"The trip to Greece with Olive Odysseys was exactly what I hoped it would be.
Our local guide of The Acropolis and The Parthenon was absolutely amazing.
We had relaxing time on three beautiful islands. Our trip was just the right blend
of cultural and historic sites and information as well as delicious food,
exercise and relaxation.
I would recommend it highly!!"
