Most Inspirational Moment
The Fira to Oia walk on Santorini was spectacular and we had great weather for our 5km easy walk....the scenery just kept getting more spectacular as you got closer to Oia. Picture postcard stuff.We were kindly invited by locals jamming in Lefkes to a traditional music festival in Paros, in the town of Naoussa, and it was fun just people-watching. The dancing by young and old was a lot of fun to see. I'm glad I went as it was just so Greek!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Cecile was a very friendly and helpful guide and gave a good insight into being an expat in Greece. I thought she guided the walks well with the different speed levels. Good communication at times did not always work well as I think our group was a straggly bunch but Cecile did her best to keep us all informed of the group's plans. She booked us a fabulous guide at the Akrotiri archaeological site, very informative and well worth the trip. Exodus should really include it not as an option but as an inclusion: our entire group went to see it.
Advice for Potential Travellers
September was a great time to visit Santorini, Paros and Naxos: warm but not unbearable and tourist numbers are much lower. There is a music festival held at the Naxos castle in August and September so I recommend taking in a show. The organiser was a real character and you get to try several homemade alcoholic beverages as part of your ticket price.
Reply from Exodus
We would like to thank Lizette for her review. Unfortunately a schedule change to the ferry timetable was only announced only a few days before this trip began, so we had to alter the start point of the tour to Rafina. We tried to contact everyone affected by this, but we appreciate that finding this out just before the trip started must have been disappointing and we are really sorry for the inconvenience caused. Since this review was posted we have stopped using catamarans on this trip and we are now only using ferries for the crossing Lizette mentions.
