This tour was a comprehensive introduction to some of the sites of ancient Greece, but also included Mystras, a Byzantine town and Meteora, a spectacular landscape with monasteries perched on top of huge rocks. I would personally have benefitted more from what I saw if I’d read up some information in advance. Lida, the guide was excellent, and she gave a lot of useful information about the sites and the mythology and history behind the sites and the history and mythology about them. The hotels were generally good quality though the Rex Hotel in Naufplio was a little tired decor wise. The Nidimos hotel in Delphi village had the best views! There was plenty to eat, of variable quality. The restaurant for the evening meal in Pylos was not very good; the booked group table was given to others, service was glacially slow and the food uninspiring.

Wonderful Wildflower Walking on Evia

Easy walking on hills and mountain gorges. The weather was nearly perfect, warm spring sunshine. Food was wonderful. The perfect antidote to a wet miserable British winter.

Overall it was a good tour but there are certain aspects that I would change. On the first day when we went to dinner in Athens we took the metro to Syntagma square and walked to the restaurant. Instead of walking in the park we should have gone for a tour of the Plaka which would have been so much more interesting and had more shops. Our tour leader did take us down one main avenue but that wasn't where most of the quaint shops were. Also I do recommend she use some sort of flag or umbrella so we can spot her in a crowd. I also would arrange the tour so we can spend more time in Slovenia as Lubljana was delightful.
