Smelling the orange blossoms as we rode from Astros to Nafplio was memorable. It was very fragrant, and we smelled them pretty much every day for the remainder of the trip. (more)Tiffany Arthur

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 holiday 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

The wildflowers during our trip in April were incredible and profuse in nature. Stunning to look at as we cycled along. Each town we stayed in overnight was a delight to explore with tasty seafood to dine on in the evening. (more)Barbara Myers

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

The most memorable part of the trip was Athens (more)Andrew Wigmore

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

The most memorable was visiting ancient sites which we'd planned to do for many years. (more)Margaret Carey

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

There were so many excellent memories, but overall it was the chance to explore so many aspects of Northern Greece, from the coast to the mountains to the lakes, with a hugely knowledgable and enthusiastic guide. (more)Emma Sparkes

The boat ride on lake Kerkini was particularly exciting as we got close-up views of birds in their nesting environment. As avid birders, we were pleased with the varied species observed, and with our guide. (more)Angelo Angelis

The boat trip on Lake Kerkini was wonderful and provided great views of the thousands of birds there. Also a number of unexpected moments as our guide found unusual birds like Spur Winged Lapwing, Stone Curlew and Penduline Tits. A memorable few days - didn't want to come home. (more)Richard Aubery

Memorable parts? The generosity and kindness of the local Cretan people - particularly in the smaller villages/towns. The scenery was beautiful. It changed as we moved from one area to another. There were some great views to be had everyday and you are never too far from some wonderful history. It brought to life the history I had studied as an 11 year old many years ago. Tips? In the bigger towns always seek out the restaurants in the smaller alleys - ask the locals where's good... (more)Sue McNuff

We enjoyed everything about the trip. Staying in the refuges on Mount Olympus was great and watching the most perfect sunrise and sunset. (more)Deb Child

Memorable parts? We enjoyed a custom trip around Crete. Elpida at the office was terrific help in planning our trip. Our guide Dimitris was superb - engaging, knowledgeable, at all times thoughtful and kind - he did everything to make our trip one of the best ever. The most memorable time for us was seeing the Northwest and Northeast sections of Crete - gorgeous - although we loved hiking the Imbros Gorge, exploring Chania and Heraklion, and being in the mountain villages. Learning to love... (more)Christine Singer

Memorable parts? In the 3 days of my stay, Bill took me to a wonderful variety of archaeological sites and his knowledge, easy manner and organisation enhanced all of these trips. My most memorable part was the trip to Epidauros and Mycenae, which superlatives cannot describe. Tips? Lavender lodge is extremely well-appointed, very comfortable and has superb panoramic views, but don't forget this is Greece and if you want English breakfast tea, as I do, you should bring it with you... (more)derek poulson

Memorable parts? Every experience we had on this magical holiday was fun and memorable. The most adventurous activity was hiking into a gorge and then entering a stream where we walked through the water into a cavernous area with stalactites and a surprise at the end! Tips? Be prepared to have a variety of fun and interesting experiences where you will learn new information and skills which may in fact change your life. Local benefits? Yes, we went to several small locations... (more)Suzanne Webb-Rees

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

Amazing. Would recommend to a similarly active cycling friend. (more)Heather Buckley

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

Memorable parts? In some ways this was a perfect holiday in that it combined cultural tourism, activity and lazing on a beautiful beach. Visiting Delphi and then the monasteries in Meteora was incredible. However, with the children, the chance to spend a few days in and out of the water on the Adriatic coast was incredible. Tips? This is quite an easy holiday in some ways. The transport is all arranged and you get the most personal service from David (our guide). He only takes... (more)Geoff Braterman
