A note to Participants Please understand that many of the conveniences, which we accept as normal in the USA and some other countries, are not always as readily available in rural Greece. It is very important to bring with you all medications and prescriptions. Your needs may be difficult to meet in another country. The electricity supply in Greece is alternating current 220 V, 50 Hz. Appliances for 110 or 120 V may be operated by using step down transformers of 220/110 V, which can be connected to each outlet. Dual voltage (220/110 V 50/60 Hz) power adapters for wireless telephone sets are also required. We suggest you bring your own electrical adapters. You may experience a power or telephone outage during a storm or other related interference, which is fairly normal. Please understand that these occurrences are totally out of our control and that we cannot make refunds due to happenings such as these during your stay. Generally the outages are for short periods of time and will not result in any major inconvenience. All day trips require walking. Streets in the towns are usually sloped and paved with chiseled stones. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended along with a variety of clothing for various weather conditions. Anticipate warm days and cools nights.
