OUR DE S TINATIONS Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays feature some of the most beautiful areas this glorious country has to offer and we are certain that you will become as captivated and passionate about Greece as we are!

Kefalonia p6-45

Home of Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays, Kefalonia is the largest, most varied of the seven Ionian islands. It’s easy to understand why so many visitors return year after year, as there really is something for everyone; dramatic mountains, stunning coastline, green valleys, secluded bays, havens of solitude and some of the most beautiful beaches in Greece.

Ithaka p46-61

Ithaka is virtually two separate islands split in two by a narrow hill ridge at Aetos. The north has superb beaches, interesting walks and the timeless small fishing harbour of Kioni. The south boasts the port of Vathy, one of the most idyllic seafront settings in Greece. The west coast of Ithaka is rough and ragged, while the east is typified by rolling hills and farmland.

Lefkada p62-79 GREECE, A TIMELESS CLASSIC...

“SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AND STRANGE COUNTRY AS THE ONE THAT HAS BEFALLEN ME. I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.” ODYSSEUS ELYTIS

Known as the White Island, Lefkada is wild in the west, with perfect beaches, a turquoise sea and rugged mountains above fertile eastern valleys. Inland, flower strewn hill villages nestle in lush, green pine forests. The rural tradition of centuries lives on in unspoilt villages amongst vineyards and olive groves.

Meganisi p80-93

Meganisi (‘big island’ in Greek) measures only 20 sq km and has a population of around 1,000. An island of character and charm, carpeted in pines and dotted with olive groves, where tradition and relaxation combine to create a small, peaceful and unique location where time really does stand still.

Parga and the Epiros coast p94-99

Justifiably referred to as the jewel of mainland Greece, Parga has a picture-postcard town and beautiful beaches. Dramatic scenery, enriched by a long and interesting history, provide compelling reasons to explore the area.

Paxos p100-127

Apart from Gaios, the bustling island port and capital, the rest of Paxos is comprised of small hamlets and isolated houses with no large holiday complexes. Even at the height of the season, this remains a peaceful island where it is possible to wander along old mule tracks on this ‘island of olives’ and discover shaded paths down to hidden coves.

Corfu p128-141

The most romantic and verdant island of the Ionian, Corfu has inspired writers and poets for over a thousand years.

Despite its popularity the magic remains through its remote, traditional mountain villages, glorious bays and beaches and rich architectural and archaeological heritage. We operate solely to the beautiful bays and harbours of Corfu’s idyllic north eastern coastline.

Skiathos p142-149

With its 68 superb beaches lapped by turquoise seas, plus a lush, green backdrop inland, it’s easy to see why Skiathos has been a popular destination since its development in the mid 60s. Bustling Skiathos Town has managed to combine its development as a tourist centre and busy port, while maintaining its original character of narrow alleyways, old churches and Venetian houses. This is in contrast to the island’s interior which is still rural with olive groves, pine woods and aromatic hillsides that few visitors explore.

Alonissos p170-173

The remotest of the four inhabited islands that make up the Sporades archipelago, this is the haven we all dream about when life becomes too stressful. This narrow wooded island, is about relaxation and tranquillity. There are many old trails, criss-crossing the island leading down to uncrowded beaches.

Pelion Peninsula p174-185

The Pelion Peninsula is truly unique. The Aegean on one side, the sheltered inland sea of the Pagasitic Gulf on the other and the mountains of the Pelion in the north. Protected forests of oak, chestnut and beech are the crowning glory of the Pelion.

Unaltered over the centuries, they cover every hillside, valley and ravine. The Pelion is unsurpassed for exploration on foot.

Apart from the island’s eponymous capital, a bustling harbour with a maze of narrow streets, old churches and a Venetian fortress, Skopelos remains remarkably undeveloped.

MULTI - CENTRE HOLIDAYS Every Greek Island is unique, even though they may only be separated by the narrowest of channels. Take Lefkada and Paxos for example. They might share the same wonderful climate, a common language, crystal clear blue water, you could even argue that a Corfiot olive tastes exactly the same as a Paxiot one, but to discover what it is that makes these and any other Greek Islands so distinctive takes time. Time to relax of course but also time to experience their individuality, culture, history and landscape. And that’s where we come in. No longer need you wonder what life is like on that island framing the view, nor confine yourself to a flying visit by tour boat, pleasant as it might be, we can make it simple for you to experience a stay on both.

We organise everything from flights to local transfers and accommodation. You will need to contact us for an exact costing. Due to different airport departure dates we are restricted to what combinations we can offer, but listed opposite are some of the popular options.

KEFALONIA

KEFALONIA Kefalonia, is the largest island in the Ionian and has some of the most spectacular scenery. There are the famous fir forests of Mount Ainos, the spectacular caves of Melisani and Drogorati, magnificent sea-cliffs in the west and the gentler beauty of the Lixouri and Erissos Peninsulas in the north.

It’s easy to understand why so many visitors return to Kefalonia year after year. As well as the stunning natural beauty of the island, the Kefalonian people are genuinely friendly and possess a marvellous sense of humour.

Kefalonia is an island of contrasts: the high mountains of the interior separate landscapes and ways of life that are uniquely different; south to north, east to west, each region has its own distinctive atmosphere.

Popularised by the hit Hollywood movie ‘Captain Corelli’s Mandolin’, the island has become a ‘must visit’ destination.

However, despite its increasing popularity, it seems able to soak up a lot of people without feeling at all crowded.

Fiskardo Tucked into the northern tip of Kefalonia and lined with elegant Venetian houses, Fiskardo was spared by a quirk of geology from the devastation of the Great Earthquake in 1953. Natural beauty, an intriguing history, attractive waterfront shops and tavernas and the comings and goings of fishing boats, ferries and yachts, Fiskardo has it all but on an intimate scale and with none of the brashness of the larger Mediterranean resorts.

A cosmopolitan history, that includes rule by the Turks and the Venetians, has left behind a wealth of sites of cultural and historical interest. As well as Venetian fortresses and various Roman ruins, there’s an ancient acropolis that predates its more famous counterpart in Athens. British designed roads and bridges are a legacy from the period when they governed the island in the early 1800s. m km

Assos The main coast road from Argostoli, Kefalonia’s capital, to Fiskardo rivals any of the more renowned corniches of the French Riviera. Constructed over two centuries ago by the islanders it is a marvel of civil engineering and hard manual labour, allowing the modern traveller access to one of the island’s most historic settlements; the tiny harbour and village of Assos, with its clifftop fortress and sheltered cove. Just a few minutes drive away is the world famous Myrtos Beach, a crescent of white shingle and sand enclosed by towering cliffs.

The South Coast Argostoli, the island’s thriving capital, rebuilt since the earthquake in 1953, is the gateway to the southwest coast, with its superb blue flag beaches. Lassi, Platis Gialos and Skala are the most popular but there are many other smaller stretches of sand tucked in secluded coves. Just a few miles inland is a different world altogether; fertile valleys fed by springs from the Ionian Islands highest peak, Mount Ainos are still cultivated for vines, wheat and vegetables. Traditional villages, historic castles and monasteries connected by traffic free lanes through fields and woodland lend themselves to gentle exploration.

From the summit of Mount Ainos, a rewarding expedition on foot, one can view virtually the whole of the Ionian.

