Overall the accommodation was great, the second location however was underwhelming and could be improved. The activities included in the trip were also a lot of a fun although the swim in the hot springs was not quite what we were expecting.

A marvellous group including 4 Canadians, 2 from the USA and 9 from the UK. We seemed to gel from the start and it was a pleasure to talk with everyone. There was a remarkable consistency in the fitness of the group and so very little hanging around even after some of the longer climbs. Very much enjoyed the cycling and thought the "moderate" rating was spot on. Distances were typically around 40 miles in a day. I found the hills quite manageable; some fairly long climbs but they tended to be steady climbs followed by some exhilarating long descents. There were cultural stops on most days at ancient sites and there was free time to explore. The guided tour on the final day at the Acropolis was particularly enjoyable. Excellent hotels with very friendly staff. Lovely views across the bay from one hotel; another hotel was situated right on the beach; in one hotel run by the family the breakfast included home-made specialties. Enjoyed the food. The group leader normally ordered a selection of local specialities for starters and on a couple of occasionally the main courses which gave the opportunity to taste genuine Greek food. We had a kitty for the lunch snacks fruit and drinks so again sampled many Greek specialities. The weather was the icing on the cake. A little windy and cloudy on the days of arrival and departure but for the most part clear sunny days and warm but not stifling.

The EBG1L tour starts at Athens and Ends in Athens at the same Candia Hotel where in the rooftop have swimming pool for cooling down overlooking a magnificent view of Acropolis. The timings and arrangement of daily activities were spot on on time, not hectic and no pressure affect on me or anyone I think. Smooth planning of our tour leader Marty is the key to all that smooth run. Thasos our Greek God driver made a huge contibution as well for our safety and safe travel of all places we went to. Our Coffee stops and bathroom breaks helps us stretch up and able to get our snacks along the way, so I never seen anyone uses the toilet in the coach. Cold water is also available for your purchase at Fifty Cents Euro at the Coach. Everyone elses get along very well and we have our favourite Greek music played along to warn you or a waking up sign as we are very close to our destinations. The tour guides hired for history telling were all so knowledgeable, facts and use of photographs helps alot to make you fully understands their explanations. I truly enjoyed the tour and will be back again as there are more to see and explore.
