OlympicOpulence
How we define luxury
Step into a world of luxury with Olympics specially selected, hand-picked 4 & 5 star hotels.
Including some of the most stunning hotels and resorts in Greece, the Greek islands, Cyprus and beyond, you can swim in your own private infinity pool or dine on a terrace overlooking the sea with menus created by Michelin-starred chefs.
Sumptuous spas. Indulge in the home of natural therapies
The Ancient Greeks used mineral springs, seawater salts, and herbal and flower-based essences daily to aid well-being. Using small bathtubs, wash basins and foot baths, their bathing routines formed the foundation for modern spa procedures. There’s nowhere better to indulge in spa treatments than in a place where therapies have been a part of everyday life for millennia.
Infinity pools and swim-up rooms
Suspended between the sea and sky, infinity pools bring sensational panoramic views so you can truly dive into luxury, and sensational swim-up rooms allow you to go from bed to pool in mere seconds without needing to leave your room. Be inspired by Olympic Holidays’ favourite hotels where the pools are the focus and add a further touch of class to your perfect holiday.
Relax in Sumptuous Spas
Fine Dining
Dining out is one of the biggest treats while on holiday. From regional specialities and freshly caught fish to organic local produce there is always a wonderful choice. Dining and menus are enhanced by top chefs and guest chefs creating delightful, delectable dishes at many hotels and resorts.
Exclusively For Adults
We know that many of our customers prefer to enjoy their holiday exclusively in the company of other adults. Turn off your mobile, close your laptop, and spend your days rejuvenating the mind and soul with simple pleasures in quiet, relaxing surroundings.
Family Friendly
Holidaying as a family doesn’t mean having to skimp on luxury. In the Med, family is all-important so children are welcomed, and you can expect genuine warmth and hospitality. There are babysitting services, clubs for kids and teenagers, and professionally run sports clubs and activities that all the family can enjoy together. Some spas also accommodate over 12s for those who want to experience some grown-up pampering! Olympic opulence can be for everyone.

THE ISLANDS Ionian
Islands
Lazy days and late nights
On Greece’s west coast, the Ionian islands has gloriously hot summers made comfortable by mild breezes for the ultimate enjoyment of stunning golden beaches and gentle seas.
The Ionian islands hold a strategic location, and as such were under Venetian control in the 1200s. This western influence ensured that the islands would always have a different feel to the rest of Greece – something that is still evident today in both lifestyle and architecture.
Traditionally called ‘The Seven islands’ but actually home to many smaller ones, they stretch from the very north of Greece where the main six islands can be found, to Kythira on the southern tip of the Peloponnese.
Fantastic holiday in Paxos thank you! Our Olympic rep was superb. She was waiting for us at the airport and swiftly guided us to our taxi which transferred us to the port. The hotel was typically Greek and in a great location.

Dodecanese
The sunshine islands
These beautiful islands in the south-eastern Aegean Sea are much-loved for their fascinating history, medieval castles, Byzantine churches, quaint villages, exciting nightlife, fabulous beaches and superior climate.
Rhodes and Karpathos are the largest islands, with Kos perhaps the most popular, however the smaller and less well known Halki, Symi, Tilos and Leros are also really worth a visit. Dodecanese literally means ‘the twelve islands’, with each having their own unique character and offering something special for visitors looking for a new experience.
We have just returned from a 3 week stay in Lindos, Rhodes. It was totally magical to sit outside the apartment with a glass of wine and watch shooting stars and the moon rise behind the acropoliswonderful.
RHODES
Legend has it that Rhodes was blessed by the sun god Helios.

The fertile soil of Kos has blessed the locals with grapes for wine, wheat, fruit and olives, and visitors can enjoy the riches.
Endless stretches of sandy beaches
Kos has a coastline that stretches for more than 290km. Water sports and lovely sandy beaches attract couples and families alike.
One of the most popular beaches is Paradise Beach, which is known amongst the locals as Bubble Beach. With white sands and clear waters, people of all ages will enjoy the famous air bubbles popping out from the shore which originate from the volcano at neighbouring Nisyros Island. Away from the sun, sea and sand, you can explore the atmospheric lanes of Kos Town’s historic Old Quarter, picnic with peacocks in lovely Peacock Valley, or visit the ancient Roman site of Asklepion and the birthplace of Hippocrates, father of medicine.

