After an initial miscommunication on the Athens hotel the trip was great. Elen did a great job planning the itinerary and the outings. All the guides were excellent - great insights and knowledge but also articulate and personal. The food and wine tastings were very enjoyable. Naxos stands out as our favorite destination but Athens and Santorini were also great experiences. We absolutely loved the people, the food, the wine and the history!

Fantastic views, lovely people and great location. The only issue could be the stairs - there are a lot of stairs to walk steeply up each time you leave the hotel. It's the price to pay for magnificent views of the caldera.
