Tinos Syros

We really appreciated Rachel's guidance in helping us choose our 10 day holiday on 2 islands. Very quick to respond to our queries. We had a detailed itinerary. It was great having the assurance that we could contact Rachel and Brian for help, and that they would not be too far away. As it happens everything went really smoothly. We enjoyed professional and personal service.

Piraeus Sifnos Naxos Koufonisia Santorini

We thoroughly enjoyed the holiday and your organisation has been excellent - all transfer people turning up on time and very polite etc. The hotels were all outstanding in their own way, and each island having their own charm.
the ferry from Koufounisia was a but on the rough side but we survived !

Syros Sifnos Piraeus

Rachel and Brian put in a great deal of effort to ensure that they put together just the right package to suit our needs. Their recommended accommodation is very well researched and high quality and carefully selected to fit our requirements. A slight hiccup this time caused by a taxi strike was resolved in minutes which was amazing .

We have used Astraeus many times now and as usual Rachel and Brian excelled themselves! They really do pay attention to the needs and likes of their customers. Everything we booked through Astraeus ran smoothly, and we although this was a short break we had another great holiday. I can’t thank them enough.

Very well organised from beginning to end, communication good from first enquiry to leaving where Rachel accompanied us on the ferry to Tinos and waited for our connecting ferry to Rafina. Would highly recommend Astraeus.

Mykonos Syros Tinos Rafina

We had a wonderful holiday this September, in great part due to the expertise and organisational skills of Rachel and Brian at Astraeus Holidays. From the moment we inquired to the moment we finished our holiday, they were informative, interesting, knowledgeable and approachable. Never further than an email or WhatsApp away. Their suggestions for our island hopping trip were spot-on. They asked us the right questions and sourced accommodation and journeys tailor made to our answers.
We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending their services and will definitely use them again in the future. Thank you both so much.

Syros Sifnos Athens

To have arranged this holiday for us with such short notice, was nothing short of remarkable. Thank you.
The WhatsApp contact is a lovely personal touch. Although our ferries behaved themselves and were (almost) on time, knowing that help is at hand should we need it is very reassuring.

We have book our holidays in Greece with Brian and Rachel for the past 3 year. I cannot speak highly enough of their professional and efficient approach.
They arrange every detail, transfer, ferry tickets, accommodation along with plenty of advice and useful information.
This ensured our recent holiday, of 5 different destinations, was totally stress free and exciting.
We totally trust their advice and destination suggestions as we know it will be perfectly suited to us and if a high standard.
Rachel and Brian go out of their way to provide and personally and bespoke service and we now feel lucky enough to call them our friends.

This is the 3rd time I've been away with Astraeus Holidays - it was everything I was looking for in terms of hotels, location and surrounding area. I'm looking forward to me next island adventures.

Tinos Paros Santorini

Once again, we were really pleased that we chose Astraeus to organise our holiday. Carefully considered and well located hotels, ferries and transfers all organised: taking all the stress out of the proceedings. The personal touch is great: just getting a WhatsApp checking all is ok, and responding to any issue immediately. This is something a larger tour operator cannot replicate.

Athens Spetses Hydra

As usual, it was an incredibly well organised and very easy way to go island hopping. Interesting to visit a different group of Islands, but still found the Greek hospitality and relaxed approach to life which is so enjoyable.
To have you make the bookings, advise on the hotels and take the stress out of it is really great.
Yet again we wondered how you find these little gems of hotels, amongst all the options. All are different, but all are fab.

Mykonos Syros Naxos Santorini

Wonderful holiday, perfectly organised from start to finish. Knowledgeable and friendly company with helpful suggestions when planning our trip. Everything was tailored to suit us. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends and family or rebook ourselves. Even went above and beyond when bad weather caused a ferry cancellation - looked after us perfectly, contacting us to inform of the disruption, organising accommodation and replacement ferry tickets at short notice. Cannot ask for more! :-)

Santorini Naxos Mykonos

Just wanted to say thankyou so much for all your help arranging our wonderful holiday.
Everything was better than expected.
Santorini was beautiful and the hotel was amazing, big hit with my girls.
Absolutely loved Paros, would definitely visit again. The hotel was lovely and chilled and the staff were so friendly, very personable.
Our boat ride to Mykonos was quite rough! Thankfully we are all seaworthy but a lot of people weren’t so lucky.
Girls loved Mykonos and would imagine they will revisit at some point.
Again, super hotel, great location.
One of the best holidays we’ve had.