TALENTI’S HOUSE 3 BEDROOM VILL A –– S LEEPS 2-6

An easy five-minute walk along a narrow lane from the village of Fiskardo, Talenti’s House is set in one of the area’s most enviable locations, right at the water’s edge, with gentle waves lapping against its lower walls. The villa has been designed ‘upside down’: the bedrooms are downstairs and the living space upstairs, meaning that the L-shaped living room and spacious terrace offer magnificent views across the Ithaka Channel. The rocks below the house are a perfect place from which to enjoy a swim in the crystal-clear water, while a small jetty provides a convenient mooring should you wish to hire a motor boat.

Talenti’s House is a popular choice for those who like a quirky, rustic unusual house with plenty of character in a spectacular location. Due to its location, we do not think this property is suitable for young children.

VILLA KAMINI 2 BEDROOM VILL A WITH PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL –– S LEEPS 2- 4

Until the 19th century, when the British occupiers built a road through the mountains, the scattered settlements of this part of Kefalonia maintained a way of life that had changed little since the arrival of the Venetians many centuries earlier. That Venetian heritage is still evident in the area’s elegant architecture: even in newly-built houses such as Villa Kamini. Its setting, among olive and almond trees with a vineyard in front, is secluded, and the view, across a natural oak forest to the wide bay beyond, is beautiful. A sense of seclusion and privacy surrounds the villa, but the cosmopolitan harbour village of Fiskardo is only a 10-minute drive away.

ITHAKA

ITHAKA There are two Ithakas; a small Ionian Island, two mountains joined by a craggy ridge, rugged in the west, gentle and more fertile in the east where the shoreline is indented by numerous coves and sheltered bays where it’s said a million olive trees of a type unique to the island grow.

Only 3,000 Ithakians live here but many more can be found living as far away as New York, Cape Town and Melbourne. Like their famous ancestor Odysseus they are a seafaring people and even today many a merchant ship or ferry is crewed by seamen from the island.

Homer accurately described Ithaka as “rocky and unfit for horses but good for goats”! A single road connects the island capital Vathy, with its sheltered fjord-like deepwater harbour giving the town its name, to a scattering of villages in the north such as Stavros and Kioni passing beneath the ancient monastery of Kathara, its bell tower a landmark from many miles away. m km

Vathy

Kioni and the north Ithaka is two islands connected by the narrow ridge of Aetos. The north ‘island’, dominated by Mount Neritos, with the historic Kathara monastery and the Venetian village of Anoghi on its broad flanks, has a whole series of sheltered bays on its eastern shore. Stavros is the largest of several settlements scattered across the north end of the island. The large central plateia beside the church is pleasantly tree-lined and contains the only statue of Odysseus on the island. From Stavros the road drops down a valley to the tiny harbour and port of Frikes with its scattering of waterside tavernas. Beyond Frikes, the road twists around a series of delightful bays, before a short sharp ascent reveals the picturesque and atmospheric harbour of Kioni, with its colourful cafés and harbour side tavernas. The surrounding coves and bays around Kioni are beautiful places to enjoy but most are only accessible by sea, therefore hiring a motor boat is necessary.

Vathy and the south Vathy is one of the more spectacular natural harbours in Greece. Almost invisible from the sea, its narrow fjord like entrance, guarded by twin headlands, each with the ruins of Venetian gun emplacements, is protected by the huge bulk of Mount Neritos, the island’s highest peak.

The town itself contains fascinating alleyways and stepped paths often lined with the walls of elegant ruins, their archways and windows covered in wisteria. The wonderful Archaeological Museum, housing collections dating back to the Mycenaean period, is also based in Vathy. The countryside in the immediate vicinity is glorious. Quiet lanes and tracks lead up the fertile valley behind the town from where newly opened footpaths can be taken to places straight out of Homer’s Odyssey.

Whether you stay for one week or the rest of your life you may absorb these lines by the famous poet C P Kavafy: “Ithaka gave you a marvellous journey, without her you would never have set out. Wise you have become and full of experience. Now you will understand what these Ithakas mean.”

LEFKADA

LEFKADA Considered to be the caribbean of Greece, Lefkada impresses visitors with its lush landscape and cobalt blue seas. Nidri, Vassiliki, Sivota, Lefkada Town and Agios Nikitas are beautiful places, each with their own special character. The beaches of Porto Katsiki, Kathisma and Egremni, are among the most photographed places in Greece.

Lefkada is Greek for white and the island takes its name from the brilliant white of the limestone rock. The island’s landscape is spectacular and varied, from the dramatic sea cliffs and magnificent beaches of the west coast, across the rugged peaks of the interior mountains and down through fertile, stream fed valleys to the gentler east coast with its wooded bays and quiet creeks.

An island only since the 6th Century BC when a canal was dug across the low isthmus connecting it to the mainland, Lefkada has its own unique atmosphere, due to its landscape, inhabitants and the influence of the many different cultures that have established themselves over the centuries. m km

Exploring the island by car not only makes discovery of its secret corners easy, it also opens up the equally beautiful mainland coastal mountains and the ‘inland sea’ of the Ambracian Gulf. If the sea beckons, boats can be hired to discover the many sheltered coves on the south coast, or board a Caique for a trip along the wild west coast with its towering cliffs, beaches of dazzling white sand, accessible only from the sea.

Lefkada Town The capital is situated at the north end of the island, beside the narrow isthmus. It is an intriguing hotchpotch of narrow streets, timber, stone and even corrugated iron houses, with a busy harbour full of yachts. The main square is full of friendly cafés and tavernas where you can sit and watch the world go by.

Nidri A bustling resort on the east coast road 15kms south of Lefkada Town, from where boat trips can be taken to Onassis’ island of Skorpios, Meganisi and the Inner Islands. Nearby a way-marked trail leads up to the unique Dimosari Cascades. Vassiliki, further down the coast is one of the world’s finest windsurfing locations.

The west coast On the west and north of the mountains are a series of traditional stone-built villages untouched by tourism.

From the village of Agios Nikitas, set in a glorious position above a crescent of sand and soft shingle, a whole series of wonderful beaches run north and south. Situated halfway down the west coast, a few minutes drive south of Agios Nikitas, is Kathisma Beach, one of the most popular on Lefkada.

Whether it’s a walk through the lentil fields of a hidden mountain valley in the interior, still cultivated and harvested by hand, or simply relaxing on an empty beach watching the setting sun turn the white cliffs a glowing pink, there is something for everyone on Lefkada.

MEGANISI

MEGANISI Meganisi, “The big island” in Greek is actually one of the smallest, unless greatness here refers to its beauty and tranquillity. The verdant landscape and turquoise bays fringed by pebbled beaches, lie just a few nautical miles away from the bustle of Lefkada’s main resort, Nidri.

With a local population of around 1,000, Meganisi is a haven for walking along virtually traffic-free lanes, coming upon hidden coves and quiet beaches or finding a shady glade amongst the olives to while away a hot afternoon, the silence broken only by the sound of goat bells across the valley and a view of a white sail on an azure sea.

An equally enjoyable way of exploring the island is to take the ferry back to Nidri and then choose one of the many excursion boats that circumnavigate both Meganisi and the island of Skorpios. The rugged coast is home to numerous large caves some big enough to sail into, and secluded bays, the most popular of them being Ambelakia which attracts a number of yacht flotillas.

