The Greek Bound Ladies - Corfu to Athens to Santorini!!
Greece

Aug 23 - Aug 31, 2025
We (Mary Beth and Christy) really enjoyed our time in Greece! We loved being able to visit 3 areas of Greece - Corfu, Athens and Santorini. The excursions that were planned for us truly gave us an opportunity to immerse ourselves in the culture of the islands and mingle with the locals.
Our favorite excursions were the cooking class in Corfu, the winery tours in Santorini, the food and culture tour in Corfu, the catamaran boat ride in Santorini and the e-bike trip in Santorini. Honestly there was NOT an excursion that we did not enjoy!!! Gustavo truly did a wonderful job of planning different excursions for each of our days in Greece so we felt as if we had a good variety.
The one suggestion we would make is to stress the importance of downloading the Aegean app before leaving the states. We were not aware that we needed to do this so it was stressful for us as we arrived to Athens ( the Athens airport was extremely busy and crowded and we were tired from our 10 hour flight from the states). We were scrambling to get the app downloaded so we could have our boarding passes ready to board our flight to Corfu.
Thanks to Gustavo for planning a wonderful trip to Greece for us!!
We look forward to returning to Greece to travel to other islands!

Hotel Reviews
Extremely friendly staff at this hotel - they were able to assist us with car services (taxi) to several of our excursion meeting points. Our room was clean with plenty of space. The one negative was the fact that it was not explained to us how to change the temperature on the AC unit so the first couple nights were very hot in our room. We suggest that the staff review the AC room unit mechanics to all guests when they check into their room.
An absolutely beautiful hotel!! The views and breakfast served to our room made our stay so very special!! We enjoyed the suite concept as it gave us more room for the 2 of us ( loved that there was 2 baths and 2 bedrooms!) The staff was extremely friendly and assisted us with taxi rides and directions for getting into Fira for shopping and dinner. We we totally recommend this hotel!
We were only at this hotel for one night. It was convenient for shopping and for walking to the Monastiraki Market. But the hotel services were nothing special. When we arrived around 11am our room was not ready and we were told that we would be contacted via email when our room was ready. We were NEVER contacted so we had to check back with the hotel several times to check when our room would be ready. The hotel does not have Whats App which was a negative.
