Good Morning Danae,
I just wanted to thank you for putting together a wonderful vacation. The only comment from a few of us was that we should have stayed longer in Athens.
Everyone had a wonderful time. We had some pictures taken by a professional photographer, but we haven't uploaded them to the cloud yet, so I can't attach them. I have attached some smaller group photos. At the Acropolis, in Heraklion at a taverna, one of John and I at the Acropolis and one in Agios Nicolas.
It was a pleasure working with you and if we travel to Greece again or if I know of anyone planning to travel to Greece, your agency will be first on my list.
Warm Regards,
Noreen
