About the location
Greece is one of Europe’s most captivating destinations, where ancient history and stunning scenery combine at every turn. From the archaeological wonders of Athens and Delphi to the charming coastal towns and islands scattered across the Aegean Sea, the country offers an extraordinary variety of experiences.
The Greek mainland is home to some of the world’s most important historical sites, including Olympia, Mycenae and the Acropolis. These remarkable landmarks provide a fascinating insight into the origins of Western civilisation and continue to attract visitors from across the globe.
Beyond the mainland, the Aegean islands reveal a different side of Greece. Whitewashed villages cling to volcanic cliffs in Santorini, while Mykonos offers traditional charm and vibrant waterfronts. Rhodes combines medieval history with beautiful beaches, and Crete blends rich mythology with spectacular landscapes. Together they create a journey filled with culture, scenery and unforgettable moments.

Amelia at Flitch Travel carefully listened to our requirements for our bespoke four-week holiday to South Africa. She obtained quotes from various specialist suppliers for comparison, which enabled us to select a package that met our needs perfectly. We have just returned from our once-in-a-lifetime trip and couldn’t be happier with all the arrangements made for us. We had an amazing time.

Amie & Amelia have been outstanding!
I usually handle our holiday bookings, but I must say I have enjoyed taking a back seat this time. Ladies, this is definitely the first of many more!
Roll on October....I'll be back!

Flitch travel booked our honeymoon 3 years ago which was amazing and no other holiday lived up to it... until now. Shandrani beachcomber hotel, Mauritius was incredible. We were looked after so thoroughly. All the staff were incredibly welcoming, couldn’t do enough for you. Thank you so much for booking such a wonderful holiday, can’t wait to go back!
Claire Katie Eastaugh
Very friendly and understanding. We had a detailed set of requirements which Flitch managed in a way that made us feel that an individual plan was being made.

A big thank you to Rebecca of Flitch Travel, I went in not really knowing where to go for my family holiday, I gave her my requirements, she ran through the pro’s and con’s of various options and I opted for Turkey. Now returned from an amazing time my family and I had at the Resort we chose, I look forward to dealing with her again for my next holiday experience.
