Private Ground Logistics: For a group of 12, having all city transfers, island bus tours, and airport runs on a 100% private basis is a massive advantage. You won’t waste time picking up strangers from other hotels or waiting on tight group schedules.
15 Indian Meals Included: Greece is notorious for being tough on traditional Indian palates, especially for pure vegetarians. Having 15 curated lunches and dinners at local Indian restaurants fully bundled means you won’t be hunting for food or spending highly inflated Euro pricing on meals.
