The USP: a thoughtfully curated blend of archaeological wonders, island beauty, and active exploration—perfect for travelers eager to discover Greece beyond the ordinary.
Good overall, breakfast could be better. Maybe a little better accommodation.
Lovely trip to Crete, showing the highlights of the island. It was nice to visit the smaller villages that I wouldn’t have known of. Beautiful scenery, clear blue water, and nice pebble beaches. The CEO Sakis was excellent and helped navigate us throughout the trip and recommended some really nice restaurants and bakeries. Ending in Santorini to see a different island with completely different vibe was a good way to end the trip.
This was a trip not to be missed!! The beauty of the country was breathtaking, and having an opportunity to explore remote villages and hikes with almost no other people around was magical. I loved the entire experience!
I enjoyed the camaraderie of small group size and I especially enjoyed going to places off the beaten tourist paths. I loved exploring areas only available only by boat/ferry. I loved the feeling of being alone on beaches or in my small group without hordes of other tourists around.
