Guides were great and very knowledgeable. Penelope was my favorite(Acroplis and food tasting tour) followed by Yannis who drive us to Delphi. The views were incredible. Definitely a trip of a lifetime.

Hotel Reviews
Athens Cypria Hotel
Athens

Hotel was very clean but had extremely small elevators. And the rooftop bar next door played extremely loud techno music until after 1am, so I had to sleep with ear plugs. Breakfast buffet was incredible. Hotel staff was very accommodating.

Great views and loved the pools. Breakfast buffet was also very good. Close to the beach and short walking distance from town. Friendly staff.

Very clean and wonderful staff. Did not like the fact that there were over 60 stairs to get to the rooms. Luckily there was a bellhop that carried our luggage up and down for us. Excellent view off the patio of the coastline and sunset.

This was my least favorite activity. Host was very gracious but we made stuffed vegetables as the main meal. Thought we would be making an authentic Greek dish. Although we did make homemade tzatziki sauce which was excellent. We did get a tour of the farm, but it was way up on a hillside so we didn’t get to stroll through the town as the description stated.

My favorite activity by far. Had a private catamaran for just the 3 of us. George & Dmitrios were great. Got to swim in a few spots in the Aegean sea. Food was excellent as well and the sunset was incredible.

The transport driver from the hotel seemed to be in a hurry. Was driving fast and honked his horn often.

I liked Iliana a lot. She was very knowledgeable. I especially liked the symposium we had while drinking wine. The sunset at the Temple of Apollo was incredible.
