Highlights of the Greek Islands
4.7
Our tour was first rate, but what really made the difference was our leader, Charlotte! There were 15 of us in total. And throughout the week, she made sure that every single member of our group was having fun! Both of the walks were fantastic and the scenery was unparalleled! Although Santorini was beautiful, Naxos was a wonderful surprise. Knowing so little about it before the trip, it was such fun to explore and discover. The Explore app is a great new addition, putting our itinerary right at our fingertips. But there were some discrepancies with timing when it came to the ferries. None of us objected to the lengthy ferry ride from Athens to Naxos. But the itinerary said it was 5 hours when the reality was 7. We would have like better information upfront. Also, skip the hotel dinner at Santorini. There are too many wonderful restaurants to try! We don't need a mediocre buffet dinner. We all would have preferred a cocktail or drinks gathering, or nothing at all. Overall, this was my second trip with Explore and I am now confident that there will be more. This was such a lovely week filled with great experiences and wonderful people. I want to thank the Explore team for the great work that they do with their tour leaders. Again, Charlotte is a star! She is to be commended for her stellar job. Every member of our group adored her! She was so attentive and so in tune with both us and the locals that we interacted with. We felt so well taken care of.
