Liars

I booked my first olympic holiday through Tui as i know the staff in there very well having had many holidays with them over the years. The night before my departure i had Tui ring me to tell me Olympic have now said there is no room for me at the hotel booked, i had tried to elongate the holiday three weeks previous and at that point no problem, and now Olympic do not even ring themselves to say, get tui to.
This caused multiple problems but after many topping and frowing with tui as the middle person we were told you either accept the new place ( not where i wanted to be) or lose all my money. I did ask for a full refund and would’ve immediately booked with Tui however Olympic informed Tui i wasn’t entitled to a refund.
As it turns out in there own terms and conditions i was fully entitled to one but the olympic staff chose to lie about this. Poor communications at least. I’m now trying to get home dropped at the airport 6 hours before departure 3 hours before check in. Very well done

In response to your reply , your minimal amount of compensation was you’re standard in this situation, and you did not recognise or understand anything you learnt about the trip and the huge impact it had on the holiday, the bookings that had been made that had to be cancelled or offer anything after learning this , you were also offered another chance to make amends at the second property and again did not listen or make any attempt at all to help.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry for the disappointment and frustration caused by the late change to your accommodation, particularly given that this was communicated so close to your departure.

Whilst we were able to secure an alternative hotel of the same official standard, with the same suite category and in the same resort, we fully appreciate that this was not the hotel you had originally chosen. We completely understand why this affected your confidence in your holiday before it had even begun.

We recognised the impact this last-minute change had on your experience and, in addition to upgrading your transfers, offered a goodwill payment as an acknowledgement of the inconvenience caused.

We are sorry that your overall impression of Olympic Holidays has been such a negative one. Your feedback has been taken seriously and has been shared internally as we continue to review our booking processes to help prevent situations like this from occurring in future.

Best wishes,
Ollie

From the time I got through the airport…island hopping

From the time I got through the airport to the time I was dropped off back at the airport three weeks later everything went exceptionally well, always someone waiting to greet me and show me to my transfer. All the ferry journeys around the islands where well planned and made my travels simple and uncomplicated.
All barring one of the hotels was everything I had hoped for, unfortunately the last one was disappointing.
Overall a truly wonderful escape.

Don't book anywhere else.

Just returned from yet another brilliant holiday at the Zante Star hotel, 7 years we've been going now, but other friends have been going for 20years , great staff also just a nice distance from town, why go anywhere else ? The Olympic rep Neil was a regular visitor and was happy to tell you how to avoid the heat 🥵 of the day and also giving you updates of what there is to do in Tsivili. Don't be slow to book as places are going fast.

The resort was excellent

The resort was excellent. Very clean and tidy.Staff especially the waiters, bar staff and pool staff very efficient and friendly. Cleaning staff good as well as reception.
Pool very nice but quite shallow.
No shuttle bus into Zante town so a bit of a walk but ok.
Excellent service from Neil Fawcett who explained about the island and car hire etc and great follow up on arrival and collection.

First time booking with Olympic Holidays and would definitely book with them again. A very supportive customer service team, who helped me with my queries following my booking and Joanne was a great in-resort help when I misplaced my passport. She worked hard to ensure I got it back safely. Thanks for all the support and a great holiday.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We’ve just returned from an amazing island-hopping holiday to Naxos with Olympic Holidays, and I can’t recommend them enough. We were a little unsure what to expect with travelling between different islands and staying in different locations, but everything was so well organised from start to finish.

All of our ferry connections, transfers and flights lined up perfectly, and everything ran like clockwork. It really took the stress out of travelling, allowing us to relax and enjoy our holiday.

The customer service was excellent too. We always felt looked after, with someone on hand to help whenever we needed it. Having UK-based support made a big difference and gave us real peace of mind.

A fantastic holiday company that genuinely cares about its customers. We had a fabulous time and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Olympic Holidays again!

Our Island Hopping holiday to the Cyclades

Our Island Hopping holiday to Santorini, Milos and Mykonos was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Given the number of transfers, ferries and hotels, the bulk of arrangements worked out very well thanks to Olympic.
I especially want to mention the hotel in Santorini (Panorama Suites) which although expensive was quirky and perfectly placed on the edge of the Caldera with excellent service. However the driver (Kamari tours) from the airport just dumped us on the pavement and we had to find our own way to the hotel through a pedestrian zone - not a good way to start the holiday.
The Whatsapp method of communicating with the rep (Joe) worked very well indeed.
There are one or two things I think Olympic could improve upon. Firstly, after the final payment the only communication received was the itinerary. There is a wealth of info on the website but you have to go hunting for it. It would have been nice if Olympic had sent an info pack in advance. Secondly it appears that there is often a persistent Northerly wind which blows through the Cyclades at this time of year. We were not advised of this and it did impact our stay as the sea became very rough. Thirdly one or two of the hotel descriptions were could have been better - 2 lifts and 67 steps to get to our room in Santorini and a so called "garden view room" in Milos with not a garden in sight!

Finally in case its of interest there were no EES checks at Santorini and Mykonos airports - so no delays at either.

Above and beyond

Usual excellent service from Jo, Crete Olympic rep. Met with me at Lato Hotel, Aghios Nikolaos, to make sure all was ok. As an older lady on her own I very much appreciate this. She goes above and beyond to assist in any way she can. If I could make it 6 stars I would. Same with Hotel, it's like going home.

Fulfilled our request

We approached Olympic with a list of where we wanted to stay, which airport we wanted to use etc. and they absolutely fulfilled our wishes. On our 5-week holiday, everything went smoothly - ferries, taxis and accommodation all great. We contacted them a few times and Tara and Joanna were absolutely free. They responded straight away to reassure us about our trip home. We would absolutely recommend.

A delightfully simple booking

I have just booked a 2 week holiday to the Greek island of Tilos, through Gavin. He couldn't have been more helpful or patient as it wasn't very straight forward connecting airline arrivals and ferry departures. I am very grateful to him and although I have never used Olympic Holidays before, I would certainly go to them first for any future bookings.
