1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Every day was memorable for different reasons, but the people made the whole trip special. Our guide and driver Dimitris was wonderful - super-organised, thoughtful and extremely knowledgeable about the area, the country and its history. Added to that were the warm welcome from everyone at the hotel in Tripoli, and fascinating tours from the family at the winery and the guide at the caves. If I had to pick some highlights: - the tours of Mycenae, Epidaurus, Olympia and Delphi - the visit to the winery which is organic, traditional and family-run - the museum in Tegea, new and really well set out - Lousios gorge with its wild flowers, the monastery visit, plus the picnic by the river2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Read up a little before going. Book the expert guides for the archaeological sites, they are wonderful plus they’re the only people authorised to give guided tours. Tripoli is not a tourist destination, despite its importance and historical role, but it's worth exploring to see the squares, gardens, monuments and churches. There are several good restaurants too. If you can, add time in Athens to visit the National Archaeology museum, many of the finds from sites you visit during the week are there. Be prepared for crowds at important sites, the acropolis in Athens in particular was really busy, even at 8:00 a.m., it rather spoiled the atmosphere.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Think it benefited local people, staying in small hotels, eating at many local restaurants and touring the winery. The winery is fully organic and always has been, definitely worth supporting as organic producers are rare, in Greece as elsewhere. The environmental impact is debatable since we travelled by car.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
A terrific and very full week, particularly fascinating for anyone interested in Greece, its history and heritage.Eimear McGill review 15 Apr 2023
