I have wanted to go to Greece for as long as I can remember. So I decided to treat myself for my birthday this year. I've traveled to Europe before and planned everything myself, but not really knowing much about Greece and wanting the trip to be perfect, I sought out the professionals.

Nico is the person that helped me. He was so helpful and patient. I pretty much just gave him the dates we wanted to travel and my budget, and he planned EVERYTHING. I can't tell you how much less stressed I was not having to worry about transportation.With all the flights and airport transfers already scheduled, we just had to show up! And the tours he picked out were just the perfect sample of each island we went to. And just the right amount of time at each destination.

Our historic tour of Athens and the Acropolis was so interesting and awe inspiring. On Santorini island the volcano and hot springs tour was great, our wine tour even better. Getting to taste new wines from a different part of the world and learn about them was awesome. Not to mention, the tour guide was hilarious AND informative. In Reythymno, on Crete island we learned all about Greek mythology and the origins of the Minoan people. Fascinating!

He even knew that free time was the best thing for us on Mykonos. We wandered the city each day and then came back to our hotel to sit on the porch and watch the sun set each day. It was beautiful. All the hotels were very nice and conveniently located. The first hotel and the last hotel both had birthday treats for me! Working in hospitality myself, it's those little things that make events in life memorable.

One of the most noticeable things though, was the kindness of the Greek people. Everywhere we went, anyone was willing to help and very patient. That obviously goes for all the staff members who took care of us during our stay. I can't say enough about them! It felt like we were guests in their home. They are proud of their country and you can see it.

I don't usually like to travel to the same place twice, but this might be worth an encore. Thank you so much Nico!

Hello Mina,

Just wanted to write a quick email to you to let you know we had an absolutely amazing vacation! We loved every city and every hotel we went to. Our tour guide in Athens, Nikolas, was wonderful and so knowledgeable. The Acropolis was incredible. Our hotel in Mykonos (The Petassos) was our favorite out of all the hotels we stayed at. We are sure to return there in the future. We had so much fun beach hopping and experiencing the Mykonos party scene at Super Paradise Beach. Naxos was so relaxing and had the most beautiful beaches along with one of the cutest port towns to walk around.

Santorini was absolutely breathtaking. The photos just don't do it justice. You truly have to see it in person to appreciate it. Our private catamaran ride around Santorini was probably the highlight of our trip. The crew was so kind and attentive and the boat was great. We loved swimming in the hot springs and snorkeling in the crystal clear water.

Then Crete was the perfect way to end our vacation. Staying at the Blue Palace Resort and Spa was the perfect way to relax and pamper ourselves before heading home.

All of our transfers were seamless except for our ride from the Santorini port to our hotel. Our ride got a bit messed up and was therefore delayed a little while. This did not put a damper on our trip in any way. Other than that one small thing everything about our trip was fantastic.

We want to thank you and your whole team for helping us plan and put together this once in a lifetime experience. We will definitely use Travelive again for future vacations.

Sincerely,

Alexandria & Family

Hi Faye,

I just wanted to thank you very much for planning and coordinating such a wonderful trip for my family! Everything went very smoothly, all of the transfers were on time and everyone was so nice. The service at each of the places we stayed was exceptional. Effie, our tour guide in Athens, shared so much information with us, and was just great. She also recommended Strofi for dinner, and we had a view of the Parthenon from our table!

We loved Casa Vitae, and visited several beaches while there; Elefonisi was absolutely the best beach I have ever been to. The location of the hotel made it very easy to walk to a nice restaurant, and the girls were able to have some time on their own as well. We rented a car for 2 days, and took the bus to a local beach another. One thing we learned was that the buses won't stop at the bus stop unless you flag them down! :-)

In Santorini, we ended up renting a car for 2 days also, because we thought it would be easier to get around. We went to Oia to watch the sunset, and ate at Katina Taverna, where you can select a fish and they will cook it for you. We did that the first night before the car, so had to climb down over 200 steps, but it was an adventure, and well worth it! We also visited Perissa beach and Red beach, and enjoyed both.

In Mykonos, we rented ATV's for 2 days, because the girls had their heart set on trying that, and at the Rocabella in Santorini, the woman we spoke thought it would be safer to wait and rent them in Mykonos. We went to Paradise Beach one day, and the girls went to a concert there that night. We arranged for a taxi to drop them off and pick them up, since we didn't have phones, and felt most comfortable knowing they had transportation all set. We also went to Elea beach which was very nice, and found a great restaurant right in the middle of a neighborhood in Mykonos called Marco Polo.

Everywhere we went the food was just great, we all felt like we ate our way through Greece, thank goodness for the hills and stairs to help us work some of it off!

Faye, thank you again, this was the trip of a lifetime, and I am so pleased to have chosen you to help us plan it. There were so many different transfers and details that you had to coordinate and you did it all exceptionally well.

Linda
