Greece and Turkey Travel Agents & Reviews

I cannot say enough about Nikos and his team, Anna and Maria. From the moment I first spoke to Nikos, I knew I would be in good hands. Mike and I had used Zicasso in 2019 for a trip to Italy, so going through Zicasso to plan my 50th birthday in Greece was a no-brainer. Zicasso hooked me up with two different Greek travel companies, both of which quickly sent me some initial travel itineraries. After reviewing them, we decided this travel company fit our personalities just a little bit better.

Nikos was always available, answered all of our questions, and in the end, planned a trip of a lifetime with amazing experiences. I kept telling him and his team that we could never thank them enough for this trip. Anna and Nikos were always quick to answer any questions about timing, rides, tours, and suggestions. They even had us on a WhatsApp group. What I love about Zicasso and this travel agency is that it’s effortless. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. All the transfers, all the hotels, all the tours - everything was planned and organized. It’s a dream.

I cannot speak highly enough about this travel company. Not one single thing was missed. Every taxi, tour, etc, was on time. The personnel were all professional, very nice, and knowledgeable. The hotels were perfect. There was always someone available to answer any questions we had and they would contact us immediately.

I would highly recommend Zicasso and this travel company. Additionally, Eleni was an absolute pleasure to work with and made me feel very comfortable, especially as I was working with an unknown group. My thanks to everyone.

My family and I enjoyed every moment of this thoughtfully planned trip to Greece. Based on our emails and conversations prior to the trip, our travel agent tailored a perfect luxury itinerary, with the very best hotels in the most amazing locations, transportation via ferry and airplane between locations as well as private drivers each step of the way. There were a lot of moving pieces in this trip, as we wanted to spend a little time visiting with family, seeing the sights and relaxing on the islands. Our travel agent scheduled the most expedient travel between destinations, in order to make the most of our time in Greece. She was so attentive, messaging and calling to check in throughout our trip, and offering spot-on suggestions of where to eat, etc. The day we arrived in Athens, our lovely travel agent met us at the hotel with our ferry tickets and when we told her we were meeting a cousin for an impromptu dinner (which we had not planned in advance with her) she drove us to the location herself! How nice is that? She truly felt like a dear friend. We stayed in Athens, Hydra, Thessaloniki and Milos for this trip, always at the most spectacular and well located properties with impeccable and friendly service. All travel between destinations, as well as private drivers to and from our hotels, were pre-arranged by the travel agent. We didn't have to worry about anything, just followed along each day with the detailed agenda that she had provided for us in advance of our trip. It was truly a great experience from start to finish and we couldn't be more pleased. 

We worked with Bülent to plan a fabulous trip to Turkey and Greece. The first time we spoke, Bülent assured us he'd be in our back pocket the entire trip. He said he'd return our texts within two minutes, any time of day. Of course, I was skeptical and shocked that he actually did. We had a seven-hour time difference while working on the plans, but no matter when we sent a message, he responded immediately. I had to tell him to "go to bed!" one night when my text reached him at 3am and he replied to it.

Bülent was there for us via WhatsApp at every turn. He checked in regularly, made all transfer plans, and answered questions big or small. Bülent was also flexible. We made some changes to his recommendations of places to stay based on friends and our own research. In those cases, he honored our ideas rather than his own spots, thus allowing us ownership of the plans.

Bülent found incredible guides for us. Each guide went out of their way to make our trip what we wanted, not just a typical tour. We had a truly one-of-a-kind experience. For example, one guide brought us to his home and shared his homemade wine with us. My husband and I can't wait to plan another trip with Bülent and the travel agency, hopefully back to Turkey.

Having George from the travel agency as our travel consultant was priceless! I usually plan our trips myself but there were too many things to consider in putting a trip like this together (flying into Athens, then island hopping for 10 days). It gave me such peace of mind to know that if any glitch occurred with our plans (like the ferry strike) I didn't have to panic and try to figure out what to do because we had George to handle those things for us--and he did! We had drivers waiting for us when we landed at the airport in Athens and when we got off the ferries to take us to our hotels and we had drivers pick us up at our hotels to take us on our excursions and bring us to the ferries and back to the airport. Every one of them was punctual and pleasant. We were very impressed with how smoothly things went. We got nightly text messages from George confirming our plans for the following day and if it was a "free day" he offered some great suggestions of things to do and local restaurants to try. He was always available to offer suggestions and answer any questions we had. I will definitely recommend George and the travel company to anyone thinking of taking a trip to Greece! Thank you George for helping us plan this amazing vacation, it was truly the trip of a lifetime! Efcharisto! Linda 

Overall, it was a great trip. There were a few things that could have been better, but most could not have been. The private tour of the Acropolis was great. We really appreciate having a private tour director in that setting. For the food tour, we felt like we could have gotten a lot more out of a group food tour than a private tour. Perhaps we would have been able to visit restaurants as we have in other countries. The Delphi tour was great. The hotel in Greece was great in every way. The one in Santorini had a view that took our breath away. Sitting on the balcony eating breakfast overlooking the town and ocean was magical. The room itself was less desirable. The toilets all had water stains. There was not a door to the master bath. In a single bedroom, this would have been just fine. However, we had a separate bedroom that our daughter slept in. She did have a door to her bathroom, so we all used it. We had two tours on Santorini, a Sunset Cruise, and a cooking class. The boat on the Sunset Cruise had issues and we were not able to see the sunset. Issues happen, I understand. However, the refusal to provide refunds was very unprofessional. I am sure it would have been incredible if there had not been mechanical issues. While the Acropolis was the highlight of the destinations we saw, the cooking class was the most enjoyable tour/event. Everyone in the group had a great time. It was nice to be in a group, but a very small group, only 8 people. We felt these were better than the private tours. It was also nice to have transportation arrangements made. It saved us so much time and stress. At the end of the day, we all came home telling each other that this vacation was truly incredible.

The trip was amazing! The history in Turkey is mind-boggling and the travel company couldn't have done a better job with our itinerary. The hotels were great, and our guide is probably one of the best in the business. When we were putting the trip together, Derya really listened to what we wanted to do and created a memorable trip for us. I highly recommend this travel agency!

Overall, we had a great time exploring Greece (Athens and Santorini). This travel company provided us with a stress-free experience. All of our transfers and reservations were on time. Our transportation was provided in high-end and comfortable vehicles, and our accommodations were clean and comfortable, with stunning views.
