Policy regarding COVID-19

Updated Cancelation Policy due to Corona virus

Covid-19 pandemic has caused many problems to travelers, travel agents, hotels & villas. In order to avoid massive cancellations which would lead to serious liquidity problems, for the hotels / agents / airlines, and even bankruptcy , the Greek Government and many EU countries ( Germany , France etc. ) took some measures , creating a voucher system.

Businesses instead of refunding the money can issue a voucher of same value as the money paid from the costumer. This voucher has an 18 month duration. In this period the customer can use this voucher with the same business for rescheduling his vacation. If the customer does not use the voucher and the 18 months expire, the business is obliged to refund the money.

How to use your voucher 

• For cancellations between 60 and 0 days before arrival, you get a voucher which you can use in the next 18 months for making a new reservation at the same property.
• For Cancellations more than 60 days before arrival , you get a voucher which you can use in the next 18 months, for making a reservation through our platform for any property you like .
• Currency used for the ‘’voucher’’ is EURO

Cleaning services

• Pool cleaning will be provided as described in general terms, either very early in the morning or in hours where personal contact with guests will be avoided.
• Cleaning service( towels and linens change) must be provided the minimum possible if NOT at all. In this case general policy doesnot apply. In order for the owner to provide the cleaning service, the guest must provide a written request at least 2 days before the arrival day, taking in concern and at his own responsibility, the risks taken.

All properties and owners follow the necessary hygiene protocols as these are instructed from Greek governement and National Tourism Organisation.

All Protection measures and Cleaning services may change at any time and with no further notice, in order to be in line with new instructions and protocols that could be established from Greek Government or National Tourism Organisation
