Dina, first and foremost, I wanted to thank you for such an amazing trip that you arrainged for me and my girlfriend. From A to Z you didn't spare any expense and made our trip the most unforgettable experience of our lives. We were more than pleased with every aspect of our trip and came home gushing about Greece and the warmth of the people your country inhabits and the incredible sights and history your country beholds. We have developed SO many pictures already and have shown all of our friends and family members of the wonderful islands and unforgettable historic landmarks. Everyone came away awestruck. And I honestly think I have convinced a few of my friends and co-workers to come visit Greece in the next year or two....and to be completely honest, I am thinking about saving my money up for another trip back as well. But all in all, I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us the trip of a lifetime. I have already recommended Fantasy Travel, and you in particular, to everyone who is thinking about visiting Greece. Believe me, we have become the poster boy and girl for Greece promotion back here in the States. Don't be surprised if I drop you another email over the winter asking you for some prices to island hop again, we are that in love with your country and really itching to come back. So again, thank you for EVERYTHING you have done for us to make our trip the best vacation yet. Please forward this on to your boss so he knows what a great job you are doing day in and day out for people like myself. Best of luck, and I hope we have a reason to contact you again! Scott and Mary Ann

I write to today to tell you what a pleasure it was to work with you in arranging our very successful visit in your country. Your professionalism and warmth in all our dealings made the experience so rewarding in many ways, and we all thank you for all you did and are. You truly made our vacation worry-free and I feel you understood our expectations completely and followed through with plans that made it a memorable visit for all of us. I also write to provide some feedback on our itinerary, as I imagine it is important for you to know, from a customer's perspective, how we found accommodations and services you arranged. So...briefly, here goes: Our initial arrivals in Athens (both for Winnie and then for Steve and me) were tremendously smooth and on-target. Your rep was waiting for us, as promised, and was friendly, caring and very helpful, which is so important, especially for those of us who are traveling to a country where we do not speak the language and are arriving tired and anxious. She made our transfer to the Aegean flight smooth and worry-free. Throughout the entire visit, all the pre-arranged taxi drivers, as well, were on time and waiting and very courteous. When we arrived in Hiraklion, the Thrifty rep was right there, waiting and it was really great to have the car at the airport, and an agent waiting with the paperwork so we could get right on our way. He even led us to our hotel, so we didn't get lost that first evening in the dark. On the other end of the Crete voyage, in Chania, it was really great to simply park the car in the airport lot, hand the ticket to the parking agent and walk away, knowing all would be handled for us. We were really impressed with the whole car-rental experience. The Megaron Hotel in Hiraklion was magnificent. The hotel was beautiful and the room was truly spectacular, with views as promised. The staff there were professional, helpful, friendly and right there when we needed them. I have never seen such a stupendous breakfast buffet! We found the location of the Veneto in Rethymno really unique and special. Walking in the front door was a real treat and the public areas of the place had an ambiance of history and beauty. The rooms were quaint and clean and comfortable enough, though no comparison to the public areas of the hotel. We felt the hotel sacrificed some level of real comfort in our rooms in order to use antique furniture (there was no place to sit comfortably to read, etc). The staff were kind enough to us. Our real issue with the Veneto was that there was no way to have breakfast, or even coffee, before 10:00 AM! We were able to negotiate them to 9:30, but for travelers, it is important to start the day early to get in as much flavor of the location as possible. With such a late breakfast, getting out of the hotel before 11:00 AM was impossible and those are wasted hours for we tourists. Each morning, I went out, walked several blocks and brought take-out coffee back for the three of us. I was surprised there were no coffee-making facilities in the room given there was a kitchenette. None of this, though, was enough to make us feel like it spoiled the visit. The Hotel Porto Veneziano, in Chania, was really very nice, with a spectacular location, right on the beautiful harbor. As promised, we had a waterfront room, overlooking a bay full of sailboats with the breaker in the background. In the distance, the waves crashed and we could hear them when our windows were open. The staff were professional and attentive, as well, recommending great restaurants and directions to find them and we truly enjoyed our stay. Good, hearty breakfast buffet. In Athens, the Hotel Electra Palace was a beautiful place to end our holiday. After their initial attempt to sneak us into a partial-view room, the Hotel staff moved us while we were out the next day we were enthralled with our new room and terrace overlooking the magnificent Acropolis! The staff were very helpful in correcting the initial mix-up. Again, a very hearty and impressive breakfast buffet. I have to comment, though, that the hotel's Internet access was nearly worthless and I wasted 12 Euros on it. It was tremendously slow, when it worked at all, and the staff seemed to have no knowledge of the problem or how to correct it. Our tour to Delphi was a show-stopper (I am sure you have heard that before!). G.O. Tours really did a wonderful job. Our tour guide, Fay, was very educational in her wonderful tour explanations and one did not want to miss a word of what she said. She knew her history, to be sure, and she elaborated on it to make it all understandable and relevant to each of us. Finally, our early morning taxi pick-up to meet our flight was (why am I not surprised?) on-time and comfortable. Dina, the trip is one we will never forget, in no small part due to your caring help in arranging everything to meet our needs and hopes. Though I have written a few less-than-positive comments in this email, please do not take these as anything more than honest feedback, in case it is useful for your business. Believe me, we loved our visit. And we truly loved working with you. We all wish you the best and look forward to our next communication. Mark (with grateful Steve and Winnie in tow)
All at Fantasy Travel, 25Sept2005 We would sincerely like to thank you and recommend Fantasy Travel to anyone wishing to travel to Greece. George, Vassilis, Christina (and many more whose names we forgot) made our first trip to Greece a Fantasy come true. Of course we a had a little skepticism using an overseas travel agent, but any worries we had were erased the second we landed in Athens. Christina (I believe was her name) and the driver picked us up at 02:30 (in the early morning) at Athens airport, greeted us like old friends and gave us all the travel documents as promised. Our numerous ferry trips, port and hotel transfers, hotel accommodations, meals, etc. were all better than promised. Again, the kindness and punctuality of everyone we dealt with was amazing. We loved Mykonos and Santorini, as well as our quick stay in Athens. We stayed in room #104 at the Princess of Mykonos......what a spectacular view and hotel (we highly recommend this room for the view)! We will never forget this trip and promise to return very soon. We will use Fantasy Travel again for booking our entire trip. Thank you again for the amazing service and professionalism. We have already recommended you to a few friends. See you soon! Thank you.............

