2018 Greece 19

Paris and Brenda

We  could not have planned this trip without Paris Dimidis (photo left with Brenda at the end of the trip) of Dimidis Torus, Ltd.  Paris and his brother run this 12-person travel agency, started by their father 45 years ago.  They planned and executed our travel plans before and after the BAC bike tour. 

The tour company was recommended by our Dallas Greek friend, Grace Arianoutsos.  We owe you dinner, Grace.



Specifically, Dimidis Tours:

  • Transported us from the Athens airport to the hotel.  Note that all transport in Athens was personally done by Paris.
  • Make hotel reservations in Athens for 5 nights.
  • Arranged for a walking tour of Athens (April 18).
  • Took us to the start of the walking tour.
  • Arranged a 2-day bus tour (April 19-20) of DELPHI-METEORA with an overnight. The bus picked us up and returned us to our hotel.
  • Arranged a 1-day bus tour (April 21) to EPIDAVROS.  The bus picked us up and returned us to our hotel.
  • Transported us to Athens airport (April 23).
  • Made the air reservations from Athens to Chania.
  • Arranged for limo transport from Chania to Kissamos. (still April 23)
  • BAC BIKE TOUR, 10 DAYS
  • Arranged for limo transport from Kissamos to Heraklion (May 3).
  • Arranged for ferry from Heraklion to Santorini.
  • Made hotel reservations for 2 nights in Santorini. (May 3-4)
  • Arranged for ferry from Santorini to Mykonos.
  • Made hotel reservations for 2 nights in Mykonos. (May 5-6)
  • Arranged for ferry from Mykonos to Athens port Rafina.
  • Transported us from Athens port Rafina to Athens port Piraeus.
  • Arranged for ferry from  Athens port Piraeus to Hydra.
  • Made hotel reservations for 2 nights in Hydra. (May 7-8)
  • Arranged for ferry from Hydra to Athens port Piraeus.
  • Transported us from the Athens port Piraeus to the Athens airport, where he picture was taken.

We were given a time table and everything went like clock-work.  If we were to be picked up at 5:30 am, we were picked up at 5:30 am.  They gave us an envelope for each day with the needed tickets and vouchers.  Dimidis Tours is dedicated, detailed and professional.  We can’t praise them high enough.  They’re a world-wide travel agency; but of course are experts in Greece.  Their office is in Athens.
