Great trip, highly recommend - Very good trip, amazing views on the way and in the asos village. The driver stopped for two viewing stops although that wasn't on the list. Beautiful place. Only wish we had more time in asos. Also, Mark who was helping us hook the trip was very professional and helpful. 💙🇬🇷

Nice location - village a bit disappointing - Lovely picturesque journey. Tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. However Assos was disappointing. Village is in a nice spot but there's not a lot to see or do. Beach is tiny and there's only a handful of shops and restaurants. There wasn't enough time to explore the castle.
