1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Fields of wildflowers, walking through light rain, swollen streams plus windy mountain sides that we all enjoyed and conquered.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Definitely be ready for challenging conditions but it may depend on the group. We averaged 3 km an hour ...up hills and down mountainsides.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, we had 2 lunches in Villages that were memorable. Dinners were huge, quality meals, servered in a local traverna.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
10+ Annie wears many hats and does an outstanding job. My 10 days were without any issues and everything ran smoothly. Annie is perfect as a guide, naturalist within this amazing woman.Leanne Nicholson review 26 Jun 2017
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The visit to Kastro was very enjoyable. The walk it was good, the town was beautiful at dusk and our dinner was very enjoyable with live local musicians.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
The ferry from Athens is quite long, even using the high speed service, and this made the journey to and from the UK seem very long. I think it would be more enjoyable to break the journey if possible.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, we felt that we were supporting small local businesses, eating local food and using public transport where possible.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent holiday. Enjoyable walking, visits to interesting locations and very good local food.Sze Mei Lim review 24 Apr 2017
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The wonderful company of the group participants - we had a good time walking together. The hikes were thoughtfully selected as they were scenic, exposed us to local culture/lifestyle and mileage covered was sufficiently challenging. Annie, our guide, took very good care of us and ensured that I had options (I had some dietary restrictions) during meals - food was very good.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
We were there during off peak season so many shops were closed but we liked that it wasn't crowded. Perhaps plan to avoid the peak season but when more shops are open.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
We went to local taverns for our meals and as it was a walking holiday, our carbon footprint was low.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
