What's Olympic Holidays like?

Family-owned Olympic Holidays has been operating for more than 50 years. It began life as a Greek Islands and Cyprus specialist, but has expanded to cover a range of other destinations as far afield as Goa and the Gambia.

Most destinations are islands, and it can also organise multi-destination breaks such as Greek island-hopping holidays.

While it received an average three-star rating for value for money, guests can choose accommodation to suit their budget. As well as five-star properties, Olympic also offers two-, three- and four-star traditional properties that are often family-run.

Holidays are mostly arranged over the phone and to your personal requirements, and Olympic received a four-star rating for the overall organisation of its holidays. One reader told us: ‘They were very patient and helpful on the phone when putting together different options for our tailor-made holiday, and everything on the holiday exceeded our expectations.’
