1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
There were many memorable events; easing ourselves into crystal clear, fresh water, freezing rock pools! The 2 excellent meals prepared for us by Tania at her home...everything home produced; breads, cheese, cured ham, wine, hare casserole etc. The kayak trip and the visit to the monasteries where we met a wonderfully enthusiastic nun and the enthusiasm and helpfulness of our hosts : Ben and Emma. They could not have done more for us....a lovely couple.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Make sure your footwear is quick drying...we often got our shoes wet!!!
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Definitely benefited local people. We visited homes of local wine growers and brought from them and ate at a private home and shopped locally and used a local boatman. At the Villa we collected fresh drinking water from a source in the garden and were made aware of keeping water consumption low. Also there was no air-conditioning at the villa, although we did have fans in the bedrooms.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
We really loved it. We were off the beaten track, away from the coastal resorts and Ben and Emma made us very welcome and the trips were varied, interesting and fun. We also were very fortunate to share our accommodation with some extremely nice people.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The trip to Kayak on lake Skada was the best day of the holiday for me. Beautiful surroundings and the trip to the island to meet the nuns was the icing on the cake.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
It can be tailored to different levels of fitness so don't worry about thinking you will be the least fit person going on the holiday.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Vists to local families were a great part of the holiday giving us the opportunity to see how they live and grow their own produce and also helps to raise awareness of keeping food miles down.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Had a really good time.
