11-Day Tour of Athens, Mykonos, Delos, Santorini & Crete

Poor and mediocre quality tour

I booked this tour expecting a guided package with 3–4⭐ accommodations, quality transportation and organized activities. Unfortunately, what we received was far below expectations. Hotels were basic, poorly located and did not match the advertised star level. Transfers were done by taxis, Uber or tourist vans — not luxury cars as advertised. No professional tour guide was ever assigned in each location, we only had drivers picking-dropping us off. Activities were minimal (just three short ones, with entrance tickets not included in Crete) and most days were simply left as “free days,” forcing us to arrange and pay for transportation, meals, and sightseeing ourselves. Overall, this was not a guided tour but more of a DIY trip at a very high cost. The service felt misleading compared to the listing description and it created stress, inconvenience and extra expenses. For us it was a total waste of money and time. We felt scammed. This operator basically arrange the accommodation in low range hotels, pay external drivers for transportation, book the ferry trips in between islands and set up 3 mediocre activities to check box some excursions. I do not recommend this operator and I encourage future travellers to double-check carefully before booking this tour.

GREECE AND ITS ANCESTORS

A fantastic walk. These were days that were recorded forever. Wonderful islands, wonderful walks on land and at sea, including the interior of the islands that are a charm. Super worth it.

Response from the operator: Olá, Muito obrigado por compartilhar sua experiência conosco! Ficamos felizes em saber que sua viagem de 11 dias com a Mazi Travel and Events foi tão especial e memorável.

Extraordinary

The boats between the islands is really impressive! Big and organized!! Thousands of people at once and so beautiful this viewing of the islands The people are friendly, Mikonos is expensive... but the other islands are in the norm. Sidewalks are non-existent in these islands, difficult to take a big walk off the footpaths and not risk the accident.

Response from the operator: Bonjour, Merci d’avoir partagé votre expérience avec Mazi Travel and Events ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié votre circuit de 11 jours et que les traversées en bateau entre les îles vous aient impressionné. C’est en effet une expérience unique d’admirer les magnifiques paysages des Cyclades et de la Crète depuis la mer. Nous sommes également heureux que vous ayez trouvé l’accueil chaleureux et que vous ayez apprécié le charme des îles. Nous comprenons que Mykonos peut être plus onéreuse que d’autres destinations en Grèce, mais nous espérons que son ambiance unique et ses paysages enchanteurs ont compensé cela. Votre remarque sur les trottoirs est tout à fait pertinente, et nous conseillons toujours à nos voyageurs de porter des chaussures confortables et d’être prudents lors des déplacements à pied dans ces îles pittoresques. Nous espérons vous revoir pour une nouvelle aventure en Grèce ! Bien cordialement, Mazi Travel and Events

It was an amazing experience...almost felt like the Thelma & Louise characters!!!

We started our trip in Heraklion ...spent 3 days and then we rented a car to explore the Crete island for 2 weeks. I felt like was reliving my road trips during the university days!!! I hopped different Greek islands way back then....but this time I concentrated on Crete.

Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for sharing your incredible experience! It sounds like your journey through Crete was truly an adventure—what a fantastic way to relive the excitement of your university road trips! Crete is such a diverse and beautiful island, perfect for exploration, and we’re glad you had the opportunity to immerse yourself in its charm. We love the Thelma & Louise reference—there’s nothing like the freedom of the open road, especially in a place as stunning as Crete! If you ever decide to hop across more Greek islands again, we’d love to help make your journey just as memorable. Wishing you many more exciting travels ahead! Best regards, Mazi Travel and Events
