I wish I could remember our tour guides name because she was the best! She was so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful! She even saved a turtle while we were on our tour! I don’t think there was any question she couldn’t answer and I think we could have spent all day following her around and learning more about the Ancient Greek Mythology.