Kalymnos
Didknowyou?
Most of the inhabitants are Orthodox Christians from the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople which is based in Istanbul, Turkey.
An undiscovered haven
Widely known as the Sponge-divers’ island, Kalymnos is an undiscovered haven in the eastern Aegean Sea, with hot summer days and warm evening breezes.
Experience the real character of the Greek islands with life revolving mainly around the sea. Marvellous scenery includes valleys green with grapevines and orange groves, thermal springs, caves and even a Scandi-style fjord that cuts through the mountains at peaceful Vathy. There are brilliant beaches such as the sands at lively Masouri. Remote, secluded and lovely coves tucked into cliffsides and hills can be found. There is an amazing history to this island - the remains of a sanctuary that was a place of pagan worship for more than a thousand years; a clifftop medieval castle; the ruins of a fortified mountain village abandoned in the 18th century.

Experience DIFFERENT RESORTS THE Crete
Embrace distinctive traditions
Let the sunshine warm your soul as Crete reveals its exceptional beauty and diverse landscapes. With dream-like villages, stunning beaches, rugged canyons and green hillsides, Crete – the largest of the Greek islands – has distinctive traditions to embrace.
Meet hospitable locals in the coffee houses or join in the many festivals where music is the food of love. Drive into the White Mountains, hike through Samaria Gorge National Park, discover the cave where, according to legend, Zeus was born or recharge your batteries on palm-fringed beaches.
Whatever you choose, Crete never disappoints. The island is the birthplace of the Minoans, who ruled 4,000 years ago, and you can visit the Palace of Knossos and many more fascinating archaeological sites.
I wanted a holiday company to organise my travel and hotel stay in Crete. I was so pleased that I chose Olympic Holidays, they made sure that everything fell into place and kept me informed.

Let Olympic Holidays transport you to islands that offer a truly delicious mix of fabulous Greek experiences.
You’ve decided to go on holiday so why not indulge and choose two, three or more hops in the Greek islands and beyond? We feature more than 50 islands, each with a character of its own.
Fall in love with Greece and her islands by visiting more of the traditional Greece. Stay with friendly hosts, enjoy chatting and eating with locals in tavernas, find hidden coves, and learn about the ancient myths and culture.
Olympic holidays organised our 5 destination Greek island hop from start to finish. Transfers, ferries and hotels. Everything went according to plan and left my wife and I with nothing to do but relax and enjoy the holiday. I would have no hesitation in recommending the company to others.
IT'S YOUR
Choice...
Perhaps it will be the Dodecanese. Sunny Rhodes, with more than 40 beaches, beautiful Symi for a peaceful hideaway where you can sit in a bar and chat with locals, or Kos for a mix of relaxation and fun.
Or consider the Sporades with lush green vegetation and rocky coastlines. Skiathos and Skopelos combine a delicious liveliness and charm, while laidback Alonissos is a chill-out zone for walkers and wildlife lovers.
The Ionian islands are also full of temptation. There's Zante with golden sandy beaches and plenty of sleepy countryside to explore, plus bars and restaurants galore. Corfu with breathtaking
landscapes and a gorgeous Venetian town, and Kefalonia with its wealth of hidden gems and lush nature trails.
As for the Cyclades, they need little introduction. With romantic sunsets in Santorini, sophisticated restaurants in Mykonos, windsurfing in Naxos, beautiful beaches on Paros, and quaint, charming Syros which provides a taste of ‘real Greece’.
And why leave it to just Greece? We are the island specialists so why not hop between the Canaries or Malta and Gozo?
We can tailor any island hopping itinerary to your requirement, with a choice of nights and accommodation, low cost to luxury, simple to special occasion, active and adventurous to temples and tranquility, nothing is too much. Here are some suggested island combinations on the coming pages to try and help you decide.

