The Greek Wanderer was an awesome trip around four separate islands (Syros, Paros,Naxos & Santorini) -each different & interesting. Loved it all. The transfer on ferries between islands is quite a process with lining up, crowd jostling, hauling suitcases, managed exceptionally well by our experienced guide Charlotte. Greek food is awesome with fresh salads, local herbs and warm freshly baked breads. The hi light for me were the hikes. Some were a ramble, others were more challenging but each was sensational. Stone walled laneways, mountain vistas, donkeys, horses, wild herbs of thyme, dill, rosemary perfuming the air. Poles & good walking boots made it comfortable & safe. Our wonderful guide Charlotte, ensured everyone was catered for. With varying levels of fitness & desire to get hot & sweaty, Charlotte always offered alternate activities. You could remain at the hotel enjoying the pool, stroll around local sites or do partial walks & catch a local bus back to accommodation. The accommodation was basic but adequate. With mostly private family run businesses they offered a more personal touch. Some hotels lacked lifts (stairs only), so best keep your luggage as lightweight as possible. Our sensational guide Charlotte ensured all ran like clockwork. Buses, ferries, taxis, museums, restaurants were all organised & details communicated to each member of the group via WhatsApp. I would recommend this trip.

Our tour director Sakis was absolutely amazing!! He took great care of all of us and provided excellent recommendations. He even spent his night off with us when we wanted to do a dinner show. Our entire group was very disappoined in our rooms at El Greco in Santorini. We had all paid for an upgraded room, which our travel agent said would have a water view and NONE of us had that. That seemed like money wasted, bc the additional fees did not get us the room category we paid for.

It was a wonderful two weeks made exceptional by our tour manager George giannapopulus. He made sure everyone was happy and kept us busy and entertained. He showed us how to use the metro, gave suggestions for lunch and dinner and walked us to the restaurants. He had so much pride for his country and made us all feel comfortable. We had many included meals and excursions. The boat day in Naxos was a highlight of our trip. Learning how to Greek dance at that magical place in Crete was fantastic. My only negative was lugging our luggage on and off the two ferries. George aided as much as he could and lifted many heavy bags. Also, some of the accommodations were not centrally located and could have been a better quality. The resort in Naxos was lovely outdoors, but the rooms were too small and not ready for the season.

This trip was amazing! We got to see so much and discover places in Greece that I never would’ve known to explore. Getting to spend time in mountains and by the sea was such a great mix.

For Greece, we loved the sunset cruise and the tour of the active volcano. We also loved our room in Mykonos. We enjoyed having coffee and reading a book on our balcony. Santorini was beautiful. Athens was full of history.

The Athens hotel was a great location to walk to some of sites , I hugged an 800 year old olive tree. We visited the Acropolis on the first day , I enjoyed the walk up there thru olive groves and flowers. The hotels on Mykonos and Santorini were awesome, like your own spa room. I took many pictures of blue domes and white buildings. There was no wasted time
