In order to go on a bus tour with a vacation at sea, you need to love this kind of vacation. If everything is in order in this part, then Bel-Orientir is really a professional in his field and, in my opinion, exactly the operator to whom it is worth contacting for a tour of this kind. It feels like their tours are author's and are formed (adjusted) based on the experience, reviews and interests of tourists.
It should be understood that the Greek route is difficult, at least because there are two countries that are not part of the EU (Serbia and North Macedonia) and these are additional borders, at the intersection of which you can stand for both 20 minutes and 4,5,6,7 hours (greetings to the Serbian-Hungarian border). This moment did not bother us or upset us, because in the end we got an incredible Balkan flavor! The operator competently approaches the choice of transit hotels. There are 6 of them on the route. Serbia is the worst, according to our company, but this is not the fault of the operator, but the specifics of the country. This is how the service works in this country. But the beauty of the landscape in this country is incredible! North Macedonia is a highlight of transit stops. I want to go back there and find out-to see more. Well, Greece. Greece is beautiful. And the sea in Greece is even more beautiful. The vacation at the sea was from September 12th to 19th. The sea was warm all the days. It was calm for three days, three days with waves. It feels like 25-26 degrees. There was a little rain on the last day. And it was wonderful. Our company stayed at the Pappas Hotel. About 1-1.5 km from the center of Loutraki. The choice was deliberate. We knew that you could get there either by taxi (we never used it) or on foot (every day, 1-2 times a day we had a mandatory walk). A small stretch of road without a sidewalk, but there was no criticality in this. The territory of the hotel is one continuous island of greenery. There are actually only hotel residents on the beach. The sun beds are free, there is enough for absolutely everyone. The beach is different (fine sand + pebbles, large pebbles, concrete). Everyone will find it to their taste. The water is the purest. There are no marinas, so there are no boat stops, which was a plus for me). Great pool. Breakfasts and dinners are varied (the main thing to remember is that this is not Turkey according to the all-inclusive system, but Europe and then there will be no complaints). Perhaps I would like more fruits. The hotel is half renovated, half not. We lived in the old part. Very clean, after the renovation it will still be beautiful and modern. The distance from the hotel to the sea is one minute.
Tour manager Alina. An excellent specialist who always answered any questions. Special thanks for the seating arrangement.
Drivers and the bus. The bus was quite new, Chinese (unfortunately, in real life it is almost the best thing on the market). Considering that the bus is Chinese, you should not count on wide seats. The air conditioner was working properly. No one will ever choose the ideal temperature for 40 people, so there will always be those who are cold, those who are hot and those who are fine. The drivers were professionals and very serious. Everyone shouldn't like them, but we loved them anyway)))). Their task is a safe road and everything was fine with that.
Well, the travel guide is Sergey, no, SERGEY PROKHORIK. If someone, while looking for a big tour, a small trip or an excursion around Belarus, sees this name and surname, feel free to go on a trip! A person who is in love with his work gives, as it seemed to our company, a piece of himself on tour. Very sincere, funny, with a wonderful sense of humor. He will always come to the rescue and help solve almost any problem. He won't be boring at all. And thank you so much for such an incredible and warm attitude towards the child. He will remember you for a very long time, just like all of us!
Thank you for 14 days of incredible emotions!
We will definitely be back!

We had a vacation in Greece in early September. The bus tour turned out to be wonderful! The weather was great, the bus itself was not very comfortable, but the company on the bus was just wonderful. The hotel also pleased me. The guide Sergey coped with his duties perfectly, was always positive and ready to help. The only drawback was the delays at the borders in Poland and Hungary, but overall, the trip left a very pleasant impression, and the whole family had a lot of fun.

The tour "There is no such thing as a lot of Paris." I really liked France!
+ A lot of free time, they offer a program with a group, but you can also walk and visit museums yourself
+ A good escort, interesting stories
+ Everything was done according to the program, despite the long passage of the border
+ Excellent price with included excursions in the tour
+ Booking seats on the bus for free
+ Apply for visas themselves without an agency
- not the best bus, there is very little legroom even for short people
- it would be better to have one specific stop for lunch at a cafe than 5 stops for snacks at gas stations
Please, more tours where there are 4-5 days in one city, because this is the only way to experience the life of the locals and do everything in time :)
