Looking for an affordable holiday in Athens and on Mykonos and Santorini, the two most popular islands in Greece?  You have found it. And more....

"George", I said to my friend and travel agent George Gerassimides of Fantasy Travel in Athens. "Can you create a package for the economy-minded traveler which will be as cheap as they can ever hope to find on a cut-rate-fly-by-night-discount-travel site, but which will provide the same level of service as the more expensive packages? If they are in a C-catagory hotel I want it to be the best centrally located C-catagory hotel like the Attalos or the Adonis and not off in some forbidden corner of Athens like on those discount travel sites. I want them to have transfers from the airport to their Athens hotels and I want them to be met at the ferry by the hotel representatives on the islands and taken back to the ferry when they leave. In other words I want them to not have a thing to worry about, with everything working like clockwork at a cost that someone would pay if they were staying in cheap hotels and pensions and using public transportation and getting lost and frustrated. Can you do it?"

And as George often replies "Of course. And I will also include ferry boat tickets and a full day tour of Delphi or a Cruise to the Saronic Islands, and daily breakfast."

Here is what he came up with:
Athens-Mykonos-Santorini: 9 Nights/10 Days from 777 euros per person

And check out these as well:
Mainland Package 8 Days /7 Nights in Athens, Delphi, Olympia and Meteora from 744 euros per person

Island Hopping: 10 Days / 9 Nights in Paros and Naxos from: 652 € per person

New Economical Packages:
Fantasy Travel has put together a number of packages that offer quality accommodation for economical prices. Most packages that seem too good to be true are actually not as good as they seem, often using hotels that are in areas you really don't want to stay in, to keep the price down. But Fantasy's economy packages feature hotels in and around the Plaka in Athens and are all good quality hotels. I recommend their From Acropolis to Caldera which is a special offer of Athens and Santorini at a very low rate. Their Athens/Mykonos/Santorini Budget Program is even cheaper and available anytime, even peak season, though they do run out of rooms if you wait til the last minute.
