Great Tour of Thermopylae

Michelle_H, Sep 2022

Andreas was excellent. He picked us up at the hotel and drove us to Thermopylae while answering our questions along the way and telling us the history of Greece and the Spartans. We also stopped for quick caffe along the way there and on the way back, we had an excellent lunch. Great tour, highy recommend!