I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that we loved your country, and all of the travel arrangements were just perfect. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and spoke English which made a our trip very enjoyable. Greece is a lovely country, and we are happy we had the opportunity to experience the sights, history and culture. Thank you for all of your work in coordinating this travel. You are a very good ambassador for your country, and I will certainly recommend you to any of my friends should the occasion arise. Best regards, Ricki Wilson Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2005 9:50 PM Kalimera! Just a quick note to say thank-you for helping make our Greek vacation wonderful! Although we saw only a little of your beautiful country (there's so much!), it was everything I'd hoped for. You took the hassle out of traveling from Athens to Santorini to Naxos to Athens by prearranging all the flights, ferries, and transfers to/from hotels. Patra - Thanks for all your hard work. Your hotel selections were great and your general advice was very much appreciated. Ria - Thanks for handling the last-minute changes after Delta got us to New York too late to make the Athens flight. Nelli - Thanks for your help at the airport on both ends of our trip, and for your wonderful smile. I would recommend Fantasy Travel to anyone planning a trip to Greece! Lisa R Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 3:43 AM Hello Dina I just wanted to send a quick thank you for all your help. I am back from Greece, and am already missing it SO much and cannot wait until next year to return. All of your suggestions and planning were perfect. Hotel Attalos as well as Hotel Adonis were perfect. Everything went so smoothly. Greece was more beautiful than we imagined. Thanks again and i look forward to dealing with you next summer!

