"Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos "
Just back from an Olympic holiday island hopping in Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos. Booking process was efficient and tailored completely to what we wanted. We flew into Skiathos using Jet2, a good experience. Pick up was fine. The first hotel, Filokalia Apartments, was a 2 star and very basic. Only a couple of rooms had a view, ours was just of the doors of the Apartments below. Lovely day and evening staff at the bar, very helpful, but I think people should be made aware that they charge 10 -euros a NIGHT for aircon, on top of a safe fee and the tourist tax. The first taxi for the transfer to the ferry didn't arrive because of a breakdown so we arrived with literally 5 minutes to spare to get onto the the ferry, which was very stressful. The rep, Kathleen, was easy to contact
and was very reassuring but perhaps an earlier pick up time would have been good. The next hotel, Aperitton on Skopelos, was a 3 star with free air-conditioning and safe. Pool area was better but the bar had little atmosphere during the day and we didn't see it open at night. Breakfast was included. Reception staff were very helpful. The transfer was on time. However, when I contacted the rep, Marianne for information on the transfer she just told me to find the operator's office at the port to get the information. The third hotel, Atrium of Alonissos was very pretty, with fantastic views. Staff were very helpful, facilities (3 star) the best on our trip, also with free air-conditioning and safe and a good breakfast on a lovely terrace overlooking the sea. Be aware, the bus timetable can't always be trusted as sometimes buses just don't arrive, but taxis are relatively cheap. All the restaurants on each island were good and not too expensive. Avoid the beachfront restaurants if you want better food, unless you want international rather than Greek food. All 3 islands very hilly with steep inclines and steps, so not suitable for families with very young children or anyone with mobility issues.

"Kefalonia, a golden gem of the Greek Isles "
Having used Olympic Holidays in the past it was my first port of call to book our Greek holiday and we weren't disappointed! It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. (Well apart from the delayed Tui flight home which was out of their control!) Transfers to our self catering place in the Poros resort of Kefalonia went very smoothly and were extremely good value. Our accommodation was superb, peaceful, well equipped and important for us just across from the sea. Just Beautiful! The town was gorgeous, very traditional with everyone so friendly. Lovely tavernas and bars. Had a car for 3 days to explore more which proved to be a valuable part of our holiday. The thing that made our whole experience special was the Olympic rep for Kefalonia, Les. He went above and beyond to suggest, support and make our holiday the best it could be. What a terrific, dedicated employee Olympic Holidays have there! Well done Les, and thank you for looking after us so well. I've had over 20 trips to Greece visiting different islands, usually trying new ones everytime, but after our superb holiday to this gorgeous island I will probably visit again in the near future.

"We had a fantastic experience speaking…"
We had a fantastic experience speaking with Rob Griffiths earlier in the year for our first holiday to Skiathos. He was polite, patient and most of all professional as I had 101 questions to ask him as it was our first visit there and was anxious about our booking. He put our minds at ease and made us feel comfortable with our decision. He was very knowledgable about the area. Now having returned we want to return next year and I will be phoning Olympic and asking for Rob. Thank you very much Frankie and Chris

"Excellent Experience .ympic were very organised from start…"
Olympic were very organised from start to finish .We were picked up immediately on leaving the airport at Kefalonia , taken to ferry and picked up and taken to our hotel in Ithaca . Les , our agent , was available 24/7 on the excellent Olympic app and gave immediate advice on local services . Exactly the same coming back . Using taxis to take us to and from ferries . Just got into check in before the crowds on the coaches 😉. Hotel was lovely , Nikki the owner even giving us a packed breakfast for the airport , Amazing . Hotel beautifully clean , a very short walk from the little harbour in Frikes , great pool and I would say small and friendly . Will be using Olympic next year .

"Stayed in avra apartments in lindos in…"
Stayed in avra apartments in lindos in August.
Positives:
Location is amazing. The views are lovely. The water is crystal clear and warm. The beach is lovely and well looked after. Our rep Tara was really helpful and responded really fast on the app chat function. The flights with jet 2 were good. The size and layout of our room was good for a family of 4. We had aircon (although this was a chargeable extra cash payment). The linen and towels were white and clean
Negatives:-
Whilst the room was cleaned and the maid was in regularly the actual "kitchen" and bathroom were very tired. The fridge and kettle worked but i would say that's about the limit of the facilities. I would not have tried to cook there.
All in all if you factor in everything I was happy and would love to go back to the Location. Olympic holidays did everything expected as did their rep. If they updated the bathrooms and kitchen facilities this place would be amazing. As it is its great on a budget.
