I had an amazing time. Both trip managers were wonderful, super helpful and lots of fun. I really enjoyed all the places we went and the activities. Going in May was definitely a good idea, the weather was warm but not too hot and the crowds were an okay size.
Amazing experience!! met the best people and had the best time! London to Athens was very jam packed and exciting, the greek island hopping was relaxing but also had lots of parties so it was a great way to end the trip!!

Athens is one of the most historic cities in the world, among the oldest cities in Europe with a history of 3000 years. A fascinating town full of highlights and surprises. Visit the Acropolis museum and site and learn about Greek civilization. But remember that Athens is not just about antiquity; Athens will offer you plenty of opportunities to savour the best of the traditional Greek cuisine. Kalambaka is a picturesque town with narrow cobble-stoned streets and traditional houses, some of them built right next to the rocks and have a long tradition in the production of hand-made, wood-carved objects, but also in the making of religious icons that are painted by domestic artists. Some of the workshops are located outside the town’s centre. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit some of them. Crescent-shaped Santorini Island is the most precious gem of Cyclades islands. The island itself though hides several gems where with this tour, you are given the chance to explore, see and admire.
