Step into a world of luxury with Olympic’s carefully selected, hand-picked Four and Five star hotels.

Including some of the most stunning hotels from among our destinations, you can swim in your own private infinity pool or dine on a terrace overlooking the sea, with menus created by Michelin-starred chefs.

The Ancient Greeks used mineral springs, seawater salts and herbal and flower-based essences daily to aid well-being. Using small bathtubs, wash basins and foot baths, their bathing routines formed the foundation for modern spa procedures. There’s nowhere better to indulge in spa treatments than in a place where therapies have been a part of everyday life for millennia.

Infinity pools and swim-up rooms Suspended between the sea and sky, infinity pools bring sensational panoramic views so you can truly dive into luxury.

Sensational swim-up rooms allow you to go from bed to pool in mere seconds without needing to leave your room. Be inspired by Olympic Holidays’ favourite hotels where the pools are the focus and add a further touch of class to your perfect holiday.

Welcome to our home! Whatever you’re looking for in your perfect holiday, you will find it here in the idyllic Greece and her islands. Revel in everything from dramatic cliffs and mysterious caves, to glorious white sand beaches and sheltered coves, where yours will be the only footprints in the sand. Enjoy fun-filled days and exciting nightlife in cosmopolitan towns full of restaurants, clubs and boutiques – or escape to a friendly, unspoilt fishing village and gently unwind into ‘island time’.

For sports lovers, there’s cycling, riding or hiking along pine forest trails and ancient cobblestone mule tracks across the mountains. There’s also swimming, scuba-diving, wind surfing, sailing, parasailing and a myriad of other water sports on offer.

Culture-lovers can step back more than 3,000 years, visiting historical sites, churches, monasteries and ancient ruins. And families can enjoy a warm welcome from the delightfully knowledgeable locals, as well as the pleasure of enjoying long sunny days together on the sandy beaches.

HOLIDAY INFORMATION | FLIGHT DETAILS

Holiday Information Please read the following information carefully. They, together with the Booking Terms and Conditions (which is incorporated into this Holiday Information), apply to all holidays and flights and they deal with your rights and obligations to us and ours to you.

How we calculate your holiday price The basic price of your holiday as set out in our brochures and website includes variable items such as the cost of aviation fuel and various costs paid in foreign currencies, which are subject to varying exchange rates. Your holiday price (except for any car hire) includes all domestic and foreign taxes and charges unless these are not pre–payable. Some countries, for example the Spanish Balearic Islands and Greece have introduced a tourist tax (although it goes under a variety of names depending on the country, but which is referred to as “tourist tax” throughout this Holiday Information) which can only be paid locally at your accommodation.

Please note that throughout this the flight, accommodation or both have been selected from third party companies to meet your specific requirements. This gives you enormous flexibility in your holiday/travel arrangements and all flights and holidays are fully ATOL protected

by Olympic Holidays. Particularly with accommodation, however, it does mean that we will not have personally inspected your selected accommodation and act as an agent only for the hotelier or other supplier (please see our Booking Conditions). Therefore, while the general guidance (e.g. as to visas and health requirements) given in this Holiday Information section is valid for all bookings - flights and accommodation may have their own particular information/requirements attached to them (e.g. ticketing and baggage allowances on flights, and the standard of services and facilities available at accommodation) which we cannot set out here because of their immense variety. Please read all information available relating to flights and accommodations and if you have any questions please contact us and we'll do our best to help you. We regret that in some instances we cannot accept bookings from persons under the age of 18 unless there is someone aged 18 or over travelling in the party and normally this person should be the lead passenger (see our Booking Conditions).

What's included in your holiday price The basic cost of your holiday includes: Flight from UK airport to resort airport and return.

• All airport and passenger taxes and charges at home and abroad (except any local tourist tax which can only be paid locally at your accommodation).

The baggage allowance on your flight (if any), confirmed during the booking process – see also Baggage below.

• In–flight entertainment as provided by the particular airline providing your flight.

• If specified during the booking process, transport between the resort airport and your accommodation (unless you have hired a car for collection at the destination airport or have booked a villa or house which includes a free car).

• Accommodation and meal arrangements as specified in our confirmation.

The services of our local representatives for advice and assistance – unless stated otherwise during the process of booking your holiday What's not included • Transport between your home and the UK airport.

• Holiday insurance which you must have.

• Carriage of baggage (other than hand baggage) on your flight, unless specified as included during the booking process.

• Transfers between your arrival airport and your accommodation unless specified as included during the booking process.

• Any tourist tax payable locally at your accommodation.

