were in Greece last autumn with my wife
took in Vilar-tours, a tour in the footsteps of A. Makedonsky, a 4+ star hotel, on the recommendation of the local manager George, then he was almost killed by a bitch, the "room" was a bed-place with a pissed push, spots on the walls and a view of devastation, we had to make a scandal, and only after a call to Moscow they changed us for a little better, and not only we got into this, reviews have already appeared on the net!
Impressions from Greece itself are ambiguous, I liked Meteora, Delphi and all... Loutraki is a small industrial smelly town, which is more suitable for the name Cloaca : )
Athens - nothing interesting, a dusty, filthy city, by the way, all of Greece is littered, apparently they have this national sport - whoever litters more, I have not seen anything like this!
The whole Acropolis is hung with scaffolding, which will soon become part of the UNESCO world heritage,

As for the national cuisine, I never managed to get to know it, throughout the excursions we were fed in lured places with fast food at unrealistic prices even for Greece, for dinner (free of charge) they served chicken with watery puree and chopped tomato-cucumbers on mint aluminum tray (remembered the soviet public catering), the indignation of vacationers knew no bounds! In general, the tour, the guide is normal, the food, service and tour operator are complete shit, most vacationers, I think, will never go there again.
If there is a choice - Italy or Spain is better, Greece can be safely shoved at the end, only for historical reference. Yes . . regarding the operator, do not contact Vilar, it is better to take directly from the official tour operator Mouzenidis, they all arrange visas and tours.
