I booked two trips so far to Greece through Trips2Greece. Antonis was our travel agent both times & he went above & beyond. I went to Greece 4 years ago with my mom & he planned for us to go to 5 different islands over 16 days. Every
Place was beautiful & the hotels he picked were perfect. I then just went to Greece for my honeymoon & he made everything so easy & listened to what we wanted. He has everything planned for you down to the transfers getting to & from your hotel to booking the ferry rides for you & plan rides going to different islands. He even planned us a beautiful sunset cruise in Santorini that was such a highlight for our trip. I would 100% recommended Antonis to anyone that is planning on visiting Greece. We already can’t wait to go back again.
