We had a wonderful time. The highlights for me were the Food tasting tour in Athens, watching the sunrise over the Acropolis, hiring a boat & captain to visit the secluded beaches of Ios (my favorite activity & favorite location by far the whole trip). We would return to Ios in a heartbeat! Next time we’d skip Santorini & stay on the smaller islands but I’m grateful to have seen it. Our agent was available and ready to help throughout the whole trip and having her took the stress out of planning & organizing.

Close to everything but also felt private & tucked away. Amazing sunset views.

Amazing location. Pool was heated but it was very hot out & staff turned heating off at our request which made the pool water very refreshing. Breakfast was delicious and varied a bit each day. Lots of room amenities.

It was quite a drive just to see sunset but it was a neat experience. We learned a lot from our guide about Greek life during the drive.

Staff were rude. So many rules and restrictions. Don’t go here, don’t sit there, don’t get the boat wet (?), seriously? It’s a boat!!! One staff said go ahead & jump on water, next staff said absolutely no jumping in, use the one ladder for all the ppl. Very short time spent at swimming places. Hot springs (?) were just rocks in the ocean. Not warm at all, just regular ocean. Meant to be a small group of 20 ppl max but there were 28 ppl. Shortage of towels & snorkeling gear. Lunch was dry & overcooked. I would suggest chartering private instead of joining a group.

We booked to ride at sunset, if we hadn’t confirmed it would be a sunset ride on the day I believe we would’ve finished before sunset. Ensure you are adament about sunset if that’s what you want. Our ride & guides were awesome!!!!
