Booking my travel package through Tratoli, I anticipated a fully guided experience. Unfortunately, what unfolded was quite different. Our guide merely provided brief descriptions of each landmark before allowing us to explore independently. This self-guided approach felt hurried, as he patiently awaited our return outside. In hindsight, knowing the autonomous nature of the tour, I would have preferred to embark on the journey solo.
