Elafonisi - Our driver Stelios was very nice and friendly! We were picked up on time and enjoyed the amazing Elafonisi beach. He explained life on the island and answered all of our questions . He was flexible with our times of day and we also were able to fit in a quick visit to the lovely Town of Chania.

Amazing Experience in Greece. - The tour was a complete success. From the pickup at Athens airport and transfer to our very nice hotels located very near to all the attractions in Athens, transfers to Mykonos, to Santorini, to Crete then to Heraklion then to Chania. Views were all amazing. Schedules were on time. Fantasy Travel did a very good job.

Amazing experience in Greece. - The tour were amazing from the moment we landed in Athens then going to Mykonos, then Santorini, then Heraklion and Chania in Crete it’s an experience of a lifetime. The private cruise along the caldera in Santorini was the highlight. Fantasy travel did a very good in coordinating our hotel transfers and island hopping and flight back from Crete to Athens.

The perfect trip to Greece! - We used Fantasy Travel to plan our entire itinerary to Greece. After answering a few questions, Nikos planned and booked the most amazing week trip for us to Athens, Naxos and Santorini. Each hotel, transfers and private tours were absolutely wonderful. In Naxos, the walking/hiking tour as well as the cultural tours were magnificent. In Santorini, the sunset catamaran cruise is a must. Everything from when we arrived to when we left was perfect and we felt spoiled the entire trip. Will definitely use Fantasy Travel again and strongly recommend them.

We Loved Our Trip! - We didn’t want to visit Greece via a cruise. We wanted a vacation that included places that we wanted to visit with transportation and hotels. Vicky at Fantasy fit the bill. She tailored our two week vacation to our requests and it was fabulous. Being in a place where strikes, fires and floods can take place, we had the security of knowing that Vicky and her team were always available for “plan B”. Luckily we never had to go there. We started in Athens with a wonderful guide, Theodora, who shared her expertise on the Acropolis. All our tours were great especially Eva with her tour of the Palace of Knossos in Crete. We visited Chania, Hereklion in Crete, Santorini, Naxos and Mykonos and the transfers were seamless. A catamaran sunset cruise around Santorini was a highlight. All our hotels were fine but if anyone in your party has mobility issues, the steps to our hotel in Santorini can be rough. I highly recommend Vicky at Fantasy travel. P.S. Rosanna who met us when our plane landed was terrific in making us feel welcome and helped going through our trip specifics.

Bucket list item did not disappoint! - Working with Fantasy Travel, and specifically Vicky Asloglou, was an incredible experience. It was recommended that we use a Greek travel agency to help plan our trip, as they are better to troubleshoot should any glitches occur while traveling in their country. She and Fantasy, did not disappoint. Everything, from helping to select amazing hotels in Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini, all complete with breakfast, transfers to/from our flights, ferry, tours including a private walking tour with guide, Yota to the Parthenon and in/around Athens, highlight private sailboating tour with Volcano cruises, and a walking tour of Santorini with a competent and knowledgeable guide, to coordinating with Bellonis travel on Santorini, and finally providing Fernando to meet as at the Athens airport to get us to the appropriate line for our flight home. We can't thank Vicky and her team enough. We highly recommend our family and friends to use their services. You will experience a stress free vacation and take home incredible memories.

50 year golden adventure - Our whole experience with Fantasy Travel was amazing. From our first landing in Athens and greeted with a smiling welcome from their representative. We spent about 5 days in the Athens area touring the Delfi and Meteora areas which were breathtaking. Off to our first island of Paros,then Milos and then Santorini, staying 3-4 days on each island. Each one had its own unique charm and stimulating views. Our accommodations were extremely unique in their locations and their views. Milos was my personal favourite. We were celebrating our 50 th wedding anniversary and I commend Fantasy Travel and Angeliki for making it so special. Every transfer, ferry and flight back to Athens was without any delays or issues. We booked this trip with them from our home in Canada and highly recommend them to all. They are a family business that been going for over 40 years. Can’t wait for some more Greek adventures, Dave and Marian Davidson.

Fantastic Trip May 14-June 4th 3 week dream come true! - We just ended a 3 week tour of the Greek Isles including Athens. We used Fantasy Travel. We worked with Makis Hatzopoulos from their incoming department. With his advise we set up stops in Athens, Sifnos, Santorini, Naxos and Milos. We would give our whole trip a 5 star review and we would give our travel specialist a 5 star review. Makis asked us what we were looking for and we gave him our ideas and he gave us back a perfect itinerary for our trip. Not only did he give us the suggestions of the Island he also gave us places to visit and see while we were visiting the Islands. We had a wonderful experience and he also set us up a private tour of Athens with Daphne as our guide and Dimitrius as our driver. They were remarkable and knowledgeable. Makis made sure we had all our paperwork in order regarding airport transportation back and forth. Also, Makis took care of hotels, hotel transportation and ferry tickets to get us to the islands. Makis suggested some hotels based on our budget and every hotel had a water view. In Athens we had the Acropolis view. Makis set up the Santorini Sunset Cruise which no one should miss, it was spectacular. It was a perfect Holiday and our thank goes to Makis for assisting setting this memorable vacation!

Amazing beach. - Our family of 7 enjoyed this tour. It was a last minute add, which was just a private bus to get from the cruise ship to the beach. We left the terminal at 8am, and stopped at a Saint Sofia Cave from 9am to about 940. The cave is a good hike up but was worth it. The small pastry/drink shop about halfway up had delicious food and they were very friendly. The beach was about another 50 min from the cave, going over two mountain peaks. This drive is not for anyone who gets car sick, or who is afraid of heights. Much of the road is only 1.5 cars wide and in some places there is no barrier or guard rail. Our driver was timely, but on the way really wanted to pass a tour bus, for no real reason. This resulted in a lot of acceleration and braking, with some jerking of the wheel. Our daughter ended up getting car sick, and my nephew nearly did as well. We got the beach around 1030 or so. It is about a 1/2 mile walk from the parking lot to the beach. The water is absolutely amazing. We stayed at the beach until 230pm to give us ample time (est. at 2 hours) to get back to the ship. They sell two loungers with an umbrella for 20 euro. We took towels from the ship, which was good, because we walked through a shallow area/pool to another area of the beach, which was a better waterfront area and much less crowded. The beach was very crowded. There is a cantina that had plenty of food and drinks, and the prices were reasonable.
