Peloponnese vacations
Tours & vacations in 2019 & 2020

The most memorable moment was exploring Poros on foot: great views in the almost uninhabited western part, and climbing up to the top of Poros town and seeing where the locals lived. Also, Hotel Saronis on Agistri was wonderful, especially the breakfasts. The restaurant in front of it was great too. Both very friendly. (more)Debbie Williams

This was a great vacation...Great guides for the overall trip especially Mike and also the river rafting and kayaking. (more)Mark FitzGerald

It was lovely and authentic, not mobbed with foreign tourists, we felt we got to meet local people in their setting. Fabulous part of Greece with so much to see and do. Tripoli is not a tourist destination, which was nice in some ways but we stayed there a little long, the hotel could do with a pool, could be nice to also have a couple of nights elsewhere.

The entire route was memorable between places, orchards, wildflowers Coastal regions. History, architecture, the people and food and wine. (more)Sanjiv Dewan

Hard to pick out high points of this vacation because there were no low points. Even the brief and brutal thunderstorms on two occasions did not dampen the spirits (and only dampened cycling kit for a short while). The theatre at Epidavros was spectacular and the experience of staying in Napflio was memorable. (more)Lucy Watson

Every day presented something new and memorable. The archaeological aspects, notably at Epidaurus, Mycenae, and Argos, lived up to the epic tales that surround them. (more)Greg Liebman

The Laconia coastal bike tour was such a fantastic way to really see the country and feel like you've lived a bit of it... the scent of hot olives and orange blossom greeting us as we meandered through little back roads and dirt tracks we would never have thought of taking if we'd been finding our own route... (more)Amber Rosenthal

Would highly recommend, this was our eleventh biking trip around Europe, we go same time each year, the first week in May, the group (seven mates) have rated this in the top three. (more)martin mitchell

I really enjoyed it....Seeing the turtle hatchlings make their way to the sea. (more)Anja Tremper

The most memorable part of the vacation was rescuing some hatchling turtles, which had been confused by the lights of the adjacent campsite...Two hours after the "turtle emergency" was declared, all but a handful of the escapees had successfully flapped their way to the water (more)Louise Shaw

Fantastic!...Exploring the Byzantine capital of the Pelopponese, Mystras, en route between Tolo and Gytheio. Beautifully painted churches, crumbling ruins, a Frankish fortress with magnificent views and a convent tortoise! (more)Taissa Csaky

Our vacation was wonderful.... We have travelled extensively all over the world and driving in many different countries. This agency was the best that we have ever worked with (more)Sarah Turner

Memorable parts? Everything! Crete is so diverse with so much history. We really just saw a little bit. Our visit to Spinalonga was memorable. Although busy with parties of tourists it is a very special place with a special history. Tips? There is so much to do and see in Crete. Impossible to do in one visit. Concentrate on just a few things or one particular region. Local benefits? I hope so. We booked everything through a local Cretan agency. Used a local car hire company,... (more)Maureen Rae

This was a five star experience for me. I don't often take group tours, even with small groups, but from day one I had no regrets and everyday just kept getting better. (more)Russell Parkin

I have just got back and I had the most wonderful time on vacation - Fiona and her friends and family were great hosts, made me feel very welcome. They also took me around to see wonderful sites in and around Kalamata..... (more)Katy Poynter

Being part of and immersed in the Greek lifestyle through being with Fiona, her team and their families. The course was taught in a relaxed fashion, was fun and we came away with a new approach to cooking. (more)Jean Doorley

Memorable parts? It's hard to pick just one thing. The rides were great, the selection of archaeological sights was exceptionally well done! My favorite bike ride was going down the mountain from Delphi, my boyfriend's was a couple of days later. Our guides were knowledgeable and fun and always made sure we had fun and customized the trip to suit our interests, frequently without us even having to ask. ("We noticed you liked swimming, so we tried to find beaches near our other rides.") Tips? Be... (more)Carol Carveth

Memorable parts? Upon my arrival at Lavender Lodge, I was absolutely gobsmacked by the unparalleled natural beauty of the place. It is surrounded by lush greenery, stunning mountain ranges, and amazing sea views. Driving around the local area was a revelation. I am Caribbean by origin and I tell you the local scenery was more like something you would expect to see in Jamaica rather than anywhere in Europe! I later learned that the area had many of the same plants that are native to the... (more)Ruqayah Dennis

It was an all good self drive adventure which we enjoyed. (more)Barry Marshall

The most memorable moment was walking to the southern most point of mainland Greece and the wonderful spring flowers everywhere. (more)Penny Mcveigh

Memorable parts? It was absolutely fantastic to be able to visit so many places from the sea, going into small harbours and tying up among local fishing boats. Most visitors explore the Peloponnese by bus which involves long periods of travel, but we were never moored more than 30 minutes away from anything. The itinerary was well paced with a good mix of site visits, travel along the amazingly scenic coastline, and interesting talks about Greece, its history, customs and anything we wanted... (more)Hilary Richards

Excellent...Getting to Mycenae early enough to go straight to the top of the sight and having five minutes absorbing the atmosphere on our own. (more)Nicholas Rigby-Jones

The mountains around Nizwa in Oman and the night spent on the dhow off the coast near Muscat was the most memorable. (more)Vicki Neech

In terms of weather, this was the most unusual week I have ever spent in Greece during the summer. There was heavy rain almost every day, with a red alert for dangerous thunderstorms for most of the time. Nevertheless, the route passed through areas of outstanding beauty and interesting Byzantine historical sites. (more)Ray Dixon

The actual cycling was most memorable, and the beach time. It was the purpose of the trip and well recalled! (more)Wayne Goodman

Meeting an old woman and her goat on a back road outside Petalidi. Couldn't understand a word she said except for "kafe" but with body language I understood she was inviting us for a coffee after our ride. A great example of being able to get closer to the people in a country visited. (more)Martha Nitzberg
