    The itinerary was very well thought out. I especially loved the cave boat tour in Zakynthos and the romantic vibe in Santorini.

    My husband and I planned a trip to Greece for our 15th anniversary with the help of Susana and it was perfect. She gave us great suggestions, incorporated everything in the trip we wanted, booked incredible hotels, organized great tours with small groups and great guides and provided prompt and easy transfers to and from all the hotels. We could not recommend Travel Zone more highly, and thanks to Susana we had a great trip!!!

    When we arrived at the airport of Athens we met Dilimar, she explained us everything about our stay and how we will get transported from one p!ace to another, she never hesitated to answer our questions and was always standby to any requests we had after our meet. We stayed one night in Athens and then we went to Zakinthos. We had a semi private tour taking us around the island as we saw all the landmarks like the blue caves and shipwreck beach where we swim in crystal clear waters. At the end of the tour we visited a small, local, traditional olive mill where we learned how the olive oil is produced. We continued our trip visiting Santorini. The hotel we stayed is called Santorini palace and it was minimal and modern with the best breakfast and it was located in FIFA and a small walking distance from the caldera of Santorini. Overall a great experience.
