of which are given on your travel documents) so that our local office
staff and suppliers have the opportunity to resolve the matter on the
spot. Until we are aware of a problem or complaint we cannot begin to
resolve it.
8. STANDARDS: Hotels are classified by the Greek authorities and we show the rating of these in our brochure. Although we suggest star rating, villas and private houses are not as yet classified, but we do endeavor to ensure that they and all of the services we provide, comply with local regulations and saftey laws. These regulations may differ or seem lower than those you are familiar with, as will many other standards.
The relaxed attitude of the Greek people may frustrate at times, but it is these same characteristics which can also charm and delight.
9. CONDITIONS: Any failure of one part of the contract does not mean
the failure of the entire contract. When accepting your booking, it
will be understood that you are agreeing to these Booking Conditions on
behalf of all members of your party.
10. LEGAL PROCEDURES: Court Proceedings may only be brought against the
Tour Operators, in the jurisdiction of the domicile of the Tour
