      Highlight of the trip
      The entire day was one we will never forget. The staff was incredibly welcoming and made the experience what it was. The entire group could not stop raving about the views, the water, the boat and the food! We would rebook in a heartbeat. Thank you to the entire team for making the experience all that it was!

      See first hand the beauty of Mykonos
      Our guide provided wonderful insights to the the islands history and modern day culture. We saw a variety of island areas. There was much more walking required than indicated in the description

      A true gem of an experience! A for sure not to miss your!
      This was an absolute gem of an experience! We were picked up in OIA and then delivered to our winery in Southern Santorini for an exceptional tour. We initially sampled four different lines and then got a tour of their wine, production facilities, including their seller, and then the highlight of course was the cooking experience with Christy’s and team. I cannot speak highly enough about Krista and his passion for Natural, organic cooking, and the techniques and methods that he parted upon us. The food was absolutely amazing, and this was truly the highlight of our vacation.

      Amazing cooking class and wine tasting at a picturesque winery
      Amazing wine tasting and cooking class combo! We started with tasting four wines and a tour of the facilities. We then cooked Santorini-style salad, tomatokeftedes (tomato fritters), then fava (lentil puree) with capers and onion, and lastly pork cooked in a dessert wine- you get recipes to take home afterwards too. We cooked using many local ingredients from their picturesque gardens right outside the classroom. The day ended with a wonderful meal and they included a dessert they had made. Highly recommend this amazing experience!

      Must Do Tour!
      There's a lot of history here, and walking around with someone knowledgeable helps peel back the layers and put it in context. Our guide Nikos was passionate about the history and equally proud of his hometown, so we got a great picture of both the past and the present. Phenomenal way to see the town!

      Boat day trip from Izmir to Samos
      Nice island, but the economy is poor with quite some shops closed. Partly probably due end of season. Very nice (fish) restaurant at lion square ref Samos 831 right hand on the corner. Looks simple but food is excellent. Only locals.

      Worth every penny
      This class surpassed my expectations. You make a variety of dishes and the teacher is very entertaining. Kuria Maria teaches traditonal family recpipes and Parian culutre. A truely authentic Greek experience!

      Improvements Needed
      I had genuinely hoped to have an amazing experience on this tour and with this company so I could write a glowing review to counteract some of the not-so-glowing reviews this tour has received. Unfortunately, my overall experience was just average. The trip itself was grand. We successfully made the journey from Thessaloniki to the starting point for the cruise and then completed the cruise. It’s the customer service details where things fell short. At 7am on the morning of the day trip, the sweet (but lacking assertiveness) tour guide wasn’t even holding a sign that said “Mount Athos” nor did the van have a sign specifying the trip. There were at least 100 tourists at the same spot ready for day trips to various places. More effort needs to be put in so tourists know which tour guide is theirs and which vehicle is theirs. Finally, while this was entirely my fault, I left a pair of earrings on the seat of the van we took. The morning after the trip, I messaged the tour company to alert them. It took over a day for them to respond and for them to tell me that the driver of the van “did not find” my earrings while cleaning. Considering these earrings were 2.5” in length and difficult to miss, I can only assume that they were thrown away. Customers of this company deserve better.

      "Lifetime Experience"
      Unbelievable to actually experience walking in a volcanic crater,steam rising from all around the sides. Before coming on this trip,we never imagined the sheer size of the crater! Few tips,it can be precarious walking down into the crater,so tread carefully and allow yourself time,wouldn't recommend descent for people a bit unsteady on their feet. Make sure you wear "sensible"footwear,not flip flops etc.but "trainers,sport shoe or good soled shoes as the ground beneath your feet can get pretty hot,what,with the sun beating down,as wearing a hat is also recommended to protect against sunstroke! Thoroughly enjoyed the trip,although on the steep mountainous roads,my wife had her heart in her mouth as the coach navigated the snaking narrow road!

      Not a nice experience.
      Went on the Kalypso boat trip around Skiathos and over to the mainland. Boat was so full you could hardly find a place to sit down. Loud banging music played all the time and it was simply dreadful. When we got to Lalaria there were numerous other tripper boats all lined up, so the beach was packed like sardines. We didn't even bother to get off the boat. The village on the mainland was lovely. Put us off doing any more boat trips on our holiday.

