A passport is needed for all holidays in this brochure. A valid ten year passport for adults and a minimum five year full passport for children is required for travel to Greece. Children under sixteen years are required to have their own passport unless they are already included on their parents.

It is important that the name on your passport matches that on your travel documents. If any member of your party changes their name between booking the holiday and the departure date, you must notify us immediately so that tickets in the new name can be issued. However, when a name changes to a married name and there is insufficient time to amend the passport, your marriage certificate must be carried. If this is not done you may be refused permission to travel and your insurance will be ineffective. Visitors who travel to Greece on a charter flight may visit Turkey or any other neighbouring country for the day but they must not stay overnight. However, regulations change frequently and it is best to check with the appropriate Consulate before your travel.

Non UK passport holders must check with the consulate if visas are required. These take time so please apply at least 12 weeks in advance. In all instances it is the clients' responsibility to ensure that their travel documents are correct and once a booking is confirmed, any changes will be subject to our standard booking conditions. If you hold a non E.U. passport it must be valid for at least three months after your return date.

The currency for Greece is Euros. Euro cash notes and Euro travellers cheques will be available from the UK banks from this date. However, sterling or any other currency may also be carried and converted into Euros at local banks, our representative agents and most supermarkets as previously. The rate of Euro against sterling at the time this brochure went to print was 1.40 Euro = £1. For tourists there are no limits on the amounts of local currency or travellers cheques in and out of the country. Credit or debit cards are not generally accepted except in main towns. However some local agents will accept credit cards for car hire and excursions. Cash machines are being introduced gradually but so far they are only available in main towns and not in every resort we feature but the following do have them:-

        Stoupa: One at our local office in the village, one near Kalogria, another in Kardamili 10 kms away.

        Lefkas: Lefkas Town and Nidri.

        Kefalonia: Argostoli and Fiscardo.

        Crete: Chania Town.

        Paxos: Lakka and Gaios

        Zakynthos: Tsilivi

        Meganissi: No money changing facility on the island. Nearest Nidri on Lefkas.

        Please Note: You should not solely rely on ATM’s . They are used frequently
        and often run out of money, especially in the high season.

All letters to this office must state the name of the principal on the booking form, your booking reference, date of departure and the name of your holiday accommodation. Your letters and telegrams abroad must never be sent to the accommodation direct. The properties do not have postal addresses. The owners receive their correspondence by name only. If you need to send letters to clients on holiday, please mark the letter with the clients name and their holiday property name, and our representative will forward your correspondence to the client. The air-mail post from the UK may take a week to reach Greece.

Our agent's address will be in the information that we will enclose with the travel documents.

At the time of going to print, it is not a requirement for UK residents to have vaccinations for travel to Greece. However, regulations may change and it is wise to contact your travel agent or your doctor to check if any vaccinations are recommended. Residents of non UK countries may need valid certificates of vaccinations and they should seek advice before travel.

Light summer clothing, and of course, swimwear. Although bath towels are provided in each accommodation, they tend to be on the small side and if you are really fussy, please carry your own. Beach towels are not provided.

Other recommended items: a driving licence, credit/debit cards, a small torch (essential) and a continental adaptor. Early and late in the season an item of warm clothing is recommended. Most requisites can be purchased locally, however you may find them more expensive than at home.

The cost of food and eating out is still very reasonable in Greece, and you will find that you use your kitchens for breakfast and light meals only. An average meal in Greece would cost approximately £10-£15 per head, however, costs are very much dependent upon where and what you eat, fish being particularly expensive, and the price is given as a guide only for an average meal. Baby foods and imported items can be expensive but we would strongly advise that you do not carry any frozen items of food.

Breakdown in electricity supply or a flight delay can be costly and we are unable to accept responsibility when this occurs. Current regulations forbid carriage of dairy or meat products from the UK to Greece.
