Luxury Greece Vacation Review: Crete, Santorini, Naxos, Athens, Hiking, Catamaran Cruise, Archaeological Sites, 12-Day Tour
We had a very enjoyable trip to Greece - Crete, Santorini, Naxos and Athens! The places that we visited were diverse and very interesting - 1) Crete: hiking the Imbros gorge, visits to special restaurants (slow-cooking, small village) and Knossos Minoan site; 2) Santorini: Catamaran cruise and tour around the picturesque island; 3) villages in the diverse and beautiful Naxos - ceramic pottery studio, village in the mountain, lovely beaches, kouri statues for the classical era; and 4) Athens - the unique Acropolis and other archaeological sites (Ancient Agora, Temple of Zeus....), Delphi and walking around the Plaka and other areas. Our guides were knowledgeable and very nice. Our travel planner worked with us to put together a special trip with great suggestions.  We had interesting tours and great food in the restaurants on our tour. There was a misunderstanding in what our highest priority was  - that is the Acropolis and other archaeological sites (which should have been given more time and focus, since we were on a private tour). There was also some minor misunderstandings between our travel agency and the contract guides as to the contents of specific tour.

Review: Anniversary Vacation in Greece, Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, Crete, Delos, Knossos Palace, Acropolis Tour, Catamaran Cruise

We booked a 2 week vacation to Greece with this agent and travel company for the end of May.   Our travel agent helped us plan the perfect vacation for our 25th wedding anniversary. It was the most incredible trip, more than we could ever have imagined! She planned accommodations, excursions and tours at each place we visited that highlighted each place.  We started our trip in Athens for 3 nights, Crete 3 nights, Mykonos 3 nights and Santorini for 4 nights.

We were met promptly at the Athens airport by our driver taken to our Hotel in Athens where we were met by our agent personally to give us all of our tickets and instructions for our stay in Greece. As well she gave us a cell phone programmed with her number and the travel agency in case we had any issues during our time in Greece.

We stayed at the foot of the Acropolis in Athens at a wonderful boutique hotel. Our trip started with a private tour(highly recommend)  of the Archeological museum of Athens ,the Acropolis and the area surrounding. Truly specials and unforgettable! A romantic dinner at a beautiful restaurant in the center of Athens.  Watching the sun set on the Acropolis with all of Athens at our feet...stunning. A free day to explore a bit of the ancient and beautiful city then onto Crete.

We were met by a delightful young man, who was our guide for all 3 days on this amazing island. Wine tours, Palace of King Mynos at Knossos, ancient cities Rhethmynon and Chania, beautiful beaches and stunning views. We fell in love with Crete.

Then Mykonos. A beautiful little jewel of an island with beautiful beaches and ancient cities once attacked by pirates. A romantic dinner, tour of the island of Delos (incredible!) and getting lost in the maze of streets that make up Mykonos town.

Then onto Santorini. A jewel in the beauty of the Aegean Sea. Stunning hotel on the cliffs with a view that you never tired of, wine tours, a full day Catamaran sail to beaches and the Caldera ending with a magnificent sunset at Land's End. Santorini was the cherry on top of the trip. Truly a stunning island.

And everywhere we went the friendly, hospitable and welcoming Greek people.  We can't say enough on how well orchestrated this trip was. We had flawless connections, over-the-top accommodations, incredible guides, amazing excursions that did not disappoint at any of our island visits.  "More than we could have ever imagined" is how we describe this trip to friends and family.  We highly recommend this company and the travel agent who planned a trip exactly to fit us personally.

Thank you Zicasso for your stellar travel agents and fantastic job of Jackie who paired us up with such great agents to choose from.

Luxury Vacation Review: Greece, Crete, Naxos Villages & Winery, Mykonos, Santorini, Athens, History
I consider myself a traveler but had never been to Greece before and wanted to ‘do it right’. I had a three week timeframe to spend in the islands.  Of course Mykonos and Santorini were on my list and I looked to this travel team for additional recommendations.  They suggested Crete and Naxos.  It was a wonderful and interesting mix.  From our Acropolis tour in Athens, authentic Naxos tour of villages and winery, every detail was meticulously tended to and this travel team checked in with me multiple times throughout my journey.  All transfers and guides were timely, knowledgeable and very nice people. Several of the guides felt like friends by the time we concluded.  The travel planner of this team was responsive to my inquiries and did a very good job of delivering the best Greece had to offer!

Review: Luxury Greece Vacation, Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, Naxos, Crete, Delos, Delphi, Temple Poseidon, Sunset Dinner Cruise

The service provided by this Greece travel company was first class.  Our agent provided us with a hassle free trip.

I had originally contacted this agency with a rather vague idea of what I wanted to do - something along the lines of three weeks, four or five islands, four star hotels.  Our agent put together a superb itinerary with three nights on Mykonos, Naxos, Santorini and Crete bookended with three and two nights in Athens.

The hotels he chose were all great although totally different from each other (New in Athens, Harmony in Mykonos, Porto in Naxos, Ira in Santorini and Lato in Crete.)

He prebooked trips in Athens (City Tour, Temple of Poseidon and Delphi), Delos whilst in Mykonos and a sunset cruise in Santorini. All were good choices

The local agents were not up to his standard, especially on Crete where we did not even see the agent (it was explained that the agent they used had offices 2 hours from Heraklion where we were staying).  Having said that we were met at airports and ferry terminals promptly on all the islands

I was particularly impressed that our agent phoned me twice during the trip to see how things were going.

I would recommend this company to anybody considering a trip to Greece.

Travel Review: Luxury Greece Tour, Athens, Nafplion, Epidaurus, Mycenae, Delphi, Meteora, Mykonos, Santorini, Hiking, 2-Week Trip
My husband and I visited Greece for the first time in late September.  We spent a couple of days in Athens, then drove to Nafplion, touring Mycenae and Epidaurus on the way. Renting a car allowed us quite a bit of flexibility and the roads were in great shape with little traffic once we got out of Athens. We drove on to Delphi and Meteora then flew out of Athens to Mykonos. Our vacation ended in Santorini and we flew back with beautiful memories of Greece and her friendly, warm hearted people.The travel company did an awesome job organizing our trip and our trip planner was available throughout, just a phone call away.  The hotels were picked with care and the rooms were just what we hoped for. The transfers to and from each hotel and port made travel worry-free.  The tours were very worthwhile and the guides were well chosen— the ones at the historic sites were mostly archaeologists or historians— and were well spoken, knowledgeable, interesting, and engaging. We are so glad that our trip planner contacted us right away and had so many great suggestions and ideas for our itinerary. He truly made the whole experience everything we hoped for!
