Our two week stay in Nafplio exceeded all of our expectations. Having a car made travel to near or far sites was very helpful. Christos was an incredible resource person. Our reservation in Athens worked out perfectly. The trip was so enjoyable that we are returning to Nafplio next summer for two more weeks!

Nikos helped make our trip amazing! Based on our interests, he customized some experiences for us. We took a cooking class in Naxos that felt like being welcomed by old friends. We had a day on a private catamaran that was beautiful and spotlessly clean. In Santorini, we went on a wine tour that was great fun, very informative, and in beautiful settings! Transportation services were timely and first-class! Overall, Nikos provided great, tailor-made services and activities. His attention to detail and communication is thorough. We were in good hands with Nikos! I highly recommend Greeking.me when planning your trip.

14-Day Mythology-Inspired Trip to Greece: Athens, Delphi, Peloponnese, Naxos, Crete

Eight days flashed past. We covered a lot of ground, but the travelling was 
carefully planned and broken up with site visits.
Our Greek tour guide, Eva, provided valuable information about where to eat 
and what to do in free moments. More about her later......
The hotels were comfortable and central. The driver, Manolis, was steady and 
safe and the roads are much improved.
All the sites are magical, even the Acropolis, overrun with tourists.
Our favourites from the past, Delphi and Olympia were still amazing, but one 
of the special visits was to Eva's favourite, Ancient Messene. We'd hardly 
heard of it, but it's a wonderfully excavated site with a complete stadium 
and mausoleum- you can even see the basins that the athletes washed in. And 
even better, there were only half a dozen visitors apart from us!  We can't 
decide whether to write to Mary Beard and tell her to get on out there and 
make a programme about it, or just let it remain a well-kept secret.


Eva was brilliant. We did a similar trip some years ago, where the tour 
leader was British and just dealt with group logistics. At each site we 
picked up a local guide, some of whom were better than others.
Eva combined both roles with enormous energy and enthusiasm. As a Greek 
graduate in archaeology she guided us round the sites, answering questions, 
pointing out details that we would not have been aware of, ensuring that we 
were up to scratch with the flow of Greek history. These discussions 
continued whilst we travelled.  At the same time she was always aware of 
group dynamics, wanting to make sure that all eleven of us were having a good 
time.. There was a lot of laughter and enjoyment! By the end of our trip she 
must have been exhausted!
Exodus, I hope you realise what an extraordinary resource you have in her. 
She certainly made our eight days memorable and educational (in a very good 
way!)


Take note of the accurate title of the trip - Highlights . As travellers now 
in our seventies we had visited almost all the sites over the last fifty 
years and the purpose of the holiday, for us, was as a refresher. For this, 
it was a brilliant itinerary. It would also be excellent as a taster if you 
had no experience of the sites and wanted an overview. But don't expect to 
linger!
Also, be aware that two sites, the Acropolis and Delphi, are steep with very 
uneven surfaces. Make sure your shoes are up to it.

Highlights of Ancient Greece

A perfect introduction to the best archeological sites of Ancient Greece with 
an excellent group leader and archaeologist, our charming "travel Mamma" Eva.
The amazing age, state of preservation and artistic quality of the sites and 
artefacts in the museums. All brought to life and put into context by Eva's 
clear and lively descriptions and stories.


Eva our archaeologist and group leader was the perfect guide giving us an 
excellent introduction to all the sites and their place in the story of 
Greece. She seemed to have endless enthusiasm and energy and answered all our 
questions to make sure we had a clear picture of each place and its stories.
She made sure we had suggestions for good places to try delicious local food 
in every village or town we visited.


If you are at all interested in Greek history and archeology book this trip 
now.
Make sure you have non slip footwear as smooth limestone can be very slippery 
and there are lots of steps.


We would love to do another trip covering more of Ancient Greek history 
especially with a guide as good as Eva.

A perfect introduction to the best of Mainland Greece and its Archeology with Eva our excellent guide.

Lovely trip.  Excellent guide.  Mixed hotels.
Pass


Excellent. V organised.  V well informed about the subject of the trip.  Pro 
active.  Sensitive to clients requirements.  Friendly, humorous.  Well done 
Eva.


Earplugs, particularly for Athens hotels.  Noise usually from other 
travellers.

Try and find an alternative to Lakonia Hotel, Sparta. Spartan room (ha ha), v 
hard bed, paper thin walls.

Olympic Village Hotel, I think it has a four star sign as you enter.  This is 
a poorly maintained hotel 3* max.  My room had a cracked sheet of glass 
covered by a safe deposit box.  It would have taken 5 mins to remove it and 
make the area safe. I had to unplug the fridge at night it was so noisy


Day 8. Visit to Arachova - a complete and utter waste of time.  Nothing to 
see or do. Would have preferred more time at Meteora and an additional visit 
to a second monastery.

Most travellers on this trip didn't need two full meals a day.  No need for 
lunchtime restaurants all the time, coffee shop would do for a snack.

Excellent trip covering a wonderful variety of Ancient archaeological sites in Athens and the Pelopponese.
Good hotels throughout, friendly and competent guide and driver.
This trip excelled because Elly, our archaeology guide stayed with us throughout and the depth of her knowledge was amazing. She made this trip with her explanations and dedication.

Lovely lady who worked constantly throughout and was very efficient in every way. Helpful and dependent.

The only criticism l have is that the flights at both ends of the trip made it necessary for me to book hotels at both ends in Heathrow and having to check in at 5 am does not start  a holiday well. I was too tired to enjoy our first day in Athens.

I suggest that the group flights arrive in Athens on the first day afternoon and that  the Athens tour takes place the following day when everyone has rested up. Also, the return flight to arrive back to UK earlier on final day.
