What people are saying about Megalochori

We were picked up from nearest reachable point to our hotel in the caldera and dropped back later on time Nice transit vehicles with Mercedes’ mini vans Good knowledgeable guides all thru Climb to the volcano top was a bit difficult but can be done with occasional stops for breath I saw even seniors doing the climb slowly, just wear proper hiking or walking shoes Saw some folks returning after some time due to improper footwear, lot of gravel. There was no time for lunch, so pack something that u can eat on your return boat trip from the volcano Akrotiri was good along with9D volcano show at the lost Atlantis

It was truly an amazing. I have never experienced such thing in my life. We loved everything about the cruise, from the staff to the food and to the experience of meeting new people. The winery experience was also amazing we got to learn more about the Greek culture and try some delicious wine. The end of the trip was everything, the sunset was wonderful. We will definitely have this trip in our memories forever. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND IT