      Good food and warm wine
      The experience and food was good but unfortunately the wine they served was warm. Everyone was complaining and the establishment wanted us to add ice which watered the wine. The winery that provided the wine is very good which we did a wine tasting earlier that day. They would be soooo disappointed that the wine is served warm.

      Terrible Customer Service and Lackluster Trip.
      We booked this via Tripadvisor which then went via a company called Viator. I'll start with the positives, athough our overall experience was disapointing the staff were brilliant and the food (although not a BBQ) was nice and the stops we did have were amazing. One of the draws to this perticular boat cruise was the 6 stops and as advertised 'some unique caves and dive from cliffs' we were very disapointed that we did not see any of this, we had only 4 stops to just jump and swim in the open sea which I'm not disputing were amazing but disapointing that the main draw of the trip for us was the chance to go into caves and jump from the cliffs. The food, whilst was good was inconsistent - some people had huge portions with all the seafood whilst ours was half of that and I had no seafood even in mine. We did however have an overall good day but as someone else has commented the boat is rammed so once you've taken your seat you cannot move and get shade and after a full day in blairing heat this can become exhausting. The most overal disapointing part of this was that I contacted Viator to express these concerns and the 'customer care' was quite frankly appauling. After an intial email exchange they stated that 'the weather conditions were favorable and therefore they were unable to offer any sort of compensation' I emailed them back to say if the weather conditions were davourable then why wasnt the full schedule carried out and I got a response within 1 minute of sending my email saying they had taken a second review and that they coud not be of any help. I have emailed them on three seperate occasions and they have still not responded to me. The only reason I emailed to request a partial refund is that we have been on many boat trips of under $50 per person and had the same experience. We paid $200 for 2/3's of the advertised tour.

      Fantastic experience!
      I visited here August 2004. What a great couple of hours it was. My partner and I were on holiday in Koukonaries and already had a wonderful Donkey Sanctuary on our doorstep run by a German lady. We made the decision to visit this beautiful dog rescue centre situated high up in the mountains. On arrival, the two Scottish ladies who own the rescue centre make all volunteer walkers very welcome and assess them as to what size of dogs they would be best suited for walking around the mountain path. We were lucky to have two beautiful dogs named Gary & Chesney. Gary was quite old black Labrador and Chesney looked like a cross whippet. Both were very familiar with the route and showed us the way. Chesney managed to slip his collar off half way round and ran all the way home ahead of us. We donated a large sack of dog biscuits before we left and gave a cash donation too for good measure. Anything you give is greatly appreciated. Well done to the lovely Scottish ladies who run the shelter. You deserve reward for your efforts. Steve Holman & Colin Powell

      Paros sunset horse riding
      Best afternoon sunset ride with a friendly and funny team! My husband and I set off on our horses with a lovely staff team. The horses were safe, reliable and knew what to do up and down the cliffs. We occasionally galloped and that really enhanced the experience! Thankyou to Stelios, Natalia, and the boss for the hospitable horse rides. Would definitely recommend one afternoon in Paros. The views were breathtaking taking.

    What a gem of a place to find sailing around the South Ionian islands in Greece
    Tiny little harbour not enough room to dock for the night as only enough room for about 9 yachts
    We moored out in the bay though which was stunning. Went for a drink in the Windmill taverna, beautiful views of the bay.

    Kalamos is a gorgeous small port and George - the unofficial port master - is incredibly helpful with docking the boats and he has the best Taverna in town for lunch and dinner. Well worth a visit, lovely beaches and very pretty island.

    I went with my family, we had an amazing time. Loads of things to see and do, sunshine to rest in after the water. The food and drinks were great (I particularly enjoyed the milkshake I had).

    We did another type of excursion, in the first village we stayed there, but everything else has changed... it is not consistent with the description. Then the beautiful beach presents itself: 40 min poor. Finally last village not even the shadow, just another beach for yet another swim. Then I don't know if we changed the tour because of the weather, nothing could be heard on the microphone.

    It's a great tour, but I also expected to have a bit of time in a village of Kastos. Nevertheless, it is highly recommended