We just returned and wanted to thank you for a wonderful trip! We've never enjoyed such service before: being met by you or your partners everywhere and immediately taken to our hotel. It was wonderful to arrive in Athens at 2:30 a.m. feeling exhausted and have someone there to greet us and arrange for our taxis to the hotel! And to arrive at the hot, crowded harbor on Santorini and be greeted with someone holding a placque with our name and immediately driven to our hotel. We also wanted you to know that the Ganimede Hotel in Galaxidi is great. It's a short drive outside of Delphi and has a lovely vine-covered courtyard where the owners grow peppers, pomegranates and beatiful flowers and serve a great breakfast (a variety of fruits, including kiwi and plums, lemon cake with lemon curd, chocolate cake, breads, jams such as fig and chunky orange marmelade, homemade chutney, delicious scrambled eggs). We had a big maisonette, overlooking the courtyard. It was also nice to have restaurants where we could sit outside looking at the harbor and enjoy foods not on the usual tourist menu (beets, broccoli, risotto with mussels). We also loved the Volcano View Hotel on Santorini (breathtaking!) and the Ilion Suites in Nafplio (although this hotel is on a tiny, hidden street and we found it only after a police officer gave us clear directions). Again, thank you so much! Barbara McFarland Hi Matt. Like many others I found your site while researching my trip to Greece. It was very, very helpful thanks a million. One of the most wonderful things was using Fantasy Travel. I dealt with Dina, and she was amazing. I emailed her with an itinerary and names of hotels I had checked out, and we emailed furiously back and forth till she got it all set up for me. I had a week in Athens and 4 days on each of Crete, Santorini, Naxos and Mykonos. As I was leaving Australia 3 weeks before landing in Athens on Sept 27 it was great to be able to leave the ferry bookings in her capable hands. It wasn’t possible to book that far in advance and I wanted it sorted before I got there. I believe it cost me no more than doing it myself, and saved me a lot of aggravation. While in Athens I called in to meet the wonderful Dina, and she was just as delightful in person as on the email. Thanks again Regards Lyn Dear Litsa, Hi Patra, To: Dina Subject: Re: fantasy travel
Everett Dear George, A quick word to thank you for arranging the visit to Volcano View Villas for us over Easter (our Easter not Greek Easter!). As you rightly said, it is a wonderful place and very hard to tear oursleves away at the end of the three days. You may remember that we were the couple that wanted to go to Siros and Naxos but thankfully you persuaded us otherwise! I should also add that we got fantastic service and help from Nick Dinos at the villas on Santorini. It seemed like nothing was too much trouble for Nick and it really helped to make the visit a very pleasant one for us. One of these days we hope to return to the Greek islands - including Santorini again! Best regards. David and Patricia

people that helped us were friendly and accomadating. Thank you so much for
recommending Naxos to us- it was our favorite part of the trip and we can't wait

Thanks for a great job helping with all the arrangements! I definitely want to come back to Greece and see some more islands.

