Travel Agents

Many travel arrangements in Greece are still made (and indeed better made) through travel agencies. There are countless travel agents in Greece, and as is the case anywhere, the service you get makes a difference. Some agents simply want to confirm as many bookings as possible then move on, but when you find an agent who understands that personalized attention is great for you and for future business, you'll find no more helpful professional. Greek travel agents who do the job right can take the headache out of figuring out the logistics behind your dream Greek itinerary. They know the ins and outs of the ferry systems from timetables to schedules, they can suggest which accommodations suit your style, and they can propose tours that interest you. They can often get you better prices than you can find on your own, even through popular online discounters.

If you are traveling in July and August, travel agencies can come to the rescue with preset packages for the islands you want to visit or suggest other options from archaeological sites, mountain trips, or coastal villages.
