Greece should be on everyone's bucket list

Jan 12 - Jan 31, 2023
We had wonderful guides and experiences on the Greek mainland, Santorini, and Crete. It was wonderful to not have to drive or worry about transportation and each of our guides was knowledgeable about their areas and took us to places we would have never found on our own. Highlights for us were Crete and Meteora. Had some marvelous food and wine all over Greece. Babbis(mainland) Lazurus (Santorini), and Yiannis (Crete) were all just fantastic guides and hosts. We loved everything we saw, but do wish we had a little more downtime at the end of our trip. That was our fault, not the guides. Our first hotel in Athens, The Foundry and Hotel Azade were especially standouts with amazing views and comfortable spaces.
Hotel Reviews
Absolutely marvelous. Unique space with a wonderful rooftop garden.
Hotel was off the beaten track and quite a walk to the town for meals etc, especially when it was dark as there was no sidewalk and the road was pretty windy. Not a good combo for pedestrians. We were lucky to have a guide willing to come get us. Since it was off-season, there was no transportation, no restaurant service, and no laundry services provided. It would have been good to know these things prior to checking in. The room was adorable and the fireplace was fun to have.
We stayed at Hotel Azade - not this hotel and it was by far our favorite of the trip. https://azade-chania.com/
Activity Reviews
Went to 2 lovely wineries - both very different. The wines were fun to taste and the history of each was interesting.
Corinth was really interesting as was the waterway.
We had been to the Acropolis before, but not with a guide. It was wonderful to have his insight. Be ready for quite a climb and if you cannot do stairs, be sure to bring proof of disabiltiy
Beautiful drive from Athens. The sunset views are spectacular.
What a spectacular site.
This is a bucket list item for sure. You just can't believe these monasteries were build in this way
We actually ended up taking 2 tours to the mountains. They were both glorious, We ate in small family restaurants, learned a lot of history and about life in some of the more remote areas in Crete.
