Athens Chill out Trips

The itinerary was exactly what I expected, since I have traveled with Trafalgar on previous trips. That is why I continue to go with Trafalgar when possible. So much information and sightseeing, awesome trip.

The tour was first class from start to finish including the transportation to and from the airports, the tour manager, bus driver and the accommodations. Our tour manager shared so much information about the Greek culture and its history. He also guided us to the best places to eat. Besides seeing important sights like the Parthenon, the Acropolis, the Akrotiri Museum and the Parliament building, I highly recommend the Mykonos Farmer as one of your excursions.

Tour of Acropolis was excellent but felt that there were other sites in Athens which should have been included. The Natiional Archaelogy Museum is a treasure and should have been a basis for all of the sites we visited all over Greece.. It was a wekl-planned itinerary which allowed us to see a wealth of famous historical sites as well as showing us some contemporary “slices of life”. Good tour director, site guides and driver as well as wuality a commodations, coach and meals.

Having never been to Greece, the Collette tour allowed us to enjoy an overview of Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini. The tour provided experiences that included both past and present Greece-from the Acropolis in Athens to local culture and food experiences on the islands. Opportunities to be more adventurous were available. One regret is museums were not a defined inclusion of the tour, and we did not have an opportunity to access them on our own-particularly the museum near the Acropolis. Two hotels were changed from what was in our brochure, which was a bit disappointing because of the locations of the newly chosen hotels, but all accommodations were very nice.

The King Minos Hotel in Tolo. The view was fantastic. The tour of the Archaeological Site of Mycenae was at the same time. It is really hard to pick one thing. They were all fantastic.

Your was the perfect mix of group activity and free time. Travel arrangements were very well executed and made going between destinations very easy. Santorini was by far the highlight of the trip. Excursion to the ruins was very interesting.
