		Hi there! Where are dreaming of vacationing to?
	Traveler  01:58:00 pm
		Hello, Jason...
		I just sent a message for Jay, but I will copy it here for you:
		You may remember the wonderful trip you organized for me through
eastern Europe in 2011...a tremendous success.

I am contemplating a photographic adventure in Greece and wonder if you make arrangements in Greece for private tours or, if not, if you could recommend someone who is experienced and reliable for private travel in Greece.

I would be taking photos for use in research and instruction in university libraries, so the itinerary would be driven by academic interest in ancient and classical Greece as well as medieval, Byzantine and Crusader related sites, but with the emphasis on the Classical period. 

I would anticipate travel in September and October, probably arriving by trains and ferry way of Paris, Avignon, Genoa, Brindisi, Patras, Athens, and then in Greece by train where possible and by private car when necessary. I do not speak or read Greek, so might need help with transfers. I would not be interested in luxury accommodations, just the bare minimum in decent, safe, secure lodgings. I imagine at least a week in Athens, so maybe a short term apartment rental, or an inexpensive pension or small hotel in a suitable neighborhood.
Depending on how much of the work can be done in day trips from Athens, the period of lodging there might be longer, and if such day trips are made all or in part by train, then the lodging ought to be near a train station or metro stop on a route to the train station or stations. 

I will probably use miles on United to get to Paris, see friends there and elsewhere in France going and coming, then paper (NOT cell phone ap) Eurail pass for France, Italy and Greece. 

I am 70 now and walk with a cane, but get around well enough to carry a camera bag with several cameras.

If this is something you can work with let me know and I will work up an itinerary.  It might be a while, several weeks or more, before I can come up with an itinerary because I am working on something at my desk that I need to finish before beginning another project, but I thought it would be good to begin to identify a reliable travel agent for a trip like this and you are right up there among the best I have ever worked with, along with Caravanserai for the Middle East and North Africa, and Backpackers for Turkey.

Let me know...

Best wishes,