There are three settlements, Spartochori, Katomeri and Vathi, which is considered to be the most picturesque village on this beautiful, unspoilt island. The beaches of Agios Ioannis, Fanari, Spilia, Limonari and Barbarezou are the most frequented, however due to the available accommodation on Meganisi being so limited, the beaches do not lose their virgin nature.

If your idea of the perfect holiday is freedom from stress, beautiful surroundings, a friendly truly Ionian welcome and sheer relaxation then the “little big island” has to be the number one choice.

PARGA & EPIROS COAST

PARGA & EPIROS COAST Parga is justifiably referred to as the jewel of Mainland Greece. It is an incredibly beautiful town, and the most perfect place by the sea. There are very few destinations in Greece to compete with the diversity on offer in this region.

Known for its scenic beauty, Parga lies on the Ionian coast between the cities of Preveza and Igoumenitsa, uniquely combining both the mountains and the sea. Imagine the Cote d’Azur without high rise hotels, rows of millionaires’ yachts squeezed into glitzy marinas, traffic jams, crowds of people and you have a secret Greek Riviera with stunning natural scenery and wonderful beaches.

The Epiros region runs for 60 miles from the village of Sivota down to the mouth of the River Acheron. Although part of the mainland, Epiros has much more in common with the Ionian islands. The hills and mountains rising behind and the Ionian Sea and islands in front, create an impression of being cut off from the mainland world.

Built in the style of an amphitheatre, the main village of Parga sits in a wide valley with tree clad hills on either side.

Parga is a perfect base for a leisurely exploration of this fascinating region, either by sea or land. Seasonal ferries and caiques run to Corfu, Paxos and Anti Paxos – or a motor boat can be hired to discover the innumerable little bays and islets in the vicinity. By car, the town of Ioannina, gateway to the Zagori and Pindos mountains, is less than an hour’s drive east through fascinating countryside on relatively traffic free and well surfaced roads. Smaller side roads lead through fertile valleys to traditional villages, far removed from tourist development, where rush hour might consist more of donkeys than cars. m km 10

PAXOS

PAXOS One of the smallest and least developed islands in the Ionian, Paxos combines turquoise waters, picturesque villages, imposing cliffs and fantastic beaches. Its hillsides are carpeted in olive groves renowned for the very highest quality oil.

Antipaxos is known for its vineyards, olive trees and the stunning, sandy beach of Voutoumi.

Small it may be but Paxos has all the variety of much larger islands, such as the rugged grandeur of its Ionian coast, the dappled shade and cool glades of its interior and the beaches and picturesque inlets along its east coast. It is a microcosm of all that is best in a Greek island, but on a scale that means it can be easily explored by car or on foot.

The villages of the island are intriguing. Gaios, is considered the gateway to Paxos and its harbour is spectacularly disguised from the sea by the small island of Agios Nikolaos, inhabited only by the local priests. Once around this most holy of islands, the harbour of Gaios opens magnificently to reveal the waterfront and the patchwork of alleyways and tavernas.

Its reputation as a romantic destination stretches as far back as Roman times: Anthony and Cleopatra apparently chose Paxos for a candlelit dinner a deux before the fateful Battle of Actium in 31BC, setting a precedent that discerning British visitors to the island have been happy to follow in more recent times.

Further up the coast one will find the tranquil retreat of Loggos, a picturesque, traditionally Greek, fishing village with four tavernas, a bakery and a mini-market. Close by, after a short stroll through the olive trees, you will stumble across the excellent peaceful beaches of Levrechio, Marmari, Kipos and Glyfada, all with white pebbles and clear as crystal aqua blue water. Inland you will find the village of Magazia, a village with tavernas and a mini-market set amongst the deepest of olive groves at the crossroads of all the inland lanes that wind around the island. Even in the middle of August, one can wander along any of the hundreds of paths and rarely meet a soul.

ANTI-PAXOS

If there is a paradise for olive trees then it must be Paxos, but one that is also shared with those seeking quiet, relaxed holidays in beautiful surroundings free from mass tourism.

In the summer months Gaios, the capital, and to a lesser extent the smaller villages of Lakka and Loggos, buzz with cosmopolitan mix of yachtsmen and day visitors from Corfu.

Aside from the olives, the beaches of Paxos have rightly earned the accolades of those who have been fortunate enough to visit them. The choice is wide, from popular stretches of sand where the active can enjoy various watersports and beachside kantinas, to hidden small beaches tucked away at the back of tree-lined coves.

But Paxos is far more than just an idyllic holiday destination.

Most of its inhabitants have lived and worked on the island for many generations, tending their olives or vines and fishing along its shores still play a central role in the daily life of the island and the visitor is very much a part of that life.

Perhaps therein lies the reason why so many return to this ‘paradise’ year after year.

CORFU

CORFU Despite its popularity as a tourist destination, Corfu is sufficiently large enough to easily escape the crowds. Its fertile interior shimmers with olive groves, its woody cypress-clad mountains are studded with tiny villages and its coves are fringed by cobalt-blue water.

This is the garden isle of the Ionian. Unlike many Greek islands, Corfu owes its lush and varied landscape to the presence of fresh water and its mild winters.

Popular with artists and writers for over five hundred years, Shakespeare himself is said to have stayed on the island, apparently inspiring him to write the The Tempest.

Nowadays it fully deserves its growing reputation as one of the Mediterranean’s finest holiday destinations.

Certainly, there is romantic quality in its many secret corners and hidden bays, particularly on its unspoilt northeast coast.

Corfu is only the 7th largest of the Greek islands but, despite its modest size of 600 sq km, is one of the most m km

diverse and interesting of all of them. The island boasts numerous palaces, museums, fortresses, archaeological sites, over 120 beaches, a couple of hundred villages and nearly a thousand churches. There are also golf courses, horse-riding centres and five cricket grounds hosting international tournaments.

The entire old city of Corfu Town is declared a UNESCO world heritage site. It’s an eclectic mix of old and new; castles, ancient ruins, gracious mansions, narrow streets and wide plateias, and a cricket ground, are clustered around a sheltered harbour. Once through the outskirts, the real Corfu begins. Farming and horticulture dominate the landscape, with sleepy villages tucked into the folds of the hills, dominated in the north by the impressive Mount Pantokrator, the island’s highest peak.

The natural environment is world famous, thanks to the Durrell family. It is home to a significant mountain range with valleys and rivers, waterfalls, three lagoons and numerous caves both above and below the sea. As well as the island’s citrus fruit and cypress trees there are more than 3 million olive trees, creating forest canopies over 30m tall. The majority of the olive trees on Corfu are more than 500 years old, planted during the Venetian rule of the island.

The busiest resorts, with the usual tourist attractions, are mainly in the south of the island. Our properties are situated along the beautiful northeast coast, where the pace of Corfiot life is much slower and more peaceful.

Tree-clad mountain slopes, wooded bays with delightful beaches, small traditional fishing villages and above all the warm waters of the Ionian Sea, all make for an outstanding holiday. Many have taken a lifetime to discover the secrets of this beautiful island, but the experience of just a week or a fortnight will easily last a lifetime.

“Gradually the magic of the island settled over us gently and clingingly as pollen“– Gerald Durrell, ‘My Family and Other Animals’.

