Classic Hotel by Athens Prime Hotels

It’s a bit difficult to find, but it’s very clean and the staff is very friendly.

Abelonas Retreat
Santorini

The room with the loft where we stayed was a bit deceiving. You could not even stand up straight in the loft nor the bathroom that is up there. I would not recommend this unit for 4 adults, but if traveling with younger kids it should work ok. The main bathroom with the shower is tiny. For women who shave their legs, good luck doing that in this shower. The staff is awesome, which helps to make up for some of these downsides.

Definitely off the beaten path and just outside a cute village. It is worth it though. The view is incredible and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Mirabile Luxury Suites Chania
Chania, Crete

This hotel advertised they have staff to assist with the luggage until 18:30, which was not true in our case. After a full day traveling, we had to carry our baggage up a steep flight of stairs just to get to the lobby level/registration. It would have been helpful to know that ahead of time. The rooms were very nice, clean and modern. And this was the first hotel that provided washcloths - which may seem like a small thing, but to those of us used to using washcloths daily, it was a huge bonus. The location was great and very convenient to many restaurants and shopping and the port.

A Dazzling Day Trip to Hydra Island from Athens

You have to go to Hydra! It is such a quaint island. No cars!! Lots of stairs, so be prepared. Well worth it to carve out time. If the weather (including the wind) conditions do not cooperate, you will not be able to go to the beach. This was our experience, however our guide more than made up for it with stops at some of the local establishments that he was familiar with.

The crew makes this an awesome excursion! Kayaking is fun, no doubt, but with their energy, positive attitudes and stories/ details - it was even better! Highly recommend!!

This could be an alternative excursion to the sunset kayak tour. The staff was nice and the food was good. It was great to interact with other travelers from all over the world too. Great excursion

Our guide made this what we wanted. We were able to modify our stops according to what we had already experienced. She was able to adjust our agenda on the fly. This one did not disappoint.

The “Just Wow” Trip: Balos Beach. A Lagoon For Bliss.
The “Just Wow” Trip: Balos Beach. A Lagoon For Bliss.
Greece

If you are considering this be prepared for a 30 minute hike (and I mean hike) down to the beach. There are limited beach umbrellas, so you might want to bring your own. And then you have to hike out after soaking up some sun. OR your guide can take you to the 7minute hike spot for pictures and then drive you to another beach that have food/drink/restrooms close by plus MANY umbrellas and cabanas to rent. That’s what we opted for - now keep in mind this was towards the end of our trip, so we were getting a little worn out 😊 But this was beautiful and a very relaxing experience for us. Our guide provided food and water for us, so we didn’t have to worry about that either. Highly recommend and you might consider the alternative path that we took!
