Great trip, first week full of History and the second week relaxing on the cruise.

One item of constructive criticism: the trip to Cesme, Turkey was a total waste of time. There was nothing of interest there and wasted precious time on Mykonos, which we were only able to see in the dark. Our mainland tour guide was outstanding. He clearly has enormous passion for Greece and it's history. Trafalgar is lucky to have him.
