Had a great time on this trip. I meet some amazing people and saw some amazing places. The trip was a little different to what I was expecting but overall I had the best time and created lifelong memories and friendships.
Fantastically enjoyable holiday If you like sparkling turquoise sea pretty much outside the hotel then this holiday is for you ! I found the walking quite tough as I wasn’t quite fit enough and as other reviewers state it’s more moderate than leisurely especially in June! However, I enjoyed the three walks I did enormously and it was amazing to get up (and down) to the Roman columns the view from which is so memorable and now my screen saver. Solid support and encouragement up and down from Cecile and lovely group members. Plenty to see and do if you want to dip in and out of the walking you can, ie to dip in and out of the sea on comfy sun loungers with inexpensive waiter service from the taverna whilst helping the Greek economy (what’s not to like). One day I went on an astounding snorkelling trip to the renowned Petali Islands : 7 hours for €35 including CAKE !!!
The Greece and Turkey Trip with a cruise was exceptional! We were led by the best tour leaders/guides (Nadir in Turkey and Aris in Greece) who had the utmost concern for our safety and enjoyment. The itinerary was well planned with a good balance of activities as well as spare time. Until Turkey part the tour was almost independent. Hotel in Athens was excellent and located very close to Plaka. Transfers and flights were on time. When you arrive to Ankara , you are joining a fully escorted group. Hotels in Turkey are good but the dinners are weak at the hotels. We recommend you to upgrade in Cappadocia to a Cave Hotel. And have a dinner in Urgop town. Top notch! The tour has a reasonable price also. I recommend
