Once again, Dimitra does an amazing job of presenting the highlights, adding context to make the information fascinating and meaningful.
This was a great presentation. Dimitra a fantastic presenter
We learned so much about the history, geography, and beauty of Crete in this informative and picturesque talk. We will look forward to our next trip to Crete, to see places discussed by Dimitra.
I loved the voyage around Crete which was most informative. Dimitra makes me want to go. As always, she
gives us an inspiring hour.
Last spring, perhaps 6 weeks before 8 of us traveled to Crete for a week, I happened upon this lecture, and it was a stroke of good fortune. I had done absolutely no research, and learned SO much, that I was not only far more excited for our trip, but was able to easily use the information I'd gained to do a bit more web-surfing and prioritize which sites to see.
We then had the extraordinary luck to have Dimitra as a guide for 2 of our days on Crete. Fantastic reviews from all of us. My husband and I were leaving for Athens after, and she gave us great tips on that, and the other 6 were taking a day trip to Santorini. They all reported that without Dimitra's advice, their day would have been fairly awful!
While I don't see us returning to Crete for a long time (would love to, but just too many other places to see), I would not hesitate for a moment to learn from Dimitra on these lectures!
