I summed it up in my comments about my two awesome CEOs, Oliver and Vas, but I would just like just like to add that this was my first trip with G Adventures, and (fingers crossed) definitely not my last! Greece is a beautiful, complex, and diverse country, and I'm so grateful to have experienced it through this tour. Exploring the lush forests of Corfu, seeing the ancient ruins in Athens, walking through a village in Naousa, Paros, visiting the beaches of Ios, and of course, the ending in the iconic town of Fira in Santorini, all of these incredible experiences and memories were only enhanced by my CEOs, and my travel groups. I honestly couldn't ask for more out of a trip. To this day, I'm still a little amazed that I got to experience it at all. What a gift!

Our tour director was phenomenal! Without her we would have never been able to experience all that we did. She knew the insights of Greece and Turkey so well and made it so easy to navigate these places. The tour was great. Santorini and Mykonos took my breath away. We also loved swimming on the hotels rooftop pool while glancing at the Parthenon in the distance. Seeing the monastery up in the mountains was extraordinary, the local guides were incredibly knowledgeable and so welcome and to top it off the food was delicious! We also enjoyed the cruise. The cabin was beautiful and the boat had a ton of activities to enjoy. Best trip ever and very budget friendly.
