Frequently asked questions

At Greca, most of the packages and excursions available on our website feature our Guaranteed Departure seal, meaning they do not require a minimum number of participants to operate.

However, some specific programs, tours, or excursions may be subject to a minimum number of participants. In such cases, this condition will be clearly indicated in the service description before the reservation is made.

If a departure is subject to a minimum number of participants and this requirement is not met, our team will inform you in a timely manner about its status and the available alternatives.

International flights, meaning flights to or from your city of origin, are not included in the package but can be quoted separately.

Each passenger is free to book and issue their own flight tickets without having to purchase them through us.

We strongly recommend booking flights well in advance to benefit from the best available fares!

Yes, they do. When booking with Greca there is no need to worry as we always book flights with checked-in luggage, but the weight allowance depends on the airline. Normally, international flights allow up to 23 Kgs and domestic flights allow between 15 and 20 Kgs in economy class. Check out the included section of each program for more details.

• More than 31 days before arrival: No charge
• 30-15 days before arrival: €20 handling fee per modified service
• 15 days or less: No modifications or amendments permitted

If the new services or requested dates are more expensive than the original booking, the traveller will be charged the corresponding price difference. If they are less expensive, Greca Travel will refund the difference, excluding any non-refundable items or services.

When the program includes flight or train tickets, the traveller will be responsible for any fees or penalties imposed by the carrier for modifications, including, but not limited to, date changes, rescheduling, route changes or name corrections.

The following administration fees apply per leg and per person for approved modifications:

• Intercontinental flights: €20
• All other flights: €10

4. PRODUCTS WITH SPECIFIC CANCELLATION TERMS

The cancellation policy outlined in this document constitutes the standard cancellation framework applicable to Greca Travel programs.

However, certain product categories may be subject to different cancellation conditions, which may include shorter free cancellation periods, stricter penalties, or fully non-refundable terms. Where a product is subject to specific cancellation terms, such conditions will be clearly indicated in the product description page.

In such cases, the specific cancellation conditions displayed for the individual product shall prevail over and replace the general cancellation policy stated herein.

Example: Free up to 48 hours before arrival. If you cancel less than 48 hours before, the product is non-refundable.

By proceeding with the booking of such products, the traveler and/or partner expressly acknowledge and accept the specific cancellation terms applicable to that service.

5. AIRLINE & TRAIN TICKETS – SPECIAL CONDITIONS

All airline and train tickets included in any Greca Travel program are non-refundable and subject to a 100% cancellation charge from the moment of issuance, unless otherwise expressly stated in the product description.

7. HOTEL-SPECIFIC CONDITIONS

Where travelers select accommodation from multiple hotel options, the cancellation conditions applicable to the chosen hotel will be clearly displayed during the booking process.

These hotel-specific conditions supersede the general package cancellation terms.

Travelers are strongly advised to review them carefully before completing their purchase.

8. INSURANCE & RISK COVERAGE

Greca Travel includes Health and Cancellation insurance in most of its programs, which may cover up to 100% of the trip price in the event of hospitalization, the death of the insured traveller or an immediate family member, as well as other unforeseen events covered by the policy.

During the booking process, travellers may also purchase optional insurance plans with extended coverage, subject to the terms, conditions, limits and exclusions established by the insurance provider.

9. SPECIAL CAMPAIGNS – EXCEPTION TO STANDARD TERMS

For F.I.T. and B2B bookings confirmed as part of special campaigns, promotions, or negotiated offers (including but not limited to Black Friday or limited-time sales), the specific cancellation and refund terms agreed for each campaign shall apply. These campaign-specific conditions shall supersede and replace the general Cancellation & Modification Policy outlined above, regardless of the cancellation date or reason. By confirming a booking under a special campaign, the partner and traveler expressly acknowledge acceptance of the applicable campaign terms.

10. REFUND PROCESSING

Approved refunds will be issued using the same payment method originally used for the booking. If this is not possible (for example, if the payment method is no longer valid), an alternative solution will be arranged.

Refunds are processed once per week, every Wednesday, or on the next business day if our headquarters are closed.

Please note that the time required for the refunded amount to appear in the traveler’s account depends on the bank or payment provider and may vary accordingly.

The refunded amount will reflect any applicable cancellation fees, administrative charges, non-refundable services, or supplier-imposed penalties, in accordance with this policy or the specific product conditions.

Payment is accepted exclusively by credit or debit card through our secure online payment platform.

For bookings of €10,000 or more, payment by bank transfer is available exclusively through our agents and only for the full booking amount.

