Loved the trip and loved our Trip Leader Athina! I think the trip needs to be longer because 10 days wasn't enough time to explore and relax on each island. 14 Days would have been perfect! I would have also liked to stay closer to the main town areas but still somewhere relaxing and quiet. Athina was very knowledgeable and treated us like royalty. We loved her friendly and caring nature. She made sure each and every one of us had a great time.
I cannot rate this tour highly enough! Excellent tour from day one. As a solo traveler, I never felt left out. Everything was well organized and coordinated. The Santorini Hotel is very close to Thira so we were able to wander the streets and explore. The Mykonos hotel is not near town, but there was a regular public bus service. The views from both hotels were spectacular. Electra Hotel in Athens is very close to the main tourist sites and Plaka. I highly recommend this tour for solo travelers and couples. I wish I could spend more nights on the islands.
Eight days flashed past. We covered a lot of ground, but the travelling was carefully planned and broken up with site visits.
Our Greek tour guide, Eva, provided valuable information about where to eat and what to do in free moments. More about her later......
The hotels were comfortable and central. The driver, Manolis, was steady and safe and the roads are much improved.
