Athens Naxos Syros Mykonos
We had a fabulous holiday in every respect.
Thank you both so much for all your input, from the initial ideas as to which islands to visit ( and your suggestions were perfect ) to the choices of hotels and the arrangement of flights, ferries and transfers. Everything ran so smoothly despite the best efforts of the Greek sailing unions.
You obviously have a close relationship with all the hotels and we were made to feel very important guests.

The main thing to say is "Thank You".
From our initial contact, you have been brilliant at communicating, and very responsive. This was a new adventure for us and a special occasion (anniversary), and the way you tailored the experience, recognised and met our needs, and managed all the logistics were exemplary.
Even two ferry strikes during our holiday couldn't put you off your stride; you managed the changes necessary seamlessly and kept us informed all the way.

We had a wonderful holiday and loved every bit of it. Thank you both for putting it together. The plan including, the number of days on each island, was just right although we felt maybe we could have had one more day in Athens.
We found the autumn weather particularly nice. We could not have done it in the heat of the summer.
We look forward to our next island hopping with you.

Thank you so much. We had a great trip to Delos yesterday evening. Wonderful guide. (Slightly bumpy ride on the return boat trip!!) Both hotels were excellent. Argo especially attentive and caring. I’m sure we’ll be getting back in touch about another holiday.

We were 100% happy with the level of service we received from Astraeus. All the arrangements were perfect (with the exception of the a delay). Really great that you kept in contact with us at each stage of our holiday to ensure we were having a great time. That was very much appreciated. We will definitely be booking with you again!! Thank you for an amazing holiday.

Having set about trying to arrange this island hopping odyssey ourselves, and getting into a terrible muddle with trying to choose which islands to include, finding accommodation and then co-ordinating ferry times etc it was such a relief to hand all the organisation over to Rachel and Brian who were excellent. Throughout our eighteen day journey all the travel and accommodation arrangements worked seamlessly and Rachel was meticulous at checking in on us the day before moving on to make sure we had ferry tickets etc and was always at the end of WhatsApp if any problems arose (which they didn't!). We can't thank you both enough.

Syros
Was a very easy booking process and location was exactly as requested. We would never have picked Syros as the other operator that we used does not offer it specifically.

Once again, you were both very helpful and the holiday was impeccably organised, with a very bespoke feel to it. We were very grateful and impressed by your response to helping my wife return home early due to a family emergency. You wouldn’t get such responsiveness from a large tour operator.

There was never anything too much for Rachel and Brian- our holiday was perfectly planned from the moment I first contacted them. All of our hotels were wonderful, the transfers were booked and planned so we had plenty of information on what to expect at each hotel and ferry port and we were given so many tips and local information about each resort/ hotel we visited. The hotels we visited on the Islands were exactly what I wanted and needed for a relaxing holiday and Rachel was always contactable if I had any queries. The most perfect holiday for myself and my daughter (age 14). I well definitely be using Astreaus again for my next trip to Greece.

This is the second time we have used Astraeus Holidays. We really appreciate the personal touch to our itinerary. Confidence in the knowledge that Rachel and Brian have built up around the Cyclades from ferries to transfers and trips to hotels and eating and drinking suggestions many if not all of which will have been personally visited by them.
I can’t recommend them enough and would suggest anyone considering a visit to the Cyclades and some Island hopping to open up a conversation with Astraeus Holidays.
Thank you once again both!

We really appreciated Rachel's guidance in helping us choose our 10 day holiday on 2 islands. Very quick to respond to our queries. We had a detailed itinerary. It was great having the assurance that we could contact Rachel and Brian for help, and that they would not be too far away. As it happens everything went really smoothly. We enjoyed professional and personal service.

We thoroughly enjoyed the holiday and your organisation has been excellent - all transfer people turning up on time and very polite etc. The hotels were all outstanding in their own way, and each island having their own charm.
the ferry from Koufounisia was a but on the rough side but we survived !

In the planning stage, our outline requests and preferences were positively taken into account and then we were given several choices of islands and hotels (all of which Rachel and Brian had personally experienced, so we were confident that they would be good). The information provided was full of detail, which helped us with our choices.
Once on the holiday, Rachel kept in touch via WhatsApp to ensure we had no issues - very reassuring, They even briefly met up with us on our arrival at Syros!

Rachel and Brian put in a great deal of effort to ensure that they put together just the right package to suit our needs. Their recommended accommodation is very well researched and high quality and carefully selected to fit our requirements. A slight hiccup this time caused by a taxi strike was resolved in minutes which was amazing .

Very well organised from beginning to end, communication good from first enquiry to leaving where Rachel accompanied us on the ferry to Tinos and waited for our connecting ferry to Rafina. Would highly recommend Astraeus.

We had a wonderful holiday this September, in great part due to the expertise and organisational skills of Rachel and Brian at Astraeus Holidays. From the moment we inquired to the moment we finished our holiday, they were informative, interesting, knowledgeable and approachable. Never further than an email or WhatsApp away. Their suggestions for our island hopping trip were spot-on. They asked us the right questions and sourced accommodation and journeys tailor made to our answers.
We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending their services and will definitely use them again in the future. Thank you both so much.

To have arranged this holiday for us with such short notice, was nothing short of remarkable. Thank you.
The WhatsApp contact is a lovely personal touch. Although our ferries behaved themselves and were (almost) on time, knowing that help is at hand should we need it is very reassuring.

We have book our holidays in Greece with Brian and Rachel for the past 3 year. I cannot speak highly enough of their professional and efficient approach.
They arrange every detail, transfer, ferry tickets, accommodation along with plenty of advice and useful information.
This ensured our recent holiday, of 5 different destinations, was totally stress free and exciting.
We totally trust their advice and destination suggestions as we know it will be perfectly suited to us and if a high standard.
Rachel and Brian go out of their way to provide and personally and bespoke service and we now feel lucky enough to call them our friends.

Once again, we were really pleased that we chose Astraeus to organise our holiday. Carefully considered and well located hotels, ferries and transfers all organised: taking all the stress out of the proceedings. The personal touch is great: just getting a WhatsApp checking all is ok, and responding to any issue immediately. This is something a larger tour operator cannot replicate.

As usual, it was an incredibly well organised and very easy way to go island hopping. Interesting to visit a different group of Islands, but still found the Greek hospitality and relaxed approach to life which is so enjoyable.
To have you make the bookings, advise on the hotels and take the stress out of it is really great.
Yet again we wondered how you find these little gems of hotels, amongst all the options. All are different, but all are fab.

Wonderful holiday, perfectly organised from start to finish. Knowledgeable and friendly company with helpful suggestions when planning our trip. Everything was tailored to suit us. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends and family or rebook ourselves. Even went above and beyond when bad weather caused a ferry cancellation - looked after us perfectly, contacting us to inform of the disruption, organising accommodation and replacement ferry tickets at short notice. Cannot ask for more! :-)

Just wanted to say thankyou so much for all your help arranging our wonderful holiday.
Everything was better than expected.
Santorini was beautiful and the hotel was amazing, big hit with my girls.
Absolutely loved Paros, would definitely visit again. The hotel was lovely and chilled and the staff were so friendly, very personable.
Our boat ride to Mykonos was quite rough! Thankfully we are all seaworthy but a lot of people weren’t so lucky.
Girls loved Mykonos and would imagine they will revisit at some point.
Again, super hotel, great location.
One of the best holidays we’ve had.
