This tour was mind blowing! Our guide at the Epidaurus site was extremely knowledgeable and personable. The olive oil tour was very nice. I suspect an olive oil tour is more memorable when the harvest season is in full action.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Nancy! We're glad you enjoyed the Epidaurus site and the olive oil tour—harvest season definitely adds a special touch. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again on another journey soon.
