Peloponnese holidays
Tours & holidays in 2020 & 2021

Memorable parts? We saw stunning scenery and beautiful old villages at our own pace. I felt that we avoided tourist traps entirely, and saw the real life of this lovely region. The hotel in the Mani was unique and full of character, but totally modern. We were able to be adventurous and wander through incredible sites, yet our guide made sure that we felt very comfortable and secure. We ate great food in gorgeous, but relaxed settings right on the water's edge. Tips? If you appreciate... (more)Karen Anderson

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 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.

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

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...

Our holiday 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? 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? 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

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...

Yes, we went to several small locations... (more)Suzanne Webb-Rees

The whole holiday was fantastic. This was mainly due to the brilliant organisation and flexibility of Angela and Nikos (more)Diana Farrell

This was hands down, the best money and time I have ever spent for myself. I arrived feeling burnt-out, edgy, negative and run down. I left feeling whole, happy, at peace and more myself than I have in years. (more)Liz Meadows

Each day brought different delights - from visiting the local market, to exploring the waterfalls at Polylimnia, from eating at restaurants on the edge of the sea, to swimming in a heavenly bay at Voidekelia (more)Jacky Long

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

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

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

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

Koroni is a lovely town to stay in, the most memorable part is the wonderful cottage we stayed in with the beautiful gardens, it was very relaxing. (more)Richard Welpton

The location is just perfect, small but well appointed cottage with a beautiful garden situated within Koroni Castle walls with views over the seaside town. (more)Howard Lawes

Memorable parts? We liked the location - all the many colourful flowers and olive trees in the garden and noise of the cicadas. We enjoyed lying in bed and looking at the stars and fireflies. We explored in the mountains and coastal areas, especially walking round Agios Nikolaus. We liked the hospitality and free desserts we got from the local taverns. It was a quiet area and easy to relax on the nearby beach. Diane was very helpful in passing on her local knowledge, welcoming and looking... (more)Linda Pike
