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.
