Gino and Amy were so helpful! We had to move flights and at one point thought we couldn’t go. The holiday was fab and I will continue to book through DialAFlight. Thanks guys!
Matt Power excellent as usual! DialAFlight never fails
Jamie Foskin provided us with a fantastic service. Booking information received in very good time. The recommended holiday destination was first class. We had an extremely enjoyable holiday and would have no hesitation in booking through DialAflight in the future.
Roy Copeland is professional, helpful, friendly and one of the main reasons we keep coming back to DialAFlight
Very responsive from the outset; quick to provide documents and responses to questions. Would definitely recommend. Thanks to Teddy and Les for making it all run smoothly
Gino is simply the best - he is my go to person for any holiday. Efficient, client focused and genuine. Already recommended him to friends
Excellent service from Taylor. Organisation was perfect and ran smoothly as usual.
Simon Pitman came to our rescue when our holiday package with another company was cancelled 4 days before we were due to go. He succeeded in securing flights and accommodation to reinstate our family holiday to Greece. Wonderful service
Eve was fabulous - she absolutely matched what I was looking for in a holiday to the resort and we had a wonderful time.
Abi was brilliant
Abbie was great, kept us updated at all times
Abi was great and went over and above to answer queries and ensure we had a wonderful holiday
You always come up with what we want and the flights you found for Thessaloniki were so much cheaper than those for others on our trip
Another great holiday organised by Stacey at DialAFlight. Outstanding hotel and everything went smoothly.
Fantastic service from Dexter. Wonderful holiday. They gave me a lot of help when I struggled with government forms
As always everything was excellent! Can’t wait for our next trip, completely forgot about Covid as everything went to smoothly.
Declan was a pleasure to book a holiday with - so helpful in every way
Blake took care of everything from start to finish. From meeting our holiday requirements with the hotel, location and COVID-19 advice, right up to before we left. We’ll definitely be using him again!
Very helpful, reassuring and supportive at every step. Very helpful app
Amazing service from DialAFlight. A big thank you to Roray for recommending such a fab hotel and resort!
Dale is superb and helped enormously when the BA strike days were announced making all the necessary changes. I recommend him to everyone.
Another flawless trip
Thank you to Otis for being so kind and professional as always
Thanks Dexter. Sani Beach a really great resort. Best keep it a secret, OK.
Great holiday all set up nicely by yourselves, will be back to book with you again soon. Thanks.
Michael was excellent - especially advising to book restaurants beforehand
Only thing to be added to the itinerary would be the pick up time the transfer taxi will be at the hotel for the trip back to the airport.
Brilliant as always.
Thanks for your reassuring support on the phone when I was concerned about procedures and paper documents which you kindly sent by post.
Been booking my holidays for 20 years with Jack it’s like we are one, he always knows what I like, what a guy.
Immediately after winning the Great British Bake Off, I escaped to the delightful Greek island of Kefalonia to kick back after such a hectic time in the tent.
I can still remember that moment in 2016 when I was floating around in the pool and my triumph finally sank in: 'I've won Bake Off!' I said to myself. It was truly wonderful.
TIME FOR A BREAK
My partner Ian and I recently returned to Greece, this time staying at the Miraggio Thermal Spa Resort in Halkidiki. The resort sits at the heart of a large beachside park facing the Aegean, and our first impressions were very good.
Inside, things got even better. The smartly designed rooms all had balconies or patios with sofas, there was free wi-fi, flatscreen TVs, and tea and coffee-makers (amazingly these days there are still some 'posh' hotels that think that offering coffee-makers is somehow naff).
As someone who has a professional interest in cooking these days, I was delighted to discover that the Miraggio has four smart restaurants (and six bars).
KEY ATTRACTIONS
One of the hotel's key attractions is its luxury spa that features hot spring water: there are also outdoor pools and a very good gym.
When you're in a resort as good as the Miraggio, it is so easy to stay put. We had a suite with a private pool and it was just what we needed relaxation-wise. We did lots of carefree chilling out and I have to admit not very much sightseeing! In fact, I'm afraid we left the resort just once for an evening in Paliouri, a gorgeous fishing village located on Kassandra, one of the three fingers of land that stick out from the peninsula.
During a lovely stroll around the village, I just had to check out the competition from the local bakers. I couldn't resist the baklava - rich, sweet dessert pastries made with layers of filo, filled with chopped nuts and held together with honey. They were wonderful and I made a mental note to try making them myself.
BEST THINGS TO DO
If you do want to be busy (as you might have guessed, busy was not on our agenda on this trip!), there are organised activities during the day: everything from archery to zumba, and beach volleyball to water-polo. The organised fun continued after dark thanks to the in-house entertainments team putting on their versions of musicals including Grease.
We did feel a bit guilty not making more effort to get out and see the sights, because Halkidiki is full of history and has some fascinating archaeological sites.
It is a peninsula extending into the Aegean Sea in the far north-west of Greece. Settlers first came here in any large numbers in the eighth century BC and founded cities such as Mende, Toroni and Scione. The city of Stageira, on the east coast of the peninsula, was the birthplace of the philosopher Aristotle - his teachings are said to have influenced every possible branch of knowledge.
MORE THAN JUST AN ADVENTURE
But confusingly we found we weren't sure exactly where we were, as no one can agree on exactly what the peninsula is called - Chalcidice, Chalkidike, Chalkidiki or Halkidiki, depen-ding on who you talk to.
We decided to stick to Halkidiki. Over the centuries Halkidiki has been part of the Byzantine Empire and the Ottoman Empire - and was finally incorporated into the kingdom of Greece, as it was then, in 1912 after the Balkan Wars.
There are many intriguing ancient archaeological sites all over Halkidiki, including excavations that revealed stone houses with one or two rooms built by communities in Neolithic times. Many incredible artefacts are on display at the Archaelogical Museum of Olynthos.
In some places on the peninsula, lush green forests reach down to some excellent sandy beaches - and there are some exhilarating mountainous parts too, with slopes covered in pine, oak, fir and chestnut.
There is plainly plenty for me to justify a return visit! But I have also promised myself something else for that trip. I would love to go back to the Miraggio and do a baking demo. Maybe my version of the Parthenon (although not a Kefalonia icon) made out of nougat would be a good showstopper!
