"Greek Odyessi"

We were very lucky with the choice of accommodation. The Panorama Fanari apartments in Agrostoli Kefalonia, the staff, were most welcoming, helpful and friendly. The second destination was Hotel Nostos in Frikes Ithaca, again we we had a friendly welcome the accommodation was very good . We also had excellent service from Les the island rep. He answered all our varied requests and kept us informed about our travel arrangements.

"Amanda zante rep"

Amanda the Rep for zante is great, easy to get in contact with and helps out with anything she can. She really helped my family out on their trip when my dad ended up in hospital. Would highly recommend

"Island Hopping"

We island hopped Syros, Tinos and Andros, the hotels and rooms were great as were the connections on the ferris and pick-ups.
There was a weather hiccup at the end of the holiday resulting in the ferries not running on the day we had to leave - Olivia the rep was great she got everything sorted in terms of new ferries, hotel, connections and flight changes and stayed in contact with regular updates.

"Travel securely with Olympic Holidays. It's only when you experience problems…"

It's only when you experience problems on a holiday that you fully appreciate the benefits of your tour operator. When our ferry from Andros was cancelled (which meant missing flights too), Olympic Holidays were excellent in resolving the knock on issues that followed. Rearrangements were efficiently made reflecting our needs with very good and prompt communications. We would particularly like to thank Olivia Dimitrakopoulos for her hard work.
The hotels: Novus City Hotel, Athens, was ok but tired, needing an uplift. The city location was good and the service friendly.
Micra Anglia .B. Hotel, Andros, was excellent in all regards. Would highly recommend.
Mytro Hotel, Rafina, was poor, both rooms and breakfast. This was a substitute hotel for the Micra Anglia which we had paid for in our original holiday arrangements, the one blemish on the Olympic Holiday package.
Transfers: All successful although a slight hiccup at Lavrio as initially we could not find the driver.
Overall we would recommend Olympic Holidays, they ensured we had a enjoyable and successful holiday.

"Debatable value for money"

Olympic Holidays were quick to respond to queries, information provided was clear and easy to follow.
We stayed at The Eden Hotel, Puerto de Soller - the food was great. We paid extra for sea view balcony but no shade was provided and we were not able to sit outside. The sofa bed was really grubby, and the bathroom felt tired and again grubby. It did not reflect the price. Staff on the roof terrace bar were feeding nuts to the pigeons and we witnessed one pigeon peeing into the nuts being taken to guests.
Overall Olympic great, hotel food great, hotel staff friendly and hard working, hotel room cleanliness average to poor. Location brilliant.

"Avra Apartments- Lindos Rhodes"

Avra self catering apartments have always been very basic, but the beach location has more than made up for it, this year however took basic to another level! The cleaning was almost non existent with excessive sand building up on the floors, shower room grubby and balcony floor only swept once in a 2 week holiday with rat droppings evident. The kettle as usual doesn’t reach a plug and there are no drawers or wardrobe for 2nd room. The shower curtain doesn’t fit and sticks to every part of your body. This is usual for Avra but after 25 years you’d think there would be some improvements! The holiday this year was so much noisier with multiple weddings and parties in the beach tavernas, not sure I can stand another Grease medley ! The weather was superb, the beach amazing with great walks, will I be back - yes of course but come on Avra, improvements are well overdue !

"Ionian Island Hopping in september"

We did a 10 day island hopping holiday: Corfu - Lefkada - Kefallonia. In hindsight, we probably should have just done a couple of islands as it was very exhausting trying to make the most of what each island had to offer (not to mention the long taxi transfers from each ferry port to our hotels, which on Greek roads can make you feel a little sick after a while). We did 3 islands in 10 days as recommended by the lonely planet guide, but would have been useful to have been advised by Olympic the reality of fitting in 3 Islands at point of booking.

As our first package holiday, we were very impressed with the efficiency of our ferry/taxi transfers included, which were always on time, and our useful welcome packs at each hotel waiting for us.

We were very disappointed with our first apartment, anemona apartments, in sidari corfu. This apartment was situated too far away from where we wanted to explore (the Old Town), perhaps we should have checked this ourselves when booking, but it meant a long hour+ transfer journey from arrival at midnight to the hotel, which was not ideal and would have been good to know beforehand. When we arrived I noticed the towels were dirty, as was my bedside table. The shower holder was also broken. So not a great start! I tried to resolve these in the morning, but did not feel like the staff cared and was advised to contact the Olympic rep, who would then contact the owners directly. The shower was fixed and new towels were provided but we had also requested extra pillows and an iron which we never received... the room was riddled with mosquitos due to holes in the mosquito nets, so we came away with many bites. The hotel staff were very loud at the poolside every night after midnight, so hard to get a quiet night's sleep.

We particularly loved our second place, the luxurious Ionian Blue Hotel in Lefkada, with a peaceful pool overlooking the stunning ionain sea! Would love to stay there again. And we were also delighted with our last apartment in Kefallonia, Pitas Studios, maintained well by friendly Roza, air conditioned, clean, and in a quiet spot in skala. I would like to give special thanks to Les, our Kefallonia rep, for his helpful communication and island advice. He really looked after us.

Last point I would like to make would be that some more advice at point of booking into the location of the hotels would be appreciated. All our hotels seemed to be at least a good hours' bus ride away from the towns, and transport is not frequent on the islands so it made it hard to get around. One day in Kefallonia, we were so desperate to go exploring we ended up paying over €100 for a taxi into Argostoli as there were only 2 buses departing from skala each day and all cars had been hired in the town. The next day we managed to hire a car as it was impossible otherwise to explore the island - but this was an extra expense we were unprepared for. We would have preferred to have paid an extra €100 for a more central hotel instead.
