Me and my partner thoroughly enjoyed our vacation trip to Greece and Turkey. The cruise for was delightful and convenient for us. Loved the entertainment on board the cruise ship. We also loved Istanbul and Cappadocia thanks to our guide Mustafa . The hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia was great fun. The hotels were first class except the one in Athens was small one but well located. The weather was very hot, the crowds were surprisingly low. We thought it was due to pandemic. Many friends and family members were concerned for our health & safety before we left. Their concern was completely unfounded. Travel tips : Upgrade your hotel in Cappadocia to a cave hotel. Book your balloon ride at least one month before. It was a memorable trip.
Walking in the Greek Islands This was a trip that stimulated all the senses, from the wonderful colours of the wildflowers on the walks and the blues and whites of the pristine villages we passed through, to the tastes and smells of freshly cooked seafood at harbour restaurants. Apart from all the experiences described in the trip notes we were lucky enough to have some added bonuses. These included a fantastic bazouki recital and Greek dancing in the old town hall at Naxos which included unlimited drinks, a trip to the astonishing excavations at Akritiri on Santorini and, as the ferry arrived early at Piraeus on the last day, a visit to the Acropolis in Athens. Our last night's meal turned into a celebration when we were surrounded by a wedding party!
This was definitely a good time of the year to do this trip, a pleasant walking temperature of 19 to 25 degrees Celsius, everything looking fresh and generally not to busy (except for the main town in Santorini when the cruise ships were in). A wonderful Spring break with great company!
Our tour was well planned with variety and interesting points of interest. Our tour was well planned with variety and interesting points of interest. Everything was done top notch.
