Greece: sea, lettuce, gods

The services of Selena-tour were used for the first time and did not regret it. I can't talk about the company as a whole, I'll tell you about the people and conditions that I saw myself. Bus tour Romania-Bulgaria-Greece. We rested in June-July 2013 for almost 2 weeks. Initially, there was a fear that the bus tour would be tiring. But this tour is built in such a way that we did not feel tired from the bus crossing.

From Kyiv to Romania we arrived the next day and spent 1.5 unforgettable days in Transylvania. A wonderful guide Marin, the beautiful Peles Palace, the mysterious Bran Castle (aka Dracula's Castle), the Saxon town of Brasov, and the unforgettable mountain landscapes of Transylvania. Romania has become a very pleasant discovery and a great start to a further holiday.

This was followed by an overnight stay in Sofia, and the next day - the pearl of the tour - Greece.

I won’t tell you for a long time, you need to see it with your own eyes: warm, clean, gentle and not very sea, beaches to choose from: from medium-sized pebbles in bays to the cleanest 3-kilometer sandy beach. Mountains - Olympus (what else to say) - legends, myths, nature and, most interestingly, the purest mountain water that you can drink from a tap.

Everyone chooses a hotel for themselves. We stayed in Diaz - a small family hotel 30 seconds walk from the sea. Quiet home rest is not in this hotel. It's fun, live music, competitions in the evenings. But it is located in the center of the village of Platamonas, near the church, a small port, where boats come with freshly caught fish, which is cooked right there in local taverns, not far from a supermarket and streets with souvenir, shoe and other shops.

Meals: ascetic Swedish breakfast, dinner - menu (no choice), but very tasty, real Greek food and service.

Selena tour offers to take all your time with excursions :), but my husband and I chose 3: Meteora, Athens and Olympus. I advise you to see all this and be sure to visit the island of Skiathos (unfortunately, we didn’t get there, but those who went were delighted).

7 days in Greece flew not like one, but like half a day. And now it's time to go back.

After spending the night in Bulgaria - a tour of Sofia. Perhaps it was the most dim impressions of the whole trip. The city is beautiful, but our Odessa is not worse, and maybe better, not to mention Kyiv.

And now about the people: a huge, just a huge thank you to our guide Movchan Yulia. Such a bright, positive, cheerful, groovy little man is worth looking for. Throughout the trip, she told us about the history of the countries where we were. We watched films and programs about the countries we were going to and the places we visited. The selection of transit hotels is excellent.

All issues with accommodation, meals, sanitary stops along the way were resolved by Yulia in such a way that our entire journey was very comfortable. Even when she was actually with us as an ordinary sightseer, she always made sure that we did not get lost, that the local guides told us as much and as interesting as possible. It was thanks to Yulia that our entire journey flew by unnoticed, without delays at the borders, without overlaps with hotels or excursions.

And, of course, the fact that we liked the bus tour is an important merit of our drivers - Igor and Sergey. One word - professionals.

In general, we were very satisfied and are thinking about a tour to the Baltics with Selena-tour (especially if Julia is lucky).

Thanks again for such a wonderful holiday.

P.S. I didn’t put 10 just so that they still have room to grow :)
