Had a great time island hopping - very well organised - Amanda and Les were excellent especially when our room was not up to standard at the Princess Hotel, Lassi - it really shouldn’t have been on their books! Amanda and Les were of great support and managed to move us to another room but this wasn’t up to standard but better than the first. On our final trip the Taxi was an hour late picking us up from port but we were kept up to date by Les constantly whilst he got to the bottom of the delay - really fantastic holiday and looking forward to booking our next adventure with Olympic

Just wish to express our heartfelt thanks to the Olympic Holidays team for making our 'Circle of Athens' Greek Island hopping holiday such a pleasurable experience. Special thanks to Olivia and Joe for ensuring absolutely everything went smoothly from first landing to our final departure from Athens. The weather was extremely hot at times and it was on occasion very windy across the islands of Syros, Tinos and Andros, but we really enjoyed varied island cultures. Would highly recommend this holiday.

We were very impressed with Olympic Holidays especially our rep Joanna. As die-hard independent Greek island holidaymakers we were using a travel agent for the first time in decades. This was because we got caught up in storm Daniel last year in Volos and realised how vulnerable we were not having a travel agent. We had a fantastic time at the wonderful Ilidi Rock hotel in Tilos with a smooth experience coming through Rhodes and on the ferries. However when arriving at our accomodation in Symi we found the aircon was broken. In a heatwave and an apartment at the top of the house this was not going to work for us. Joanna was immediately able to source another accomodation which was the lovely Taxiarchis apartments and she got us there the same morning. We had only got 2 days on Symi so this really helped us still be able to experience the island. I highly recommend Olympic and thank you again to Joanna.

Poor service in Corfu & Paxos. The rep at Corfu airport was unhelpful and had poor knowledge of English which also caused a problem. We were not contacted or greeted by a rep on arrival at Paxos & it was difficult to telephone anyone (one phone no given did not accept incoming calls!) We were told by hotel staff that there was a problem with the ferry home but no reassurance was given by Olympic staff. We have been to Paxos many times with various holiday companies & found the Olympic staff very poor compared to other companies. The staff at Paxos Club Hotel were very helpful.

Just back from Paxos and Bastas hotel. Paxos is still lovely,after first visit 40 years ago. Hotel is simple and clean. I had sheets and towels changed regularly.Lovely pool(if a bit too warm)! Lovely week away. My omnly negative comment was return ferry,which was very small ,smashed about in rough seas,and suitcases were soaked,not good.

I would give Les, our rep in Lassi, Kefalonia 6 stars if I could. When I had cause to contact him he was on the case immediately. He was kind considerate and professional. It was our golden wedding anniversary during our stay, and we were welcomed with a card and a bottle of wine. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect holiday, and we certainly did. He is an asset to the company and should be treasured!

Shelly's knowledge of the Greek islands was excellent. She put the itinerary together very quickly and emailed it straight to me. She is very professional and always returned my calls when I couldn't get through.

Thank you to Olmpic Holidays for a great holiday. Our first impression that we were with a company that cared about us came with our transfers - all drivers arrived exactly at the time stated, clearly signed with our name, and were all polite and professional. Our rep Olivia was easily contactable, with prompt replies and was extremely helpful in helping us retrieve some lost property. The hotel we stayed in overnight in Athens on our journey had a faulous view of the Acropolis, which was an added bonus. All the staff at Mare Vista were friendly and helpful, making our stay very enjoyable. Our room was simple but clean, and we were pleased the air conditioning was effective, as the weather was very hot for early June. The view from our terrace over the bay was stunning, and we could see where the hotel got its name from, although it is situated on a hill, so may not be the best choice for those with mobility issues. There is a fabulous beach five minutes walk away (Colona Beach Bar?) which we preferred to Batsi beach, uncrowded, with crystal clear water. The town of Batsi has a great range of bars and restaurants, mostly reasonable priced.

Fantastic holiday to the amazing island of Leros. All the arrangements to get there were fantastic- taxi, stop overs and boats! The journey was well worth it when we arrived at Saraya resort! The quiet, beautiful resort was amazing and the staff superb! Highly recommend!

This was my first time using Olympic holidays to travel and I wasn’t disappointed. The holiday was absolutely amazing. Everytbing was smooth sailing and help was available whenever I needed it. Our local rep Julie messaged me a numerous amount of times when we were away just checking in which I thought it as lovely. Not only that when I reached out for advice on booking excursions she was happy to help and instructed me on how to download and use the app. We will definitely be booking again with Olympic holidays as the whole holiday package was amazing. Thank you!!
