Greece Travel Review: Discovering Ancestral Roots, Village in Stipsi, Sparta, Oia, Cuisine & Wine, Beautiful Countryside & People

This was the best vacation we have ever taken in our 47 years of marriage and we have have some really nice vacations over the years.  Joni is second generation Greek and wanted to see the areas her grandparents were from. The travel planner of this travel company did a stellar job, requiring a lot of work on his part to locate contacts in the areas where her grandparents had resided.  She was able to see her Grandmother's village in Stipsi and the planner found someone who knew of her Grandmother and was able to give her great insights----truly a wonderful day.  The travel planner also found a distant cousin in Sparta on her Grandfather's side who gave us great insight to her Grandfather's side of the family.  We visited the ancestral foundation of the original home and saw the last home they inhabited before leaving for America.  Again another great and memorable day.
Through the planner's efforts, we experienced the hospitality of the Greek people, great cuisine including great wine, beautiful country side, and the great history of Greece.  The tour guide's and drivers were first rate and made us feel at home to the point, we would be honored and pleased to have any one of them as our guests in Florida, including our travel planner.
We can not say enough how we appreciate the great Job our planner did to make our vacation very special and memorable.  This trip was perfect as the travel planner followed up at each point of our travels and ensured every thing went as planned including having to change our Santorini accommodations from Fira to Oia as there was an electrical issue in the original accommodations---this was all done with no effect or inconvenience to us.  We loved Oia and on our next Greek trip we will plan on spending more time in Santorini.
