itinerary promised red beach and white beach and hot springs. We didn’t actually get to go to those locations we anchored near them and swam for 20 mins near them but not on them. Itinerary also states that towels are provided and are not. Hot springs are in fact NOT hot. They were not organized at end of sea portion and were not told where we needed to go for second half of excursion. The land portion was nice and the tour guide and driver were the sweetest guys.

The Sea & Land tour does not actually mention in the description that you will visit the beaches with a stop so you can stay on the beach. It mentions that you will discover the beauty of those beaches by snorkeling while swimming. The boat can not access the beach as the waters are shallow on shore. Only smaller boats can approach up to a point. I am sorry for that misunderstanding and the fact that the cruise transfer driver wasn't clear about where he would drop you off for the land portion of the tour. 🙂
I have already communicated this to the local office on the same exact day you had the tour. I am sure that they will take all the needed measures to make this tour operate more effectively. It is the first year it operates and apparently, they did not think all things through as they should have!
Your feedback is so valuable to help improve! 🙏

Abelonas Retreat

The room with the loft where we stayed was a bit deceiving. You could not even stand up straight in the loft nor the bathroom that is up there. I would not recommend this unit for 4 adults, but if traveling with younger kids it should work ok. The main bathroom with the shower is tiny. For women who shave their legs, good luck doing that in this shower. The staff is awesome, which helps to make up for some of these downsides.

This hotel advertised they have staff to assist with the luggage until 18:30, which was not true in our case. After a full day traveling, we had to carry our baggage up a steep flight of stairs just to get to the lobby level/registration. It would have been helpful to know that ahead of time. The rooms were very nice, clean and modern. And this was the first hotel that provided washcloths - which may seem like a small thing, but to those of us used to using washcloths daily, it was a huge bonus. The location was great and very convenient to many restaurants and shopping and the port.

You have to go to Hydra! It is such a quaint island. No cars!! Lots of stairs, so be prepared. Well worth it to carve out time. If the weather (including the wind) conditions do not cooperate, you will not be able to go to the beach. This was our experience, however our guide more than made up for it with stops at some of the local establishments that he was familiar with.

The “Just Wow” Trip: Balos Beach. A Lagoon For Bliss.
Greece

If you are considering this be prepared for a 30 minute hike (and I mean hike) down to the beach. There are limited beach umbrellas, so you might want to bring your own. And then you have to hike out after soaking up some sun. OR your guide can take you to the 7minute hike spot for pictures and then drive you to another beach that have food/drink/restrooms close by plus MANY umbrellas and cabanas to rent. That’s what we opted for - now keep in mind this was towards the end of our trip, so we were getting a little worn out 😊 But this was beautiful and a very relaxing experience for us. Our guide provided food and water for us, so we didn’t have to worry about that either. Highly recommend and you might consider the alternative path that we took!

Santorini was beautiful but expensive. I would suggest not buying too many souvenirs there because they cost about twice as much as the other islands. I would recommend taking a sunset kayak excursion with Sunset Black Waters Sea Kayak. We got to have lunch and snorkel on one of the beaches. We took an HS 2024 Catamaran Sunset Cruise the next night and met some wonderful people and saw a breathtaking sunset.
My favorite hotel was Creta Blue Boutique Hotel. It was an adventure getting to the hotel through all the narrow roads but it was sooooo worth it! Friendly staff and an infinity pool with great views. Walking distance to what they call a "village" with restaurants and shops galore.
Overall, it was a once in a lifetime adventure that was beyond my expectations!

But if stairs to climb up and down to room but the bell boys were happy to lug the suitcases for us.

3. FYI: Last tour in Santorini: Great tour however just to know for the future: sunset cruise was 9 hours and not 4.5 hours as advertised (we started at 1pm and came back at 10pm). More lunch cruise than dinner. Probably not the best tour the night before flying out of town (we left for the airport at 5pm the following day to travel back to the US)

Also, the fast ferries between Cyclades are the smaller ones (ones that don't take cars).
Hope is makes sense now why we chose ferries over flights. 🙂

I totally get what you mean about the hotel in Mykonos. Having specific room setting requests though, this was one of the best value for money options and that's mostly why we chose that accommodation. But I totally get what you mean 🙂

The accommodation in Santorini though was within a walking distance from Oia center about still further out to avoid the extreme traffic and huge crowds of Oia. 🙂
Maybe not that close but within a 15 - 20 minute easy walk. I do hear though that you'd prefer being closer.

