www.egeo-travel.com is an easy platform which can help you find suitable and affordable accommodation and directly connect you to the property owners. You can rent a car, find a trip or just an information that will help you see the island and the people of Thassos for what they really are, and spend your vacation care free.
By hosting and serving the guests of our foreign partners for 10 years, we have grown as people and company.
To become one of the largest incoming tour operators in Thassos Island, for a relatively short period of time, with responsibility to care for hundreds of guests on daily basis, proves our hard work and dedication and that we are valued as trusted business partner.
Over the years, we have built our experience and connections. We became a friend to our clients and a “Go-to Person”.
Our clients are the reason we have decided to offer something more for all of you choosing to organize your trip by yourself or just wanting to learn more about our island.
As a foreigner moving to Thassos Island and creating a new life from the beginning, I can understand the need for support and someone to count on when you are in the place you don’t know.
As a multinational team living and working in Thassos Island we can understand different mentalities and are eager to share our experiences and the love we have for the island.

You will have someone dedicated looking after you. We’re always there in the background in case of questions or emergencies – or if you simply want to let us know you’re having a great trip.
Personal contact and relations – We nurture personal contact and relations with our clients. This is the reason why our reservation system is not automated. Prioritizing personal contact sets our services apart from the rest. We are in constant contact with the clients to advise and help with booking and with property owners to make sure we have updated information or to negotiate a favorable price if and when possible.
Our goal is to be the agency of your choice and someone to trust. Therefore, we encourage our clients to send us their impressions so we will know if we are doing well or we need to improve.
No matter from which country you are coming from, you can easily book accommodation or any service.
To make it easier for you, we have our website translated in several languages, especially those of the countries from which we have the most visitors.
Our team is resourceful and we have been successfully communicating with visitors from various countries.
The prices you see presented on the website represent the lowest and the highest price for the lowest and the highest part of the season. These prices are intended to help you see if this accommodation is in the range of budget you have planned for your accommodation.
There is only 2 ways to enquire for quotes and book your accommodation:
By sending the enquiry form – After you find the accommodation of your preference, at the bottom of the page of villa/hotel description, you will find the Enquiry Form. When filling up your form, please make sure you have all the fields filled correctly:
If you have further questions or requirements about the property, you can write it in the message section of the form.
By contacting us directly – If you are not sure you see on our website what you need, you can send an email to booking@egeo-travel.com.
When sending us an email, please, follow these guidelines to make sure you give us proper information so we can help you:
We will send you accommodation recommendations that best meets your criteria and help you narrow the choice.
Do not send us inquiries with questions like: “What is the price of the accommodation in July, August…” or “What you can you offer for 3 people …” , etc. Please, be specific.
In both cases, as soon as you choose the offer you like, we will confirm the availability with the owner and send you instructions for sending the deposit.
Reservation process, step by step, is as follows:
You receive the best rates possible for the period you want
You send request for availability if the rates suit you
You receive availability confirmation and instructions for paying the deposit
You send the deposit to the owner of accommodation
You receive deposit and reservation confirmation
You arrive to destination and pay the rest of the amount to the owner of the property
You enjoy your vacation
The whole process should not last more than 3 days.
But, please, be patient and have in mind that, even though most accommodation owners respond quickly as well as our agents, sometimes due to large volume of business, you may receive the response after 3 days.
If, after 3 days you still have not received a response, please submit the request again, or contact us via the contact form on our website.
Before sending the request again, be sure to check the Spam or Junk folder of your email, as often can happen that email ends up in spam.
For review and security reason it is NOT possible to book your accommodation via phone call, sms, Viber, WhatUp, via DM on any social network or via comments on any social network.
In case of unforeseen circumstances and to prevent any misunderstandings and mistakes, it is very important to keep written trace on all of items of our communication and agreements.
The most reliable way is via email as mentioned above.
After you confirm your reservation to us, we will send you the instructions for you to send a deposit directly to the owner.
After the owners confirm they have received the deposit, we will send you the deposit and reservation confirmation/voucher, on behalf of the owner.
The rest of the remaining amount you will pay to the owner of the property, first day upon arrival.
At check in you will have your deposit and reservation confirmation sent by us and your proof of deposit payment to a specific name (money transfer receipt from the bank, Western Union, etc.).
By paying the deposit, you enter into a direct (legally binding) contractual relationship with the villa/hotel owner, car rental company or excursion organizer, with whom you make a reservation or purchase a product or service (as applicable).
When paying deposits for accommodation, it is necessary to take a SWIFT copy from the bank or any other confirmation, depending of the way of payment, which represents proof that you have paid money at a specific name in Greece.
Can I book the accommodation without paying the deposit?
Unfortunately, that is not possible. Payment of deposit is a standard procedure, which provides security for both parties. For you, the deposit is a guarantee that the accommodation unit will wait for you under the conditions you have agreed with the owner. For the owner, the deposit is a guarantee that their accommodation unit will not remain empty for the period they are keeping it for you.
What is the amount of deposit?
The deposit amount that most owners usually require is 20-30% of the total price. Few owners require up to 50% of the total price. The exact amount for the exact property you will find in the description of the property under “Need to know” section.
How can you send the deposit?
You can send the deposit to the owner’s bank account, through Western Union, PayPal or via other alternatives for international transfers, which we can eventually be suitable for both you and the owners. The cost of money transfer/commission is paid by the sender.
By when it must be deposited?
The deadline for the payment of deposit is 2 business days, from the day of your reservation confirmation.
Due to the great interest and number of inquiries, the owners and we are not able to keep the accommodation for you more than 2 business days.
In case you have made the reservation before or during weekend and you are unable to send the deposit online, we may be able to negotiate with the owners to prolong the deadline.
If you cancel your accommodation booking, such cancellation will be according to the cancellation policy of the accommodation provider as stated on your confirmation email and in terms and conditions of reservation.
Please, read the cancellation and no show policy for the property you choose. These policies for each property separately, you will find in the description of hotel/villa, under “Need to know” section.
