Everything about this trip was absolutely AMAZING!! I don't know how Eleni coordinated all of this to make it a reality, but we had so much fun and felt so taken care of, and it was the most incredible week! The drivers were absolutely wonderful - George and Anthony went above and beyond on our trips to Delphi/Mycenae/Nafplio/Epidaurus and Cape Sounio/Temple of Poisedon respectively. George especially made our experience one we will carry with us forever! And the guides - the guides were amazing! Efie and Stephanie and Theodorus brought every site to life and the kids (and us adults) were mesmerized by the blending of mythology and history happening right before our eyes. And to top it all off, the hotel was fantastic - perfect location for wandering in the evenings, safe, clean, comfortable, spacious with a welcoming and accomodating staff who made us feel so relaxed and at ease. This was truly the trip of a lifetime - Thank You to everyone who made it a reality!!! And I can't leave without mentioning the cats - we LOVED the cats!

Fantastic location - perfect for experiencing the Acropolis, Agora, across from Parliament and easy walking to so many sites and lovely restaurants and shopping. The staff were so welcoming and accomodating, the rooms were clean and comfortable and spacious. And breakfast in the morning was a nice perk!

This whole day was amazing! Delphi is gorgeous, Efi was so knowledgeable and wonderful with our kids and their love for mythology, and lunch at Mer Des Oliviers was as delicious as it was beautiful! And to top it off, our driver George was so sweet and helpful and made it a wonderful day!

Everything about this day was magical - the sites, the guide (Theodorus) was the perfect blend of fun and informative and gave us plenty of time to explore on our own as well as with him. And George, again, was fantastic. Even though it must have been an exhausting day for him, he was so enthusiastic about the area and went out of his way to show us the most beautiful views and experiences!
