Greece Wanders and Wonders

Jun 26 - Jul 3, 2022
Our trip to Greece was following 3 weeks in Spain. I didn't know where to start and Amalia not only tailored our trip to our liking but also became a friend I will remember! All the details were planned, drivers, guides, hotels... Our driver who picked us up from the airport was the beginning of an excellent understanding of Athens and its growth. He began our tour by pointing out parts of the city and telling us about Athens which began our journey. We wanted an "off the beaten path" experience in Greece hoping to sail the islands a different year. We wanted to see Meteora and experience Greece coast and country. Working with Amalia proved to be perfect! We left our large luggage at our Athens hotel and headed to Thessaloniki and from there drove to Meteora; breathtaking and wonderous in the history and inspired building of the Byzantine monasteries. We witnessed the historic sites on the coast, farm country, sunflower fields, olive orchards and mountains. Returning to Athens we had a private tour with Anda through the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum. Anda's expertise and ability to relate history and her passion for archeology is unparalleled. I would rate her a 10 out of five stars. And then our last day in Athens we met Antonia who walked us through the market, while on our private food tour. We heard history and regional pride in the different "flavors" of Greece from olives to feta to meat and drink. Beyond my expectations!
Activity Reviews
Amalia arranged a private tour with Anda of the Acropolis. Anda made history and archeology personal. She was an amazing guide and an amazing representative of her country.
Athens is busy! This food walking tour with Antonia was perfect as she pointed out the regional influences on Greek food, the spices, the deserts and traditional fair.
We enjoyed the calmer nature of Thessaloniki. We did the hop on hop off bus. I wish we had gone to the beach and outside of Thessaloniki to get a better flavor of local living. We were actually tired from our travels so enjoyed the wait staff and open air dining at our hotel and along the park area.
Dear Deborah,
Thank you soo much for these wonderful words.
I feel truly lucky that I got the chance to meet you and Charles in person! I had so much fun and I really hope that I will see you again in the near future!
Working with you was a true pleasure and I'm looking forward to organize together your next trip to Greece, focusing this time on our amazing islands.
Stay well and live a life full of travel 🥰
My warmest regards,
Amalia
