Pretty packed schedule for the time. Some of the locations had challenges meeting dietary request.
Beautiful. Well planned . Saw everything i wanted .Value for money .
Itinerary is organized in a logical fashion. Didn't feel overworked trying to get to different sites.
If you tried to replicate the itinerary on your own, you would miss all the experiences that your travel guides and local experts had to offer! You miss the driver's expertise in getting you to where you need to go!
Our tour director was phenomenal! Without her we would have never been able to experience all that we did. She knew the insights of Greece and Turkey so well and made it so easy to navigate these places. The tour was great. Santorini and Mykonos took my breath away. We also loved swimming on the hotels rooftop pool while glancing at the Parthenon in the distance. Seeing the monastery up in the mountains was extraordinary, the local guides were incredibly knowledgeable and so welcome and to top it off the food was delicious! We also enjoyed the cruise. The cabin was beautiful and the boat had a ton of activities to enjoy. Best trip ever and very budget friendly.
This tour includes a 3 day cruise on a little cruise ship. There is a lot to see and do. Take the optional extra opportunities that are added costs. There was a heat wave in Europe during June/July. If extreme heat doesn't suit you, pick a different month. It's fast paced and a few hours spent in some locations, give you a reason to go back and enjoy at a slower pace. TAke time before and after the tour to prepare and to unwind and further explore.
The itinerary is very misleading. It says you cruise for 3 days and stop at 4 ports. None of it shows the time frames for the trip. We found out that we only got to see Mykonos after dark. We only got off the ship from 8pm-midnight. It was extremely disappointing. And in Santorini, we had to be back on the ship by 2 pm. We were never made aware prior to our trip that we would have such little time on each island. As for the cruise ship. We had cold showers, cold food, a lack of outlets in our cabin (there were 2, both located under the TV and nowhere near the bedside), wifi that cost to use per hour (or buy an all-inclusive package), no cell service in our cabins since they were internal, and food that was lacking in flavor. Each day we would go to eat lunch and dinner at the times that the buffet opened. The food would have just been brought out, and sat in a buffet server that should have been keeping it warm. But we were lucky if the food was barely warm. Food had very little seasoning or flavor to it, it was all extremely plain. Day to day options were limited, there wasn't much variety. If you wanted to drink soda or tea, it wasn't included and needed to be purchased (minus the 6 drink tickets that were provided, they were only able to be used during lunch or dinner). I DO NOT recommend this cruise ship at all.
Itinerary and coach and the hotels- overall ok. The cruise cabins via Miray Cruises are very run down . Please do not use Miray Cruises anymore.
Fun cruise. Good food and drinks, friendly staff, comfortable cabin, good drinks packages, fun tours of the islands and Ephesa.