Should you choose this payment method, please note that, as bank transfers are not credited instantly, both prices and availability are subject to change until receipt of the full payment has been duly confirmed.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express, Diners and Discover, among many others.

We also offer the option to pay for your trip in up to 12 interest-free installments using any of the accepted credit and debit cards.

The system will automatically calculate the number of available installments based on your travel date. Please note that the full amount of your trip must be paid at least 15 days before departure to guarantee the provision of all services included in your booking. For further details, please see: What does the financing option consist of and how does it work?

All payments are processed according to the highest security standards to protect your personal data and ensure a safe and reliable booking experience.

When we say that our financing plan is one of the best on the market, it is because Greca finances your trip directly, without relying on your bank or credit card provider.

This allows you to pay in up to 12 interest-free installments, depending on your travel date and how far in advance you make your booking. What's more, you don't need to have the full purchase amount available or a credit card limit equivalent to the total cost of your trip. You only need sufficient available credit for the amount of each installment.

The available installment plans are 2, 3, 6, 9 or 12 installments. The number of installments and the options available for you to choose from are automatically determined by our system at the final step of the booking process, when you make your first payment.

The system takes into account the date of your first payment and compares it with your travel start date to determine the number of installments available, ensuring that the full cost of your trip is paid at least 15 days before the departure date.

The total booking amount is divided into equal installments, which are automatically charged to the same card used for the original purchase, every 30 calendar days.

Before each charge, you will receive an email notification keeping you informed about your payment schedule, along with confirmation once each payment has been successfully processed.

If, for any reason, a payment cannot be processed, we will notify you so that you can check the situation with your bank or card issuer. Once the issue has been resolved, you can resume your payment plan and continue paying for your trip easily and securely.

Of course!

During the booking process, complete the requested information until you reach the payment section. At that point, before completing your purchase, our system will offer you the option to split the total amount by generating additional payment links. These links can be sent individually to each traveler after entering the required details.

The total amount will be divided equally among the number of payment links generated.

One payment link is allowed per traveler. As an exception, travelers making an individual booking may choose to generate one additional payment link, up to a maximum of two payment links in total.

At Greca, all the accommodations we offer—regardless of category—include at least the basic services we consider essential for a 3-star hotel.

If you choose your own hotel during the booking process, you will be able to see the specific amenities each property offers so you can make an informed decision.

During the booking process of a fully customizable package, you will be able to review the exact services available at each hotel included in your booking, based on real time availability per destination.

Important note: The hotel ratings displayed on our website are provided directly by each property. Greca Travel is not liable for any discrepancies between the published rating and the actual standards encountered during the stay.

The hotels included are clearly indicated within each program, under the “Accommodation” section, and vary by category and destination. If a destination is marked with the note “Choose your own accommodation”, you will be able to select your preferred hotel during the next steps of the booking process, as well as for other destinations with the same option.

Please keep in mind that at Greca, we offer different types of travel packages to suit your style and preferences. Some include fully organized group tours, others combine fixed tours with customizable parts, and some are entirely flexible. Thanks to our hybrid system, you can also decide whether you prefer Greca to assign the hotels for you or to choose them yourself. Here’s how it works:

• In packages with fixed group tours (such as those including Olympia, Delphi, and Meteora), the hotels are pre-assigned to ensure proper logistics and group coordination. You will notice this because the hotels are listed, but the “Choose your own accommodation” label will not appear. Even so, in many cases you will still be able to change the accommodation category during the next steps of your booking.
• In semi-customizable packages, you will be able to choose your hotel in certain destinations (where you see the above-mentioned label). In other parts of the trip —usually the fixed group tour part— the hotels will already be assigned and you will only be able to switch categories.
• In fully customizable packages, you will be able to select your preferred hotels in all destinations, among several options based on category and services. However, if you prefer, you can also choose not to select hotels and allow Greca to assign them for you. This decision is made in the “Accommodation” section during the booking process.

In all cases, Greca carefully selects accommodations that meet national standards as well as our own quality criteria, ensuring comfort, strategic location, and competitive pricing. Our team personally inspects many of the properties each year.

For your reference, here are some examples of hotels frequently used in our group tours:

Greece (Main hotels used in pre-set tours)

• Kalambaka (Meteora): Hotel Kosta Famissi or similar
• Delphi: Hermes Hotel Olympic or similar

To learn more about the cost of changing your transportation services, we invite you to review the "Optional Services" section during the booking process. There, you will be able to choose whether to keep the services originally included in your program or replace them with alternative options. At Greca, we highly recommend fast ferries and flights for their comfort and time savings.

