Holiday Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
  • Why aren't you ABTA (Association of British Travel Agents), FTO (Federation of Tour Operators) or ATOL (Air Travel Organisers' Licensing) registered?
    These organisations were setup to protect the public from losing money or being stranded abroad because of the failure of air travel firms and travel companies who arrange the complete holiday packages. When you book your flight make sure that the agency you book through is covered by a professional association. As we do not arrange flights and generally you pay for your holiday upon arrival direct with the hotelier or car rental company. You pay for nothing in advance, with the exception of a small deposit and so there will be no payment issues.
     
  • What if we have to cancel our holiday after paying the deposit?
    If you have to cancel the holiday please let us know immediately and we will inform the hotelier. Because of the tight margins, a loss of a single booking can affect the hotelier immensely. We will endeavour to re-fill the booking, in which case your deposit will be refunded.
     
  • We are not from the UK and wish to make a holiday booking. How do we pay the deposit?
    You can now send us payments direct through the international banking system. Please see our check list page for further information.
     
  • Can you book our air flights to Crete?
    Sorry we don't arrange flight booking, instead we leave it up to you to arrange your own as we feel that you can get a very competitive rate by doing a little shopping around. Please see our travel section for further guidance.
     
  • Where can we hire a car?
    We can arrange car hire for you at no extra cost and you pay the car hire company direct when you take ownership of the car in Crete. You can pick-up and return the car to the airport (in which case we will require your flight details), or at most of the major towns. Please see our Car Rental  page.
     
  • I do like a good cup of tea in the morning to start my day off well. Is this easily obtainable in Crete?
    Unfortunately the blend of tea that one enjoys in England is not readily available in Crete and is very difficult to find. If you do like your cup of tea in the morning then it is better to take some with you. Coffee however is very similar to the UK and familiar brands can be found in most shops.
     
  • Why pick Greece and Crete as a holiday destination?
    We have a who pages dedicated this question - [Crete]  [Greece]