SKIATHOS

SKIATHOS There is much more to Skiathos than its 68 superb beaches, many of them with the coveted blue flags, its watersport facilities and nightlife. This family-friendly island has succeeded in providing all the amenities of a popular holiday destination, as well as unspoilt space for relaxing in quiet, natural surroundings.

The main tourist areas of Skiathos are situated on the southeast coast of the island, however the west coast and interior are remarkably unspoilt and will appeal to those who love wild and empty spaces. A network of paths and tracks criss-cross this landscape, giving access to the rugged coast with dramatic views across to the mountains of the Pelion Peninsula. Farming and horticulture are still the main occupation here, orchards and fields bounded by pine woods with a scattering of small traditional cottages.

By contrast Skiathos Town has managed to combine its development as a tourist centre and busy port while maintaining its original character of narrow alleyways, old churches and Venetian houses. The town comes alive

at night, fortunately with none of the brashness of other Mediterranean resorts.

As Skiathos is one of the main entry points to the Sporades region, exploring neighbouring Skopelos and Alonissos, as well as the many smaller and uninhabited islands, by tour boat or inter-island ferry is simple. Much of the coastal waters around these islands have been declared as marine reserves, and regular boat expeditions leave Skiathos Town to explore the wildlife above and beneath the waves.

There’s never a dull moment on Skiathos but plenty of opportunity for that essential component of a Greek island holiday; relaxation in glorious surroundings!

SKOPELOS

SKOPELOS For many, Skopelos is the epitome of the ultimate Greek island. Despite an increase in popularity since the hit musical ‘Mamma Mia’ was filmed here, over a decade ago, Skopelos has maintained its authenticity. Unspoilt island life; simple food; quiet beaches; green, mountainous interiors; offer a complete removal from the stresses of modern life.

The Island of Reefs, so named because of its many offshore islets and rocks, could equally be called the ‘Green Island’ because of its spectacular craggy coastline fringed by the pine trees that are one of the island’s defining features. Where the pine forests end, the olive groves begin and where they end the orchards begin!

Virtually every fruit tree can be found on Skopelos, although plums are an island speciality.

Skopelos has a number of beaches, mostly quiet, like the kilometre stretch of tiny white pebbles at Milia, where the pines grow right down to the shore, or the fine sand of Limnonari. Rural Skopelos reveals itself in scattered hamlets of stone built houses with distinctive silvery grey slated roofs surrounded by woods and orchards to rival any in Greece.

Walking on the island is possible much later into the peak summer months than on other islands, due to the shaded nature of many of the paths and plentiful springs m km

and fountains. With no water shortage, a deep cool bath or long refreshing shower after a walk or beach session is not the over indulgence here that it might be on other drier islands! After all that, heaven might just be a slice of Skopelos cheese and vegetable pie straight out of the oven, fresh local plums and a glass of ice cold Retsina beneath an ancient pine with the sparkling Aegean beyond! Eating out on Skopelos with fresh local produce, imaginative cooking and friendly service is highly recommended. Fish tavernas in spectacular locations and ‘ouzeries’ serving local ‘meze’ are a speciality of the area.

Skopelos Town The island’s eponymous capital is a bustling small port and harbour on a spectacular bay, with a maze of narrow paved streets, the ruins of a Venetian fortress and nearly 125 old churches with over 360 churches in total. The bustling waterfront of cafes and tavernas is sheltered by huge oak or mulberry trees and behind these, boutiques, jewellers and souvenir shops reflect the more sophisticated side to Skopelos. The magical drive to the other main village, Glossa on the north west tip of Skopelos, passes through the unbroken pine forests and olive groves of the west coast that are one of the island’s crowning glories.

Glossa The northernmost village on the island, Glossa is a hillside town with magnificent views looking across to Skiathos.

A traditional village with elegant, whitewashed town houses and narrow cobblestone streets, it has a selection of tavernas, a mini-market and café bar. Glossa is linked to the coast by the small harbour and pebble beach of Loutraki, 5 minutes’ drive.

Panormos / Agnondas Panormos has one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, a peaceful village and a number of waterside tavernas. Agnondas is a beautiful bay built around a region of pine trees forests. There are a couple of excellent tavernas specialising in serving fresh fish.

ALONISSOS

ALONISSOS Part of the Northern Sporades and National Marine Park, Alonissos is mostly known for its incredible natural beauty, amazing beaches and crystal clear waters teeming with life, as well as its remarkable archaeological and historical monuments.

Alonissos is reached by plane to Skiathos and then by boat to the Island capital and port of Patitiri. The boat journey is a mini-cruise in its own right, as you navigate the crystal waters, passing small islands and spectacular cliffs.

Upon arrival, you will soon discover the unhurried and relaxed pace that is part of the Island’s culture. Rush hour may well mean half a dozen cars on the road at one time and jostling for a patch of sand on a crowded beach is unheard of here. This is not to say that there is little to do on the island, far from it. If you get tired of sunbathing then kayaking, snorkeling and diving are all available. From both a scientific and a cultural point of view, Alonissos is an area of great interest given the

archaeological finds (shipwrecks, old monasteries and churches) that date back to the prehistoric era, the classical period or the Byzantine empire.

At only 20kms long and 4.5kms wide, the island is a walker’s or mountain biker’s paradise. Dozens of wellmaintained mule paths criss-cross the island linking scattered hamlets and small fishing villages. The tiny, picturesque fishing village of Steni Vala with its lovely harbour and waterfront tavernas is well worth a visit.

Or take an evening stroll up to Chora (signposted as ‘The Old Village’), with its jumble of narrow alleys, traditional tavernas, shops, houses and ruined fortress, where you will discover one of the finest viewpoints in the Sporades. m km

PELION PENINSULA

PELION A land so beautiful it was chosen by the Gods.

Lush mountains, stunning beaches, surely we mere mortals can only agree.

Legendary home of the centaurs, the mountains of the Pelion Peninsula are quite simply unique. Covered in forests of chestnut and beech, riven by deep gorges, and with very few settlements they might seem accessible only to intrepid explorers.

Appearances can be deceptive! Although few roads cross the central mountains, the high villages with their distinctive tall stone merchants’ houses are all connected to each other and down to the coast by a network of ancient trails known as ‘kaldermia’. One such village, Milies is still connected to the coast by a narrow-gauge railway, designed by an Italian civil engineer Evaristo de Chirico.

The line crosses the many gorges via a series of graceful viaducts that formed a central feature of his son, Georgio’s famous dream-like paintings. But there is far more to this fascinating area than wild forest and mountain. m km

The claw-like Pelion Peninsula forms one arm of the almost landlocked Pagasitic Gulf. This gentler landscape with its scattered fishing villages, olive groves, vineyards and excellent beaches is more typically Greek than the mountains behind. The Pagasitic Gulf coast is more sheltered and typically Mediterranean, with olive groves and pine trees overlooking the sand and pebble beaches.

Exploring this coast by small boat is a delight or one can take a caique cruise down to the ‘claw’ of Pelion at Trikeri, with its small island and monastery.

The Aegean coast of the peninsula is more spectacular.

Here, steep stream-filled valleys and ravines end in treelined coves and rocky headlands, often with small villages such as Mylopotamos, perched on the steep hillsides.

Some of these villages are no more than a cluster of silver roofed stone cottages above a small cove which make a perfect base for exploring gentler paths that often follow the shoreline past pristine beaches.

