I have just returned from the Miros Studio's in Tingaki in Oct on the island of Kos. I have to say the apartments were 1st class, the service by all the staff was 2nd to none. I Would Strongly recommend this holiday destination to anyone. If there was one problem we had and that is the holiday had to end. Thanks to olympic for having such a wonderful holiday destination. Thanks also to Megan and Lisa the the reps at the resort.

I recently stayed at the Makronissos Village for the second time this summer and enjoyed every minute just as much as my first visit back in June. The hotel was faultless yet again and our rep was always there to help. If i could i'd go back again next week! Thanks for another great holiday Olympic :)

Hi there just wanted to congratulate Olympic holidays for giving us a fabulous holiday. From airport to airport the service was spot on. My husband is disabled and uses a wheelchair and the treatment he received in both airports was super. The reps on the coach transfers where also very helpful. We stayed at The Mythos Apartments in Katelios, Kefalonia and had a wonderful time. The service overall from Olympic was excellent we shall certainly be travelling with you again. Many thanks for a wonderful holiday.

Have just returned from two weeks in Paxos staying at the Bastas Complex. We have been to the Greek Islands many times as a family but this holiday beats the rest hands down. We had two adjoining apartments which were the usual basic Greek style but were roomy and cleaned every day. We even cooked in the room (fish bought fresh from the market in Gaios) which we have never been able to before with any success. The island and its sister Anti Paxos are absolutely idyllic and for anyone looking for a tranquil holiday this is the place. Swimming at Voutoumi beach on Anti Paxos is like swimming in the Bahamas.

Please could you pass on my thanks for such a great holiday to the owners of the Hotel Elvira, Stalis, Crete. We had such a great time there and were treated really well by the family who run the hotel. All 4 of us in the party enjoyed our time at the hotel and especially liked their pool and poolside snacks made with their home grown ingredients. I should also like to thank you for providing me with a lovely holiday at a great price.

Our rep was a fantastic source of help and local information and any questions or help we needed with the accommodation, the accommodation by the way was also excellent. I had heard some horror stories about Greek accommodation but the Demetra Apartments I think it was called was very good. I guess it really helps to have a local as an Olympic rep. The excursions were well organised also and everyone was welcoming and very helpful.
Thank you!

On the 5th August me and my boyfriend flew with you to Rhodes and stayed at Avra Apartments in Lindos. We were walked to our hotel from Lindos Reception by Nathan. He was very friendly and gave us some great information about the town. In fact the information he gave us was very helpful. Our hotel was in a brilliant location although I did feel that the cooking area in our room could have been a bit better equip. The maid was very accommodating and friendly. While we were at the hotel our rep was Craig and he was brilliant. He knew so much about the whole island and was able to answer any questions necessary. Thank you for providing us with a great service which enabled us to have an amazing holiday.

I have just returned from a wonderfully holiday at the Amalia Apartments in Skiathos. the complex was very satisfactory. The flight, transport and accommodation were excellent and George the Amalia owner was friendly and helpful. The only minus and it only a slight was when one of your reps told us that there was not enough time to visit the taverna at the airport when in fact we had enough time for two slow beers before we saw our plane land. We are planning another visit next year already. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

My family and I have just returned from the Mourtemeno Hotel in Sivota in Greece and have had a great time, so thank you. The rooms were simple but clean, the rep Avis was very good and approachable and my young daughter loved her, and Christos who ran the hotel in the day and evening was excellent at his job, making everyone feel welcome and at home, and became a good friend over the two weeks that we were there. The girls at the hotel who served and cleaned were also very good. Our flight with BMI was also much better than previous holiday package tour flights...good leg room, efficient service and punctual, so thanks very much once again...we will hope to book with you again next year.

We have just returned from our holiday in Corfu where we stayed at the Eleana Studios in Ag. Georgios.
We would like to say what a lovely place this was. The apartment and the grounds were immaculate and the owners are two of the nicest people you could wish to meet. It was a real pleasure to stay with them and we're sure we'll return again for another holiday.

Me and my friends have just returned from a holiday at the Makronissos Village in Ayia Napa.
I would just like to pass on my thanks to your staff at the airport and at the accommodation.
The reception staff were most friendly and efficient in there role and were a good source of advice.
Your rep at the hotel Chris is an asset to your company, a very friendly and professional rep who always took the time to see that we were ok
and enjoying and making the most out of our holiday, I think this was felt by the other guests at the accommodation also.
Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing you again next year!

