    Naxos as a whole was a highlight, a beautiful, lesser-known island and the hotel we had there (Hotel Grotta) was the best across the trip.

    Sapfo, our guide, was one of the biggest highlights for me besides the landmarks of each place we went to.

    Guide, Peter Daskalakis was perfect. Could not have asked for more Athens was nice. Guide a Parthenon (not Peter) talked too much and had us stand in one place to listen verses letting us walk around. May have misjudged the level of interest of the group. Naxos was beautiful, all perfect Santorini - Visit to Kitron liqueur place was unnecessary. Not much too see. Wine tasting was OK. Sunset cruise was a disappointment. We were paired with a wedding group. The Explore group were all prepared to hike in the volcano and then swim in the hot spring water. Cruise did not stop at either and clearly catered to photo opportunities for the other group. Our guide was apologetic, but clearly this was out of his hands

    Naxos - the hotel was the best! And the island wasn't as busy as elsewhere. The walking tour of the town and the walk in the hills were ones to remember.

    Highlight was out tour guide Kateryna who was excellent. The group demographics worked well - ages, nationalities. Hotel in Naxos was beautiful. Good rooms, excellent staff, fab food. The absolute highlight was the group which formed a tight bond, but that is wholly down to luck.

    Hiking the Caldera trail was definitely a highlight and not something I would have done on my own. The Grotta hotel was also a highlight - best breakfast buffet ever.

    The hike from Thira to Oia on Santorini - fantastic scenery all the way. It is a longer than the trip notes state but I really enjoyed this.
