I booked this with the... - I booked this with the main interest of seeing Mt Athos. The side trips Stagira and Arnaia held very little interest at first. But they were wonderful! Very interesting visits to both places. Our guide Dimitra was excellent. Full of information, let the group move at its own, relaxed pace and was a joy to hang out with. I will definitely recommend this tour to everybody!

A trip that never happened!! - I didn't manage to go on this trip.i received an email prior to this trip that gave me coordinates from where I would be picked up but nobody came.it was difficult to get through,left messages which wS responded an hour later.the operator was very apologetic and agreed to refund the trip.i would suggest that they give a phone no to communicate easily for any such mistakes and also for the operator to ensure that such misleading emails are not sent to clients.