Ant Hough - West Mids, August 2009 |
We just wanted to write to congratulate and thank Olympic for a wonderful holiday to Crete last month. From the moment we stepped off the plane our holiday was just quite simply 'amazing', probably one of the best ever!!
The accommodation was excellent. The owners made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Our rep (Genna) was excellent as well and the locals were extremely friendly.
It's hard to believe you are able to offer such outstanding quality for the price that we paid.
We will definitely recommend Olympic to friends and will certainly book our next holiday to Greece with yourselves (hopefully back to Crete and the Stelios Stalis Apts)!!
Efharisto poli!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to take this opportunity to tell you what a wonderful holiday we have just had, we stayed at Blue Dreams Apts, Rethymnon in Crete, the hotel was excellent, the family who run it are amazing, so helpful , willing to do what it takes to make the holiday the best it can be.
Also, i would like to say well done with you choice of staff!!!! Our olympic rep, was Rachel, she was one of the best reps i have ever met! She had a vast knowledge of the area. Overall we have had a fantastic holiday, and will definitely consider using olympic again, please pass on our compliments to Rachel, as i'm sure she'd like to know that we valued her on our holiday.
Blue Dreams deserves to be a 5* accommodation as we had a 5* holiday.
once again, many thanks. |

Having recently returned from my holiday in Parga, Greece, I thought I would comment on the flight with BMI. I have flown to Greece for many years now and it was an unusual pleasure to travel with a proper airline with professional staff. The leg room was not generous but was adequate, the aircraft was clean and tidy and the meal was edible. Most importantly I was not harangued to buy expensive perfume or ridiculous scratch cards. The airline is now an important consideration when I choose a package holiday and I recommend your partner with BMI more often. |
Steve Sexton, July 2009 |
We have just returned from our holiday to Paxos and stayed at the Bastas Hotel. ( Our 5th visit to the Island ). I just wanted you to know that we had the most brilliant time, and the whole holiday was perfect from start to finish. The flights & transfers were excellent and the resort Representative Tracy was absolutely brilliant. Her friendliness and professionalism and knowledge of the island was outstanding. The Bastas family were wonderful too. Thank you once again for a fabulous 2 week break…I would highly recommend your company for future holidays. |
Clare Doorey - Wigan, July 2009 |
I am writing with reference to the above having just returned from Skala yesterday. With regards to the holiday itself, I cannot ever recollect in nearly thirty year’s travelling around Europe such an enjoyable, well organised holiday. The flight with BMI was our first experience of this airline and was faultless. Not only this, the quality of the aircraft and the airline staff were amazing. In conclusion, thank you again for providing such a wonderful holiday, Olympic really do take some beating when it comes to holidaying in Greece! |
Barry Cashin - St Albans, July 2009 |
| Dear Olympic Holidays, We booked a holiday to Alonissos for a week. It is the 1st time we have used your company. I feel I had to let you know how impressed we are with the organisation and accommodation. We had a wonderful time and will not hesitate to use Olympic again. Many thanks. |
Sue and John Atkin, June 2009 |
| We felt the need to give some feedback from our holiday last week, we stayed at the Macronissos Village in Cyprus, the complex was wonderful and had everything we needed and we couldn't have asked for more from our rep Chris Howe, who gave us all the help and information needed as well as being both fun and responsible on the Ayia Napa Olympic Bar Crawl on which he was constantly keeping an eye out for us. Thank you for a great holiday. |
Hannah Cross, June 2009 |
| We have just returned from the Rhodes Amathus Hotel which you kindly booked for us through Olympic Holidays. Being Airline staff it is many years since we have travelled on a package holiday. Your Reps in Rhodes were excellent, the Olympic gold package was well worth the cost, and the Hotel was wonderful. We also had a beautiful sea view room. It was a "no hassle" holiday, and we will certainly use Olympic Holidays again and also recommend you to others. Thank you again. |
Jenny and Jim Peacock, June 2009 |
| Just wanted to say thank you for a fantastic week on Zante staying at the Captain's Hotel. It was excellent value for money and everything was arranged perfectly, we had a brilliant time. I will definitely book with you again. Hopefully in the not too distant future. Thanks Again. |
Guy Costin, June 2009 |
| We recently had a holiday through your company and went to Kos in Greece, staying at the Miros Apartments in Tingaki. We would like to let you know how pleased we were firstly with your company and how smoothly everything went, secondly with the accommodation, it was perfect, and thirdly we would like to make it known the excellent service Lisa Williams our holiday rep, gave us. Not only was she knowledgeable about the island but she was very friendly and always had a smile on her face. We would be grateful if you could thank her on our behalf for making the holiday brilliant. |
Rachel and Robin Edwards, June 2009 |
