Our trip would have been overall EXCELLENT if not for a few glitches in the coordination of transfers - specifically from our hotel in Santorini to the ferry port and from Piraeus to our hotel near the airport. The driver in Santorini did not coordinate prior to pick-up time and then had difficulties linking up with us as scheduled. The driver in Piraeus coordinated the day before on our ferry trip but then during the actual ferry trip was confused about our arrival as he had not been advised of the name change of our ferry. Hotels were nice and very conveniently located. Maria conducted an excellent tour of the Acropolis and the "food walk" through the Monastiraki district. Lia and Fotini kept us well informed of all changes to our itinerary.Show more
