Our Island Hopping holiday to the Cyclades

Our Island Hopping holiday to Santorini, Milos and Mykonos was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Given the number of transfers, ferries and hotels, the bulk of arrangements worked out very well thanks to Olympic.
I especially want to mention the hotel in Santorini (Panorama Suites) which although expensive was quirky and perfectly placed on the edge of the Caldera with excellent service. However the driver (Kamari tours) from the airport just dumped us on the pavement and we had to find our own way to the hotel through a pedestrian zone - not a good way to start the holiday.
The Whatsapp method of communicating with the rep (Joe) worked very well indeed.
There are one or two things I think Olympic could improve upon. Firstly, after the final payment the only communication received was the itinerary. There is a wealth of info on the website but you have to go hunting for it. It would have been nice if Olympic had sent an info pack in advance. Secondly it appears that there is often a persistent Northerly wind which blows through the Cyclades at this time of year. We were not advised of this and it did impact our stay as the sea became very rough. Thirdly one or two of the hotel descriptions were could have been better - 2 lifts and 67 steps to get to our room in Santorini and a so called "garden view room" in Milos with not a garden in sight!

Finally in case its of interest there were no EES checks at Santorini and Mykonos airports - so no delays at either.

Above and beyond

Usual excellent service from Jo, Crete Olympic rep. Met with me at Lato Hotel, Aghios Nikolaos, to make sure all was ok. As an older lady on her own I very much appreciate this. She goes above and beyond to assist in any way she can. If I could make it 6 stars I would. Same with Hotel, it's like going home.

Fulfilled our request

We approached Olympic with a list of where we wanted to stay, which airport we wanted to use etc. and they absolutely fulfilled our wishes. On our 5-week holiday, everything went smoothly - ferries, taxis and accommodation all great. We contacted them a few times and Tara and Joanna were absolutely free. They responded straight away to reassure us about our trip home. We would absolutely recommend.

A delightfully simple booking

I have just booked a 2 week holiday to the Greek island of Tilos, through Gavin. He couldn't have been more helpful or patient as it wasn't very straight forward connecting airline arrivals and ferry departures. I am very grateful to him and although I have never used Olympic Holidays before, I would certainly go to them first for any future bookings.

Fantastic Customer Service

We travelled as a group of 3 girlfriends to Skopelos and Skiathos. The Rep, Jennie, was amazing from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much trouble and she was always available to assist when we had a couple of issues with our second hotel.
Highly recommended.

Greek ferry delays

The hotel on Naxos and all the transfers went smoothly until the ferry was two hours late returning to Santorini for our flight home. Tracey at Olympic pulled out all the stops, liaising with our airline to keep the check in desk open for us and we were whisked through the airport like celebrities to our departure gate. Had the flight been on time we wouldn’t have made it. Many thanks for all your help.
