Central Greek Aegean Sea Tour Reviews — 1 to 9 of 9

You probably don’t want to post this review. The bicycle routes and the guides were excellent. The guides gave excellent reviews and orientations. Unfortunately, the most memorable part will be the problem on first afternoon aboard the Boreas boat where the electrical plug-in, next to where were sitting, (from the shore power) sparked and started to smoke and smell like an electrical fire. We alerted the crew and they unplugged. The other Greek port authorities would not let us plug-in with the corrupt system, so we did not have air conditioning unless the excruciatingly loud generator was on. The loud shrill noise tortured several cabins so it was shut off to sleep. We did not have AC at night and people were hot and slept on the benches on the deck and above deck. The shower in our below deck cabin leaked so much that we were forced to take super short showers just so we wouldn’t flood our bathroom with gray gritty water leaching through the walls. Another boat in their fleet had an accident and our lead guide had to work with that problem, but he did an excellent job of taking care of us. My three star rating breakdown as such: The bike ride was a five star and the boat was a one star.

The beautiful places we visited. Tip: in spring and summer do not carry too many clothes or suitcases

I loved the trip!

The Tripsite agency was impeccable with information and quick responses!

Most Memorable Part? Bicycling to the monastery on Patmos

Best Part? Getting to know new awesome people on the trip!

An amazing experience with great friends

Loved the various opportunities to swim in the sea, off the boat and at the beach. It was interesting to learn the unique history of each island we visited.

The rides were the most memorable, very enjoyable and scenic. However there were a few issues. Disappointed with the bikes, for example the rubber on the pedals were so worn that my shoes constantly slipped on the exposed metal of the pedals. One of the guides switched his pedals with my bike, the guides seemed aware of the problem and it was obvious this issue had been raised before. Our toilet was leaking when we first arrived on the boat and we had quite a bit of water on the floor of the bathroom. Also the generator of the boat was switched off at night making the rooms uncomfortably hot. I don't understand why shore power wasn't utilized.

Breathtaking views on hilltops on all the Greek islands. The narrow streets of Patmos and Lesos islands were fun and charming. The guides were knowledgeable and agendas fit the the groups ability. Thank you!
