Bea (our guide and hostess) was knowledgeable, gracious and a wonderful cook! She escorted us through the bustling market, then led us on a challenging drive up the mountain to her delightful home where the view of the Mediterranean was spectacular...only to be bested by the marvelous luncheon she prepared and delightful conversation we had about life in this special part of the world. We highly recommend this tour...you won't be disappointed!
