Review: Birthday Trip to Greece, Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, Catamaran Cruise

Best Vacation Ever!!!

Our travel agent presented us with a final itinerary that resulted in the best vacation ever!

My husband and I went to Athens, Mykonos and Santorini.  All in that order.  Best order.  Athens was quite a bit of walking and site seeing of ancient rumors.  We stayed at the Athens Gate Hotel where our travel agency surprised us with a nice bottle of champagne.  Best location!  Best Rooftop views during breakfast and cocktail hour as the sun was setting and the lights turned on to highlight the Acropolis and Temple of Zeus.  It was also in the middle of everything, including the nice walk around Plaka.  Then we were off to Mykonos via airlines (quick 30 min flight).  We stayed in a beautiful resort which had the view of the pool area overlooking the sea where all the amazing yachts sat.  Our travel agency scheduled a catamaran excursion that sailed the beautiful waters that surrounded Mykonos as well as swim in it.  Funny, we met a fellow travel agency employee. She was the sweetest.  That excursion was so fun!  A great excursion with only 8 people onboard.  Next, Santorini. Wow.  We took a ferry from Mykonos to Santorini. That was the only thing that stressed me a just a little, only a little.  But, it was fine because our travel agency put us in the premium section which made it more pleasant.  The only thing about those ferries was our luggage.  You just drop it in a section hoping to find it once we reached Santorini. It was crazy wall to wall people trying to find their luggage.  It's ok...we got out luggage and off to our hotel.  OMG!  What a surprise!!!  We initially booked a suite with our own swimming pool.  The hotel upgraded us to their grand suite! My gosh.  This suite was huge.  It included a indoor hot tub, our outdoor pool and our own veranda. Beeeeaaauuutiful!  Views on Santorini, our suite, was amazing. So surreal.  The excursion was great.  A catamaran trip of 10 people sailing and swimming around the island of Santorini.  Complete relaxation on Santorini which made it an amazon finale to our Greece trip.

Additional touches our travel agent made sure to cover was transport between airport to hotel and vice versa, transport from hotel to ferry and vice versa and transport to/from our excursions. 

Overall, our travel agency made this vacation the smoothest and best vacation ever.  Our travel planner took care of all the details and we felt we were treated very special by each of the hosts (hotel and excursions).  It was great that we received a package with tips.  It helped us prepare better for our trip.

I would highly recommend this company.  I'm definitely going back to them when we decide on Italy.

Thank you!  Best Vacation Ever!!!!  All cause of your perfect planning :)
