    The tour director who met me at the Titania hotel was very organized and professional, Thanassis Bourliaskos. My taxi driver was waiting for me at the airport and took me directly to my hotel, the Titania. Beautiful hotel with good buffet breakfast. I would have liked to stop at more tourist sites in Greece. I booked the excursion for Sounion and Temple of Poseiden. Took longer than 1 hour to arrive on the bus. Okay. Visited the Acropolis museum and the Acropolis. So awesome!! Meteora was beautiful inside the monasteries but no pictures inside. Picturesque views outside the monasteries. We visited 2 monasteries. There was a 3 day cruise to Mykonos, Kusadasi with an Ephesus excursion. Mykonos is a beautiful island walking along the shore with lots of shopping. Ephesus is one of the largest archeological sites. Patmos excursion was amazing to visit the cave where St John wrote Revelation in the Bible and also included was St John's monastery. Cruise also included Crete and Santorini. I wish I would have rode the donkeys up and down the mountain. I paid to visit the village which is very crowded with narrow pathways. I had a great time and met some very interesting people. The waiters on the cruise, Celestyl were very kind and courteous. Excellent service!! I would highly recommend this 8 day tour and cruise on the Aegean sea.

    I wish the tour was more responsive to people with limited mobility. The driver did not drop people close to facilities and catered for those without limitations. Otherwise it was pleasant enough. Tour Radar didn’t pass on accommodation details or offer choice.
