GREECE
Greek Islands . Classical Greece . Egypt . Turkey
Greece is somewhere that always exceeds one’s expectations. Everywhere you turn there are hidden treasures to be found whether they are impressive ruins and their history behind them, the various types of cuisines differing between regions and islands, and even the people you meet. The charm of Greece is that the experience is never uniform. Whether it is your first time or your tenth, there is always something new to find, see and experience. With its golden sands and clear waters, mountainous islands and green vine fields you will never get bored. Even if you are simply relaxing by the sea, enjoying a glass of wine in a typical taverna, or even on a planned sightseeing tour, the memories of Greece will last forever. It is sun, sand and sea with a difference!

EXTRAS & EXPERT ADVICE We can arrange additional services such as transfers, car hire, ferry tickets and yacht charter. Did you know that some islands are connected by only 1 service (ferry or hydrofoil) a day? Hence quite often they can be sold out in advance.

Our expert staff can actually compare one product to another and can recommend the services most suitable for you based on your needs and budget.
FERRY & AIR ROUTES There are several types of boats operating in Greece. Regular ferries, hydrofoils, high speed boats, catamarans and flying dolphins. They vary in size
and speed. Not all islands are connected by sea services. Olympic Air and Aegean Air fly between Athens and most main airports in Greece on a daily basis. There are limited direct flights between the Greek Islands or from other Greek cities to the Greek Islands. Most flights take from 35 to 75 minutes. Special airfares are available for those travelling on two or more domestic flights.
