Greece was a wonderful experience. Santorini was fabulous. Vasilios was an incredible guide, so knowledgeable so charming and took us to very interesting places the windmills the seaside, the caves and his knowledge of history was exemplary! Athens: parthenon, wonderfulof course; archaeological museum with our guide Effie superb. she hit all the highlights in just over an hour. Plaka was fun for shopping and grab some incredible bargains for gifts.. Zakinthos was fun bc we had friends there .The Bitzaro Hotel was goodroom was lovely but bathroom lighting was sparse and the bathroom door had to be completely closed before you could access the commode. The Athena Riviera was fabulous. It’s unfortunate that we had to get up at 3 AM and we didn’t arrive there until after 10 and we hadn’t eaten fortunately superb restaurants were 5 to 10 minutes away and we could order in. Perhaps a hotel that wasn’t a 30 minute drive from the airport would be a better choice next time or this would be fine if we had more time to enjoy it. I hear the breakfasts are superb! All in all a wonderful trip.

I’m so happy to hear the trip was such a success and that your guides, Vasilios and Effie, really helped bring that incredible history to life for you! It sounds like you found the perfect balance between the "must-see" landmarks and the fun of bargain hunting in Plaka. Thank you so much for the honest feedback on the hotels, too.
