A good leader makes or breaks a great trip We loved experiencing all the Classical sites on this tour of Greece. As others have mentioned, an extra night in Pylos would have been welcome, plus a visit to Nestor's palace. We would also have loved to have seen the whole of the Delphi site. What made the whole group experience such a delight was our guide, Stefania. With a background in archaeology and art history, she brought the whole thing to life, as well as handling all the practical details so effectively. The driver was great too. Hotels and restaurants variable, as you would expect across a range of places, but overall good with friendly people. A thoroughly enjoyable trip with many Classical highlights to enjoy.
Great facilities, great boat, good bikes, wonderful islands, and moorings. Plenty of swim times - all staff very helpful and inclusive. Like minded fellow travellers, incredible chef and his food was way too wonderful.
The tour was so good, it combined sightseeing all the best parts of Greece and local Greek experiences. We saw Delphi and Olympia with the best local guides, and we saw Meteora at sunset, and then the monasteries the next morning. The optional excursions were really reasonably priced and I recommend all of them, especially the Greek Evening, where we went to a local Greek farm and learnt all about olive oil (always but extra vurgin olive oil) and tried wine and had a beautiful meal followed by dancing. The first 3 days are really relaxed, day 4, 5 and6 are busier, so be prepared for that, but everyday is so good. I love Expat! #Yammas
