Greece

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

The trip to Greece was one of the most UNIQUE and enjoyable travel experiences I have ever had. The island-hopping process is much better than a cruise. It provided more time to get an essence of the islands we visited. The staff at the travel agency know their country and took care of incidentals I usually have to micromanage or wouldn't even have known about. They also recommended excursions I might not have thought of. Their staff was professional and friendly and checked in with us regularly to ensure all was running smoothly. September was a great time to travel. Slightly cooler weather and only one rainy day.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

The restaurants and sidewalk cafes in Athens and on every island. Everything was so clean and pretty. The people were nice and the food and wine, incredible....and reasonably priced and we never felt rushed. Athens, Fira, and Chania were by far my favorites. Athens and its history, a must. Fira/Santorini, incredible and breathtakingly beautiful. Chania is quaint and pretty. I loved wandering the streets and alleyways everywhere we went.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

NOT travel to 4 islands. For the amount of time we spent waiting for ferries and being transported to and from Ports and dragging luggage, I would cut that back to 2 or 3 islands or stay in Greece longer. AND I knew better but took too many shoes and clothes...packing lighter is a MUST. I also should have asked for more hotel options when planning the trip. The hotels we stayed at were all very nice, but I would have selected a beach location in Paros in Naoussa and possibly a hotel IN Mykonos Old Town. We were close in Mykonos but a hotel in the heart of Old Town would have been better. Trade time in the Islands for time to explore the Peloponnesian peninsula some.