Hello Litsa and Fantasy Travel,
Thank you so much for setting up our Greece vacation! Erroll and I were a little nervous as we had little knowledge of Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini, and were hoping for the best since this is our first time not planning the trip ourselves. We couldn't have been happier with our accomodations, and the scheduling of transfers was perfectly on time... every time!
Thank you again, and we will certainly recommend Fantasy Travel to our friends!
Laura K Dina - Hi Eleni! I just had to write to let you know how much we enjoyed our trip to Mykonos, Santorini, Crete and Athens! Thanks to you, everything worked out perfectly. It was so nice not having to worry about getting to our hotels once we made it to an island, or worrying about fast boat schedules or flights or anything! Everything was so well planned . . . and the companies that Fantasy works with on the various islands are very good as well. It was definitely one of the most relaxing vacations I have ever had. The Hotel Petasos Beach on Mykonos was everyone's favorite . . . the location was great, the staff so friendly, and the rooms were so nice. I think we had brand new upgraded rooms because there were a few minor problems the first night, but they were resolved very quickly and it was fantastic. The view from Caldera's Lillium Villas on Santorini was amazing! And the staff there was very friendly as well . . . Maria was a big help as we ended up renting cars and she handled that for us. The Pantheon Palace was fine . . . it wasn't as nice as the other island hotels, but it was clean and had a beautiful view. The location was good as we were able to get to both Hania and Ag. Nikolaos. But just mostly stayed at the beach and tavernas right there in Gouves as we were really lazy! Hotel Plaka was in a great location as well! It was great being right there in what seemed to be the heart of the city, with a beautiful view of the Parthenon. I really just wanted to say thank you for the work you did for us . . . it was a wonderful vacation! I've sent your name to a friend of mine who wants to take her family to Greece next year so if you hear from Nancy Gunning, tell her I said hello! I will most definitely recommend you to anyone travelling to your beautiful country. I loved Greece so much when I was there nearly 20 years ago and was worried I'd be disappointed . . . but not even close!! It was better than I remember. I'll be back! Sincerely, Ginny S Dear Litsa, Dear Litsa, I just want to thank you for all of your wonderful help making our trip to Greece such a success! It was so nice not to have to worry about anything and all of the arrangements you made turned out very well. We decided to stay in Athens our last day and shop rather than try for Hydra, so now I have an excuse to return sometime and see it. You did a great job - Many Thanks again - Jane Hi Litsa !!! I just wanted to say that my honeymoon was a dream come true.....Thank YOU SO MUCH for all of your help. Every place that we went to was just wonderful, and the staff at the hotels were extra nice. Everything was clear and understandle and very organized. My new husband and I wanted to extend our greatest THANKS to you for planning this wonderful honeymoon for us !!! I will send you a picture of us so that you can know who we are :) Thank You again, Val M Dear Fantasy Travel.
Matt, just wanted
to let you know we absolutely LOVED our trip to Greece...your site was by far
the most helpful, and your emails in response to mine (way back in May and June 2007)
were much appreciated.
We booked an Athens
package with Petra from Fantasy Travel, and she was SO patient with my myriad
questions. That worked out wonderfully, and the Arion Hotel (around the corner
from Attalos) was a gem. We would stay there again in a heartbeat. Being on the
edge of the Psiri (sp?) district was a delightful find...have you been to
Gelatomania? WOW!!
We took the train
(buying the tickets was an EXPERIENCE) to Thessaloniki, and fell in love with
the city. Our hotel was the Egnatia (not the Egnatia Palace) on Antigonidon St.
Fabulous. Again - we'd stay there in a heartbeat - loved everything except the
peculiar and totally annoying very loud techno pop music they played in the
breakfast room. We did get them to turn it down/off. Great location for us.
Walked up to the Ano Poli district on our last morning. Sat at the harbor over
drinks and people-watched. Great fun.
Petra booked
flights for us from Thess. to Lesvos, then back to Athens for a final night,
hotel Arion again. We were enchanted with Lesvos - stayed at the Nassos
Guesthouse. Except for the first night when I sat on the bed and it broke into
splinters, all was great. I quoted your site so often my nephew said, "You know,
I'm kinda sick of hearing about Matt and Matt's site." :)
It was a great trip
- hot hot hot...but no forest fires. We'd go back tomorrow, and can't wait to do
so. Thanks again for your advice. Hope to meet you sometime - Nancy Allred says
she's going to get us together!
Regards,
Ailsa
Dina, We are back from our wonderful trip to Greece and I just wanted to thank you for helping to make everything go so smoothly. It can be a little overwhelming being in a completely foreign place but you and the rest of the Fantasy travel people who helped us (Dulce was right on time and very nice/helpful as was the other woman who helped us with departure) made it a very pleasant and easy experience. Thank you so much for all your help. It was invaluable in making our trip a great experience. I would unconditionally recommend you and your agency to anyone traveling to Greece.

