Too expensive for what it offers

Gary_H, Oct 2022
We basically got a car and driver and one night's accommodation in Olympus. The driver was excellent, and had some interesting perspectives on the places we visited. The hotel in Olympus was poor -- unpredictable internet, lukewarm water in shower, poor breakfast. None of the admissions were covered and aside from the minimal breakfast, no meals. That said, we enjoyed the visit to the museums and archeological sites at Delphi and Olympia.