Every cove, inhabited or not, has its stretch of sand or shingle and most are connected by kaldermia that follow the coast. Perhaps the best way to explore this fascinating region is on foot, using the ‘kaldermia’ mule track network. Volos, one of the major cities and ferry ports of Greece is the gateway into The Pelion from the vast plains of Thessaly. In recent years, the city has been transformed, with new pedestrianised shopping areas, an excellent museum and one of the largest open air markets in the region.

These days the chances of meeting a centaur on a mountain path might be somewhat remote, more likely a donkey, but The Pelion with its varied landscapes, fascinating history, unique architecture and beautiful coastline is a wonderful and unspoilt holiday destination.

MOTOR BOAT HIRE

MOTOR BOAT HIRE One of the delights of a holiday in the Greek Islands is the sea. There are very few places where one cannot see the changing blues and greens or hear the waves lapping against the shore.

There is something very special about discovering hidden coves and empty bays in your own boat. The boats are easy to handle and before you know it, you will be your own skipper for a day on a voyage of discovery through some of the most beautiful coastal scenery in Greece.

In high summer it is advisable to book ahead. You can choose either 15HP, for that gentle potter along the coast, or 25-30HP, with or without a central steering wheel, with a map to help you explore just that little bit further.

The minimum pre-booked hire period for 3 consecutive days.

Motor boat hire is booked in advance in order to secure your boat.

As a result of this, we cannot refund days lost to bad weather.

The price for each boat includes the provision of buoyancy aids, flares, oars, anchors and a sun canopy. Detailed instructions for operation and mooring and full local back-up service are also provided. However, when you hire a motor boat you are obliged to adhere to local laws which prevent them from venturing into exposed areas or going to sea in adverse weather conditions.

The local agent will explain the parameters of your sailing area.

Fuel is not included.

The agent will require the boat to be returned to designated harbour or quay by 4/5pm, this requirement is both for your own safety and that of the boats.

NB: At Pounda Paou, on the Pelion, it is possible to moor the motor boats at the apartments jetty for the full duration of the hire.

•S pecial in-flight requests: Please contact us and fully inform us of any disability or walking difficulty you may have so we can provide assistance at the airport, this must be made up to 7 days before departure otherwise we regret we are unable to guarantee your requests will be met by the airline.

Some airlines have a limited number of extra leg room seats available at an additional cost. These can normally be purchased at the check in desk or where they can be booked in advance we will notify you on your booking confirmation.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME FOR YOU TO TRAVEL?

For those not tied to specific holiday dates, it is worth considering the seasonal differences.

• May is the best time to enjoy the abundant flora, countryside and the sights as they are less crowded.

• June, September and October are the most popular months for those wishing to enjoy a combination of sun, sea and sights.

• July and August are the hottest months and are more suitable for traditional beach holidays than exploring.

Weather information is to be taken only as a guide as weather patterns everywhere, have become more and more unpredictable.

FURTHER INFORMATION

FURTHER INFORMATION WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT FROM YOUR ACCOMMODATION?

Our properties are chosen primarily for their location and appeal.

Our self-catering properties are all equipped with linen and bath towels (except beach towels). Maid service is provided on arrivals day and midweek (unless specified), linen and towels are changed on these days.

All our self-catering properties are equipped, for the maximum occupancy, with sufficient crockery, cutlery, glassware and utensils suitable for preparing simple meals. Kitchen facilities in our self-catering accommodation normally include ovens, but not always washing machines or dishwashers, however there are some exceptions and details are given in the individual property descriptions. Irons, ironing boards and hairdryers are also not the norm. Some of our properties have solar power so water may be tepid rather than piping hot, especially in the early mornings and at night, but most do have an electrical backup system. All our selfcatering accommodation without air conditioning will be provided with fans. Extra fans can be requested at the time of booking.

Our brochure is prepared and the photographs taken well in advance so some of the décor and facilities may well have been updated or changed. It is also difficult to describe and photograph each individual apartment so whilst all the main facilities will be common, the layout and furnishings may differ slightly.

Maintenance and repairs may need to be undertaken from time to time. In order to keep properties up to the standards we require our staff may make regular health, safety and quality control checks, so expect visits to the properties during your stay. If you do not wish to be disturbed, please discuss this with your representative. You are responsible for any breakages or damages caused by you or any member of your party during your stay in the accommodation. It is your responsibility to leave the property as you found it. You should advise your local representative prior to departure so that they can organise repairs or replacements as to not inconvenience incoming guests.

We also have no control over the opening and closing of local businesses such as cafés and tavernas at anytime during the season, property information relating to this information should be used as a guideline only.

WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT IN YOUR WELCOME PACK?

We are committed to making your stay in the islands as comfortable as possible. Many properties are in secluded locations and even though you may arrive at a reasonable time you may not have had the opportunity to shop and obtain basic provisions. For this reason we provide a basic food pack in all self-catered accommodation.

The Welcome Pack: This pack may consist of bread, butter, milk, jam, tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits, crisps, savoury snacks, soft drinks, juice, mineral water and a bottle of wine. (or similar items depending on local supplies). In order to support the local community all the products are either bought or produced locally.

WHAT LOCAL SUPPORT IS THERE? We have our own representatives based in each destination with offices in Fiskardo (Kefalonia), Vathy (Ithaka), Nidri (Lefkada), Gaios (Paxos), Corfu Town, Volos (Pelion), Skiathos Town and Skopelos Town. Our representatives will welcome you at the airport and ensure your efficient transfer to your accommodation. They will also assist you in arranging car hire and any excursions you may require.

They will endeavour to visit you at least twice during your stay, if you so wish, and will be available to offer friendly advice and guidance in order for you to make the most of your stay. Should you encounter any difficulties, they are just a telephone call away and have the local contacts needed to solve any problems. If you are not happy with any aspect of your holiday please do not wait until you get home to tell us.

Advising our local representative can help resolve most problems.

Just how independent you would like to be is entirely up to you, but we will be there should you need us. Our representatives are not paid commission, they are on hand to provide impartial advice where it is needed.

Please take time to read our ‘Things to do before you go’ booklet, which is included with your travel documents. It will go some way to enhance your Greek holiday experience and make your stay more enjoyable.

OUR INVOLVEMENT IN SUSTAINABLE TOURISM

INTERNET AND WIFI

SUPPORT FOR THE ECONOMY OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY

If an accommodation has internet access this is usually mentioned in the description. In most cases connections are sufficient for checking emails and light web browsing. Bandwidth restrictions may apply if the connections are used for downloading large files or streaming video content. WiFi is available in most villages and many local cafés also advertise free connections. Please note we cannot guarantee WiFi availability as this is dependent on local ISPs, technical issues etc.

On selected properties local charges may apply. This facility does not form part of our contract with you.

WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT FROM YOUR SURROUNDINGS?

Our destinations and properties are all chosen to give you a relaxing but authentic Ionian Island holiday. Many of our properties are in beautiful rural areas where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the local indigenous wildlife. In some properties you will be staying within the local community, so their way of life should not only be observed and enjoyed but also respected.

It should also be remembered that, although we make every effort to provide all the facilities you would expect from your holiday, you are on a Mediterranean island and it is possible that from time to time you may experience such things as a temporary power cut or water shortage.

