Evia is an amazing island, very green and lush and the walking was varied. I was pleased by the amount of history and local knowledge imparted by the guides. The butterflies, flowers, tortoises and slow worms interested me a lot. The hotel provided a very comfortable base with the sea, tavernas and sea front giving evening entertainment. This is a great mix of moderately challenging walking with great food, wonderful history and interesting nature. I would heartily reccommend this holliday
It was the most amazing experience of my life, to date! I love that everything was pretty much planned for me. I didn't have to worry about details. We were given a few options on activities, which was perfect. I would highly recommend anyone doing a trip with G and I can't wait for another one myself.
It was a great trip -- beautiful stone villages, friendly locals, tasty Greek meals, and very scenic walks every day. It was indeed physically challenging but well worth the effort!
While the scenery and the Greek experience were great, the trip was made by a great CEO - Spy! She was amazing.
Make sure to pack the following since they're not listed on the pack list: gloves, hiking poles, a sleeping bag liner, a fleece/windbreaker, and a beanie for the cold Mt Olympus climb. Also be prepared to use squatty potties for a day at the Mt Olympus refuge!
This trip was fast paced, very active and jam packed but stunningly beautiful! I am not sure what i was expecting from Crete but it wasn't this, this was even better! We got to swim in crystal clear waters, hike the famous Samaria Gorge, as well as visit archaeological sites, it had a bit of everything.
Our visit to Crete was definitely our Top 3 Hiking Tours (Mt Blanc and Portugal are runners up). The people are wonderful the food amazing. Fantastic routes and weather .
I had an exceptional, once-in-a-lifetime and unique experience on the G Adventures Walking in the Greek Islands tour. I loved the experience of not being the 'Chief Experience Officer' of the holiday for once, and was truely able to relax and enjoy myself. While it was a fantastic itinerary full of interesting and enjoyable activities, it was also the people that made it special.
I was excited to experience Greece & loved the variety of what the trip offered. Athens history, city area- sunsets, Island hopping , time on & in the water at beaches and off boats, wine tours, food & hiking ! Some of my favorite things. And our guide Nikos pulled it all together ... he was exceptional! The whole package! JT took true pressure off me having to make decisions ! Thank you Gdventures!
The information provided was excellent and the navigation app worked well. The accommodation was extremely good. Overall I found the walk more difficult than I expected, but in the end very rewarding.
