    · November 22nd, 2025
    This was well organised with the hotels, transfers, tours etc. however, DO NOT travel in November, the tourist season is over and 90% of Santorini and Mykonos are closed. We had 2 tours and 1 ferry cancelled due to this, they shouldn’t run the tour this time of year. The islands are beautiful. The hotel in Athens, Syros & Mykonos are good, the Santorini one have not one thing near it open that time of year and should be in Fira, the island of Crete is beautiful however the hotel is 30 minutes from the main town, with everything closed in November around the hotel, we had to hire a car to actually go anywhere that was open. I am sure May-Sept would be a better time to do this tour

    Thank-you so much for a great vacation. We had a great time. DOT was so helpful. One of our party injured before we left and they were so much help. They kept everything moving including a mobility scooter. I was really worried that he would not be able to get around but everything worked. I cannot thank you enough for all your help. He even got a thumbs up from his doctor. The hotels were great and pickups were so helpful. I cannot recommend them enough.

    I was impressed by the itinerary/voucher document that I received. It listed accommodations with addresses and telephone numbers so that folks at home could contact us. There were sections on ferry service, transfer information to and from hotels, flight tickets, and important telephone numbers and tips. There was a ferry problem that I caused but Chrysta and her people swung into action and we were back on track in 3-4 hrs. All in all, the Dot.Travel people were very helpful. We chose a self-guided tour so that we could travel at our own pace and not slow down a larger group. It was an enjoyable 15 day tour.

    We did the Best of Athens 15 days (Athens and 4 islands) self-guided tour. All of our ferries, taxi transfers, hotels (with breakfast) and flight from Crete back to Athens were included. Everything went so smoothly and easily with zero issues. The Dot travel reps were so amazing…answered all of our questions and changed a couple of hotels to suit our travel wishes. They have curated some incredible hotels and work with such professional taxi transfer companies I highly recommend this tour to those who (like me) stress about the logistics of many ferries/transfers and also if you would enjoy the freedom to do what you like with no set daily schedule. We have done a few Tourradar tours and have not had a bad experience with any of them.

    The Best of Greece (15 days) Athens & 4 Islands in 15 days (Self-Guided) with Dot Travel was simply outstanding. From start to finish, their service went above and beyond - easily one of the best travel agents I’ve ever used. They were incredibly flexible with our itinerary and even extended our trip at short notice. When all ferries were cancelled in Mykonos due to circumstances beyond their control, they handled everything with professionalism, speed, and genuine care. I can’t recommend Dot Travel highly enough!

    Book this tour !!! My friend and I had an incredible time in Greece ! All the hotels were central and nice and clean ! The tours included were great too ! Especially the acropolis tour and caldera tour In Santorini! The tour company was easy to communicate thru what’s app ! It truly was a trip of a lifetime ! Also I highly reccomend traveling in September the weather wasn’t too hot and the crowds were way less ! Flying into Athens two days early gives you more time to see pretty much all the historical sights ! All of our transfers went smoothly on the ferries and drivers were very nice ! Greece is a beautiful country with wonderful people go ahead and book this trip you won’t regret it !
