We are not using a tour company. We found a local expert/archaeologist who is giving us a private tour.

Would your archaeologist be interested in a couple more eager travellers?

TravelBugM,

Could you give me any details on the independent tour company you're using for the Valle dei Tempi? DH and I have found nothing. Thanks.

Has there been any new information regarding a shuttle for this stop?

The olive oil soaps and lotion are great for gifts. I smell Crete every time I wash my face,

We really enjoyed Varna. It is very walkable. We took a ship shuttle to the cathedral and walked the town from there. The museum ( with the Thracian gold) was excellent. Then we walked to the ruins of the Roman baths (we always try to see a Roman ruin wherever we go). Sat in the square and people watched. It was a delightful town.
