      TravelerWritten January 2026

      We may be travelling with 5 people. Is there any way we could be in 2 rooms rather than 3?

    • Ciconia Exclusive JourneysOperatorWritten January 2026

      The tour starts in the morning and you typically spend around two hours at each site, depending on the location.

    • Ciconia Exclusive JourneysOperatorWritten January 2026

      Unfortunately, we are unable to arrange a triple room.

    • B

      Brittany

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      We are a family of five and would prefer to only pay for two rooms. I see per your description that in Greece many times a triple room is simply a double room with an extra cot brought in. That would be good enough for us. Can we do this?

    • Ciconia Exclusive JourneysOperatorWritten February 2026

      Unfortunately, we are unable to arrange triple room accommodation on our Ciconia Exclusive Journeys tours.
