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 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

Memorable parts? Walking up mt olympus Tips? You need sleeping bag liners for the refuge no linen supplied we were told otherwise and unpacked them Local benefits? Yes local guides and family run taverners used. food exceptional Overall rating? Top trip. The hotel in Athens was good but a more homely guest house would have been better. (more)Anne Lincoln

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

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

Definitely a fascinating experience. The guides gave us everything they were supposed to. (more)Anonymous

Of the ancient sites, Delphi stood out, with good signage on the site itself and just sufficient restoration to allow one to imagine its original magnificence. But with the stunning mountain scenery (and hair-raising roads) of Zagoria, the relaxed charm of Nafplio or the magical, flower strewn mountain setting of Mystras, there are so many places to choose from. (more)Jane Bennett

Memorable parts? It has to be the walk down the Vikos Gorge. The talk buy the herbalist on Lefkada was also fantastic. Tips? Expect paths to be often in poor condition, but don't rush and you'll be OK. In September expect some rain in Zagoria. It rained after 4.0pm most days. Local benefits? Tricky one. Obviously our spend was of benefit to local people, especially as we extended by 3 days. If this helps reduce environmental damage then that would be good but some continuing... (more)Max Rathmell

(more)Bob Handley

Absolutely fabulous. We had a truly wonderful guide who put real enthusiasm into her presentations, was incredibly knowledgeable about all the sites and ancient Greek history and was able to answer every question asked. (more)Mike Mooney

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

Beautiful beaches, delicious food and very friendly locals. Simon the host was very helpful and friendly, giving lots of advice and left bread and fresh produces on our arrival. (more)Joanne Gore

The Peloponnese is very beautiful, so green and relatively quiet. There were so many beaches, and even in August, they weren't crowded. Beach tavernas on quieter beaches were lovely. (more)Pippa Jones

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

Excellent because of the attention to detail and love that Nick and Jodi have put into the Cottage. (more)Major(Retd) Terry Roper MBE TD
