanoDiscovery family who is the tour operator, but have different focus - nature and culture and photography in general.

With many greetings