Your journey starts in Kefalonia with hidden gems, lakes and lush trails, followed by the golden sands, adventures and party-style nightlife of Zante.
Suggested itinerary
Kefalonia
Kefalonia is an enchanting sun-kissed island of contrasts, with dramatic mountains, crystal clear waters, underground lakes, pretty pebbled beaches, and sandy bays. The waters are home to a treasure trove of marine wildlife, including dolphins, rare monk seals and loggerhead turtles. On land you can get up close to some of Kefalonia’s wildlife in the national park, with wild ponies, golden eagles and osprey.
Ferry to Zante (60 minutes - daily)
Zante (Zakynthos)
Picturesque countryside, dramatic cliffs, golden beaches and clear waters make Zante irresistible to both couples and families, and is the perfect Greek island for those who love the sea and water sports. Zante also attracts those celebrating weddings and honeymoons and has been colourfully billed as ‘the green island of poetry, song and love’. Make sure you venture out and see the island’s best sights, like the stalactites, blue caves, and the ‘shipwreck.‘
Well what can I say? An absolutely amazing holiday. First time to Zante and what a beautiful place. I will definitely be booking again for next year.

Suggested itinerary
Santorini
Renowned for spectacular sunsets and rugged volcanic beauty, incredible Santorini curves around a giant lagoon in the Cyclades Islands. If you’re imagining idyllic whitewashed villages, blue-domed churches, perfect blue skies and the most incredible sunsets, you’ll be dreaming about a holiday to Santorini. Fiery sunsets on this island are particularly aweinspiring, in fact, sunsets and Santorini go hand-in-hand. Ferry to Mykonos (2-3 hours – daily)
Mykonos
Magnificent Mykonos is one of the most cosmopolitan of the Greek islands. A favourite among sophisticated holidaymakers and those seeking plenty of nightlife and fine cuisine, it also provides some of the best sandy shores in the Aegean Sea. This Cycladic gem with its famous hilltop windmills, has so much to offer.
I had an amazing time in Mykonos. The place is so beautiful. The accommodation was just perfect and the location couldn't have been better.

Kos
Not just a party island, Kos’ water sports and sandy beaches are a true delight. Our friends on the island tell us that Bubble Beach with its soft sands, clear waters, and famous air bubbles that pop out due to the volcano at neighbouring Nisyros Island, is the best place to be. Explore the atmospheric lanes of Kos Town’s historic Old Quarter, or picnic with peacocks in the lovely and aptly named Peacock Valley.
Ferry to Kalymnos Ferry to Kalymnos (45 - 60 minutes – daily)
Kalymnos
Kalymnos’ colourful main town of Pothia clusters around a picturesque harbour. Once the sponge diving centre of Greece, now the island’s rugged mountains attract rock climbers from around the world and is also popular for hiking and scuba diving. But many choose to take life easy and enjoy the quiet beaches, pretty villages, and scenic countryside of the beautiful, 12 mile long island.

Relax on the crystal beaches of Paros island, and meander through the paved streets of quaint villages like Naoussa, Parikia and Lefkes with their whitewashed houses and iconic blue-domed churches. Golden Beach on the south eastern side of Paros is popular, and you can easily take a leisurely day trip to the small island of Antiparos to enjoy its crystal beaches and chilled vibe.
Ferry to Santorini (3 hours – daily)
Santorini
Skopelos is a little bit of Greece that reminds me of my first visit in the 70s. Food so tasty and simple, people so friendly. Lovely walks empty beaches.
One of the world’s most romantic destinations is all due to one of the world’s largest volcanic eruptions taking place in about 1,500 BC! So many years later and the breathtaking views, shimmering sunsets and luxurious resorts are what makes the island such a hot destination, and keeps Santorini at the top of most people’s romantic wish lists.
Santorini
Paros
We had an amazing time on our 10 night trip to Greece, stopping at Crete, Paros and Santorini. Neither me nor my sister have had experience island hopping before and Olympic Holidays and the reps on each island made our trip stress free and really enjoyable.

