Trip was one of a lifetime! Planning including transportation and guides were really good. Will mention a couple challenges later. Appreciated the planning by Angela to have our group of six mostly to ourselves. The only time we have a larger group was at Athens, Kronoss and Corinth but was only 14 folks usually. Guides all very knowledgeable and catered to any slight changes or provided options.
The individualized boutique hotels were absolutely wonderful. Only challenge from time to time were the steps to get to the enjoyable hotel rooms. Santorini biggest challenge. But oh, the reward of the Elite Rooms! The tours of Athens and Corinth were wonderful, local food suggestions from hotels or local folks were all wonderful.
The hotel in Athens was nice and quiet but was so isolated on small street our transportation vans had a hard time getting down the street. Glad we didn't have to drive.
Got to experience the Sahara sandstorm one day! Fun but for the Cretans a challenge.
Wonderful experience the final evening with the Greek Cooking class and eating the food and tasting the wine! And oh, the wine, cheese, yogurt, baklava, figs, olives - What can we say! Thanks Angelia!! Would let you plan our next trip somewhere in this world!!
