My recent trip to Greece with my friend, Richard, was wonderful in all aspects. Mariliza devised an itinerary of really worthwhile tours, mythological & archaeological, also cultural, food & wine. The trip plan also allowed for free time so that we could further explore areas on our own. We had a fantastic guide, Magda, for our tour of the Acropolis. For Delos, we had Pantelias who was really passionate about history, mythology and culture. In Naxos, Yiota highlighted life in medieval times there. And on Santorini, we were fortunate to have Panos for 2 tours wherein we were able to discuss local foods and wines, and of course sample both!
All of the places (Athens, Mykonos, Delos, Naxos, Santorini, Crete) we visited had their own unique/different features and I loved them all equally.
I would like to give special mention to our driver in Athens (Pascal??) who ensured our safety and got us to our destinations stress-free. And thank you to all the other drivers who willingly shared local knowledge.
Thank you again Mariliza!

Our first room happened to be in a part of the hotel that is adjacent to a nightclub that was open until 0400. Needless to say we had a sleepless night. We were changed to another room for the following night.
