Our guide Alexander was a wealth of knowledge. We appreciated his energy and passion about his culture /country. Our drive from various points went by quickly as Alexander shared "fun facts" tying in Greek mythology. Thank you from your Canadian friends for a great day.
Dear Simone! Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m very happy you enjoyed the day, the stories, and learning more about Greek history and mythology. It was a pleasure sharing my culture with you! Hope to see you again in the future for more exciting adventures! Warm regards, Alexander Papageorgiou
