“Amazing day out. We were collected from our accommodation and taken up to a peak to look out over the town and then on to Santas park. First up was meeting Santa, then we had a buffet lunch that was really nice. After lunch we went to see the huskies and after that the reindeer. The guides were great and spoke a variety of languages. The walk up to the peak was a nice stroll and the incline isn’t very steep. It was a great relaxed day trip.”

We skipped the winery and made sure to visit Klio’s Honey Farm. Ms Klio had so much information about beekeeping and the honey and hospitality was superb!! What really made our day exceptional was our guide Georges, who was awesome. He was respectful of my walking limitations and got us as close to places as possible to limit my walk. He had lots of information and when we asked for an authentic Greek restaurant, he took us to a local place away from the crowds…”
