A truly comprehensive itinerary that allowed us to experience Greece and its history in depth from Athens and the Acropolis to Thessaloniki and King Philip’s tomb in the North, over to the west coast and down to Nafplio in the South. Visited bee keepers and olive oil producers and multiple archeological sites all along the way. We learned about the real Greece, including a stay at a small town, Galaxidi, for a taste of small town life. This packed tour ended with a two day stay in Crete to see its archeological sites. Our guide, made this tour fun, taking us to lunch or dinner and making sure we experienced authentic Greek cuisine. She went out of her way to see to the comforts of everyone on the tour and made the whole experience one to truly remember.
The itinerary was wonderful with variety; Museums, food, local culture, village life, etc all included. The only thing to make it better would be to add a two or three day option of the Santorini, etc islands. Beach life was missed.