We highly recommend taking fast ferries of flights, especially on your way back to Athens.

Tourist taxes, hotel taxes, or overnight taxes are governmental and municipal charges that the hotel collects directly from the traveler at check-in.

It is always important to include these fees or taxes when calculating the total cost of your trip, as they represent an additional mandatory expense to consider.

Greca does not apply hotel or overnight taxes, which generally depend on the category of the hotel, the city, and the total number of nights. These are listed on our website, in question 42, unless you select your own hotel and such a charge is clearly indicated.

Greca guarantees the best prices on all its products! So you can simply choose your vacation with the certainty that you will get the best price. If you find a better price, contact us by filling out a form, and be sure to send us the link so we can verify it.

You must know that in most of the cases the price difference lies in the services included, for example, the entrance fees to archeological sites, food, transport, etc.

At the moment, Greca does not arrange shared hotel accommodation during land excursions. We encourrage you to find travel companions beforehand, whereby the cost of your trip will also decrease as a result.

It is the ideal way to travel and share expenses if you are 3 friends or family, they will enjoy every moment of the trip together. Triple rooms usually offer an extra bed, a sofa bed, or a similar option for the third person, depending on the accommodation. On cruises, triple cabins generally feature bunk beds. If you prefer a cabin with standard individual beds for greater comfort (especially for elderly passengers), we recommend contacting us to check availability. The discount applied to the third occupant is distributed among all participants, resulting in a more convenient price.

The best time to travel depends on your destination and the type of experience you’re seeking.

For most Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries—such as Greece, Italy, Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Egypt, Jordan, and Morocco—the ideal travel season is April to October. These months offer warm weather, longer days, and a vibrant atmosphere, perfect for exploring islands, beaches, and open-air historical sites. The low season (November to March) features fewer crowds and better prices. Thanks to generally mild winters, it’s a great time to enjoy cultural cities, archaeological landmarks, and authentic local experiences without the heat or crowds.

If you're heading to Scandinavia or Central Europe, May to September offers the best weather for sightseeing and nature. In northern regions like Norway or Finland, you can experience the Midnight Sun in summer, while from late September to March, the Northern Lights become visible—an unforgettable natural spectacle.

In the United Arab Emirates and Israel, the cooler months from October to April are most comfortable for travel, avoiding extreme summer temperatures.

Each season offers something unique—whether it's sun-drenched coastlines, festive winter charm, or magical natural phenomena.

For your comfort on board, we recommend low-heeled or sports shoes, as they make it easier and safer to move around on open-air decks and stairs.

On some cruises, there may also be special evenings, such as the Captain’s Gala or a Cocktail Night. For these occasions, more formal attire is suggested: a cocktail dress or an elegant suit for the ladies, and a jacket and tie for the gentlemen.

During the booking process, we will ask you to indicate where you will be staying, whether at a hotel or private accommodation. Based on this information, our system will automatically calculate and display the nearest available meeting point.

In some cases, the pickup time and location are not provided during the booking process or included in the booking confirmation because the exact pickup details may vary depending on the time of year. In these instances, Greca will reconfirm this information a few days before the excursion by resending your original confirmation, this time including the exact pickup location and time.

If you have already booked your tour but do not yet know where you will be staying, you can select the option during the booking process that allows you to provide this information later.

In this case, you will receive a link along with your booking confirmation, through which you can submit your accommodation details at any time, up to 48 hours before the excursion starts.

You will be able to travel comfortably as greca ensures that the excursions are carried out in air-conditioned vehicles such as buses, minibusses, or cars, according to the number of passengers. Our vehicles are conducted by professionals, and accompanied by local travel escorts or licensed tour guides where applicable. The vehicles meet all the safety requirements stipulated by the government regulations of each of the countries where we operate.

Activities operate as scheduled in the event of rain. However, in the event of extreme weather conditions (such as heavy snowfall or exceptionally high temperatures) that require the tour to be cancelled, we will contact you and offer either an alternative date or a full refund.

In case of flight delays or delays in collecting your luggage, Greca’s representatives will wait for you up to 90 minutes from the arrival of your flight, and up to 45 minutes at ports and train stations.

In the “Included” section of each program, as well as in its detailed description, it is specified whether the transfers include assistance, transportation, or both.

