Dolphin Hellas Greek set up 12 days of exploration / tours based on discussion with us on what we wanted to see and do. Dolphin plans and executes a 'turnkey' holiday; hotel reservations, transportation including airport transfers, tour tickets, and guides. After transfer from the airport we were met at the hotel with our tour package of itinerary, pre-paid tickets for the tours, and information about each of the tours. Then quickly left us to recover from our flights.

Any issues, like a glitch in transportation, were managed by Dolphin – absolutely worry free for us. Dolphin is professionally run, highly efficient, and quietly effective. We were ‘on holiday’ and everything after retrieving our bags upon arrival up to checking in for the return flight was managed. Aside from pre-planning ‘discussions’ about our itinerary and approval of the tours, we only had to set our alarm to wake up.

A wonderful country to visit with more to see than you can imagine. Our trip was mostly archeological / history based with a few side trips. Essentially we stayed in Athens near the acropolis, the acropolis museum, and the national museum. Walking distance to all, but mostly travel arrangements were made even for the short trips. The Acropolis and its museum were within a couple of blocks of our hotel and we walked to the museum to meet our guide. We walked to other sites, Hadrian's Arch and Zeus' temple, which weren't on our list of guided tours.

The tour guides are all knowledgeable, with certifications as required in Greece, and ours were especially friendly and personable. Most or our tours were private tours, at our request, but we did a couple with groups and very happy with these as well. You can sharpen up on Greek mythology and history, but the tour guides will link the historical events to the places you visit as well as the mythology. This mountainous nation has a history across millennia and you feel the age and achievements. Monasteries are mostly intact and in use which adds a thrilling historical perspective. Although temples of mythology (Apollo, Athena, Poseidon...) and the Acropolis' are not as well preserved, they are recognizable AND the workmanship / artisanship is is very identifiable.

A memorable trip, just a couple hours from Athens, is the Meteora Monasteries. Built atop 'sky scraper' height, mountainous pillars, we were astounded by the structures. Imagining the effort to build the monasteries by moving materials from the ground level was inspiring.

I had the pleasure of having Uli help us plan our visit to Greece recently. We had a complicated schedule coming in by air, leaving by sea and island hopping in between. It was all scheduled and drivers were all on time to pick us up at every transfer. The tour's she booked for us both were so good, especially the island sail around Naxos. She did a great job and at a very reasonable price as I had compared with another group that was trying to charge me $2000 more. I will definitly be using Dolphin Hellas again.

We highly recommend Dolphin Hellas and especially Uli for help in arranging a trip to Naxos, Santorini and Athens. While we arranged our own airfare and booked one of the hotels on our own (taking advantage of a credit we had) Uli, handled everything else, from finding the perfect hotel in Athens, to arranging activities and all transfers. It was very organized and made planning this trip easy for us! We had one issue with a boat trip which Uli made right. She also responded immediately to all communication, which was extremely impressive with the time change!!

This was our first trip to Greece. I was using Matt Barrett’s web site, an excellent resource for travel to Greece, and he listed Dolphin-Hellas travel agency as one of his recommended Greece based Travel Agencies. I worked with Uli. She arranged an amazing and seamless trip for us. The destinations were fantastic , especially Crete. The accommodations were beautiful and beyond our expectations. Having drivers arranged for all our connections made the trip seamless. They were always there in time and wonderful tour guides as well. I highly recommend this agency for those planning a trip to Greece, and I recommend going in late September/October. The weather was perfect, even for beach time and the crowds , though still present, less onerous!

We recently travelled to Greece, and as it was our second time visiting the country since 2008, we again used Uli at Dolphin Hellas Travel. Our fantastic experience was made possible by the attention to detail that Uli is able to provide - from taking our tentative plans and tweaking them during the planning process, to making our holiday one that we shall remember forever. All of the small details such as airport/hotel transfers were always spot on, and the larger ones such as hotels, ferries, car rentals and activities were excellent. All we had to do was arrange travel to Athens and Uli took care of the rest. From Athens to Crete, Naxos, and Sifnos, we could not be any more pleased with the guidance she provided us from start to finish. Do not hesitate to allow Uli to put together your next trip, you will have a stress free vacation without having to worry about all of the little things that Uli has foreseen and taken care of for you.

Aliki at Dolphin Hellas set up our 8-member family with a worry-free, 22-day Greek vacation spanning Athens, Sounion, Nauplion, Aegina, Naxos, Crete & Syros. Aliki's attention to detail and responsiveness were noteworthy. When a few issues did arise, she quickly dealt with them for us. The wider team of guides and drivers that Aliki set up provided a timely, attentive, informative and understandable experience along the way. Without exception, I would savor the chance to sit down with each of them for continued discussions over a cup of coffee (etc.)! On our previous trips to Greece, we had used another travel agency, but would not go back. Though Greek travel is certainly not new to us, Aliki and Dolphin Hellas made such a positive first impression that, without hesitation, we will make future Greek travel arrangements through them!

We were so glad we consulted with Uli at Dolphin Hellas when trip planning for our three week grand tour of Greece became complicated! Uli handled all our ferries, transfers and many hotels. Some tour operators will do "all or nothing" but Uli was fine with the fact that I had already booked a couple of hotels and also wanted 5 nights in Crete with no reservations so we could be flexible and spontaneous. There was never a problem, always a driver waiting with our name on a sign. Twice I realized I wanted to change the time of a scheduled pickup and both happened to be Sundays. Nevertheless, Uli was reachable and accomplished exactly what we wanted with zero fuss. She is also simply delightful to work with and her English is remarkably good. Thank you Uli!

Because of Dolphin Hellas and Uli our 45th wedding anniversary was a spectacular success. This is our first trip where we trusted someone else to attend to our hotels and transfers. Uli’s attention to every detail, her precise coordination ensured our comfort and worry-free travel. If there was an issue (noisy Hotel as an example) Uli took care of it, if there was a ferry strike, she assured us she would assist us. Pleasant, knowledgeable, and patient as there were many queries on our part. Thank-you Uli! You are the best!

I used to love planning trips but lost my enthusiasm during the pandemic. Reaching out to Uli and Dolphin Hellas was so much easier.
We were in Athens prior to a wine tasting trip and after the wine trip, drove around the mainland for 11 nights. Uli planned the pre and post wine tour. It was easy and we stayed at some great hotels. I mentioned places we wanted to visit (Delphi, Meteora, Mt. Olympus, Thessaloniki and a return to Athens.) Uli plotted the order of stops, booked hotels, found a guide for Meteora, booked the car, and airport transport (3 of those). All were seamless. I’ll never do it all myself again. And I will return to Greece. Loved my trip.

Just returned from 2 weeks in Greece and had a fantastic time. This is the second time I've used Uli to help plan our trip of 4 couples. And again she did
an impeccable job. Very professional, responds to any questions or concerns promptly and very easy to work with. We had a lot on moving parts, airlines, rental vans, hotels, transfers and Uli did not fail us.
I highly recommend her for future travel plans to Greece.
