An experience i will never forget as long as i live.I want to thank Mr Stavros Koutris,an excellent tour quide for his detailed explanacions of all battles.Amazing hospitality for all participants of the group. I will suggest this tour to all my friends. Once more it exceeded my expectations much more.
Best experience and I will definitely do it again
I joined the Persian Wars special tour (Marathon, Thermopylae, Plataea and Salamis) and it was outstanding from start to finish. General Koutris was a superb guide. His command of the history, the strategy and the terrain brought each battle to life, and standing where it all happened made the ancient accounts feel immediate. The weapons demonstration and the walk through each battlefield were highlights. Our driver was extremely professional, punctual and calm, which kept a packed schedule running smoothly. The energy of the whole group was fantastic, and I learnt more in two days than I expected to in a month of reading. I will certainly return for another tour. Strongly recommended for serious history lovers.
Highly recommended for everybody.
