We went on the six Island tour and was by far the most enjoyable day on my holiday. It started with travelling along the stunning coastline, swimming in two beautiful locations in the clearest waters, followed by visiting two caves (both the blue and green caves) along the island's and finally visiting. Can't recommend this trip more, and will be booking again when I next visit.

Tour was wonderful. Enjoyed the evening of local folk dancing, pastry making and demo of clay making. The museums were excellent. I also enjoyed the sail boat ride to several Greek Islands. The only negative was the hotel in Naxos. Moldy bathroom and too far from town. Tour manager was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job of showing us all aspect of Greece.

The overall tour was wonderful. One of my favorite parts was our visit to Krk. I'm not sure why, it just drew me in. But all of our ports were great. Siri was a great tour manager/guide. She was fun and personable. I loved the size of the group. Perfect to interact with everyone. I loved the boat/yacht. I want to do more tours like this. The history throughout Croatia and Venice was amazing and I enjoyed hearing about it since I wasn't familiar with Croatia.

This was a tough but thoroughly enjoyable trip in a very beautiful part of the world. The challenging grade is about right; be prepared for a lot of rocky steep ascent and descent including a fair amount of scrambling and using fixed cables/chains. Some parts (particularly the ascent to La Om on Day 4 and the ridge along the top) are pretty exposed. There is a good mix of tougher and somewhat easier days to break things up with some nice forest and meadow sections. The reward is some amazing scenery in a relatively unspoilt part of the world. The whole trip was very well organised and accommodation at Villa Hermani was very clean and comfortable, with friendly hosts and great food. The mountain huts were a good experience but be prepared for very basic toilet and sanitary facilities.
