Greece, Ticketing Information


In order to organise your holidays successfully it is necessary to have the right information on plane and ferry schedules to, from and between the islands and/or cities you want to visit. Our agency is located in Greece, the country you want to visit, and we are, therefore, much better able to give accurate information in a timely manner. Our ticketing department can provide you with:

  • Domestic Air Tickets "from" or "to" Athens, for any destination in Greece and with any airline (Olympic Airlines, Aegean Airlines...)
  • International Air Tickets "from" or "to" Greece, for all destinations and with any airline
  • Domestic ferry, high speed ferry/hydrofoil tickets from Piraeus to all destinations, and from certain islands to Piraeus, with all shipping companies (Hellenic Seaways - ex Hellas Flying Dolphins-, Blue Star Ferries, ANEK, Minoan, NEL...)
  • International Ferry Tickets to/from Italy (Minoan, Superfast, ANEK...)