Fantastic service! Rachel went above and beyond trying to track down my husband’s lost glasses after we had moved islands. Only for him to find them in his suitcase after she had got a ferry to the original island!

Athens Tinos Syros

This was our first experience of Astraeus Holidays and our first holiday to Greece and the Cyclades. I cannot fault Rachel/Brian in any way and am already recommending them to others I speak to. From the initial response to our first contact, the personal call following this to confirm what we were looking for/interest in to the regular (not intrusive) ‘check ins’ via WhatsApp whilst there, it all felt so bespoke and personal.

Their knowledge of the Cyclades Islands is fantastic and the advice given /provided in terms of what Islands to include and ‘what to do’ was fantastic. We can’t thank you enough Rachel and Brian and I’m sure we’ll be looking to book again!

Very impressed everything went like clockwork. We liked the way you kept in touch by WhatsApp. It was also nice to meet Rachel on Syros. We had no issues while away but felt that if we had encountered any problems they would have been felt with quickly.

Dear Brian and Rachel.

A heartfelt thank you for an amazing holiday. Our lovely surprise when arriving at the hotel to find Birthday cards, a selection of fresh fruit and wine. So kind and thoughtful of you. The Hotel at Kamari was perfect and the Breakfasts were amazing. To the hotel in Naxos where a warm reception was received from Eleni and Lambros awaited it was great to see them once more. Naxos was fabulous as usual. For our last night on Santorini to the with spectacular views. All our transfers went smoothly. I look forward to travelling with you again and would recommend your Company with confidence.

Best wishes and many thanks to you both.

Rachal and Brian are extremely professional.
They certainly know the islands and Accommodation that they suggest.
They were on hand to deal with our cancellation of our ferry due to bad winds, and re-purchased ticekts for us.
Always available to answer any questions.
The itinerary and ferry times were to perfection.
Will definitely use this company again, and will recommend to family and friends.

This is our third holiday booked with Astraeus and as usual Rachel and Brian ensured all went smoothly. Rachel has an amazing ability to know exactly what will suit us. Being able to message her while away if you have any queries is a great help too. Personal service personified!
Thank you once again to both of you for a fantastic trip.

Mykonos Naxos Paros Syros

We highly recommend Astraeus Holidays. Rachel and Brian provide a personalised concierge service. The bespoke holiday met our brief perfectly and the information we received about each island was so useful and enabled us to make the most of our time there.
On the day when the ferries were cancelled at the last-minute Rachel removed any stress by organising another night in the hotel, rearranging the ferry crossings and transfers.

Hi Brian and Rachel,

Fantastic travel company! I emailed a query and within a couple of hours they replied with loads of useful information. They arranged a bespoke island hopping tour through the Greek islands. Everything: from the hotels, transfers, ferries and flights worked seamlessly. Extremely efficient and with a personal touch. Would be happy to use again.

Santorini Naxos Syros Tinos Athens

As we said when we met you on Syros, we were so impressed with your accommodation choices. From a couple of emails you completely understood what we were looking for and I really did feel that we had a completely bespoke holiday booked for us.
Would also like to say how impressed I was with your service - every transfer worked seamlessly and there was no stress at all. Having Brian to help us on Tinos was also really appreciated - it's these touches that you don't get from bigger firms.

All we can say is that you designed the perfect holiday for our family - it had everything we asked for and more. The hotels were just as you described and they looked after us well. Your willingness to stay in touch during the holiday to answer questions and help with where to go and where to eat was so helpful. Going to Avant Garden for our celebration meal was a lovely evening. The idea to have lunch on the way home at the port worked so well too. We really felt that the holiday was tailor-made for us and it was very kind of you both to pop by to have a drink with us, thanks for sharing your knowledge of the area as we were able to enjoy it more as a result.
