Colorado couple travels to Greece for 30th wedding anniversary.

Greece | May 2 - May 14, 2023

Great location to explore Athens on foot. Welcoming staff, clean rooms, perfect for our arrival in Greece. Would stay there again!

Great location. Views on upper floors are best. Staff was very friendly, helpful with finding parking which could be a problem (especially if you return to your hotel later in the evening from a drive). Hotel was a bit older, but very clean and very comfortable. Easy walking distance to ruins. Would stay here again.

Loved this hotel!!!!! Beautiful views, modern, clean, nice lobby and breakfast area. Loved the rustic stone. Location was easy walking distance to town, restaurants, and start of hikes. Parking can be problematic but staff helped us locate parking when we were out of options.

Wow! When we arrived, there was no one else booked at the hotel so we got upgraded to the Chalet. We had direct contact with the staff who were SO friendly, giving us tips on where to go explore, must-see's, where to eat, etc. They fed us such a plentiful breakfast that we asked them to wrap some of it up for us to snack later. This turned out to be a good decision as we were so early in the season that restaurants had closed early in town and this gave us food to eat that night. The chalet was such a welcome luxury at this point in our trip! We had our own parking spot too! We LOVED the Zagori Suites!

The Arcadion Hotel Room provided amazing views, easy walking to everything in town (restaurants, shops, historic monuments, and to fortresses). Bring a map or GPS to find your way around town as it is easy to get lost. The staff was very professional, helpful when assistance was requested, and watched our luggage dutifully for us on our last day and upon arrival (before check in was permitted). The internet signal was spotty but served our purposes.

We stayed at Avra Hotel Rafina on our last night before departing Athens. It was conveniently located (short drive back to airport), provided a free shuttle (drivers were quite helpful with luggage), and a nice view of the water/harbor. There were some authentic restaurants nearby for a late dinner, and was a safe place to go for a walk, even though we arrived quite late.

We had to change our route due to weather that day but the guide came ready with a driver to start us at a different point, away from the dark clouds. We ended up hiking down to the olive groves and learned much about the area while doing so. We loved our guide from Trekking Hellas!

Such a great tour and SO much food! We just couldn't eat it all.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and able to relate the history of greek mythology to today's world. She did not accompany us to the top but did let us know what we would find and prepared us for this. She was late arriving to meet us and seemed rushed to take us through our tour. Nonetheless, we appreciated her insight into what we were seeing.

Wow! This is an amazing destination that leaves me speechless! A Must-See in Greece for sure!

We had an experienced moutaineering guide who took us on a guided hike, shared his knowledge with us, and made the experience special.

The river was running at Class 1-2 rating, so it was an easy rafting experience. It was definitely a beautiful way to experience the gorge and the Voidomatis River without too much exertion. We had been hiking quite a bit, so this was a nice change of pace. Our guide and driver were fantastic and took plenty of pictures along the way for us.

We requested this activity be less food oriented, and more history oriented. They accommodated our interests and it turned out to be a great tour!
