Step by step

Five steps to set off

It only takes a few minutes: you can stop at any time and carry on later.

  1. Choose your trip and departure

    Browse the tours or the departures calendar: for every date you can see the price, the seats left and whether the departure is already guaranteed.

    Departures calendar

  2. Say who is travelling and choose your options

    Adults, children and infants, a single room if you prefer, extras and insurance. The total price updates with every choice, with no hidden costs.

  3. Enter the travellers’ details

    First and last names must match the document you will travel with. For each traveller we need the date of birth and, when the trip requires it, the passport details.

  4. Pay the deposit

    You pay a 25% deposit (minimum €200) using any of the available payment methods. With a card the booking is confirmed immediately; with other methods your seats are held for you for a limited time.

    • Credit or debit card
    • Bank transfer
    • PayPal
    • IRIS (payment from your bank)
    • At our office

  5. Receive your documents and pay the balance

    We email you the confirmation and the voucher. The balance is due 30 days before departure; shortly before you leave you receive the final instructions with the meeting point and the tour leader’s contact details.

The price

What the price includes

Every trip has its own precise list of what is and is not included: you will find it on the tour page, before you book.

Usually included

  • Scheduled flights from Athens, when the trip includes them, with airport taxes
  • Accommodation in the hotels listed in the programme, in a double room
  • The meals listed in the programme
  • A Greek-speaking tour leader for the whole trip
  • Local guides, visits and excursions included in the programme, with the entrance fees listed
  • Transfers and transport included in the itinerary
  • Support before and during the trip

Usually not included

  • Tips, drinks and personal expenses
  • Meals not listed in the programme
  • Any visas and e-visas, unless stated otherwise
  • The single room supplement
  • Optional excursions and extras
  • Prices are per person in a double room. Children aged 2 to 11 get a reduction shown on each trip; infants under 2 pay a fixed amount and do not take up a seat.
  • Anyone who prefers a single room pays the supplement shown for the departure.
  • Online you can book for up to 12 travellers at a time; for larger groups, write to us from the Groups and companies page.

Deposit and balance

When you pay and how much

A deposit is enough to hold your place; the balance is paid later. You can always see the dates in your booking summary.

At booking25% deposit

With a minimum of €200 per booking, and never more than the total.

Before departureBalance due 30 days before departure

The balance must be paid by this deadline before the departure date. We will write to remind you.

Departing soonAll at once

If departure is within 45 days, or if the total is below the minimum deposit, the full amount is paid at booking.

Example: for a €2,000 trip the deposit is €500 and the balance is €1,500, payable 30 days before departure.

How long we hold your place

Until payment is completed, seats stay reserved for a limited time; after that they become available again.
