Exercise of the program
Our company strives for better and more consistent implementation of programs for excursionists. Unforeseen situations though, can create imperative variation of the program before departure or during the trip.
Before the departure of the trip, our company reserves the right to modify the program of the tour and to adjust its value. In this case the Customer can cancel his/her participation and he /she will be provided with the money refund of the amount equal to his/her prepayment without any other claims.
If the price was increased due to different rate of foreign currency or due to fare increase up to 10% on the selling price, in this case the cancelation without charging cancelation fee is not justified. Our company has the right to cancel any trip for reasons it deems appropriate (objective difficulties, limited participation, etc.) without obligation to pay compensation, except of the refund of amounts received. During the trip the captain has the right to make changes if it is to face some extraordinary event or force majeure. So if for any of the above reasons of force majeure, the excursion in progression is interrupted and excursionists repatriated, our company makes every effort to refund to them the cost of the services which were not provided by the beneficiaries (hotels, transport). Air trips are executed with economy class seats and are based on group fares, which require certain minimum number of participants (which vary by destination) and are subject to residence restrictions and stopovers. Airlines can modify the routes of assigned departures of excursions without a prior notice. Any change in the time of flight of the airline from morning to noon or afternoon and vice versa, as well as any change in boarding time in road tour bus is not considered a program change. All extraordinary expenses (additional nights, meals, transport, etc.) are carried out by travelers, provided that their forecast is impossible by nature.
Services provided
- Flight tickets. Air trips are executed with economy class seats and are based on group fares, which require certain minimum number of participants (which vary by destination) and are subject to residence restrictions and stopovers. Airlines can modify the routes of assigned departures of excursions without a prior notice. In no event our company is entitled to make an impact on airlines to reduce any intermediate stops and waiting interval of the connection.
- Hotels / Accommodation. All the used by the company accommodations have legal and valid operation permit as required by the competent authorities of the host country. The choice of accommodation is done using criteria of their location and of services offered, combining the best possible price, depending on the category as it relates to the description of each excursion. The hotel category listed (A luxury, etc.) complies with the tourism body of the country to which they belong. But because there are no internationally accepted uniform criterion for this classification, it is natural that it differs between the various hotels, even if they belong to the same category. There is no uniform international classification of hotels. In a very general way it was accepted the use of stars: 2 * = Tourist, 3 *=B category 4 * = A category 5 * = Luxury. The rooms of most hotels around the world designed to accommodate two beds. Therefore, the triple rooms are actually double with extra bed. Some hotels accept and the fourth bed to serve the customers, but it is obvious that the space will be significantly limited. Usually, the rooms are checked-in at 14.00 and are available to residents until 10.00 on departure day. Note in the instructions for provision of services regarding the type of room is based on demand and if the hotel has different prices for each room type. Otherwise the hotel is entitled to provide the room according to the availability during the time of your stay. The company, of course, makes every effort to extend the stay time limit to accommodate the holidaymakers departing on the evening or very early flights. This kind of service will be applicable in case if rooms are not given to other guests. In case of late arrival at the hotel after a day of your scheduled arrival and if you do not inform the hotel, the hotel has the right to dispose the rest reserved period if requested. Drinks, unless expressly stated, are not included in the half board or full board. We remind that before your departure from the hotel you pay for any personal accounts (phone calls, drinks etc.). In no case the Company will agree to pay personal customer accounts.
- The Company undertakes carriage of luggage of regular size and weight up to 20 kg for each client, regardless of the type of trip (air, sea or bus), unless otherwise stated. Apart from the basic luggage, participants can keep a small handbag, the dimensions of which must not exceed 53x26x23 cm (length / height / width respectively). In cases where the passenger has excess luggage weight or more luggage pieces, this can result in extra charge from the airline or accommodations, which is paid by traveler. In case of damage or loss of luggage, the airline will compensate the traveler only for the weight of baggage according to the Warsaw Convention of 1929 regardless of the value of the contents of the baggage. For this reason, please do not place valuable items in luggage.
Travelers insurance
Under the Directive 90/314/EEC (which was incorporated in the greek legislation by P.D.339/1996) our company has insured its professional responsibility to cover default of the contract from their part as well as the refund of money paid and repatriation expenses in the event of bankruptcy. For the mentioned above, for more detailed information and in regards to your rights, please be informed about from our company as well as about the name and address of the insurance company and the number of the insurance policy. The Company covers group travelers for civil liability risks, improper performance of the contract, accidents and repatriation. The group coverage is limited due to its nature.
As an example but without limitation, we note that the insurance does not cover damage, losses and cases due to the traveler's actions or concealment of the facts from the company, such as false or fraudulent statements or concealment of facts, use of toxic, drugs or other substances, cases of pregnancy or childbirth, mental disorders, pre-existing physical or mental defect or disability, deliberate self-harm, suicide or attempted suicide, intoxication, permanent and chronic diseases, as well as the age of less than 12 months or greater than 70 years. The Company strongly recommends that travelers conclude a private insurance contract covering the above risks, with the amounts they wish, and to cover cancellation fees in case of trip cancellation due to serious illness, medical intervention or accident events, which not affect the charges against the Company by its suppliers.
Prices-Changes-Cancelation of trip
The prices of bookings are calculated on the day indicated in the current price list, based on the cost of services of each booking, the applicable fares, taxes and insurance costs, foreign currency exchange rates compared to EURO, in any foreseen from the package number of minimum participants, which, for groups in all cases and unless otherwise provided in the program is at least 20, the prices of fuel and services, and any other cost factor. The Company makes every possible effort of foreseeing but reserves the right to readjust when the above cost factors change, up to 20 days before departure. If in the last 20 days before departure arise extraordinary increases in fares, taxes, fuel, etc. rates the Client has the right to accept a similar increase for the trip or to cancel his/her participation if the increase exceeds 10% of the trip value. The Company reserves the right to cancel any trip before departure: a) force majeure or security, i.e. to circumstances different to his/her will, abnormal and unpredictable, b) if any extraordinary increases, as mentioned above, are much more than 10% of the value of travel (in this case the amounts paid are refunded to traveler), c) in case of insufficient participation (including the group, involving less than 20 employees). If the required number of participants is not completed the Company is obliged to notify participant-travelers about cancelation 8 days before departure, refunding the amounts paid to traveler or offering another trip without further liability. Unlike when during the trip occurs force majeure and to ensure the safe course of the journey or the repatriation of participants, there are required extraordinary expenses, travelers are obliged to accept to pay on the spot these costs. Any temporary cover of exceptional costs by the Company does not mean in any way an admission of liability from its part, but temporary financial service of the traveler, with the obligation of the immediate settlement of the expenditure on their return.

The cancellation policy also applies to the case with a previous notification of change in flight time (including from morning to night or vice versa), the replacement of hotels with others of the same or higher category and forced minor changes in the program, which do not change substantially the whole character of the journey, even illness, medical interventions and travel accidents.