Mike and I just wanted to say thank you for all your help with our trip to your beautiful country. It was so organized – (the girl that met us at the airport was so sweet). Everything went so smoothly and everyone was so nice. Like you said, the weather was a bit cool and windy, but going in the off-season had its advantages. Hotel Tharroe in Mykonos gave us their nicest room with such a beautiful view. It was right over the pool. They were also very accommodating and helpful in every way. Aside from me getting sea sick on the ferry over to Mykonos AND Santorini, it was a great way to see the islands. The 50 minute flight back to Athens from Santorini was much better, but I’m glad we took the ferry. I wasn’t the only one getting sick. It was just so windy -- those waves were huge! And then there was Hotel Katikies, which I’m not sure words can describe. Once again, with it being the off-season, they gave us a great room, which happened to be the Honeymoon Suite! It had its own hot tub and upstairs bedroom and the view was just out of this world! I would recommend it to anyone and everyone that went there. The staff was excellent. The service was excellent, and the view was breathtaking. Thanks again for helping us with this great vacation. We both agreed it was #1 on our vacation list. I’m not sure we’ll ever be able to top it. I will definitely recommend your services if the situation arises. Warmest regards, Michelle Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2006 1:21 AM Subject: Our trip to Santorini in September
Hello Patra,
How are you? Still very busy or has the season eased down a bit?
Why I'm writing to you: We wanted to say a big "Thank you very much!" for arranging everything so perfectly for us!!! There was not one instant where we were got stranded or a transfer not working 100%. That's really amazing. :-) Also, both hotels (Athens Plaza & Majestic) were just great for us and in the best possible locations. And don't let me start with the tasty Greek food! So tasty and delicious... :-)
We wish you and your family and the Fantasy Travel team a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We had a great time, Greece is beautiful. Thanks, Last month, my sister and two friends and I returned from a wonderful three weeks in Greece. Wanted to let you know that we took your advice and contacted Fantasy Travel in Athens. Dina, at Fantasy Travel, worked with us - doing hotel reservations, tour bookings, meet and greet at the airport - a few times more than we thought - since she helped us get around during the taxi strikes throughout our visit. We were so pleased with her work that we made it a point to get some flowers and track her down to thank her personally. Thanks for your recommendation - she was a real find for us and one that we wouldn't hesitate to recommend to any of our friends who are lucky enough to be traveling to Greece in the future. Sallie Walters Hello Matt Barrett, Dear Vassilis: You and the staff of Fantasy Travel must have degrees in the Art of Persuasion and Greek people must be sensitive and caring people. I hope I get to meet you all and give you hugs when I get there. Thank you so much for all your hard work; Matt Barrett was right when he said he thought the folks at FT were the best; I could not agree more. I will recommend you to all my traveling friends coming your way and I will be talking to you very soon to re-plan my trip . Oh--if you go to my magazine's web site--www.kleosmagazine.com, you will find me and what I do here in Virginia. Love to you all, Deb Eleni, Greece (and Turkey) were wonderful.

Hi Dina. I just wanted to write you a quick note and thank you for everything. We had a WONDERFUL time on our honeymoon in Greece. What a beautiful place! Everything went exactly as planned and everyone you arranged to meet and/or transfer us was polite and professional (and on time!). We didn't have to worry about a thing. I have to admit, I was a little bit nervous about going with an overseas company to arrange our travel, but I should not have been. You guys are great. I will recommend you wholeheartedly to anyone I know traveling to Greece in the future. Thanks again!