Share in the secret of these lesser known gems on beautiful coastlines, offering unspoilt fishing villages full of tranquil charm.
Suggested itinerary
Corfu
An enchanting island which hangs from the heel of Italy next to the west coast of Greece. Discover Paleokastritsa, one of the most popular bays, and explore the island’s golden sands and quiet coves for secluded bathing. Most hotels have sea views and many offer water sports, so take your pick from gentle swims to all-action sailing during your hop to Corfu.
Ferry to Sivota (2 hours – daily)
Sivota
Sivota is where cool, green forests meet peaceful, sandy coves. Diving clubs, kayaking, windsurfing and paragliding are all popular, so plan your days around the waterfront, or take a boat trip to the romantic isle of Paxos.
Vehicle transfer to Lefkas (80 minutes – daily)
Lefkada (Lefkas)
Among sandy and pebbled beaches is secluded Porto Katsiki – the ‘Port of Goats’ – once only reached by goats, now with steep steps down the cliffside, but also accessible by boat. The Island that isn't really an island, Lefkas is actually linked to the mainland by a causeway dotted with pretty villages, plenty of traditional tavernas and spectacular waterfalls.
Theotokos Monastery
We arrived home today from Nidri in Lefkas. We have holidayed around this island three times now and I've got to say that this was the best to date.
Rhodes, Symi & Kos
From splashing in the sea to eating in traditional tavernas, a Greece family holiday is one that you’ll never forget.
Suggested itinerary
Rhodes
Legend has it that Rhodes was blessed by the sun god Helios, which is why it enjoys 300 days of glorious sunshine a year! As well as fantastic weather, Rhodes provides a rich classic heritage, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Often labelled as the island of contrasts, there’s something for everyone here.
Ferry to Symi (90 mins - daily)
Symi
21 miles from Rhodes, across the Aegean Sea, gorgeous little Symi is full of character and beauty. One of the most picturesque of all the islands, the focal point of Symi is Yialos Harbour. Its sophisticated centre has a good selection of charming tavernas, cafes and fish restaurants, with hundreds of Italian style mansions built up on the hills.
Ferry to Kos (2 hours - daily)
Kos
Away from sun, sea and sand, you can explore the atmospheric lanes of Kos Town’s historic Old Quarter, enjoy a sunset horseback ride through the magnificent mountains too, or visit the ancient Roman site of Asklepion and the birthplace of Hippocrates, father of medicine. For anyone looking for a spot of nightlife, look no further than Kardamena, the island’s hotspot for bars.
Great service throughout our holiday to Rhodes, Symi and Kos. I would have no issue using Olympic again.

Suggested itinerary
Santorini
With dark grey sands and a striking backdrop of jagged cliffs, Kamari Beach has Blue Flag status. The cliffs around Fifa rise high above sea level and offer views that will never be forgotten, and its whitewashed houses are among the most photographed in Greece. Fiery sunsets on this island are particularly awe-inspiring, in fact sunsets and Santorini go hand in hand.
Ferry to Naxos (2 hours - daily)
Naxos
Some say this little island is the most beautiful in all of the Cyclades, famous for its exquisite sandy beaches and ancient sites. The capital Naxos Town (Hora) is home to the Portara - the remains of the entrance to the temple of Apollo - and is made up of whitewashed buildings and atmospheric narrow streets with great restaurants, cafes and bars.
Ferry to Mykonos (45 mins - daily)
Mykonos
Cameras ready as you approach hedonistic Mykonos so you can snap the line of windmills above the harbour. Mykonos is a great mix, with amazing sandy beaches, some with day and night dance clubs, and others that are much quieter, it suits the young and trendy but is still family friendly. This island that rocks is quieter out of peak season.

Blue Flag sandy beaches, secluded picturesque coves and the chance to unwind. Pefkos is a great resort positioned 56 kilometres from the capital of Rhodes Town and surrounded by pine trees, which is how Pefkos got its name ('Pefki' means 'Pine' in Greek). Built on an old fisherman's bay, Pefkos is sleepy and relaxed by day and at night becomes a warm magical place, offering lots in the way of delightful restaurants, music bars and discos.
Worth a visit is Kalithea Springs, a short drive from Rhodes town, we spent a day there in magnificent surroundings. My husband and I had the best time and we cannot wait to return.

Loved the fact you could walk to the beach near the Eucalyptus trees and camping area with bar on the beach or walk the other way along the sea front to Latchi past the award-winning beach and to the marina area. Polis is also a great place for bars and restaurants and to feel the Cypriot atmosphere. Everyone is so friendly.