Transfers are shared among travelers under the same reservation number. To reduce CO₂ emissions and support sustainable tourism, vehicles may also carry passengers from different reservations traveling the same route.

Please note that if you choose a hotel located far from the city center or outside the usual service area, an extra supplement may apply to cover the additional distance.

At Greca, we book hotels that include breakfast as a minimum, unless you choose a different hotel during the booking process. In that case, the meal plan may vary depending on the selected property.

Each program clearly specifies which meals are included and which can be added as optional services. We recommend checking the “Included” section of each itinerary to see the specific details of your package.

You must be at least 21 years old for renting a vehicle (25 years old in some categories). There are no maximum age restrictions.

The driver´s credit or debit card will be requested at the time of picking up the vehicle and will be used for the security deposit (prepaid cards are not accepted).

Authorized driving license:

If your driving license was issued by any of the countries that are in the following list, Congratulations! Your license or card type is valid and does not require the presentation of any additional documentation:

Albania, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, Cyprus, Costa Rica, Ivory Coast, Croatia, Cuba, Denmark, Ecuador, United Arab Emirates United, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Estonia, Russian Federation, Philippines, Finland, France, Georgia, Ghana, Greece, Guyana, Hungary, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan , Latvia, Liberia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, North Macedonia, Malta, Morocco, Mexico, Monaco, Mongolia, Montenegro, Nigeria, Norway, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Central African Republic, Czech Republic, Republic of Korea, Republic of Moldova, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Romania, San Marino, Senegal, Serbia, Seychelles, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Tajikistan, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan,Ukraine, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Vatican, Venezuela, Vietnam, Zimbabwe.

- For the countries not mentioned above, the driving license is required to be accompanied by an international license also known IDP or IDL. Issuing an International Driving Permit or License is a very straight forward procedure and can be issued online and offline.

Franchise is the part of the damage in a claim that the insured party has to pay. It can be a fixed amount or a percentage of the total insured amount. Therefore, the amount and payment of the insurance company coverage only begins when the claim exceeds the amount of said franchise.

For example: if the insurance franchise is Eur 750 and the damage from the accident to be covered is Eur 1000, the insurance company will have to pay for the difference between the franchise payment (paid by the insured party) and the total amount of the claim, that is to say, Eur 250 in this case.

Passport:

A valid passport is required for travel. Please ensure it is valid for at least six months beyond your travel date, as most countries enforce this requirement.

Visa:

This will depend on both the country that issued your passport and the country or countries you plan to visit.

Many destinations are visa-exempt for stays under 90 calendar days. However, we recommend contacting the embassy or consulate of the country or countries you intend to visit, in your place of residence, before departure. If your program includes a cruise or visits to multiple countries, it is essential to verify whether a Double-Entry or Multiple-Entry Visa is required to re-enter the European Community or other regions.

You can also check this information online here.

Vaccinations:

Some destinations, and even certain airlines, may require vaccination certificates for specific diseases, while in other cases vaccinations are merely recommended for health reasons. It is the traveler's responsibility to obtain the necessary information and comply with all applicable requirements.

We recommend checking any vaccination requirements with your airline, the health authorities in both your country of residence and your destination country, as well as official international sources such as the World Health Organization (WHO) or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Once you have selected the program that best suits your preferences, expectations and needs, you can not only book it online but also customize it or, if you wish, contact us to request additional or more advanced modifications that you cannot manage on your own.

Click on the program that best suits your needs and complete the required fields in the "Check Availability & Price" box, located on the right-hand side of the screen (or at the bottom if you are using a tablet or mobile phone). In this section, you can select your preferred available dates, room type, hotel category or categories if the program combines different hotels, and cabin type if the program includes a cruise. You can also indicate whether you are travelling with children and specify their ages at the time of travel.

You will also find a price guide identified by three different colours, allowing you to easily distinguish the rates applicable to each season.

Next, click "Start" to begin your booking. From that moment on, our system will guide you through a series of easy-to-follow steps.

In the first step, if your program allows flexibility in accommodation selection, you can choose whether you would like us to assign the included hotels or prefer to select each hotel yourself. To do so, go to the "Accommodation" section and click on the corresponding option.

If you choose to Choose your own hotels, you will be able to do so at each destination, from the available hotel categories. You can also add extra nights if you wish to extend your stay.

If the package includes a group tour with pre-established hotels, accommodation changes will not be possible. In this case, the hotels will be those previously listed in the "Accommodation" section.

