Greece Exceeded Expectations
My trip to Greece exceeded my expectations. Our hotels, bus and cruise were extremely clean and cool—important when walking in 95 degrees. I recommend upgrading to VIP for the cruise. The air conditioning, service and food were wonderful! The landscapes and ancient structures really do look like the pictures, but what photos can’t capture is the feeling of standing among them. Seeing—and even touching—marble and stone structures that date back to the Bronze Age was almost surreal. It’s incredible to think that today it can take as long to build a highway or bridge as it took the ancient Greeks to build the Parthenon over 2,400 years ago. Greece has a remarkable history. I would not have appreciated the resilience of the Greeks without Explorica. A huge thank you to Explorica for putting together an outstanding experience. Our main guide, Kamilo, along with Natasha, Bianca, our wonderful Canadian travel companions, and our three exceptional local site guides didn’t just show us Greece—they helped us understand it by weaving together history, archaeology, mythology, and faith into unforgettable stories. We don’t know what we don’t know. This trip planted a seed, and now I’m already looking forward to planning my next adventure.
