Wonderful holiday in Lefkada!

We had a wonderful holiday in Lefkada – what a brilliant destination! Villa Santolina was just lovely: really comfortable, beautifully maintained, and the perfect place to relax. The Ionian Coast is simply stunning, and we loved exploring it.

Simpson Travel were excellent throughout – a fantastic company with great people. Yiannis was especially brilliant; fun, friendly, and incredibly well connected. His recommendations really made our trip extra special.

Thank you for such a memorable holiday – we will definitely be back!

Superb Simpson holiday in Crete!

Our holiday with Simpson Travel at their GK Hotel in Crete last week was, in all respects, absolutely marvellous. The hotel is spotless and set directly facing the beach which, itself , is directly next to the hotels luxury pool area. The small 28 apartments are serviced by a small army of liveried staff who take poolside and beach orders for their ample stocked bar with plenty premium brands.

Breakfast is included and has ample continental as well as hot food ( fried eggs, omolettes, bacon,sausages etc) Restaurant is open all day serving lunch and dinner with a great menu
Bed linen and towels are constantly being changed and apartment cleaners come in daily. Perfect switch off holiday Can’t wait to come back again.

Pound for pound

Pound for pound, a very enjoyable and trouble free holiday, with good experiences throughout. From scenery, that is hard to match, to sunsets which may not be rivalled, Sivota and the Ionian Coast is to behold. Do yourself a favour ... !

We stayed at the Belle Mare

We stayed at the Belle Mare - Corfu this summer and had a fantastic time.
Natalia and Adrianna from the kids club were great. The girls were very well organised with the activities and our children loved the pizza making and building a raft. We will be back :-)

Simpson Travel organised a fabulous holiday for our 2 families in Ithaca. The villa was fantastic and the travel, care hire and whole experience was very good.

Perfect family holiday

We’ve just returned from a family holiday in Kefalonia. It is a stunningly picturesque island made all the more beautiful by the amazing villa we stayed in. It was perfect and met all our needs - the only “problem” was trying to get the children out of the pool to eat!! I need to give a special mention to our wonderful rep Karen. She went over and above in her care for us. My eldest child has additional needs and Karen was brilliant with her, and in assisting us with any queries we had. She’s an asset to the company and the icing on a wonderful holiday. Thank you so much Karen and thank you Simpson Travel. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Grecian Blue Therapy in an Ionian Paradise at Varko Villas

Returning for our second stay at Villa Afrodite in Greece we experienced the most peaceful, warm in both temperature and hospitality and picturesque two weeks. The 2 storey Villa sits within beautifully tended gated gardens along with two larger villas. The outlook is spectacular overlooking Varko Bay and the islands of Lefkada, Meganisi, Kalamos and Kostos. Quite simply a landscape you can only dream of and will certainly never tire of.
Simpson looked after us from start to finish. Yiannis our Simpson Concierge was on call to secure you the best table at the best restaurants and book the most memorable skippered boat trip.
We have used Simpsons many times as they quite simply cannot be beaten on quality, location and service.
We used the Simpson App this year which is so detailed and includes travel documents, live flight information, local maps and information (shops, restaurants etc) as well as a Countdown to your holiday. There is even a space to save your personal memories and photos. Such a useful tool.

Afrodite certainly is the goddess of love.♡♡♡
