I want to say a big thankyou for your terrific arrangements for my holiday in Athens! Everything was fantastic, especially the taxi driver!
You said his name was Paul, so after a few bits of conversation, he said his name was Bill! (Or Vassilis, if I want to really be correct!) He was a real asset and I've included a lovely picture from the airport!
Johns Hotel was great, likewise the Acropolis View. Staff were helpful and friendly. So your arrangements worked very well indeed and we had a relaxing break before the concert in Athens.
I expect you saw some of the press and TV coverage, but even if you don't particularly like her as a singer, she has made such a great effort for the past 50 years, advertising Greece aroung the world. I had a seat in the very front level with the stage.
It was just wonderful, even tho' it was all in Greek, but I'm used to that. She received a medal from the Athens Mayor earilier that day, then the 3 mayors of Athens, Paris and Berlin were in the front row, along with your primeminister Karamanlis!
After the show, I got backstage with a couple of my friends from the UK and she saw me, said hello with kisses and a hug! She really is a wonderful person.
So with thanks to you, my trip to Athens was perfect. Except the lack of pavements and kerbs for wheelchairs! Greece has a long way to go, but at least it's made a start!
Please use any of this as positive comments for your agency, cos' you were terrific in helping me to make my dreamn come true, to be at Nana's last concert in Athens!
I will send a card from the UK, shortly!
Regards, to Bill as well !

Amy and I have safely returned from our honeymoon in Europe and we just wanted to thank you so much for helping to plan our vacation.
Our time in Greece was so wonderful. The hotels in Athens (Hera), Mykonos (Petasos Beach) and Santorini (Filotera) were perfect for our needs.
Of course, the Petasos Beach resort was our favorite and we took advantage of the spa, pools and close proximity to Platis Gialos. The half-day tour of the Acropolis in Athens was just enough to get a taste of the city.
In addition, we were so glad to have timely transportation arranged for all of our connections.
Your help is truly appreciated you and we will definitely recommend your agency to friends and family who are considering trips to Greece.
Thanks!

I am back in Costa Rica after a wonderful trip on the islands. Everything went well, according to schedule.
The hotels we stayed at were great, the transfers wetre always on time etc. But the greatest thing about the whole trip was the people. Greeks are one of the kindest people we/ve ever met. We want to thank you for a wonderful vacation, and be sure we will recommend your services to anybody who plans a trip to Greece.
My wife and I are planning to go back next year, with our three sons but probably in the month of September. Again thanks a lot for your services and your interest in that everything worked out fine.
If there is a place in the Internet where I can place a comment let me know.
Best regards,Alvaro Artavia General Manager G4S Security Services Costa Rica

You were right, we needn't have worried. Both locations (Myconian
Abassador and Uranos Traditional Houses) were wonderful, each in
their own way.
The Myconian upgraded us to a suite with a private pool, which was
more wonderful. While I must admit that I was at first disappointed
with Uranos, I quickly came to appreciate the combination of view,
location, tranquility, and excellent staff. We both agreed that
Uranos was an excellent choice. And we appreciate the Acropolis
view room at the Cypria, something which we could never get before.
Even your ferry bookings inspire our appreciation. Whether by luck
or by design, our boats were among the few that sailed on September
20 and 24. We met very many people who were stranded by ferry cancellations,
but everything went well for us. We both thank you for your recommendations
-- we greatly enjoyed our trip and we shall refer back to you for
any future trips to Greece. We think Crete may be next, but not
for a year or so.

