"George", I said to my friend and travel agent George Gerassimides of Fantasy Travel in Athens. "Can you create a package for the economy-minded traveler which will be as cheap as they can ever hope to find on a cut-rate-fly-by-night-discount-travel site, but which will provide the same level of service as the more expensive packages? If they are in a C-catagory hotel I want it to be the best centrally located C-catagory hotel like the Attalos or the Adonis and not off in some forbidden corner of Athens like on those discount travel sites. I want them to have transfers from the airport to their Athens hotels and I want them to be met at the ferry by the hotel representatives on the islands and taken back to the ferry when they leave. In other words I want them to not have a thing to worry about, with everything working like clockwork at a cost that someone would pay if they were staying in cheap hotels and pensions and using public transportation and getting lost and frustrated. Can you do it?" And as George often replies "Of course. And I will also include ferry boat tickets and a full day tour of Delphi or a Cruise to the Saronic Islands, and daily breakfast." Athens-Mykonos-Santorini: 9 Nights/10 Days from 640 euros And check out these as well.... Mainland Package 8 Days /7 Nights in Athens, Delphi, Olympia and Meteora from 655 euros Island Hopping: 7 Days / 6 Nights in Paros and Naxos from: 405€ |

Skala Eressos, Lesvos: If you want to go to a beach, more beautiful than you will find on Mykonos or Santorini, where you can still find rooms for 25 to 35 euros for a double, with a very cool town full of cafes, fish-tavernas, restaurants that serve all kinds of international food, and a rich alternative-culture with shiatsu, yoga, tai-chi, and plenty of nightlife visit www.lesvos.com/erressos.html |
| The Island of Kos used to be one of the most popular in Greece before hard times hit the travel industry. It still has some of the most beautiful hotels, right on the beach only now it's a bargain. You can stay in a 5-star hotel on the sea for what you will pay for a 2-star hotel in Santorini and Mykonos. A 2-star hotel will cost you as low as 40 euros for a double in August!
