A very busy itinerary in which we saw and walked some of the Greek islands, however at any point there were options to arrange to do your ‘own thing’. As a guide overall we walked 125km throughout the whole holiday.
The guide tells you so much which makes the trips so much more interesting and enjoyable. Some of the optional trips are chargeable.
The hotels were varied but all were clean. The breakfasts were adequate and were the same in most hotels. With such a busy schedule you need a good sleep but we did find the mattresses were too firm for us, waking with a few aches and pains!

I booked my honeymoon in Greece and Turkey and it was a fantastic experience! All the hotels, guides, and activities they recommended were excellent! Also, having all the internal transportation taken care of removes a lot of the trip's stress and makes it much more enjoyable. Highly recommended.