You will also have the option to add optional excursions or services, internet plans to stay connected, upgrade your travel insurance coverage and customize certain transportation services, such as replacing a ferry with a flight, if available. At this stage, we also provide a section for special requests, where you can inform us about allergies, disabilities or any other requirements you consider important.

Next, you will proceed to the traveller information stage, where you will be asked to provide details such as full names (exactly as they appear on passports), dates of birth and passport numbers. Only fields marked with an "*" are mandatory.

In this section, you can also provide your arrival or departure flight details, depending on the services included in each program. This information is not required at the time of booking and can be provided at a later date.

In the final step, you will proceed to payment by credit card. Here, you can choose whether to pay in full or in instalments, select the number of instalments and decide whether to make the payment individually or split it with another traveller.

Once your payment has been successfully processed, a payment confirmation screen will appear. You will also receive an email at the address provided, containing your booking confirmation and details, a pro forma invoice and a PDF copy of your itinerary.

If your payment fails, simply follow the instructions provided and try again.

If you have booked a package or cruise with us, your Master Voucher, containing all the details of your reserved services, will be issued shortly. It will be updated periodically and sent to you by email, no later than 15 days before your travel start date.

And remember: If you have any questions during or after the booking process, please do not hesitate to contact us. Your questions are always welcome!

It is not necessary! Once you have received the booking confirmation and Master Vouchers, you only need to count the days left to meet us and enjoy a trip you will never forget!

If you are traveling to a country where you do not speak the language, the insurance includes multilingual phone assistance and coordination with local medical centers.

While Greca Base and Greca Advance insurance plans offer extensive coverage, there are some exclusions to consider:

• Medical expenses for pre-existing conditions.
• Strikes or flight cancellations due to operational or weather-related issues.
• Natural disasters such as earthquakes or hurricanes.
• Theft of personal belongings or cash.
• Coverage extension once the trip has started.

If you need greater coverage or flexibility, check the additional insurance options available during the booking process.

Yes! Both Greca Base and Greca Advance insurance plans have no age limit.

Regarding coverage extensions, once your trip has started, it is no longer possible to extend your coverage.

However, before completing your booking, you can select additional insurance options in the "Optional Extras" step to increase the coverage amounts and benefits according to your needs.

An eSIM (Embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card built directly into your device, eliminating the need for a physical card. It allows you to connect to mobile networks without inserting a physical chip, making it easier to activate and manage data plans remotely. Most modern devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches, are compatible with eSIM. We recommend checking your device's compatibility by consulting the user manual or the manufacturer's technical specifications.

We offer free eSIMs to our users based on the duration of their trip:

• 2 to 3 days: At least 1 GB, valid for 3 days.
• 4 to 7 days: At least 3 GB, valid for 7 days.
• 8 to 14 days: At least 5 GB, valid for 14 days.
• 15 to 21 days: At least 10 GB, valid for 21 days.
• 22 days or more: At least 15 GB, valid for 30 days

The eSIM is automatically assigned based on your trip duration when booking. Depending on the countries you visit, you will receive a local eSIM (for a single country), a regional eSIM (for multiple countries in the same region), or a global eSIM (if traveling across different regions).

Important: The eSIM is provided free of charge when the main service is consumed. However, if the booking is canceled and the eSIM has been activated, whether used or not, the minimum selling price of the eSIM package will be deducted from any refund. If the eSIM has not been activated, no charges will apply.

Activation is available 30 days before the check-out date of the trip. You will receive an email with a link to download the QR code and detailed instructions. Simply scan the code with your compatible device before or upon arrival at your destination.

Our free eSIM is designed to cover basic needs based on your trip duration. If you need more data, you can top up your eSIM through the recharge link available next to the installation link.

Please note that Greca is not a telecommunications or data provider. If you experience any issues with your eSIM, you can reach out to our e-sim provider → directly . Our support team is also available to assist you, simply contact us through the live chat on our website.

The Greca Miles Program is a loyalty initiative by Greca Travel, designed to reward Members for their patronage. Members earn Miles based on their spending, which can be redeemed for future Greca services, including flights, cruises, excursions, and travel packages.

Enrollment in the Greca Miles Program is automatic when you make your first purchase with Greca. Your account is created using the email provided during the reservation process, and participation is personal and non-transferable.

Miles are earned based on cumulative spending: If your total spending exceeds €100, you earn Miles corresponding to the amount spent.

Miles are credited within one week after your trip concludes and remain valid for three years from your travel date.

To redeem Miles: During checkout for a future booking, the system calculates your available Miles. You can apply part or all of them toward your new reservation.

