    Our accommodations were all nice. I enjoyed our hotel to downtown Athens better but no complaints on either hotel in Athens. Our hotel in Crete was outstanding and right on the sea. All of our drivers were professional and kind. I highly recommend DOT travel and TourRadar.

    Great experience. Team was always available to answer my questions or concerns. Enjoyed my stay in Crete and last minute I asked them to extend my day at the Hotel and change air tickets. All was done within 2 hours and they paid to secure booking before collecting payment from me. Will be back next year but Dot Travel will be top of my list. Thank you Team,your wonderful support made my tour memorable. Lots of Love Mark
