Good trip to Greece planned by HolidayMe. We enjoyed a lot. Only problem was the hotel in Athens. It was not tht great. We got a non smoking room, althgouh we had requested a smoking one. Very problematic. We had to go down to the lobby every time. Even then, it was satisfactory because we managed to get a very cheap package from the company.
Acropolis can attract anyone that’s why the huge crowd and long line at the entry. The inside is worth waiting but. Magnificent ruins and amazing history attached to it. The Parthenon can be seen from here so no need to go close to it. The Temple of Hephaestus is only complete and beautiful temple but entry is not allowed.
Aaaah.. what can I say about Greece? It is just out of this world. truly once here u feell as if u r in another world. in some other time. it is all actually very modern here in Athens but in Crete and Santorini it did seem like we had stepped behind in time. we got an amazing deal on a honeymoon package from HolidayMe, and they did a fantastic job of arranging this trip. both my wife na dmyself are enjoying this trip a lot. Cant imagine having gone anywhere else . would love to return again and spend more time here.
Wow, what a place. I knew this trip with HolidayMe to Greece would be amazing, but this was just so out of this world. well planned and well timed, since this was an off season for Greece tourism so we got most of the hotels and restaurants to ourselves and the locals. We enjoyed a lot, the locals are really warm towards guests and eager to share their stories. Superb sightseeing, with taxis on time, and possible nothing could have gone wrong on this trip. amazing beauty of Greece was very much enjoyed by all of us on this trip.
I have always wanted to be in Athens since I read books about it. finally here thanks to holidayMe and their cheap package. Good hotels, good cabs for sightseeing, and a beautiful country, what else do you need from life?
Acropolis is a wonder of the world so rich in history. The Parthenon with whatever is left still looks so magnificent , it would have been fantastic in olden days. The Temple of Zeus is at the base and is as good as this. The Temple of Hephaestus is complete and architecture is wonderful. Ancient Agora is quieter and cooler.
Best way to see Athens is buying combined tickets, cheaper and no waiting time. Acropolis is huge and beautiful. Read the history and its more impressive. The Acropolis Museum has glass floor from where the ruins below can be seen and that’s a good point. The collection here in all sections is super. The Parthenon is in ruins with no roof but still grand. You cannot enter it just see from away. The Temple of Hephaestus is the best preserved ruins. Evening it looks better with all lights. National Archeological music is not well looked after as Acropolis Museum.
nice trip to Greece. Got a cheap package from HolidayMe, and landed in Athens where we stayed for 3 days. Beautiful city, so much history to share dn such good food. We are a fan of ouzo now. U cant find the real stuff at home. Enjoyed a lot, sightseeing was well planned although we did miss out on a few attractions.
Athens is a wonderful city with lots of wonders to see here. Started with the Acropolis and it is beautiful. The ruins are magnificent and there is a lot of history and glory attached to it. Buy a combined ticket as many sites are here only and the waiting line becomes short. Beware of the weather, carry lots of water bottles and hats as it gets very hot here.The Acropolis Museum is built on top of ruins, so when you enter and see the ruins from the plexiglass floor it is just amazing. The collection is huge and properly labeled.
Greece has always had a pull on me, which I can never resist. I finally got the nerve and the money together for a trip to this mystical country. holidayMe gave good discounts so here I am. Enjoying a whole lot in Athens.