Finally, again I hear the thing about the duration of the cruise. The actual cruise time is about 5 hours as described in the trip plan. Due to extremely high traffic on the island and frequent stops to pick up people the duration is actually much higher 🤷
Hope it was totally worth it though! 🙂

I hope you will come back! I will be here and more than happy to show you more of Greece! 🥰

Our trip was nine days: three days in Athens, three days in Mykonos, and three days in Santorini. We stayed in great hotels and took ferries to get to the islands. Even though we didn’t have activities planned for travel days, we had activities every day (which was a bit much). We did a walking tour to the Acropolis and the Acropolis museum, a walking/tasting tour in Mykonos, a driving tour around Mykonos, a wine tasting tour including a visit to the Atlantis museum in Santorini, a catamaran ride to Rhedia & Delos, and a catamaran ride around Santorini. On travel days, we found our own restaurants, which gave us a chance to explore the hotels’ neighborhoods and get souvenirs. We also had a couple of sunset dinners at really nice restaurants in Mykonos and Santorini. I will say, the restaurants with a view were more expensive than the other restaurants in the area. We had transfers booked to take us to the hotels and ferries. The transfer drivers and hotel managers were great and helpful. They were a wealth of information for us on this trip. The food and atmosphere were amazing everywhere we went. However, since I was out of shape from having major surgeries during the pandemic, it was physically hard for me to get around. Plus, there are some areas you can’t drive through. You may have to walk to meet the Ubers and tour groups. I made it work but start training yourself for long walks before the trip. I was able to find Ubers on the app in Athens but they’re not as readily available on the islands. It was also very busy everywhere we went because this is the most popular time of year to vacation there. It didn’t bother us because we live in cities that get a lot of tourists. Everyone was friendly and respectful of each other for the most part.

If you’re going to the Acropolis, try to go first thing in the morning or late afternoon. It got so hot, windy, and dusty, and the crowds got so much bigger after 10-11am. We also bought bottled water because you’re not supposed to drink the tap water on the islands and you'll need water because it's hot. They let us swim on the catamaran tours, but the Aegean Sea was really cold. The islands have steep streets and driveways. You may be dragging your luggage up those streets and steps. Again, start training yourself for the extra walking and hiking before your trip. The trips on the ferries were choppy. Bring your Dramamine and earplugs so you don’t get seasick. Also, we caught a flight on Aegean Airlines from Santorini back to Athens because it was quicker than taking the ferry back. We scheduled in an extra hour to get our bags and go through customs. But it didn’t take long to transfer through the airport in Athens to get to our flights back home.

The best parts of our stay was the huge terrace for enjoying the view and our hostess Maria, who was attentive to all of our needs from the start. I would definitely stay again.

Authenticity & Character
Beautiful white and cream motif throughout the property, and an amazing terrace for lounging.
Location
This was a great hotel for me, but people with mobility concerns should know in advance that this hotel is on a STEEP incline with steps to reach the rooms.
Staff
Attentive, polite and informative. We love Maria!
Cleanliness & Comfort
Everything was so clean, and the beds were very comfortable.

We also loved our guides. Eleni and her acropolis tour were delightful and each of the guides respected and appreciated my son’s Greek myth fandom. Driver/guides to Delphi and around Rhodes were SO personable and helped us get to know Greece on a more personal level, and were great companions.

We would absolutely recommend all of these guides and Kim Kim/angela to friends!

Yeia sou, Alison!

I'm truly so happy to know that you had a great time here in Greece with us!
It's awesome to know that the kids also enjoyed their time here.

I would love to see you coming back, especially when the kids are a bit older and can do/enjoy more things!

It was awesome talking to you, getting to know you, and assisting you! 🥰

Safe travels!