In low season and on Public Holidays, some of the public facilities may not be available. Also during local festivals villages that are normally peaceful may be transformed. Sadly, there are no seasonal building restrictions on most of the Islands and we have no control over such matters, but we will endeavour to keep track of any planned long-term construction and withdraw any properties should they be affected. Any short-term local ‘DIY’ (such as low level building works) activities are, however, totally beyond our control.

We at Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays do our utmost to ensure every aspect of your holidays goes smoothly and to plan, but occasionally things do go wrong and when it does, we would ask that you kindly allow us the opportunity to put matters right whilst you are still in resort. Please contact your representative during your stay to discuss matters further, after all, they are there to assist you to and to help you get the maximum enjoyment from your holiday.

BOOKING CONDITIONS

BOOKING CONDITIONS These Booking Conditions and the Further Information contained in this brochure form the basis of your contract with Ionian Island Holidays Ltd also trading as Aegean Island Holidays. Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations. These booking conditions have been formulated as a result of our responsibilities under law. They do not affect your statutory rights.

Your Financial Protection

When you buy an ATOL protected air holiday package or flight from Ionian Island Holidays Limited (also trading as Aegean Island Holidays) you will receive a Confirmation Invoice and ATOL Certificate from us, confirming your arrangements and your protection under our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence number 5853. In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA will ensure that you are not stranded abroad and will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us for an advance booking. For further information visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk

1) What happens when you make a reservation?

All bookings are made and accepted subject to the terms set out in these conditions and the information detailed in this supplement. When you or your travel agent make the booking a contract is made, and we will confirm your booking as soon as we receive your instructions verbally, electronically or in writing. You must then pay the deposit together with any applicable insurance premium. An invoice will be sent to you, or your travel agent, for the balance of monies owing. If intended departure is within 8 weeks, then the total holiday cost, including the insurance premium, is payable in full at the time of booking.

2) Prices and surcharges

The price of your holiday was calculated using exchange rates quoted in the Financial Times Guide to World Currencies on 11 November 2016. in relation to the following currencies £1 sterling being €1.16 Changes in transportation costs, including the cost of fuel, duties, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports and exchange rates, mean that the price of your travel arrangements may change after you have booked. However, there will be no charge within 30 days of your departure. We will absorb and you will not be charged for any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges. You will be charged for the amount over and above that, plus an administration charge of £1.00 per person together with an amount to cover agents’ commission. If this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your travel arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy. Should you decide to cancel for this reason, you must exercise your right to do so within 14days from the issue date printed on your final invoice.

Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, by more than 2% of the holiday cost, them any refund due will be paid to you. However, please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place. Please check your invoice carefully to ensure that it reflects your intended booking.

3) How to book, what to pay and when?

The person, in whose name the booking is made, acts on behalf of all other persons named, must be over 18 years of age and becomes responsible to us for all payments in respect of the booking. Your reservation will be confirmed upon payment of a deposit of £150 per person plus any applicable insurance premium. It is a condition of booking that you are adequately insured on your holiday. We allow 5 working days from confirmation of the booking for monies to reach us. If after that period monies have not been received, the holiday is cancelled and cancellation charges will apply. We must receive the balance of the holiday cost at least 8 weeks before the departure date. Please also ensure you send payment in sufficient time for us to pay in and clear it through your bank, otherwise your booking will be cancelled, and you will be liable to pay cancellation charges as shown in Condition (12). If your holiday is arranged through our authorised travel agents and not directly with us, then all monies paid to your Travel Agent are held by them as an Agent of Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays Limited.

Late Bookings: For all bookings made within 8 weeks of departure, the holiday is confirmed as soon as you or your Travel Agent gives verbally over the telephone, or by e-mail confirmation. Therefore if you subsequently cancel your booking, cancellation charges as shown in Condition (12) apply. Full payment for the holiday, including insurance premiums, must be made at the time of booking in order to secure the reservation.

4) What do we charge for children, toddlers and babies?

The conditions below apply to all children travelling with Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays Limited. a) Definitions: an ‘infant’ is a child under the age of 2 on the return of such child to the UK. A ‘child’ is a person under the age of 16 on the return of such child to the UK. Handling Agents at airports will specifically check the child’s date of birth with passport entries. b) Price reductions for children are listed on page 191 and apply to children sharing with two full fare paying adults. c) The adult price is based on the number of adults and children sharing the accommodation. d) Infants travel for £50, cots, highchairs and baby seats are provided free of charge, if requested at the time of booking. Passengers booking places for infants, where the infant is found to be outside the age limits specified above, will be required to pay the full price

plus an amendment fee, before any member of the party will be allowed to board the aircraft. Any child booked as an infant who is, in fact, over the age of two on the date of RETURN travel, will be refused permission to board if there are insufficient seats on the aircraft, as airline regulations stipulate that children over two must have their own seats.

5) What happens if we change your holiday?

We plan our holidays many months in advance and although it is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to confirmed bookings, it can happen. Changes are usually of a minor nature, and we will advise you or your travel agent at the earliest possible date, if there is time, before your departure. Flight timings and carriers in this brochure are subject to change, confirmed details will be sent with your tickets. Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays reserves the right to alter the brochure flight departure time to a different time within a period of twelve hours of the notified time of departure, without responsibility for any loss or damage arising from such a change. Airport authorities or other factors beyond our control may vary the scheduling of departure times after this brochure is printed and the details given are for your guidance only. We are unable to accept any liability for any delay to your flight, whether the delay or cancellation is caused by adverse weather conditions, the action of air traffic controllers, the action of airport authorities or governments, the rescheduling of times by the airline, mechanical breakdown, strike or industrial action or otherwise. In such circumstances you may be able to make a claim under your insurance policy. We reserve the right to alter the aircraft type or airline operating your flight, this is not a major change, and we will be under no obligation to notify you of any such change. If a major change occurs, provided it does not arise from events beyond our control, you will have the choice of (a) accepting the changed arrangements, (b) purchasing another available holiday from us, or (c) cancelling or accepting the cancellation and receiving a full refund of all monies paid to us. In all cases we will pay compensation on the scale shown. A ‘major change’ is any of the following made before the day of departure: change of departure airport, holiday area, change of flight departure time by 12 hours or more, substitution of accommodation originally booked with one of a lower price or official grading.

If you wish, we will give you a credit voucher against a future Ionian & Aegean Island Holiday instead of cash.

Compensation per full fare paying passenger (excluding infants)* Cash Refund Credit Voucher £30 £60 £20 £40 £10 £20 Nil Nil

*NB: For children invoiced at reduced rates, compensation will be paid on a pro-rata basis.

Compensation payments apply to all holidays booked including reduced price or special offer holidays. However, in the case of reduced price or special offer holidays, compensation is 50% of the above rate. They do not apply to changes caused as a result of force majeure, war, threat of war, riots, civil strife or disturbance, industrial disputes, terrorist activity, natural disasters, fire, technical problems to transport, closure or disruption of airspace or airports or seaports, cancellation of scheduled airline or sea services, or other events outside our control. On rare occasions it may be necessary to change your holiday on arrival in resort.

In this event every effort will be made to provide accommodation of the same or higher standard in the same or similar type resort.

6) W hat happens if Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays are forced to cancel your holiday?

