Thoughts on Group Leader
I can't praise her highly enough . Often there are separate specialists for each place but Stephania knew eveything about everywhere. She was a walking encyclopaedia. Not only that, she had a lovely manner , was friendly , approachable and arranged a group meal every night if we wanted it . This was perfect for me because as a single traveller i was slightly worried about being left on my own.
Advice for Potential Travellers
you have to have an interest in the subect matter . I had studied prehistory and archaeology at university and had originally booked this trip in April 2020 so it was something I had longed to do.
Suggestions
The last day involved a very long drive and a long wait at the airport. I quite understand when you have a long journey you have to err on the side of caution and get to the airport in good time but maybe you could consider organising the trip in reverse so that the group is already in Athens on departure day. YOU MUST UPDATE THE TRIP NOTES ABOUT LONG SKIRTS NEEDED AT THE MONASTERIES, LONG TROUSERS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.
