Excellent Greek Islands vacation
Greece

Jun 18 - Jul 1, 2023
Our planning team of Ina and the Travel12 care team was exceptional. Ina really worked on meeting our diverse needs for beaches, vegan and gluten free eaters, hiking and cultural outings. Pretty much a perfect fit for our family of 5. Accommodations and transport were excellent, and we consistently got compliments on (Ina’s) choices of Naxos, Paros, and Tinos for a low tourist, good outdoors options. We highly recommend these folks!
Hotel Reviews
This is a very nice modern hotel, well situated near the old town plaza and acropolis. Everything was great except that there was apparently a new night spot that was playing booking musing until 4am. We aren’t night life people so this was not great. But the hotel was very clean and breakfast was also good.
This place is wonderful. The rooms are spacious and airy. The facility is traditional but modernized. It fits nicely with the town atmosphere and there are several excellent restaurants very close by. Staff is super helpful and breakfast was good. Nice kitchenette too!
Very nice modern hotel with a balcony view of the ocean. A bit far from downtown and Nasaou is quite hilly, but this location is also quiet and has easy rental car parking.
Average airport hotel. Location is close to Rafina port for ferry, but otherwise average. This area has clearly seen some decline so there isn’t much it eh way of restaurants or shops around. There is a mediocre public beach next to the hotel.
This is a very authentic boutique hotel in Tinos, which is not very touristy and so hotel options appear to be more limited. The owners are fantastic people, super friendly and helpful. The facility itself is very traditional garden style which we found a bit claustrophobic although the quality of the interior was very nice decor if a little older styling and wear. I think that this is a nice place but not as light and airy as our other hotels on Naxos and Paros. Recommended for authentic feel and staff, but be aware this is a very close-knit experience.
Activity Reviews
Fantastic Ergon House restaurant. The food and service were excellent. We had a large variety of traditional foods to try including vegan choices. The service was very good.
Our guide Dionysus was fantastic. Interesting, friendly, enthusiastic, and accommodating. We had a great time with him and he was very efficient with the tour planning. Highly recommended!
One of the best parts of our trip was as this cooking class with Katerina. She and her mother were so friendly and accommodating and the class was really fun! She had no problem providing vegan options and the small village was beautiful!
We cancelled this day trip to have more relaxation time
Maria was a fantastic guide. We hiked the Byzantine trail and she covered both history and botanical topics which was great!
Dear, David and family!
I'm so happy you trusted me with my suggestions of visiting the islands of Naxos, Paros and Tinos. They may not be the most well-known worldwide, but they are certainly popular and special ones for us here. I'm very pleased you all enjoyed the Greek cuisine and authentic local vegan choices. Thank you so much for taking the time to share some detailed feedback regarding your hotels and experiences. This is extremely valuable to us and each comment is taken very seriously.
Wishing you many more happy family holidays! Take Care!
