Worth looking into

What other travelers say about us

Interesting but no freedom

Everything visited was great, the guide was in complete command, but the hotels, as well as the restaurants on the route, are completely isolated and you have the feeling that you cannot move freely, or walk the towns where you are staying or decide to eat in another restaurant during the 4 days

CLASSIC TOUR CIRCUITS

VERY good and interesting, ANASTASIA; the guide is very competent. Keep on adding to your knowledge of Greek history at each visit!

A highly recommended walk

Through this excursion I was able to visit two islands that I did not know and I returned to Hydra, which is a charm!!! It is a highly recommended tour, through which you can get to know and enjoy places and their history, with delicious food on board and typical music/dance. Not to be missed!

Fantastic!
I am really glad that I chose the services of Greca Travel.

The service was amazing! The meal luscious! We enjoyed everything that we did that evening.

The Greek night and islands

In general, the guide for the Greek night was excellent, good knowledge, they charged me for a dinner that did not exist, the tour to the islands was saved by the hotel reception who suggested calling his email, it said 6/30 am and it was 5/30 am the guide It did not exist, it was just to pick up, they must improve, they have good staff.

Very good travel agency

I booked 3 trips in Greece and everything went to plan...especially the transfers and the pick-up times, which sometimes can be so frustrating. My email contact was a girl named Ximena. Without a hesitation I recommend GRECA TRAVEL for Spanish-speaking people and not only. Regards!

A marvel

Visiting this incredible historical monument is very, very special. Our experience yesterday was almost magical, as we traveled under constant rain, and suddenly upon arrival a huge rainbow appeared and the sun accompanied the rest of the afternoon in Sounion. The sunset, wonderful! All ten.

Wonderful service!

I received an immediate and effective response to my query about a tour in the city of Athens. Within a few minutes of writing on Greca's website, I received a telephone call from Mr. Dario at the hotel where I was staying and we made the excursion by phone. They picked me up promptly from the hotel and everything was perfect.
Felicitaciones.

A day trip to Delphi

A really good day trip, the bus journey is long but offers a beautiful view up the mountains. The tour guide was really informative and helped keep things interesting along the way, and Delphi is beautiful. It is well worth your time if you’re looking to get out of Athens for a day.

 Robert B. | United Kingdom
Good treatment

The booking was really easy, I had to call for some extra help with location of one of the bus stops, they were super helpful. They even call me back to see if we could find it. It was actually my mistake 😅

 Patricia F. | Greece
Good service, and friendly treatment.

Very good quality price. They make excursions and your stay in Greece much easier. I will book more trips with Greca

 Teresa C. | Greece
Turkey is wonderful

The historical sites are wonderful, especially Troy and Ephesus. Beautiful Istanbul and Cappadocia spectacle of nature. The hotels are far from the population center, that is a mistake. The places to eat have few options for vegetarians, they should be improved. The great guide Ömer, I will repeat

 María A. | Spain
Evening visit to Athens

Very interesting and outside the most typical and usual standards and places. Of course, it is impossible to go deeper, but it was clear that the guide, on another occasion and at another time, could spend three hours talking about the history and misadventures of a single m² in the center of Athens.

 Jordi F. | Spain
Great experience

The tour was well organized and a good value! The ship was in good condition and clean. The lunch was good and the entertainment was fun. The only negative was they canceled my original booking a few days ahead of time and emailed me with other options. Sundays most of the shops were closed in ports

Great tour, wonderful areas

Very nice tour visiting wonderful enclaves. There are many hours of car, yes. Some hotels are far from the city center, sometimes it is a problem and perhaps it could be improved, just like restaurants where there is sometimes little choice and prices are not indicated. The guide Ömer very well.

The truth is that we were delighted with the excursion, since it made it much easier for us to get around and learn about the sanctuary of Delphi and the monasteries of Meteora. It is really worth it, the guide is very friendly, the pick-up and drop-off at the hotel is also very good. A very useful output.

excellent guide

The guide's explanations are very interesting. In addition to his attention and the answer to our doubts. I would change the pick-up at the hotel for a single place so as not to invest 1 hour in going through all the hotels. More time to be able to visit the most remote area. Excellent food and attention.

very good good price

The truth is that we had several offers, but Greca made us the best price for all our excursions (we coincided with Black Friday) and the excursions we took were: 1 night Delphi and Meteora, extraordinary especially because of the Helena Guide. 1 day Argolidas&Mycenae and Epidaurus, good in everything.

 Javier P. | Spain
Great

The excursion, although a bit long, is worth it, especially because of the guide hired for this occasion in Spanish (Helena), extraordinary, an educated person, aware of everything, with extensive knowledge and pleasant in her explanations, if you get a guide like that, I don't know long ago and what we saw spectacular

 Javier P. | Spain

Delphi from Athens

Generally good; I would rate it as 7/10. The level of discomfort at the site is considerable, and the trip should be advertised for very healthy individuals only. The provided lunch was also only fair in quality. All other aspects were first-class.