Dear Litsa,
Ever since we arrived from our vacation in Greece, we've been working and biz traveling like crazy.
I still didn't want to forget to thank you, your team and your partner agencies for making our trip so enjoyable! We loved every hotel, every location, everything was perfectly on time, all was fabulous! We absolutely loved it and want to go back to visit a few of the many great locations.
Thank you very much and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the year!
Lida Lensch Hi Dina I just wanted to thank you for all your help in planning our holiday we had a truly wonderful time. Your careful planning with regards to making sure that everything we wanted to do fitted within our limited budget was greatly appreciated. We are both having a tough time trying to get back into 'work mode' after our incredible holiday. We were only gone for two weeks but we felt like we'd been away for six months - definately a sign that you've had a fabulous break! We loved Greece - particularly the Volcano View Villas Hotel and Santorini. Paros, Naxos, Athens and Meteora were also excellent. I would definately like to return to Greece in the future and would not hesitate to use your agency again. I would recommend your agency without hesitation to any friends that also wish to go in the future. Thank you for your excellent service and professionalism. Have a wonderful day.
Best regards Hi Dina, I don’t know if you remember but you helped schedule a trip to Greece for my wife and me in May. In fact, it was our honeymoon. I just wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic visit and it was due, in large part, to you and Fantasy Travel. Our plans all went off without a hitch and our accomodations were quite good. In particular, we really enjoyed the Volcano View hotel and the Porto Veneziano. Thank you so much for making our honeymoon truly memorable and a trip which helped us in starting our marriage in all the right ways. Best wishes to you and the staff at Fantasy Travel. Sincerely yours, Ken Dina, We can’t thank you enough for putting together what was truly a wonderful trip. Everything worked out perfectly. The hotels were great, the towns were breathtaking and importantly the logistics worked flawlessly. We had a ball. Great place, great food and great company. The proprietors of the Villa Andromeda were especially accommodating, changing our room for one with a better view and advising us on a great beach and a great special restaurant where the locals go. And between Santorini and Crete, sunsets will never be the same. We celebrated them each and every night with a bottle of local wine, pistachios, olives and some cheese on our hotel balconies before heading out to dinner. I have sung your praises to everyone who’s asked about the trip and told them not to plan a trip to Greece without you! Anyway, thanks again for a truly memorable experience. We couldn’t have done it without you and your associates. Very sincerely, Denise Sent: Saturday, October 14, 2006 11:54 PM Subject: Thank you
Eleni - I want to thank you for your help with our trip to Greece. Everything went beautifully - even with the demonstration in Syntagma Square when we arrived in Athens from Santorini. Christina led us through the Metro and across the Square ( right through the demonstrators) to our hotel with no problems. I realized after that how essential using your agency had been for us. Without your help, we would have not had any idea how to navigate the demonstration. Christina was very personable and professional and it was so nice to have someone waiting for us everytime we arrived or left a destination. Greece was very beautiful and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. The only small hitch was that the car was not ready for us on Santorini on the evening of our arrival - but was delivered the next morning as promised. My husband was very surprised and excited by the SMART car and we both enjoyed being able to explore the island on our own. I would highly recommend your agency and would be happy to share our experience with any prospective travelers that might like a personal recommendation. I will definitely save your email address for the next time we travel to Greece. Regards - Kathryn and Dennis
I stopped by Fantasy Travel one day while we were in Athens. It was Sunday, you weren't there and I found out that you would be in a class the following week, so I would miss you and wouldn't be able to thank you personally. The trip was truly magnificent. My Aunt had lived in Greece in the 1960s and Santorini was her favorite Island. It was so much fun taking pictures for her while I was there. She just turned 90, so it was especially nice to see Santorini for her. I think my favorite Island for relaxing in the post tourist season, was Mykonos, Santorini for it's spectacular views, Crete for it's earthy music and style and Athens for it's remarkable history and architectural beauty. I want to thank you for the exceptional planning and detailed care you took in our arrangements. We were so happily surprised to be met at the airports, boat docks and hotels through out our trip. Dulce and Nicko were wonderful and our connections and greeters in Mykonos, Santorini and Crete very friendly, helpful and kind as well. This trip could never have been as enjoyable or affordable without your expertise and attention.

Greece was absolutely FABULOUS and again, I can't thank you enough for all your help. Every hotel room had a FANTASTIC view! EVERY one! We were quite surprised (and happy) that we found ourselves to be quite alone at many of the major places. Hardly any people around! Corinth, Olympia, even the Acropolis. Only Mycenae and Delphi had some tours come through. My favorite place.... Monemvasia. How perfect an ancient walled city! Again, no one around. Unfortunately, we were there only 32 hours. And the room you had booked us at hotel Kellia... was a whole building by itself! Gus, the proprietor was great. I'm absolutely thrilled with the photos that I preserved. They will provide much inspiration for my artwork. I'd love to share my whole album with you but will send you a few photos. I've got about 1100! We will be contacting you when we start planning our Egypt trip for next spring.

