Who we are

A ground operator, not a middleman.

We contract hotels direct, we book the ferries and the guides, we meet travellers at the airport and we follow the file through to the return. From the single traveller to the group, and on to corporate events, everything is built and run on the ground.

About the company
What kind of trip ?

Four moods,
one country.

Four ways into the country. Yours to choose where to begin.

Where we operate

The mainland and the islands.

Athens and the Peloponnese, the Cyclades and the Dodecanese, Crete, the Ionian islands, the north. We build the itinerary around your dates, not the other way round.

Our departments

Six trades under one roof.

Behind every trip, six teams who know their trade and know Greece.

01

Incoming · individuals

Ground handling for tour operators and agencies. Hotels and vehicles negotiated, files followed by one contact, and a team working out of Athens.

02

Excursions & guides

Athens, Meteora, Delphi, the acropolis of Lindos : licensed guides in your language and entrance tickets booked ahead.

03

Groups & tours

From quote to return : escorted tours on the mainland and the islands, self-drive, hotel allocations, ferries and domestic flights, full logistics for groups and series.

04

MICE & events

Seminars, incentives and conferences: site inspections, venues, gala evenings and on-site production, with the group’s MICE team.

05

Transfers & logistics

Meet and greet in Athens and at the island airports : saloons, minibuses and coaches, vehicles at disposal by the day, port transfers for cruise calls. We also put your clients on the hop-on hop-off sightseeing buses in Athens and the larger islands.

06

Client service & quality control

Someone on the line locally, from the first day to the last. Inspection visits to our suppliers, debrief on return.

What else we book

Beyond the hotel and the transfer.

A stay rarely comes down to a single line on an invoice. Here is what we add to the file, without sending you to another supplier.

01 · Service

Car hire and self-drive

Saloons, compacts and minibuses delivered to the airport or the hotel. And the full itinerary when the client drives: hotels booked stage by stage, on the mainland as on the larger islands.

02 · Service

Island combinations

Two or three islands in one trip, with ferries, domestic flights and transfers set against real timetables. When a connection changes, we rework the file before the client notices.

03 · Service

Villas and apartments

For families and small groups, a few addresses offered on request and subject to availability. We put them forward when they serve the stay better than a hotel.

04 · Service

Cruise calls

Welcome at the port, shore excursions and transfers, at Piraeus as in the island ports. We also arrange the hotel nights before and after the cruise.

05 · Service

Well-being

Some of our properties have a spa, a hammam or a fitness centre. We flag it at selection stage, along with the treatments bookable on site.

06 · Service

Activities and leisure

Diving, hiking, a day out at sea, cookery classes. We book with local suppliers and attach the activity to the same file as the stay.

Our story

A young company,
an old trade.

Creative Tours Greece has opened its office in Athens, in the lobby of the NIX Hotel. A young company, then, but not a young trade: ground handling, practised by the group we belong to since 1985.

Creative Tours Greece brings the same method to Greece. We do not resell a country, we operate it — a senior contact on every file, programmes built to order, and assistance you can reach throughout the stay.

Athens, the Peloponnese, the Cyclades, the Dodecanese, Crete, the Ionian islands and the north : we cover the mainland and the islands, with hotel contracts already in place and transfer, guide and ferry logistics handled end to end.
