We passed by three beautiful cities and we spend some time on each of them. No rush and everything was on time.
To Mystras we enjoyed the wonderful view. We learned a lot about ancient Sparta which was known for its unusual political system which was completely focused on military training and excellence in the battle - field.
All these little details that you can't even imagine. The transfer was on time, the food good as well, and our guide so sweet and kind. We are totally satisfied from this tour!
