Athanasia (Greece) – August, 2025 – Verified booking

The trip was fantastic, the organisers were perfect, the timeline was met according to the plan. Our tour guide Stephan was the best tour guide have ever had, great knowledge of the places history. He was very pleasant and explained everything with a great touch of fun. The driver was the best. The day I toured with them, peles castle was closed, but that is something that I knew when I booked the trip. It would be a pity not to do it, surely worth it