Hi Dina, This email is so overdue!!! sorry. We just wanted to say thankyou so very, very much for all you did to make our trip to Greece last October so perfect. Our accomodation at The Adrian in Athens, The Mediterrian in Rhodes & especially the Volcano View in Santorini (oh... most especially) was wonderful. Our tour to The Meteoras was unforgettable (& the accomodation was beautiful). Everyone we came in touch with was so kind & helpful... our memories are still so fresh in our minds, we don't need to look at our photos, but with them we're able to show our friends what a beaultiful country you have. We've told anyone who says they're planning to visit Greece, to email Dina at Fantasy Travel. Your knowledge, your recommendations, your beautiful, bright & happy personality made our trip absolutely wonderful. Dina you're an asset to Fantasy Travel & tell your boss you're worth more money!!
Again, thankyou so very much.

Our trip went along flawlessly. We were very impressed that you always had someone waiting at all the transfer points as we got off the plane or boat or came down from our hotel room. You and your agency did a magnificent job in arranging for these transfers. I am especially thankful for your being able to switch the hotels in Athens. The Electra Palace was much more suitable for us. We had a wonderful time in Greece; we saw many faces of Greece - the ancient archeological sites, the City of Athens, the Greek Islands; I got to swim in both the Ionian and Aegean Seas; and I got to meet Nadia. This was my first experience planning a trip over the internet and it turned out to be a great experience. I will do it again, thanks to you. I understand that your agency, and perhaps you, plan trips to Turkey. We are thinking about going there in 2003, so if you have any suggestions, please e-mail or fax them to me. Again, thank you for your assistance. If I hear of anyone planning to go to Greece, I will surely recommend you and Fantasy Travel to them. ROGER WALSH Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2005 2:40 AM
I just wanted to write you and thank you for everything. Our honeymoon was a dream......thanks in part to you. Everything was so wonderfully organized and we didn't have to worry about a thing. It was very comforting having someone to meet us as we arrived in each location and everybody was so helpful and friendly. As far as the hotel we stayed at, they all get an A+++++++++++++ The Mykonos Grand was fabulous. What a nice luxury hotel. The view from our balcony was beautiful. The pool was great and the staff attended to our every need. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others. In Naxos, The Villa Mirandi was just what we needed. After going through the hustle and bustle of Mykonos, we were ready to relax and this was just the place to do it. The hotel was very cozy and our apartment was perfect. It was a nice small, quaint hotel. There were quite a few honeymoon couples there. And once again the staff was extra friendly. Thanks so much for recommending this place. It was probably our favorite island of the 3. Finally in Santorini, Sunrocks hotel was a honeymooners paradise. It seemed like we had the best view on the entire island. The service was impeccable and the private dinner that they served to us in the private restaurant was probably the best dining experience we've ever had. So, again...........Thank you so much for everything. It was a pleasure working with you and we will keep you in mind if we ever travel back to Greece again, which I'm sure we will.

Terry and I want to thank you, Fantasy Travel, and everyone who was involved with our trip. At every stop, agents were waiting to take care of us. Everyone we dealt with was very hospitable and accommodating. The hotels you set up for us were fantastic, as were the islands you suggested. We enjoyed ourselves immensely, and are planning on visiting Greece again. We have spread the wonderful word of your services to friends and family. We had a "fantasy vacation" for our 25th wedding anniversary and want to thank you very much for the attention to detail and wonderful service you offer. Sincerely, Terry and Skip Rosen Sent: Friday, September 09, 2005 6:30 PM hi dina, Dear Nadia, It has taken me longer than I had wanted to send you another email. Myself and Alexandre wanted to send you many thanks for all the time, advice, and effort you had put towards our Greece trip. We had a wonderful time and definitely plan to visit Greece again in the future. We really loved all the hotels, the islands, and the service we received through your company. It really made our trip effortless and and full of good memories. Further, thanks you so much for your help in booking us a beach front property for those last days in Greece (at very short notice). The hotel we were in was very nice and (you may hvae already known this), we were quite pleasantly surprised to have been upgraded to a room with our own private pool........a great way to end the trip. So, once again, many thanks for all you did for us. Your company is extremely fortunate to have such a wonderful and professional representative. I have already passed along yours and Fantasy Travels' name to some friends interested in travelling Greece. Take care of yourself and hope to do business with you again in the future if we ever head back towards Greece. Sincerely , Nori and Alexandre Dear Friends