We reserve the right, in any circumstance, to cancel your holiday. However, in no case will we cancel your holiday less than 8 weeks before the scheduled departure date, except for the reasons detailed in Conditions (2) and (7). If due to events beyond our control, we can no longer provide the holiday originally booked, we will return your money, or offer you an alternative holiday of a comparable standard.

7) What are Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays liable for?

We will arrange for you to receive the services that make up your chosen holiday and that we confirm. These services will be provided either directly by us or through independent suppliers contracted by us. We are responsible for making sure that each part of the holiday you book with us is provided to a reasonable standard and was as advertised by us (or changed and accepted by you). If any part of your holiday is not provided as described and this spoils your holiday, we will pay you appropriate compensation (see ‘Section 5 - What happens if we change your holiday’).

We accept responsibility for the acts and/or omissions of our employees, agents, and suppliers while acting within the scope of, or in the course of their employment with us. We also accept responsibility for any deficiencies in the services we are contractually obliged to provide, or the failure of such services to reach a reasonable standard. We are unable to accept responsibility for any aspect of your holiday affected by matters over which we have no control. These include war or threat of war, riots and civil strife, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, earthquakes, weather conditions, fire, flood, drought, industrial disputes, government action, airport regulations and closures or technical transportation problems which may affect the service of hotels, villas or apartments abroad or the scheduling of aircraft, of other transport or other circumstances amounting to force majeure. Our travel insurance does provide cover in respect of some of these eventualities. We do not accept responsibility in respect of death, bodily injury or illness of any person taking one of our holidays, except when caused by the negligent acts and/or omissions of our employees, agents, suppliers or sub-contractors while acting within the scope of, or in the course of their employment, agency contract or supply of sub-contract.

We have done our best to ensure that our brochure is accurate at the time of going to print. However, you will appreciate that we do not own the accommodation, airlines or

BOOKING CONDITIONS

other services and facilities that you will be using and changes may occur. On occasions, especially during low season, certain facilities/amenities such as water sports, swimming pools, restaurants etc, may not be open/available as advertised, due to maintenance, weather conditions, lack of demand or other reasons outside our control. We also have no control over local businesses opening/closing at anytime throughout the season. We will give what assistance we can to a client, who through mishap suffers illness, personal injury or death during the period of the holiday, arising out of the mishap, subject to our reasonable discretion and providing that you request it within 90 days of the occurrence of the mishap, we will meet the initial legal costs associated with such proceedings. This is limited to £5,000 per person/ £25,000 per booking form, and may be granted as a loan if you have suitable insurance cover, or if there is any claim for the costs against a third party.

8) Personal injury 1

This section covers injury, illness or death while you are using the holiday services that we have arranged for you, including our accommodation. We have no direct control over the way our suppliers provide their services but everyone employed or contracted by us or by our suppliers is expected to carry out their duties properly. If they do not carry out their duties properly (or at all) and that fault results in your injury, illness or death, we may make a payment to you. We will not make any payment if your injury, illness or death was caused by an event or circumstances which the person who caused it could not have predicted or avoided even if they had taken all necessary and due care. We will not make any payment if your illness, injury or death was your own fault. If we do make a payment, it will be similar to one you would receive under English law in an English court.

We will make such payments for injury, illness or death on the basis that you accept that: • You must tell us and the supplier involved about your injury or illness while you are in the resort (see section 19). You should also write to our Customer Services at the address given in section 19 about your claim within 28 days of coming home from your holiday to allow us to investigate it properly. Please include a letter about your injury or illness from your doctor if you can.

• You should transfer to us any rights you have against the supplier or any other person.

• You should co-operate fully with us if we or our insurers want to enforce those rights.

• Any payments we make may be limited in accordance with international conventions.

• We ask you to transfer your rights to us so that we can claim back from suppliers any payments we make to you, plus any legal or other costs. We will not make a profit from this.

If we get back from the supplier more than we have paid you plus these costs, we will give the extra money to you.

Personal injury 2

This section covers damages, injury, illness or death which is not connected with the arrangements made by us. If you or someone on your holiday booking is injured, falls ill or dies while taking part in an activity which is not part of the holiday, or you need to incur unpredictable extra expenses for which we are not liable we will try to help if we can (see “section 7 – What we are liable for”). For example, we can help by: • Providing translation services • Communicating with authorities and others in foreign resorts • Recommending foreign lawyers (if necessary) • Explaining the procedures you should follow - telling you of any time limits We will help everyone on your holiday booking up to a total cost to us of £5,000 as long as the following conditions are met: • You must ask us for help within three months of coming back from holiday • You must make a claim under your insurance policy’s legal expenses or other appropriate section • You must show us proof that your insurance company has received your claim and, if you get back the cost of legal or other expenses, you must repay us any money we have spent in helping you.

Where the services in question consist of carriage by air or sea, our obligations and liabilities are limited in the manner provided by international conventions in respect of air and sea carriers. Be advised that in the event that you or a member of your party is disruptive or behaving in an unsociable manner, the company will have no further liability or responsibility to you in respect of accommodation or flights.

9) Conduct while travelling

We reserve the right to refuse to accept you as a customer or continue dealing with you if your behaviour is disruptive, affects other travellers, is threatening or abusive towards our staff, agents in the UK, in resort, on the telephone, in writing or in person. If the Captain of your flight or any of our resort staff believes that you could be disruptive, they can also refuse to permit you to proceed with your travel arrangements. If this means you are not allowed to board the flight outbound from the UK, we will treat your booking as cancelled by you from that moment, and you will have to pay full cancellation charges (see section 12). If this occurs overseas then you will become responsible for your own return home and any other members of your group who cannot or will not travel without you. In any of these circumstances no refunds or compensation will be paid to you and we may make a claim against you for any costs and expenses incurred as a result of your behaviour e.g. the cost of diverting an aircraft or boat to remove you. Criminal proceedings may also be instigated.

10) Extra persons in villas or apartments

The number of people stipulated in the confirmation of booking must not be exceeded unless approval is obtained from the Company’s local representative or from the Company’s London Office and the appropriate payment made. Any unauthorised guests found to be staying at the property will be asked to leave.

11) What happens if you change your holiday plans?

If you wish to change your holiday in any way, and we can accept the change, the following charges will apply. Timescales refer to the date of receipt of your instructions in writing, and cancellation charges are detailed in condition (12).

More than 56 days before departure – £25 per change.

Less than 56 days before departure – Cancellation charges apply.

Please Note: (i) No changes are allowed from a full price holiday to a special offer holiday. (ii) No changes are allowed from one season to another. This would be treated as a cancellation. (iii) If there is a change in the number of persons booked on the holiday, the price will be recalculated on the basis of the amended party size, subject to availability. If one person in a twin room cancels we reserve the right to pass on the full cost of the twin room to the person using the room. Any increase in price per person as a result of a part cancellation is not a cancellation charge and is not covered by our insurance. A separate cancellation charge as detailed in Condition (12) will be made against the cancelled element, and the booking will be re-invoiced accordingly. (iv) Name changes: Names can be changed at £25 per name up to 28 days prior to the departure date (only applicable to our charter flights). N.B. On scheduled flights no name changes can be accepted.

12) And if you cancel?

