Wanted to know what side of driving it is? Website mentioned manual car driving. What is the other option if you don't want to drive? Is there hop on hop off bus service to see everything that is suggested to be seen by driving?

European countries drive on the right-hand side of the road. Yes it is manual but can be upgraded to automatic gear. In case you don't want to drive, you can stay in Heraklion and do not change the city. We will subtract 120USD from the price. There is public transportation in Crete.

My client enjoys the outdoors, walking, kayaking. However, she has bad knees and can't handle uneven ground, cobblestones, uphill, and staircases very well. Given the nature of Greece's terrain, can she manage going on this tour? Or do you have any accessible tours?

What accomodation options are available during the tour?

The tour generally includes stays at various hotels, which are well-equipped to ensure a comfortable stay. For extended stays in Create, additional accommodation can be arranged for a fee.

Can we substitute a diff island between Athens and Santorini (i.e. not go to Myknos)? Can we add an extra night in Chiani?

Yes you can substitute any night. You can also shorten or make it longer by adding nights. e.g. adding one more night in Chania. If you let me know your plan and your travel dates I can quote it.

Are the ferry rides between the Greek islands long?

Ferry durations can vary, with high-speed options available for shorter travel times. Regular ferries can take half a day or longer, depending on the distance and conditions.

The islands were absolutely gorgeous and the hotels were nice too. There's so much rich history in GREECE, beautiful landscapes and very nice people.

I’ve always enjoyed small group tours and the islands have a unique, relaxed atmosphere that I really love. The hotels were comfortable and met all our needs. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the experience even more enjoyable. Everything ran smoothly with no timing problems. Mykonos stood out as my favorite; it had a great balance of energy and peaceful spots to unwind. This tour is ideal for anyone looking to relax while still experiencing plenty of exciting activities!Show more

I really liked how this tour had a bit of everything history, beaches, and enough free time to just relax. Mykonos had such a cool vibe with its little shops and great food. One evening, a few of us from the group ended up at this small café by the water, just chatting and watching the sunset. The small group made it easy to feel comfortable and connected. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone!Show more

  I took a more detailed look and it appears that everything is up to us to see on Mykonos, Santorini and Crete. You provide Ferry service and transportation to and from hotel. There are no sight seeing scheduled for these three locations. Only Athens for one day. Let me know if I have it right.
