Transfers

Hello,

The travel agent I booked with isn't able to get me a transfer from the airport to the resort in Greece (and back again) (none are, the hotel isn't running transfers as it's technically out of season)

Does anyone have some good transfer sites? Might book in Euros as the exchange rate is good? Option to choose coach or taxi is appreciated.

Thanks

    ResortHoppa, A2B, Transfers4U, Travel Republic. Note that A2B own ResortHoppa.

    Or google the name of your arrival airport, eg 'Athens airport transfers'.


    Or go on the appropriate Trip advisor forum and you're bound to quickly find the answer.

    Although I haven't been to Greece, I've used Suntransfers several times with no problems - in Barcelona, Malta and Prague. I'm using them again in the summer for Majorca.

    If the OP had mentioned the airport and resort names, it'd be a lot easier to give accurate advice!
  • SunTransfers. As above poster, never had the slighest problem with them, and prices have always been OK.

    Never had a problem with ResortHoppa (keep an eye open for discount codes) but like all other transfer companies they outsource to local operators in each report so you will find people on your bus who have booked with several different companies.

    I usually go for their "speedy transfer" option but it does tend to be a bit of a gamble as you are never quite sure if you are the first or last hotel on their route.

    I would now avoid resort hopper like the the plague, having used them with no issue in the past booked for airport to hotel transfer's last year just for them to ditch people roadside at 3 am, I politely kick off with there call centre and refuse to get off the coach I had the paperwork that confirmed it was for a hotel drop-off and not resort and got dropped to our hotel but felt awful for an elderly couple that felt unable to vote with there feet and refuse they ended up miles from their accommodation, ironically resort hopper returned to our hotel for the return pick-up despite me not confirming as required as we decided to get a cab rather than risk them not turning up.