If you wish to cancel your holiday, this must be done in a written communication by the person in whose name the holiday is invoiced (or the travel agent through which the booking was made). In the event of cancellation or part cancellation, the following charges become payable: Period before departure date that communication received More than 56 days 55 - 29 days 28 - 22 days 0 - 21 days

Cancellation charge as % of total holiday cost less insurance premium Deposit Only 50% 60% 100%

Cancellations must be notified in writing to us or your travel agent and commence from date received by ionian & aegean island holidays.

NB: If the reason for cancellation falls within the terms of your insurance policy, then the insurance company will normally refund any such charges to you. The insurance premium is forfeited on cancellation. Please note this if you do not turn up for your flight, unless you inform us otherwise, your booking will be treated as a cancellation and normal cancellation charges of 100% will apply.

13) What if you break or damage anything on your holiday?

Should a client be responsible for damage to or loss of any item of the accommodation inventory during their occupation of the holiday accommodation, a charge will be made locally to cover the cost of replacement or repair. Please make this known to your Resort Representative prior to your departure. This will enable us to put things right for the new arrivals. Where any breakages have occurred and payment is due our representative will issue an official company receipt specifying details on the amount paid.

14) Beaches

Beaches, the sea, roads and areas around holiday accommodation do not form part of the package and have not been inspected.

15) Car hire

You must also pay for any excess on car hire insurance, parking fines and petrol consumed.

It is your responsibility to either resolve any dispute regarding damage to the vehicle, fuel and parking fines locally and make full payment to our local car hire agent before your departure.

16) Local services

Any services or excursions purchased locally in resort, even if these are arranged by our representative or agent, do not form any part of this contract.

17) Motor boat hire and sailing

All boating and sailing facilities are offered subject to availability and are subject to local Greek laws and the directions of the local harbourmaster. The Company cannot be held responsible for loss of boat hire due to adverse weather conditions. You are responsible for any damage caused to your hired motorboat, as these boats only have third party insurance cover. Any dispute regarding boat hire including petrol charges and damage to the boat must be settled locally before your departure.

18) Internet and WiFi

If an accommodation has internet access this is usually mentioned in the description. In most cases connections are sufficient for checking emails and light web browsing. Bandwidth restrictions may apply if the connections are used for downloading large files or streaming video content. WiFi is available in most villages and many local cafés also advertise free connections. Please note we cannot guarantee WiFi availability as this is dependent on local ISPs, technical issues etc. On selected properties local charges may apply. This facility does not form part of our contract with you.

19) What happens if you complain about your holiday?

If a problem arises during your holiday, it is important that you advise the supplier and/or representative at the earliest opportunity, who will endeavour to put things right. If your complaint cannot be resolved locally, your representative will ask you to complete a Client Liaison form, the original to be kept by you and a copy will be forwarded to our Head Office.

This form records your grievance or complaint made whilst in resort. Should you wish to take the matter further, please email our Customer Relations at cr@ionianislandholidays.com or write to Customer Relations, Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays, Olympia House, Armitage Road, London NW11 8RQ, or your travel agent, within 28 days of returning home quoting your booking reference number. Unless there is a valid reason, we will not consider Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays Ltd liable for any complaint that was not initially registered with our representative ‘in-resort’. It is unlikely that you will have a complaint that cannot be settled amicably however should you wish to write to us please allow 28 days from written receipt of correspondence in which to investigate and respond to your grievance. Please include an email address so we may acknowledge receipt of your correspondence.

BOOKING CONDITIONS

BOOKING CONDITIONS Disputes arising out of, or in connection with, this contract which cannot be amicably settled, may be referred to arbitration, if the client so wishes, under an independent scheme arranged by The Association of British Travel Agents Ltd and administered by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The scheme provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone, with restricted liability on the client in respect of costs.

Full details will be provided on request or can be obtained from the ABTA Ltd, website (www.abta.com). The Scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £5,000 per person. There is also a limit of £15,000 per booking. Neither does it apply to claims, which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences. The scheme can however deal with compensation claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a limit of £1,000 on the amount the arbitrator can award per person in respect of this element. The application for arbitration and Statement of Claim must be received by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators within nine months of the date of return from the holiday. Outside this time limit, arbitration under the scheme may still be available if the company agrees, but the ABTA Code does not require such agreement. Full details are available from ABTA Ltd, 30 Park Street, London SE1 9EQ.

20) What happens if you lose or damage a piece of luggage?

Under the terms of various international conventions, while your personal effects and baggage are in the hands of the carrier, the carrier is liable for the safety of such baggage. If your baggage is lost or damaged between the time of airport check-in and the recovery of the baggage from the carousel at the end of the flight, then the carrier is under a duty to pay compensation. The amount of compensation is determined by international convention, details of which are on the reverse of your flight tickets. In case of loss or damage, a Property Irregularity Report must be completed before you leave the airport. Should your claim be in excess of the airline’s compensation level, then you should approach your insurers to see if they will pay the difference. It is your responsibility to ensure that all your belongings are loaded onto the correct transfer coach, minibus, taxi or hire car. At all other times when your personal effects and/or baggage are in the custody, care and control of Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays, we will be responsible for the safety of such items. However, we will not accept liability for claims in excess of £400. Items of high individual value should be adequately insured, as neither Ionian & Aegean Island Holidays nor its carriers will accept liability for loss or damage.

21) What rules apply to flights including flight delays?

Civil Aviation Authority regulations specify that both the outbound and inbound sections of the air ticket must be used. In the event that the outbound flight is not used, the passenger will not be allowed to return on the inbound charter flight. Should anyone check-in less than 90 minutes before the ticketed departure time, admission to the flight is likely to be refused.

Should anyone be refused admission to the flight or to the destination country by the airline or government authority, then we are powerless to assist and cannot be held responsible.

In all such cases we will not be liable for any costs involved. International flights can be operated by Monarch Airlines, Small Planet, Germania, Thomas Cook, Aegean Airlines, British Airways, Easyjet, FlyBe, Thomson or any other airline operating CAA licensed aircraft. When you travel with a carrier, the Conditions of Carriage of that carrier apply, some of which limit liability. Such conditions are the subject of international agreements between countries. We draw your attention to the conditions regarding delayed flights and point out that we cannot accept any additional responsibility for delays over those stipulated by the carrier. This brochure is the responsibility of the tour operator. It is not issued on behalf of, and does not commit, the airline(s) mentioned herein, or any airline whose services are used in the course of the tour(s).

22) Data protection act

In order to process you booking and to ensure that your travel arrangements run smoothly and meet your requirements, we need to use the information you provide such as name and address and any special needs/dietary requirements, etc. We take full responsibility for ensuring that proper security measures are in place to protect your information. We must pass the information onto our relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements such as airlines, hotels, transport companies, etc. The information may also be provided to security or credit checking companies, public authorities such as customs and immigration, if required by them, or as required by law. We will not, however, pass any information onto any person not responsible for part of your travel arrangements. This applies to any sensitive information that you give to us such as details of any disabilities, or dietary or religious requirements.

If we cannot pass this information to the relevant suppliers, whether in the EEA or not, we cannot provide your booking. In making this booking, you consent to this information being passed onto the relevant suppliers.

23) Contract

This contract is made on the terms of these Booking Conditions, which are governed by English law, and both parties shall submit to the jurisdiction of the English courts. These Booking Conditions are valid until 31 October 2017. Issue date November 2016, errors and omissions excepted.
