A Message from the President

Dear Traveler,

Since our founding in 1969, Homeric Tours has been providing travelers with the most memorable travel experiences in Greece. Over time, we have expanded our specialty to offer many types of travel arrangements – Independent Travel, Partially Escorted and Escorted tours – to Greece and its surrounding areas. Through the ever-changing travel industry, Homeric Tours has remained true to our founding principles of providing value and service unmatched anywhere.

Why book your vacation with Homeric Tours? For the security of knowing you have a partner nearby to ensure your satisfaction. Whether it is something as simple as notifying you of a schedule change on a flight,

re-routing an island hop due to weather, or recommending a favorite local spot, our travel specialists are ready to ensure a seamless experience for you and your travel companions. Unlike what will happen if you book your vacation components with separate companies online, you will never be on your own abroad. Homeric Tours representatives are always there for you.

This brochure includes our well-planned package itineraries that we have developed over the years. On an Independent itinerary you will be traveling mostly on your own but have the security of our staff behind the scenes to ensure the itinerary runs smoothly. On a Partially Escorted itinerary you will be with an escort for a portion of your trip. On our Escorted itineraries you will be accompanied by Homeric personnel or tour guides throughout.

If one of the itineraries in this brochure does not capture what you’re looking for, Homeric’s travel specialists will gladly customize an itinerary just for you. In addition to this brochure, I encourage you to take a look at our website, as we often have information relating to specials, new packages or general information relating to the destinations we serve.

Regardless of your travel needs, you will find the utmost in experience, service and value when working with Homeric Tours. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Nikos Tsakanikas

President

WHY HOMERIC TOURS IS YOURNO. 1 CHOICE TO GREECE . . .

Thanks, Greece was AMAZING!!! The views we got to see were incredible, Homeric was great and the hotels were perfect. San Marco on Mykonos was beautiful! Our room had the perfect view facing the ocean with a balcony right on the front. The dinners at their restaurant were also very good! Thanks again for your help. It was a really great honeymoon trip!!!

– Patrick & Laurie M., Sicklerville, NJ

I am certainly exhausted from such a magnificent trip. The happiness I feel is so worth it. You helped me fulfill my life’s dream of showing my children their roots and heritage. Homeric Tours guides met us everywhere and were excellent. They helped us and were quite friendly. Again, many thanks for all you have done for my family and me.

– Mary P., Pacifica, CA

My clients have returned from Greece with rave reviews for Homeric! Thank you again, for making me look so good!

– Pamela W., Travel Professional, Denver, CO

You did a fantastic job putting together my trip to Greece exactly the way I wanted. We had a fantastic time in Crete and in Santorini. My husband got to swim in the hot springs and we ate grilled octopus. We took a bus tour to Meteora, with a stop at the Oracle of Delphi. The Monasteries in Meteora were unbelievable! Sheer cliffs with monasteries right on the top. Then it was off to Mykonos. We took a boat tour to Delos. On the last day of our trip, we explored Athens. There is too much to see in one day, but we saw a lot! The trip was great and all of the tours were great! What more can I say? Thank you.

– Doris & Albert L., Miami, FL

We cannot thank you and the staff at Homeric Tours enough for the absolutely fabulous time we had on the Greek Islands tour! All the hotels were spectacular with gorgeous accommodations and truly attentive staff. All the guides were very knowledgeable, friendly with marvelous suggestions for things to do and places to visit. The drivers were always ready on time. It was truly a dream come true to experience such a beautiful, memorable time. We are recommending your company to anyone considering a trip.

– Ann & John M., Sandwich, MA My clients had a wonderful time in Greece. All the Homeric services were excellent. They were extremely happy with the Homeric people in Athens. There were not only nice and gracious but they also had a wealth of information on restaurants, what to see and do in Athens and the other islands. Thank you again for all your help!