When my son and I were planning a trip to Athens (and
Istanbul), I was very fortunate to have found Antelope Travel.
Konstantinos contacted me quickly and, based on our preferences,
was able to provide options for hotels and tours in both cities,
and transportation between the two. The accomodations were excellent
and the tours were great.
Everything was provided for us (especially helpful were the
airport transfers!) which made our lives much easier. We had
an excellent holiday!
James Oliver
We had a wonderful time. Every
place was special. Your offices in Mikonos and Santorini
were very helpful, the accommodations wonderful, and
Crete was a wonderful surprise. I look forward to
being able to spend more time there one day and add
other islands as well. In hindsight, the only changes
I would have made involved timing of portions of the
trip so we had more time in Crete and a less demanding
return schedule.
(We awoke 4:30 am in Aghios Nicolaos to drive back
to Heraklion airport for flight out and with delays
in US for our return, we had a 29 hours of being up
and traveling.) We look forward to doing it again
and seeing more of your wonderful country and enjoying
the hospitality.
I’ll check with my wife to see if she has additional
comments she’d like to add. Thanks for all you
did in making it a special time for us.
Richard Hartzell
I just wanted to send you
a short note expressing my wife’s and
my collective appreciation for your support
and assistance over the last few weeks.
As you know, when we encountered the issues
caused by Lupe’s passport not having
the required validity period acceptable to
the Greek authorities, it appeared that all
was going to be lost as far as our holiday,
but through your perseverance, flexibility,
and on-going communication efforts, not only
were we able to save the holidays, we were
able to enjoy them to the extreme.
Everything you set-up and coordinated (and rebooked) was executed flawlessly (the itineraries, the transfers, the hotel bookings) and I’m pleased to say that all the recommendations relative to hotels and people assisting us exceeded expectations. And a nice closing touch to the trip was the opportunity to meet you on the last day of our stay. In closing, this has been our second trip to Greece in the last four years and I know it won’t be our last, so I look forward to having your expertise and leadership guide us to an even greater experience the next time around. Best Regards, Richard and Lupe Hartzell
Scott and Heather
Thank you very much for all your work.
The hotel selections were wonderful.
I don't know what they were thinking
about the hotel on Crete when the reviewers
said it was bad.
That was the nicest one. The only trouble
we had was with the flight I booked
from London to Athens and back through
Easy Jet. I would steer away from them.
Athenian Air was wonderful, the most
comfortable flights and the high speed
boat was a great experience. We needed
a rental car on Santorini, and got one.
They were cheap to rent there. I will
get some pictures sent to you later
on this week. Again, thank you, Scott
and Heather Hayes
Peggy
I would like to thank you for all your help with my recent travels in Greece. Everything you planned for me went smoothly and on time. The hotels you chose were delightful. I appreciate all the suggestions you made. I enjoyed my time in your country. Best regards, Peggy Wheatcroft
Anna Mitman
We just wanted to let you know that the Delphi tour we booked through you was the highlight of our holiday in Greece. We thoroughly enjoyed it and the guide was excellent. Many thanks. Kind regards, Anna Mitman
Rick Gould
Just wanted you to know how much we
enjoyed our trip to Greece. People could
not have been nicer and we had ideal
weather throughout our journey. Your
selection of accomodations provided
us with the Greek experience. While
the Hotel Avra in Rafina was very nice,
it was quite a distance from the airport.
You had suggested the hotel right at
the airport which would have been convenient,
but very expensive for the 8 hours we
were in Athens before we had to be back
to the airport.
Probably the Holiday Inn or similar
a little closer in would have been fine,
but I think you put us in Rafina because
there was a good view and a town we
could visit. In any event, things worked
out fine. A few highlights: Meeting
you. Meteora was unbelievable. The view
of the Acropolis when we exited the
Metro coming into Athens. Nick driving
us around. Corinth Canal. Ancient Corinth.
Delphi. The food. ATV driving in Mykonos.
Everything about Santorini. The view
from our hotel in Oia was incredible!
The streets in Iraklion, Crete. Knossos.
Driving into the mountain villages of
Crete. Chania - another spectacular
hotel setting. Air and boat trips went
perfect. For the women, it had to be
the shopping. Shopped everywhere we
went. If you need any references, Konstantinos,
I would be glad to help out anyway I
could. Best wishes for a productive
tourist season. Greece offers it all.

We are home safe and sound. The trip was great with all the connections and transfers working out well. The only exception was on Mykonos where the taxi took us to the passenger only port to catch the ferry. Fortunately we were early enough and asked around to find out we should have been at the car ferry port to get the right ferry to Naxos. We quickly caught another taxi and made the ferry. The ferry from Santorini to Crete had mechanical problems so we had to stay a day longer in Santorini but your agent phoned us about the problem with the ferry and looked after all the changes necessary so everything went smoothly. The hotels were all good and the breakfasts good but the Sunrise in Santorini only had coffee, juice and toast for breakfast. All the rest had that plus eggs, cheese, meat, fruit and yoghurt. However the hotel itself was fine and close to the town centre. I would certainly recommend your company to any of our friends who were planning a Greek holiday. Thanks for all your help. Regards; Greg Halsey-Brandt

Nuestra experiencia a lo largo de Grecia estuvo cargada de una fascinacion indescriptible por los sitios visitados, por su gente, por la atencion recibida en cada uno de los hoteles donde nos alojamos, por el embrujo de sus islas y por el magnetismo que emana la historica ciudad de Atenas. Pero nada de esto hubiese sido posible de no haber contado con la atencion brindada por la empresa Antelope Travel en la persona de Konstantinos quien nos supo asesorar de la mejor manera a fin que nuestra estadia fuese todo lo placentera que fue, ademas de apoyarnos en todos los momentos en que lo requerimos … Mil Gracias!!!

Celeste Scheepers
We are back from Greece and I would just like to thank you so very much for everything. The Hotels that you provided us with, were great as well as all the other arrangements like the Ferry tickets and directions on how to get to the hotels etc. We really enjoyed it a lot. All the hotels were quite impressive and up to standard except for Hotel Ibiscus. We could see that they were renovating, so I am sure that it will be sorted out anyway. Hotel sunrise, pireaus dream and allassia were very impressive. Thanks again and I have already told people about your great service and will keep on doing that! Hope to maybe do some travelling-business with you again in the future! Kind Regards Celeste Scheepers
Margaret McRae
Hi there, Our trip to Greece and the islands was wonderful. Thanks again for everything. I just wish we could have stayed longer especially in Santorini and Athens. I loved the city and didn't have enough time to explore. The coach tour was great and I'd recommend it to anyone coming to Greece. Unfortunately for me the driver of our bus crushed the frame of my suitcase forcing it into the mini bus. Other than that the holiday was perfect. I hope you have a great summer and anyone needing a travel agency in Greece I will refer to you. Take care, Margaret McRae