| We arrived home on sunday 7th June 09 to good old english rain!! oh to be back at the Platomare, we would not stay in any other hotel in Cyprus. This is definitely a home from home, the family and staff make you feel very welcome.We booked four rooms this time, sheets and towels changed on average every other day, bins emptied daily, pool cleaned every morning. Florin comes out while your at the pool to serve you drinks. While there this time, my partner and i married at paralimni town hall. It was everything we wanted it to be. Thank you to Nikki,the wedding rep and a special thank you to Adele, the hotel rep, she advised us on trips, restaurants, supermarkets,pretty much anything we asked she advised us on,if she didn't know,she had found out by the next day! Excellent holiday Thank you to all involved. |
Collete and Geoff - Worcestershire, June 2009 |
| My partner and I have just returned home from Cyprus staying at the Macronissos holiday village. What a fantastic time we had there. Chris our rep was spot on. We wanted anything he sorted it for us. He got us VIP tickets for the waterworld water park, was very kind a up front, all round nice guy. The entertainment team were great as well. So much energy in them and again so friendly. I know you may get complaints but thought I would drop you a line to say what a great time we both had. If you could pass this onto chris (rep) and also the one stop entertainment team that would be much appreciated. |
Liam Paddison, May 2009 |
| We are unfortunately back from Cyprus, I think we could have stayed forever! I wanted to email you to tell you that we had the most fantastic time! Everything, the holiday, hotel and wedding were absolutely perfect - thank you so much for all of your organising and making sure that everything was set up for us. I also wanted to say that our Olympic Wedding Coordinator in Cyprus - Joanna was an absolute angel. She did everything in her power to make sure that we were aware of everything that was going to happen and to make sure that the entire day ran smoothly - she was absolutely fantastic and we owe her a lot of thanks as she made sure our wedding day was perfect!! |
Sam Foote, May 2009 |
| We have just arrived back from our first holiday in greece [crete mirabello apartments agia marina] and have thoroughly enjoyed it with special thanks to our rep sharon smith who was very helpful and informative.hope to see her again on another holiday |
Dennis & Carole Pattinson, May 2009 |
| I searched a lot of holiday company websites while looking for our holiday this year. Yours was the only one I used that was clear about the prices you offered for a holiday for two people. There were numerous other company's who I felt were not clear about the price of their holidays until you pressed the button to actually book it. Your website was easy to use, clear about the prices and offered good information. Thank you for making the booking a lot easier. We will use you again. Many thanks. |
Clare Fisher - Gloucester, May 2009 |
| We arrived safely back into the UK following what can only be described as an Unbelievable Wedding day and Stay at the Apollonia. I just wanted to pass on our sincerest thanks for the care and attention we were given on the days leading up to, on, and beyond our wedding day on 7 May. Olympic Holidays did an amazing job for us on the day and we were overwhelmed by the support that we were given on the day by Lena our wedding coordinator. Between you, you made sure that our day was a perfect one and the assistance with the flowers and all the finer details, the help at the town hall and court house and afterwards with the photos was beyond our expectations. Our guests also commented on how well organised everything was. We were thrilled to have Lena as our Wedding Coordinator and so I would appreciate it if you could pass on our heartfelt thanks to her. We chose Olympic as the brochure assured us that we would be in good hands and we were relieved that it proved to be more than the case. We will undoubtedly travel with Olympic again as our first choice tour operator. You did us proud. Thanks so, so much. |
Paul & Ronnie Hunt, May 2009 |
| We have just returned from an excellent holiday that we booked with yourselves in which we stayed at Macronissos Village. Chris Howe our rep was excellent, he was always to hand and answered any questions that we had. We had a brilliant holiday and we thank you for all your services and hope to book with you again in the future. Many Thanks for making our holiday so enjoyable. |
Nicole de Garis and Sophie Ferbrache, May 2009 |
| I stayed at the Platomare Hotel in Cyprus, we were a party of 7. The rep, Gemma, was great; she was there when we needed her (at the airport we had a baggage problem) and she sorted things out. The apartments, we had 4 in total; were clean and spacious. The hotel staff were very helpful and cheerful whatever time of day; the pool was cleaned everyday, we were pleased with the quality of the breakfast and the choice available at no extra cost. The one downside was it rained on a couple of occasions but i can't blame Olympic for that one! |
Doreen Hayhurst - London, April 2009 |
| Just a quick e-mail to say many thanks to you and all your staff behind the scenes for making our wedding day special and so personal, a good time was had by one and all. The venue at Peyia town hall is beautiful as was the wedding service, both Scott and I are extremely grateful to you for your patience and understanding throughout the organisation of our special day. We have visited Cyprus many times but this was exceptional so much so that we are strongly considering returning in November 2009. If you have any recommendations for this i.e. package offers, flights etc please kindly let us know. |
Jill and Scott, March 2009 |
| I would like to thank Olympic for a great holiday, and would like to thank once again our rep at our stay in Gambia, she was so helpful when there was an issue with over bookings at the hotel. She sorted things out and got us into the hotel we wanted the Sunset Beach Kotu as soon as a spare room became available. We were adequately compensated by Olympic and everything was dealt with professionally. I will be traveling with Olympic again! Once again thank you. |
