点评:To give you an idea of the itinerary, before you think about booking through TUI this was ours and I really wish we hadn't bothered
1020 pick up at blue lagoon resort, many pick ups on the way picking up all nationalities of tui guests.
1105 arrive at kardamena - hanging around with many tourists of all nationalities until boat arrives at 1145. Pushing and shoving to get on board takes place
1210 boat finally departs. Not enough seats for everyone so sitting on dirty car deck
1310 boat arrives mandraki - guided walk (in English) by Manolis who was lovely. The walk is aimed at pointing out all the businesses for you to buy pumice, obsidian, volcano ice cream and buy lunch and is a money making machine.
Some of the shops saying they didn't have a €1 or 50 cents change and expecting you to overpay rather than them take the hit.
1325 to 1530 left to own devices and lots of hanging about. We had lunch in one of the tavernas which was nice though the wind suddenly whipped up knocking our drinks all over the table and we had to move and order more drinks.
1530 meet guide at coach - ours had broken seats, seat belts and the air con werent working and everyone felt ill with the heat
1600 coach arrives at Nikia - 15 minute guided walk then left to hang about and spend money in a cafe until 4.50pm
4.50pmback to hellride on coach down to the caldera
5.10pm to 6pm free time to wander into the caldera which was spectacular but smelly and very windy whipping up sand around the ankles and into your eyes.
6pm coach back to the boat.
630pm boat leaves and arrives back at kardamena 730pm - we had to sit on the stairs on the way back as not enough seating again
Coaches depart around 7.45 to start the drop offs - we got back to hotel at 8.45pm.
While the caldera is very impressive I wish they could just arrange the trip to go straight to the caldera and back to boat cutting the day in half. Far too much hanging around in 30° heat and one greek village is very like the next. 300 odd tourists all descending at once meant the cafes etc were all busy and not relaxing in the slightest.
It was a very expensive day out by the time you added on lunches, the entrance to the caldera and snacks on top of the booking price. The guides were not massively friendly and seemed quite uptight on the transfer coach and the boat. Our guide manolis did not travel with us and he does deserve a mention for his knowledge and effort on the island.
We went because my son, aged 10, was desperate to see a volcano up close but it's not something I'd repeat or recommend, especially for children. Think TUI need to be more informative about what's involved and address the health and safety concerns of cramming more people onboard the boat than it holds and ensure coaches adhere to basic safety standards.
翻译:为了让您了解一下行程,在您考虑通过 TUI 预订之前,这是我们的行程,我真的希望我们没有打扰
1020 蓝礁湖度假村接载,途中有很多接载所有国籍的 tui 客人。
1105 到达卡达梅纳 - 与许多来自各个国家的游客一起闲逛,直到船到达 1145。发生推搡上船的情况
1210船终于出发了。没有足够的座位供每个人使用,所以坐在肮脏的汽车甲板上
1310 船抵达 mandraki - 由可爱的 Manolis 引导步行(英语)。步行的目的是指出所有的生意,让你买浮石、黑曜石、火山冰淇淋和买午餐,是一个赚钱机器。
有些商店说他们没有 1 欧元或 50 美分的零钱,并希望你多付钱,而不是他们承受打击。
1325 到 1530 留给自己的设备和大量闲逛。我们在一家小酒馆吃了午餐,虽然风突然刮起来,把我们的饮料吹得满桌子都是,但味道还是不错的,我们不得不搬家去点更多的饮料。
1530 在长途汽车站与导游会面 - 我们的座位坏了,安全带也坏了,空调也坏了,每个人都热得不舒服
1600 辆长途汽车抵达 Nikia - 15 分钟导游步行,然后离开,在咖啡馆里闲逛并花钱,直到下午 4.50
4.50 PM 乘坐巴士回到地狱之旅前往火山口
下午 5.10 点到下午 6 点自由活动,可以漫步到火山口,那里很壮观,但有臭味,而且风很大,把脚踝周围的沙子吹进你的眼睛。
下午6点,大巴返回船上。
下午 630 点船出发,晚上 730 点返回卡达梅纳 - 我们不得不坐在楼梯上,因为座位又不够了
长途客车于 7.45 左右出发,开始下车 - 我们于晚上 8.45 回到酒店。
虽然火山口非常令人印象深刻,但我希望他们可以安排直接前往火山口然后返回船上的行程,从而将一天的时间缩短一半。在 30° 的高温下闲逛太多了,希腊的一个村庄与另一个村庄非常相似。 300多名游客同时涌入,意味着咖啡馆等都非常忙碌,没有丝毫放松的感觉。
当你在预订价格之上加上午餐、火山口入口和小吃时,这一天的费用非常昂贵。导游不是很友好,而且对接送巴士和船似乎很紧张。我们的导游马诺利斯没有和我们一起旅行,但他在岛上的知识和努力确实值得一提。
我们去是因为我 10 岁的儿子非常想近距离观看火山,但我不会重复或推荐这件事,尤其是对于孩子们。认为 TUI 需要提供更多有关所涉及内容的信息,并解决船上塞满的人数超过其容纳人数所带来的健康和安全问题,并确保教练遵守基本安全标准。
