    Good trip exploring the main sights in mainland Greece. The hotels were good but the one in Athens on the return trip back from Meteora I wouldn't rate it a 4 star at all. Defintely not worth the stay at all. Loved and enjoy Santorini at the end of the trip, nice way to relax

    Patrick

    Asked on September 23rd, 2022

    On the booking form, the extra section there is the hotel and port transfer to and from. Please confirm if I need to pay for this as extra as I read on the transport section the transfer is included so not sure if I need to select this as extra or not. Its a bit confusing.
