I just want to take a moment to thank Petros from Hellenic Holidays, Inc. for making our Honeymoon perfect and magical. They went above and beyond I have to say. Petros broke down each island we were going to with restaurant recommendations, and I must say the restaurants and food was amazing. They set up a walking tour in Athens of the Acropolis that was awesome and full of beautiful views and much information from ancient times, also a private sailing tour in Santorini by Captain Ted’s sailing. This was one of my favorite excursions we did. We sailed around to 3 different beaches, the hot springs but the volcano, and was made a delicious Greek cuisine lunch out at sea on the boat and can’t forget about the awesome crew, also the wine tour we had in Santorini that took us to 3 different wineries for tastings and pairings with food. Hellenic Holidays I will recommend to anyone who is looking to go to Greece. They know all the best spots and best activities to do in each island. We most defiantly will be going back to Greece and will use Petros and his team again that’s for sure. Thank you once again for an amazing trip and a lifetime of memories!

We had an incredible honeymoon in Greece, and Petros is largely to thank! He set us up with the right amount of time in each place (Athens + 2 islands) and our hotels were incredible! It was the trip of a lifetime! In addition to the hotels, he helped set us up with guides and transfers that made the trip easy and meaningful. Everyone spoke English, was super friendly, helpful and accommodating! He was quick with responses and easy to communicate with- we always felt taken care of. Because this company only books trips to Greece, the recommendations for restaurants and activities felt authentic and delightful. 10/10, would recommend. I hope one day we can book with him again- I can’t wait to go back!

I wanted to say thank you for the vacation you planned for us. We had an amazing trip, beautiful hotels, timely transfers, amazing sunset catamaran cruise and way too many delicious meals and wines. As beautiful as Santorini is and we loved it, Naxos stole our hearts. Such a beautiful island, beautiful beaches and overall relaxing vibe. I wish we could have stayed longer. Hopefully another time!

Darnail and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip. We especially loved Chania and just Crete in general. Santorini was beautiful but the heat/steep climbs combination was just a killer so we didn’t do much there. Will return in cooler weather to take it all in. We also enjoyed Athens and the history. Having the Guides for the planned excursions made everything so much more interesting and enjoyable. We had great Guides and Drivers. Your approach to this hands free vacation is a big plus; not having to think about checking-in; looking for transport and standing online for tickets was so appreciated. I cannot offer any suggestions for making it better because it was the best. Greece is beautiful! Darnail and I will definitely see more of Greece and I will certainly refer you to anyone seeking the experience Darnail and I had. Thank you for a very memorable experience.

Hi Petros! Sorry for the delayed response, still digging out from our AMAZING trip! it was wonderful. You absolutely listened to exactly what we wanted and made it happen. We loved Naxos (THE FOOD!!) and just the right time in Santorini- Homeric was such a cool place to stay! Thank you so much for everything. I want to go back!!! 🙂

I just wanted to take a moment to reach out and personally thank you so much, for creating just a memorable vacation/experience for my daughter and I in beautiful Greece. The detailed playbook in which I referred to as our bible while on vacation was spot on from the pick up times for our transfers to your restaurant recommendations or sights to explore. I am looking forward to our next Grecian adventure with your assistance.

The trip was so much fun, definitely having Greece withdrawal haha! We were very impressed with everything, to be totally honest. The hotels we stayed at were outstanding and each had their own unique vibe. Mykonos was definitely 5 star, the service was unmatched. Naxos was our personal favorite, the hotel staff was very personal and it was so quiet and relaxed. Santorini, Astra Suites was the most beautiful out of all 3, the scenery was out of this world and location was great. The stress-free aspect to everything was the best part. We didn’t have to worry about transfers, ferries, airport rides, etc. It was all so easy to navigate and having you as a lifeline to contact if need be really made us comfortable. We are already planning a trip back to some of the other islands. Trip of a lifetime, thank you for everything!

Hellenic Holidays is the go to travel agent for Greece travels. Petros was amazing to talk with and his vast knowledge of all the beautiful islands and really just all things Greece helped us pick our dream honeymoon. Petros gives suggestions on activities, restaurants and must see locations. He was always there when we needed him for last minute questions or changes and we couldn’t be more grateful to Petros for making our dream honeymoon a reality. If you want the best possible experience you must use Petros and his team at Hellenic.

Everything was perfect! Didn’t have a chance to go through withdrawal, came back had to get kids off to college and then headed to Florida for 2 weeks lol. But I did just finish making my photo book of the trip so I got to relive the trip all over again. I don’t think anything needed to be changed. The hotels were perfect. Naxos hotel was amazing! I never relaxed so much in my life – usually my vacations are booked from morning to night. This trip was very relaxing. Tours were great. We booked an additional one in Santorini and had a private driver take us everywhere so we got to see everything in 1 day. Imerovigli was perfect. Thanks for everything – I would definitely recommend you to other people. We met a couple (Karen and Bob from NJ) in our hotel who used you as well. Thanks for everything!

Thank you for checking in as you are on our list to reach out to as well. We are still reveling in the many memories and fantastic experiences we had in Greece. The whole package that you put together exceeded our expectations. It is hard to know when you take a trip like this what to expect and how everything will play out, but you put together an amazing itinerary that we will remember for a very long time. If we had to do it all over again, we would not change a thing. We are so grateful. Everything from the local guides, restaurant recommendations, hotel properties, the amount of time spent in each place, the private transportation, order of the trip, variety of the activities and overall communication were excellent. We feel that there was great value in what the trip cost and what we received.

I was just about to email you. We absolutely LOVED this trip! Everything about it! You selected some excellent hotels (we were especially fond of Domes Noruz and Astra Suites), and the pacing of the vacation was perfect. We enjoyed the blend of full-day activities and rest days. We are so, so delighted to have booked through you, because your insider knowledge proved crucial on several points. The view of the Caldera was unforgettable, as were the beaches on Mykonos. The food was delicious, and the people were very warm and inviting. This was truly an unforgettable trip. We spent the ride back on the plane talking about which islands to do next.

We could not be happier with our experience with Hellenic Holidays! We were very overwhelmed with the wedding planning and kept putting off planning our honeymoon so when we found Petros, we were only a few months away from our anticipated dates. Somehow, in a short timeframe, he pulled off the honeymoon of our dreams! We visited Athens, Mykonos, Naxos and Santorini! My husband and I joked that we simply had to show up in Greece and we felt like we were taken care of the rest of the way. Our pick ups and drop offs (transfers) to airports/hotels/ferries were all pre-arranged by Petros so someone was waiting for us wherever we went, which was so helpful. He booked our walking tour of Athens as well as an amazing Santorini sunset cruise to enjoy during our time in Greece. Another huge bonus, which I believe is very unique to Hellenic, is the playbook that he constructed. He had everyday mapped out with either our pre-planned excursions, or suggestions for other things we could book on our own (many of which we did!) He had ideas of what to do and see all over each island as well as excellent recommendations for restaurants, dessert, wine bars and more. This was a very detailed document that truly helped us see and do as much as possible and know what to expect on each island. And did I mention the hotels were phenomenal? Everything was absolutely stunning! I cannot tell you how grateful we are that we used Hellenic Holidays for our honeymoon and I would recommend to anyone that is planning! You will NOT be disappointed!
