Greece Vacation Review: Luxury Tour, Exploring Crete, Local Cuisine, Snorkeling, Cliff-Side Views, Greek Ruins

Irene at the travel company in Athens provided an amazingly smooth, completely trouble-free vacation.  Every driver who picked us up was on time or early (we like early!) and came with clean, mostly Mercedes, cars.   The hotel accommodations were certainly on a level my husband and I have not experienced before……penthouses with vast decks overlooking Venetian Harbors, & cliff-side villas overlooking Santorini’s caldera.  Several of the accommodations included jacuzzis (much appreciated for sore backs).   Irene arranged for guides who were archeologists, some of whom had actually participated in excavations at the Greek ruins we were visiting.  
On arrival, Irene provided us with a phone to reach her (or any other person or business in Greece).  She contacted us several times over our 17 day vacation just to check in and once to ask whether we were still interested in a winery tour.    We used the map function during transfers and located restaurants using the phone.   We Googled places we were going and places we had been.   The phone was a genius stroke.

Please give Irene and the travel company six stars out of five.
