GREECE was a DREAM COME TRUE

Our experience in Greece was perfect, sure there were a couple hiccups here and there but for the most part we were very pleased.

Athens
* Sweet Home Boutique hotel was very small. Didn't really feel like a honeymoon stay. It was a tad bit underwhelming. We did have a nice view of the parthenon from our room so this definitely made up for the space. Also, we ran out of hot water the first night so that was a bummer. Otherwise this hotel was super cute and Aphrodite was a great hostess. Breakfast in the morning was delicious.

* Anastacios our tour guide was very pleasent! He took us through the Acropolis and was very informative. He did go off on a couple tangents and he mentioned how influencers just want to come and take pics so we felt a bit weird asking for a photo. We didn't get a chance to go to the museum. He asked if we still wanted to go but we opted not to since the Acropolis tour took so long.

*Ivis 4 Boutique Hotel - was definitely very fancy and probably the honeymoon stay we were expecting. We didn't have a nice view of the parthenon but otherwise it was very nice. It would have been nice to stay here a couple more nights.

Santorini
* Blue Dolphin was AMAZING. This definitely felt like the honeymoon stay we were hoping for. Since the moment we arrived in Santorini we were welcomed with such hospitality.

* Trail Guide Artemius, was AMAZING. He took us to Oia and took us to the Blue Domes. He asked if we wanted photos and even went as far as to take videos. All along the trail he told us about Santorini and its history. He told us about him and his family. He was such a pleasure!

* The Cruise was so much FUN. George and George were very nice!!

* Luxury Travel - i think this was the name of the driver company who took care of picking us up and dropping us off throughout our stay . Again sooo very nice and very reliable.

Geia sou Dalia!

Thank you for the time to leave a review with your feedback on your experience here in Greece with us.

I am actually shocked to read that you ran out of hot water in the Sweet Home Boutique hotel. This is the first time anyone ever had any complaints about staying in this hotel. I will definitely give them a call to find out what happened and thank you for pointing that out.

I am very pleased that your overall experience was nice and that you enjoyed your tours.
I will talk with Anastasis to see what exactly happened and you did not manage to get to the Archaeological Museum. Maybe it was due to the National strike in Greece on that day?

Anyway, thanks again for trusting us with your trip planning. I would love to assist you with your next trip to Greece and show you some more great spots of my country - this time hopefully no strikes will take place! :D

Take care and always have fun!

My very best,
Angela
