Greek Islands Road Trip Reviews
- Athens - Mykonos - Santorini - Crete
Athens and the Greek Islands Tour is fascinating. The trip ran as exactly as described except for a late transfer in Mykonos. It was our first trip with Eskapas but won't be the last one for sure. The islands were absolutely gorgeous and the hotels were nice too. We had a rental car for Crete and driving is a nice experience through Cretan villages and incredible beaches. There's so much rich history in GREECE , beautiful landscapes and very nice people. I and my wife loved it!!!! and you will absolutely love it!!
- Discovering Crete, Self-drive
It would have been excellent if not for a major problem with the car rental. You advertise the tour good for 18 to 99 years but in fine print you have to be 69 or younger? I was not advised until days before I was too old to tent(71). In the end I found a car on my own and was refunded the car portion but needless hassle and frustration sorting it out. Otherwise trip great!
- Greece Island Hopping: Cyclades, Crete & City of Gods
It was my first solo trip and it couldnt have gone better. I was a little scared at the beginning, but journaway provided me with excellent support and advice throughout. Everything worked out wonderfully and I was verry happy with the hotels.
