Greek Island Wanderer

This trip was a good introduction to Greece, the islands and the ferry system. There was a good mix of organized activities and free time for exploration. The guide went out of her way to make sure everyone had options, geared to their interests and abilities. I enjoy walking/hiking, and there was plenty of opportunity to do that along breathtaking scenery. Overall, a great trip!

This was a great tour with the right mixture of planned activities, optional activities and free time. The walks on each of the islands were a highlight - the scenery inland was just as spectacular as the coast. Our tour leader Peter was knowledgeable, supportive and fun. We had a great group too!

A great way to see some Greek islands and Athens. There is a fair amount of free time on this tour especially if not doing the optional walks and boat trips so I would recommend doing some research beforehand on things to do or places to visit to make the most of your trip.

Explore are really excellent. Our flight with EasyJet was cancelled as we were about to leave for Bristol airport at 4.00am on Sunday. EasyJet offered us an alternative flight two days later which would mean missing our walking group completely as we were island hopping. We rang the Explore Duty Manager who managed to sort out a new flight from London. His quick actions saved our holiday.

I’ve been with Explore many times, and this trip was right up there, Fotis the tour leader was so enthusiastic and we all became good friends, one of the best.

A fab holiday. An interesting time in Athens, really loved it so much to see and do from ancient to modern. A great time island hopping with Peter our leader at the helm. Nothing was too much trouble for him to sort out when needed, so thank you. All the islands visited were very different and our escorted walks very invigorating. Travelled with a lovely group so had a great time.

Some of the walks were proper hikes rather than walks. But the itinerary is really flexible so there are loads of other things to do if some of the walks are too hard. Excellent tour

This was a wonderful trip. Our tour leader, Christos was outstanding. The walks were beautiful.

Beautiful places and weather. We enjoyed a very wide range of activities eg swimming from beaches and boats as well as the hotel pools; walking across the interior of several islands and visiting ancient archaeological sites.
