Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

We found our trip planner to be very thoughtful, and responsive from the beginning to the end. As she lives in Athens, she was able to guide us excellently on our thoughts about visiting Greece and made several suggestions to accommodate and modify our requests so we could experience the “ real “ Greece. We managed to combine visiting historic sights and museums with time spent outdoors. She arranged our outings at optimum time to avoid crowds. She suggested we visit Andros island, which turned out to be among the best travel experiences we have had to date. She arranged for us to tour wine region in Nemea, and I would recommend this for anyone wishing to get a taste of very very good Greek wines. Our tour guides were prompt, well informed and so was our driver.
In addition, she also gave us several local tips for our free time.
We came away with a relaxing experience and a lot of good memories.

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

We spent 2 days on Andros island. We had an excellent local guide. He took us to visit the locals; a cafe owner, a citrus farmer, a local chef, who cooked us a very special meal in her home restaurant, a local monastery, a local farmer and bee keeper, and to the local tavern where we spent time with musicians on the island who get together there to play impromptu music! We hiked in the mountains and valley, to waterfalls and watched the sunset spectacularly. Our accommodation in a local was very comfortable , and their breakfast was scrumptious. The town of Chora is so quaint and walkable, and we got time to explore it on our own .
We seldom feel we will return to a place on our travels, since there is so much more we are yet to see , but Andros is an exception. We plan to go back ; it was truly a very special experience

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

Perhaps ask for better accommodation in Athens. Staying close to the Acropolis, space is tight, and had we known that we would have opted for an upgrade just there, to be more comfortable.
