Once you
have chosen your accommodation call or email us to confirm availability - 01372 749579 or sales@spiritofgreece.co.uk Providing it is available we will hold the accommodation for you while you book your flights. You can do this online with our partners
Travel Republic or by phone with VHG Flights (0845 0710130 - mention Spirit of Greece) or you can book with any other flight company of your choice.
VHG Flights have access to charter flights that aren't advertised online so it is worth giving them a call - 0845 0710130 - but be sure to say you are booking accommodation with Spirit of Greece.

Transfers
To
Loggos, Gaios and Lakka in Paxos - Return transfers are available between Corfu
Airport to your accommodation on Mondays. They must be
booked in advance and cost £65 per adult and £32.50
per child under twelve.
Our transfers include being met by our representative at Corfu airport, a taxi to the port, hydrofoil tickets to Gaios, Paxos and a taxi or minibus to your accommodation. Early morning departures from the UK are required to avoid missing the last hydrofoil. Please discuss timings with us before booking flights so that we can confirm that transfers are possible. Please note that there may be a time gap between your arrival and the hydrofoil in which case there is a cafe/bar at the port.
You can make your own way if you prefer but if you do, we strongly advise you book your hydrofoil tickets in advance and be prepared for a long wait for a taxi in Paxos.
Easyjet now fly to Corfu but the timings are not great. However, savings can be made if you fly on a Sunday evening and stay the night in Corfu and then take the hydrofoil to Paxos on the Monday. A double room in Corfu at Hotel Atlantis (opposite the port) is from €80 - €100 according to their web site Hotel Atlantis which is often much less than the savings you make on the flying. We can transfer you to Paxos on the Monday but you have to get from Corfu Airport to the hotel yourself - just jump in an airport taxi.
To Agios Nikitas and Sivota, Lefkas - We recommend you hire a car (which we can arrange) with pick up and drop off at Preveza Airport from where you drive to your villa - we give driving directions. Alternatively a taxi can take you all the way from Preveza Airport to your villa - no need for a ferry for Lefkas. The cost is approx. 50 Euros each way for Agios Nikitas and 75 Euros for Sivota. You can get one from the taxi rank or we can arrange one to meet you. On arrival you will be met by the villa owners who can also arrange a return taxi for you.
To Lourdas and Spartia, Kefalonia - Again we recommend car hire from the airport which we can arrange. Driving directions are supplied with your accommodation voucher. Alternatively return transfers are available to our accommodation in Spartia (not to Lourdas) at £15 per person. Or you can just get a taxi at the airport to your villa and pay the driver. The cost is approx. 50 Euros each way. On arrival you will be met by the villa owners/agents who can also arrange a return taxi for you.
To Molyvos and Skala Kaloni, Lesvos - Flights are to Mytilene Airport, Lesvos. Taxi transfers can be booked through us in advance at a rate of £49 per person return or if you prefer, you can pick up a taxi from the airport taxi rank but this can get very busy. Alternatively you may wish to hire a car and drive to and from the airport which we can arrange for you.
To Skopelos - Flights are to Skiathos from where we offer a transfer service to Skopelos Town or to Glossa via taxi and hydrofoil or boat. Sailings are frequent and it does not matter what time your flight arrives. Upon arrival in Skopelos you can either continue by taxi to your accommodation or pick up a car rental and drive. Return transfers are £40 per person.
To Katigiorgis and Horton, Pelion -
Flights are again to Skiathos from where we offer a transfer service to Katigiorgis, Pelion via taxi to Agia Eleni and private motor launch to Katigiorgis. If you're staying in Katigiorgis it's a short walk up to the Avra Studios from the jetty or if you're staying in Horton, a taxi will take you to your villa. Return per person transfer prices are £55 to Katigiorgis and £75 to Horton. Please note that there may be a wait at Agia Eleni if we are waiting for other guests. This will be kept to a minimum and there is a taverna on the beach to while away the time.
Alternatively you can fly to Thassalonika or Volos, pick up a hire car and drive. It's about a 3 hour drive from Thessalonika to Horton and 3.5 hrs to Katigiorgis and there are flights with BA and Easyjet.
To Halki - For Halki you must fly to Rhodes. Wednesdays are the best days to travel as that is the day that most of the charter flights operate and there is a later ferry service. We do not arrange transfers to Halki but to get there is easy. From the airport take a taxi to the small port of Camiros Scala (about 35km). This will cost about 40 Euros per taxi and can carry up to four passengers. A ferry runs to Halki at 1700hrs every Wednesday and at 1430hrs on other days costing 10 Euros per person and taking about an hour. It's a short walk to our villas from the port and a representative of Villa Praxithea/Aristea will meet you at your accommodation. Alternatively you can book a sea taxi to take you at a cost of approx. 140 Euros for the boat so if there were eight of you it would be only 17.50 Euros per person. We do not book this service ourselves but can give you the sea taxi phone number. This is a useful alternative if there are no suitable flights to arrive in time for the ferry.
For the return take the morning ferry back to Camiros Scala and taxi to the airport. It is best to book the taxi in advance and we advise taking the telephone number of the taxi you used on your arrival. To be met by taxi and transported to the airport will cost approx. 50 Euros per taxi. |
