  What a great trip! Well organized and laid out, both a history lesson with lots of interesting stories and a lot of laughs. Thanos the guide leader was hands down the best guide I have ever experienced on a tour. I would follow him anywhereShow more

  Fabulous trip --- walks, accommodations, guide, food, views, fellow travellers were all top notch. Thanos, our guide was just amazing. His knowledge of the islands, as well as the history of ancient and modern Greece, was incredible. The day to day pace of the tour was spot on -- a good balance of structured and unstructured time to explore each destination.Show more

  Loved the walks, I would have liked more options such as beach time or cultural activities in the free time

  A really enjoyable week, The walks are easy/intermediate. Food was good. Hotels were satisfactory & the people were great company. What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? The Parthenon.  Its on the a world heritage site for a reason.  What did you think of your group leader? Fantastic! Very knowledgeable, very friendly and approachable.  Do you have any advice for potential travellers? Bring walking/trekking gear, bring sun cream & hat. All hotels have basic facilities but they all have wifi.Show more

  A wonderful way to explore 3 very different islands. Our guide Thanos was extremely knowledgeable and brought the history of each island alive for us and his enthusiasm was infectious. Definitely a leisurely trip with a ferry ride every other day (look out for dolphins) and time to explore the towns and laze on a few beaches - very welcome after our walk in the heat on Paros. Great food and lots of it- Thanos was very helpful with recommendations for local dishes/drinks. What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? exploring the beautiful islands and seeing the pace of life on Paros and Naxos, lovely atmosphere and places to return to.  The scenery on Santorini is spectacular, hence it is very popular with tourists - fine if you can stay away from the visitors from the cruise ships, the walk was amazing (it was the second time I had done this) and we stayed longer in Ia and it emptied out in the later afternoon.  What did you think of your group leader? Excellent, thorough and a very high standard of service - both from himself and those around us in each of the restaurants.  Do you have any advice for potential travellers? it was easy to add extra nights at the start/end of the trip and well worth it to see Athens - Jason Inn was very central and exploring from there was easy with the main sights all within walking distance - very pleasant as the centre of Athens is mostly pedestrianised. Is there anything else you would like to add? a great group made this a wonderful tripShow more

  A thoroughly enjoyable trip with plenty to see and a variety of experiences. As a walker the trip needs to have one more good walk but if you accept that the holiday is only graded as easy then you will not be disappointed. The walk along the Santorini coast was excellent as was the walk on Naxos. Be prepared for an expensive week as food prices in Greece are rather high. What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? The two main walks on Santorini and Naxos. Paros is a very quaint town with lovely narrow streets and a beautiful cathedral. What did you think of your group leader? Excellent. Thanos changeed the itinery to make sure the weather and ferry strikes did not impose on our week.Show more

  Awesome, a wonderful expierence captured in my memory to last for a lifetime. The wildflowers, the scent of citrus, lovely catus and just the overall panoramic views of the islands. I felt inspiredd and energized after walking the most scenic places on earth. What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? The group leader was dynamic, very experience . He used his judgement in keeping us safe and at the same time ensuring that we enjoyed our vacation. Lovely guy and personality. He also has a wealth of knowledge of the islands. What did you think of your group leader? My advice is to follow the trip notes and walk with all of the items listed. I will also suggest wearing long pants for the mountain walks as some places the bushes are overgrown. Do you have any advice for potential travellers? A very satisfied customer and will difinetly do crete in the near future.Show more
