Flights and transfers and ferries worked out very well! Hotels were good for the star rating. 3 out of 4 hotels were changed from the original. Resulting hotels were still excellently located close to town or easy city bus service. The one tour in Athens of the acropolis and museum was great. First time with an Air Canada vacation and we loved it. Enjoyed doing our own thing rather than the group tour. We ended up finding our way around and seeing everything we wanted to see at our own pace.

When we booked this trip we were excited about it being a self guided yet structured enough to include air/transfers/hotels etc. The cost seemed very reasonable until we got to the accommodations on the trip.
The hotel accommodations at the Superior level was not the case in each of our stops - which was very disappointing.
Paying for a level and not getting it without escalating on site was disappointing.
We had to pay an additional supplement to go from a Comfort level to that of Superior[... read more] in Mykonos. Extra money that no one has offered to reimburse us for. This was for our first hotel in Mykonos. The hotel was just above the ferry port, no means to walk to anywhere for meals or recreation. It was a walk down a steep road/hill to a busy road to catch a bus to somewhere.
At the hotel in Paros there was a Rat trap by the patio/refreshment area (have photos to prove) and our room was more or less a cell with twin beds. The low budget economy hotels in Ontario offered more.
Our last hotel in Santorini was nice, it felt very much like a 4* hotel in Canada.
Titania - Athens - not a good location. Room was out dated and dorm like.
Vianoulas - Mykonos - would recommend- great staff, service, location was ok. The room was very clean and amenities were nice.
Pragaki - Paros - no way. Room was horrible, felt very much like a cell or a room up in a mountain/village of Greece. Location was horrible - no way to walk to anything or catch the bus to anywhere. It was not a 4* hotel. The hotel staff tried.
Aegean Plaza - Santorini - was lovely and the accommodations, food, service, location was wonderful. We had no issues at all. It was a great way to end our trip. Thank God.