Participation is open to all individuals with a valid email address, except for:

• Greca employees, airlines, or travel agencies.
• Legal entities, companies, and sole proprietorships.

Each member is allowed only one personal account. If multiple accounts are created, only the oldest one remains valid.

Miles Accrual: Earned when cumulative spending exceeds €100 and credited within one week after travel completion. When a group discount is applied, no miles are accrued.

Retroactive Claims: New members can claim Miles for past services (up to 36 months) before registration by submitting proof.

Redemption: Miles can be used for flights, cruises, excursions, and travel packages and combined with special discounts where applicable.

Expiration: Miles expire three years after the trip date and are non-refundable upon activation.

Account Termination: If a member requests to leave the program or in case of death, all Miles are voided.

Use and refunds: Miles are non-refundable once redeemed. If a reservation is canceled or modified after using Miles, they cannot be refunded or reactivated.

*Hotel, tourist, or overnight rates may change without notice.

This is a government-imposed fee that applies to all travelers arriving by cruise ship and disembarking at Greek ports.

The tax has been introduced by the Greek authorities (Law 5162/2024 – Article 27) to support sustainable tourism and local infrastructure development. It is not charged by Greca nor by the cruise line, but collected onboard by the cruise company and added to the traveler’s onboard account at check-out.

This tax applies to all cruise lines operating in Greece, and may vary depending on the date and destination of the cruise.

The rates currently in force are the following:

From June 1 to September 30:

EUR 20.00 per person for each visit to Santorini and Mykonos

EUR 5.00 per person for each visit to any other Greek port

From April 1 to May 31 and from October 1 to October 31:

EUR 12.00 per person for Santorini and Mykonos

EUR 3.00 per person for other ports

From November 1 to March 31:

EUR 4.00 per person for Santorini and Mykonos

EUR 1.00 per person for other ports

Important: The fee is charged per person and per port of disembarkation, meaning if your cruise stops at several Greek islands, the fee is multiplied accordingly.
Children are subject to the tax, while infants may be exempt, pending official confirmation.

How is the fee charged?

The Sustainable Tourism Fee will appear as line items on your onboard account, which can be reviewed at reception during your cruise and will be included in your final invoice. We advise you to always review your onboard account before disembarkation. If you did not leave the ship at certain ports, inform the reception desk to ensure the correct charges are applied.

Absolutely!

When you pay with a foreign card, our system automatically detects it and offers you the option to pay either in Greca’s currency (EUR) or in your own home currency.

How does it work?

When you use a foreign card, the system recognizes it and presents both payment options.

Before confirming the transaction, you will see the amount in EUR and in your currency, including the exchange rate, so you can select the one you prefer with full transparency.

What are the benefits for me?

You can see the final price in your currency, have full clarity on the exchange rate, and avoid surprises on your bank statement.

Which currencies are available?

You can pay in more than 50 currencies, including widely used ones such as USD, GBP, CAD, AUD, CHF, JPY, CNY, INR, KRW, AED, SAR, TRY, MXN, BRL, ARS, CLP, COP, PEN, among many others.

What if my currency doesn’t appear?

No problem — you can still complete your purchase by paying in Greca’s currency (EUR).

A package allows you to book most of your trip in a simple and centralized way, with the support of experts who know the destination and coordinate accommodation, transfers, visits, and other services.

In addition, many expenses that you would normally pay for separately when traveling independently are already included in the program. This makes it easier to understand the total cost of your trip from the start and helps reduce unexpected expenses during your stay.

At Greca, thanks to the volume of travelers and bookings we manage, we can often access better rates, availability, and conditions with local suppliers, hotels, operators, and other tourism providers that an individual traveler would be unlikely to obtain on their own.

At Greca, many packages can also be customized, combining the convenience of a trip organized by destination experts with the flexibility to adapt it to each traveler.

If you find the program too expensive or would like to improve the price, there are several alternatives:

• Choose your own hotels: when entering your reservation, you can select other alternatives in the optional services section. This may allow you to access more affordable options, without meals, or with cancellation conditions different from those included in our program.

• Book for more passengers: if several people are traveling together and are part of the same reservation, our system automatically calculates better prices based on the number of passengers, even if the booking does not qualify as a group!

If you have already reviewed these options, contact one of our agents. We can evaluate similar programs, more affordable alternatives, or remove certain services to better adapt the trip to your budget.

The reservation guarantees the price for 48 hours. It does not guarantee availability. Only payment guarantees availability.
