Athens Natural landmarks sightseeing Trips

Our trip was amazing and it was made so by our tour guide Marieke Koenders. Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable, but she was personable and took care of our every need. She is the best of the best!

The cave on Patmos was most inspiring. I thought our tour director, Theo, did a great job of taking care of all of us. The Meteora monasteries were impressive. The entire trip was well put together .

Our guide, Sapfo, was truly excellent. Without doubt the best group leader you could wish for. She was interested and engaged with everyone in the group. She was knowledgeable. She was super organized and nothing was a chore. Our group dinners every night were a big success. Her restaurant choices were excellent. Our driver, Georgiou, was also really great. He kept the Mercedes mini bus immaculate. He was a careful and considerate driver and you always felt safe even on the tight back roads of the Mani Peninsula. Itinerary is good except that Monemvasia should be included as part of the tour proper and Sparta dropped from the itinerary. Make sure you take the optional extra of visiting Monemvasia if offered. It is well worth it. Overall I would say the tour is best described as “very full on”. A lot of the ancient and medieval sites have many many steps and some of the stones are very polished from so many people stepping on them over thousands of years. So I would recommend wearing hiking shoes if you have them also also bringing walking poles if you have them. Both will help with climbs, of which there are quite a few as I say. Overall the accommodation was ok (but not brilliant) except for Hotel Galaxy (they need to axe Het Galaxy). The Pantheon City Hotel was the best. Our group got on well, and I think that was in large part due to our guide Sapfo.

A lovely trip from start to finish, great leader, good group and just loved the different Greek Islands. The itinerary was just right with plenty of free time for relaxing.

Review. Walking in the footsteps of Paul; Stylianos (Tour Guide) was above and beyond in his knowledge of what we saw; moreover, his “sidebar” knowledge of the country and political history was top notch! Definitely covered a lot of sights in our 10 days? Memories, our/my first ever cruise 🚢, and visiting both the Acropolis museum and monument on top of the hill.

Our guide Charlotte was the amazing...very knowledgeable, organised and efficient {a lot of coordinating transport from island to island}. Most of all she has a wonderful kind and caring personality...and managed to smile all the time!
