First off for those of you who have never read any of my many previous reviews let me first say a few words to prepare you. One, I never leave the maximum rating possible. My belief is that it would give the rate no incentive to strive to better their performance, and also allows them the needed room to improve. Two, I believe and have been told I am firm but fair. Now. This was a most enjoyable destination that I had been waiting awhile to visit. What I learned was that the tourist should have been forewarned that the walk would be most difficult for a senior citizen or one with a type of medical condition. The roads were very steep throughout and broken in many places. They required an excellent walking ability and a good amount of youthful energy. My day was long and I logged over 7.5 miles. To add this was done in a sweltering heatwave. Beware. As far as the tour I saw much. It was fascinating and most satisfying. Now, on a negative side. We were assigned a young woman named Katerina as our days guide. While pleasant, it did not take long to see she lacked several skills for the position. She spoke in a very low voice. When she did speak, infrequently, she did not provide much information at all about what we were seeing. While she did not appear to be she was an excellent walker/hiker. I say this because she was constantly way ahead of my wife and I and if not for my wife pointing that out we would have been left way behind. Maybe she was having an off day. Good luck.
