Ian Newton. Excellent as always.
Your help and support were second to none. I would highly recommend you and I have already suggested to friends to contact you
Craig was so helpful - really excellent service!
Highly recommend.
Hotel very tired - needs a complete revamp - staff lovely
Excellent service from Sean who made booking this holiday so easy and pleasant. The holiday was perfect - everything was beautiful and the complimentary upgrade of our hotel room was superb.
Fantastic service and support, thank you
The hotel was of a high standard and within our price bracket
Thank you Sadie. Another gold star!
Sean yet again recommended a fab hotel in Santorini. Had the best time on this beautiful island
Howard just knows what we like and delivers everything time!
Kylie found us the perfect holiday which had everything that we asked for. Will definitely book with Kylie again.
Great communication
Kylie never disappoints. Hotel was fantastic. Everything went smoothly.
Dennis Hollands always goes over and above to assist. I won’t use anyone else now!
Hotel lovely, went out for food a lot as same every night. Flights was delayed 1 and a half hours going out and 4 hours on return which was frustrating
Jamal Sylvester was outstanding and more than delivered my expectations. I’ve worked in customer service for decades and his approach, kindness and eager to assist is such a credit to the company. Will definitely be working with him in future. Amazing job.
Prompt reply to queries, even when staff are out of the office, emails are still picked up and replied to promptly
Des Wing did a great job again and thanks to Philippa for checking up on us the day before we flew!
Another great trip, thanks guys.
Just returned from Ikos Dassia with all our family and Orlando delivered so a big thank you for making our family holiday amazing
Everything went smoothly and within promised timelines. The private transfers were excellent. We had an added bonus of a history lesson on Crete during WW2 from the driver on the return trip, which we found fascinating.
Thanks again to Gary Patel, who went out of his way to help when our plans had to be adapted.

Worth noting that for the accommodation we stayed in ( 'Dessiterra Resorts' Santorini), there is no way to access the town (or anywhere nearby) without using the resort transport which is a minimum of £25 Euros each way (to the nearest town Thira). This was more if you went further.
As always my experience using DialAFlight has been excellent with no hiccups. I have used Robbie for a number of years and he delivered every time, however other members of the team are always happy to assist as did Zac when I needed assistance whilst away. Flights and hotels booked via DialAFlight make life so easy and the price is not reflected of the service they provide. Why go through the hassle of trying to find flights and hotels when these guys do it all just as cheap.
Will be in contact soon to book next year’s holiday.
This was not my most challenging trip but, as always, you made all the arrangements, and it worked perfectly without any hitch.
Cameron Bleasdale is fantastic, a perfect travel agent, thorough and meticulous. I have recommended him to multiple friends.
Graham is always brilliant
Luscious, seductive and the sun is always shining. That's the way Corfu is depicted in ITV's charming new drama, The Durrells.
What's more, the island is teeming with snakes and tortoises, and there are quaint tavernas filled with boisterous locals beneath olive groves on the edge of sparkling, cerulean seas.
But does the pristine, pre-war vision bear any relation to present-day reality?
Corfu certainly suffered some overdevelopment in the tourism boom of the Sixties, but it still offers opportunity for a host of authentic Durrell-esque experiences, and a whole lot more besides…
In the footsteps of The Durrells
In 1935, the dysfunctional Durrell family – pretentious twentysomething novelist Lawrence, gun-crazy second son Leslie, man-hungry teenager Margo and animal-loving Gerald (who grew up to be the conservationist and author of My Family And Other Animals, based on his time on the island) – upped sticks from chilly England, led by their long-suffering mother, and settled near Corfu Town.
For a similarly idyllic location, your best bet is to visit the pretty north-east corner, where The Durrells was filmed. The lovely bay of San Stefano is a perennial favourite with British holidaymakers. Or you could even stay in the apartments at the atmospheric White House in nearby Kalami, where Lawrence wrote.
Animal magic
If you're keen to catch sight of a few tortoises of the kind that fascinated young Gerald, visit in late June when they're at their most active. Hiring a motorboat is a must. You could even spot a pod of dolphins, or even a ponderous sea-turtle.
Discover Margo's bay
One of the island's prettiest spots for dropping anchor and having a swim is the tiny bay that hosts a little stone shrine to St Arsenios, just south of Agni Bay. If you search, you'll find a sea-level cave there.
It's a shimmering chamber accessed by a corridor in the rock, with a separate underwater exit for the adventurous. Climb up to the shrine, too, for a look.
Water parks for children
Corfu has several fantastic waterparks, including the mighty Aqualand near Corfu Town (two-day tickets cost £20 for children, £28 for adults, aqualand-corfu.com).
A jewel of a town
Too many people leave this isle without ever discovering Corfu Town. This jewel is a unique blend of cultures, which pay testament to the nations that have controlled it during its multifarious history.
Where else in Europe can you find a British cricket pitch, in front of a French colonnade of cafes, which gives way to crumbling Italian architecture?
Climb to the top of the Old Fort and enjoy the magnificent view over the town's ramshackle rooftops. Afterwards, visit the blackened remains of St Spyridon, Corfu's patron saint, in the church that bears his name.
But the best thing to do in Corfu Town is simply to explore the endless narrow winding streets, housing lovely little bars and shops.
Dine out in style
The finest restaurant in Corfu is the recently re-opened Venetian Well in Corfu Town, hidden among the back streets. It's pricier than most places, but worth the stretch.
And don't miss...
Try to visit Angelokastro, a Byzantine derelict castle on the west coast near Paleokastritsa.
Scan the sea below for rocks in the shape of ships; legend has it that the sea-god Poseidon punished the locals for helping his enemy Odysseus by petrifying one of their vessels.
