    Planning extra days in Santorini, Meteora, and Crete were the smartest things we did. The itinerary is packed and an extra low key day here and there was nice. Very professional and easy to deal with. When weather and an unexpected (to me) holiday caused a blip in our plans, they were able to reschedule around things
