Mykonos & Santorini from Athens

I would not recommend it.

1. The transfers and transportation were always excellent and on time. Clean cars and very friendly and attentive drivers. 2. Ferry: the scheduled services were not fast ferry, as indicated on my voucher. On my return from Santorini to Athens, it took me 7 hrs to arrive. Having options in 4hrs (fast ferry) and 1 hr (plane). The same thing happened on my transfer from Athens to Mykonos, where it took me 4hrs when there were options of 2.5hrs. 3. Hotels: -Mykonos hotel was good, comfortable, and quite well located. Although it was not on the beach, it was easy to access. -Santorini hotel, the hotel was located 10-15 minutes walking to the beach, on a lonely and dark route at night. Additionally, judging by the facilities, it seemed more like a hostel. The room was very basic, a bit old, and there were items that looked old (chairs, rusty bathtub, etc.). The breakfast was not good either, very basic and of low quality. The restaurant closed at 6pm, so one day I couldn't even have dinner, and honestly, I felt unsafe walking in that area alone at night. I checked the prices of hotels facing the sea and there were options between 130-170 euros per night. It didn't seem expensive to me at all. And when reporting my dissatisfaction to the agency, they simply said that nothing could be done. Conclusion, I would not recommend this agency since the issue with the hotel in Santorini and ferries caused me a lot of stress and wasted time. The idea of hiring expert personnel is to look for the best options and/or offer alternatives to travel in a comfortable, safe, and satisfactory way. They should review their providers and/or personnel in charge so that they really offer convenient options to travelers. Losing 8hrs on a trip of this category is unacceptable. Price paid: 1,400 euros for 4 nights, transfers to the port and ferries (no tour was included)

Response from the operator: Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de compartir sus comentarios detallados. Sin embargo, permítanos hacer algunas aclaraciones. Los ferries incluidos en su reserva fueron Champion Jet 2 y EuroChampion Jet 2, ambos catamaranes de alta velocidad operados por Seajets. El paquete incluía los servicios de ferry específicos indicados en la documentación de su reserva. También existen opciones de transporte alternativas, como vuelos, para las rutas Atenas–Mykonos y Santorini–Atenas, que podrían sustituir fácilmente al transporte en ferry si los viajeros así lo solicitaran. En cuanto al alojamiento en Santorini, el paquete incluye hoteles preseleccionados, que se muestran claramente antes de efectuar la reserva. Hotel Mohitero, en Kamari, era el hotel preseleccionado incluido en el paquete. No obstante, Greca ofrece a los viajeros la posibilidad de elegir sus propios hoteles de acuerdo con sus preferencias personales, incluyendo ubicación, categoría, instalaciones y otras características. La elección del hotel es, en última instancia, una decisión personal. En su caso, aunque antes de efectuar la reserva estaba disponible la posibilidad de elegir otro establecimiento, usted optó por el hotel preseleccionado para su viaje. El precio de €1.400 del paquete cubría el conjunto de los servicios del viaje, incluyendo dos noches de alojamiento con desayuno en Mykonos, dos noches de alojamiento con desayuno en Santorini, tres trayectos en ferry de alta velocidad conectando Atenas, Mykonos y Santorini, los múltiples traslados de ida y vuelta entre los hoteles y puertos correspondientes a lo largo del itinerario, y el Seguro de Salud y Cancelación. Saludos cordiales, Greca Travel

Greece islands with family

The coordination of the tours, transfers and hotel accommodations were excellent. Every time I tried to contact them for a question, they replay within minutes. Everyone that helps us with the planning and along the way was very friendly and attentive.

Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind words! Feedback like yours is a great motivation for our entire team. Hope to see you soon on another travel adventure with Greca!

Very good agency, very attentive and complied with everything agreed. The only negative comment is that the Mykonos hotel was away from everything, very nice hotel, but the location is terrible. Otherwise, everything ok

Disappointed with Greca Tours

The Greca tours makes sure they get the money for the Greece tour. Once you are there they deal with many oher operatros, transfers company, tours agencies, so you cannot deal with Greca. the hotel in Mikonos was deserted and in the middle of nowhere. I ended up changing and paying again for another hotel in downtonw of the same category. It is almost impossible to reach them once in Greece. Then, once they reply the phone they say I am not Greca tours.Not happy at all.No communications. I must say the hotel was beacutiful but in a deserted area. I have contacted them and got another email. Waiting

Response from the operator: Dear Isabella, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’d like to clarify that Greca Travel is a Greece-based agency with headquarters in Athens. To deliver a seamless travel experience, we work hand in hand with a trusted network of local partners across the country. In regard to your stay in Mykonos, the Melisses Hotel was offered as a complimentary 5-star upgrade, selected for its quality and peaceful location—an aspect many of our travelers appreciate as part of the island experience. That said, we fully respected your preference for a more central hotel, and to ensure your comfort, we covered the cost of the change and reimbursed you for your new accommodation. Beyond that, we arranged three complimentary round-trip transfers during your stay and provided you with the direct contact of the local driver to assist with any additional transportation needs at preferred rates. We appreciate your comments, as they help us improve our services. We hope that despite these inconveniences, your trip to Greece included moments of joy and discovery, and we’d be happy to assist you again in the future. Thanks, Greca Travel

Worst trip of our lives

We had looked forward to visit Santorini but the ferry canceled. As a result, we were forced to pay an additional €574 in hotel expenses plus new ferry tickets. Viator failed to take any responsibility and always blames its subcontractors which are equally useless. In the future if you’re interested in the Greek islands, please consider taking a cruise ship instead.