• Any charge made by hotels or apartments for the use of facilities and equipment (e.g. room service, sports facilities etc.)

• Other than outdoor swimming pools.

• The provision of cots or pushchairs and meals for infants.

• Any excursions unless specified in our brochures and website as being included in the price of the holiday.

• Any additional food, drinks or other items you may purchase at your accommodation.

• Any tips or gratuities and any other item of a personal nature not specified in our brochures and website description.

• Unless specified otherwise during the booking process, transport between the resort airport and your villa or house (when free car hire is included, the car should be collected from the destination airport).

• Our group booking department also handles requests for under 10 passengers.

• A deposit will be required for each passenger.

• Certain offers are only available to large groups. These offers change frequently and are subject to availability.

• We provide Group Bookings with low deposits from just £89 per person.

• Early booking discounts for group bookings can reach up to £200 per person.

Our Group Offers are constantly updated so call us on 020 8492 6896 or email us with details of your requirements.

• All our group holiday bookings come fully ATOL and ABTA protected.

Occupancy rules • Four adults sharing a 2 or more bedroom apartment may book 2 children at the first child price. In hotel rooms with only 3 beds, first and second children must share a bed to qualify for the child price. Sharing beds is only permissible where the total combined age of both children is 11 years or less.

• All children not qualifying for special offers or discounts pay the full adult price and count as adults towards the occupancy of the accommodation.

• Only persons who pay the full adult price count towards the occupancy of accommodation. The Party Size row in special bonus boxes states how many persons we expect to pay the full adult price. If fewer persons paying the full adult price occupy the accommodation, under– occupancy supplements must be added as shown at the bottom on

222

each price panel.

• Special Offer rules about occupancy occasionally mean that your child may travel cheaper if paying the full adult fare rather than a child price.

Our Reservations Department or your travel agent will be able to advise you on how to achieve the best price.

• All children and infants must have adequate holiday insurance.

• We cannot accept bookings for children under the age of 16 on the date of return who are not accompanied by an adult.

• For persons aged 16 years or over but under 18 on the date of return who are traveling unaccompanied by a responsible adult, we will only accept bookings if an adult agrees to be responsible for any costs arising from the booking or its cancellation.

Infants under the age of 2 on the date of their return to the UK pay a small charge for their flight but are not provided with a seat or any baggage allowance. Should you need a cot to be provided at your holiday accommodation, please state this as a 'Special Request' either during the booking process or when you call to book. As cots provided overseas may not comply with British standards, please check the cot before use to ensure suitability. We also recommend that you take your own linen for use in the cot for reasons of hygiene. At most of the hotels we offer FREE cots, but if there is any charge, this must be paid locally. PLEASE REMEMBER IN ALL CASES TO REQUEST A COT WHEN BOOKING. Please note that the presence of a cot, more often than not, counts towards the maximum occupancy of any given unit. Please ask our Reservations Team before booking a unit to avoid disappointment.

Special offer rules These Conditions apply to all special offers our brochures and website.

• To qualify for a 'Reduced Child Price' offer the child must be aged under 16 years on the date of return for the holiday and does not count towards the occupancy of the accommodation booked.

• For a 'Child Stays Free' offer a child must be under the age of 12 years on the date of return from the holiday.

• To qualify as Infants, children must be under the age of 2 years on the date of return from holiday.

• You must state the ages of all children or infants when booking.

• If a child or infant discount or special offer is booked, and the child is found to be outside the age limits for the discount, special offer or infant price, the full adult or child price will be payable before departure, in resort, or on return to the UK, as appropriate.

• 'Child Stays Free', 'Reduced Child Price' and 'Free Extra Weeks' offers refer to the basic brochure price only and do not include any relevant supplements for flights, accommodation, insurance etc. which remain payable in full, unless otherwise specified in the relevant accommodation price panel or special bonus box.

• All special offers are only available on holidays booked at the full brochure price and not on any discounted or concessionary booking.

• References to 'Holidays Completed Between' our brochures and website means that the holiday booked must start and end on or between the dates mentioned. Otherwise, at 'Olympic Holidays' discretion, if part of your holiday falls between the dates mentioned in connection with a special offer or discount will be given on a pro rata basis.

• Only one of the reductions or discounts advertised in our brochures and website is available per family or booking form except '2 for 1' and 'No Under Occupancy' offers may be taken together and 'Early Booking' discounts and 3 days free car hire are both available in addition to any other offer applicable to your chosen holiday.

• They are in all cases subject to availability.

BOOK EARLY TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT. The price of your holiday All initial prices shown on the Olympic Holidays website include all compulsory taxes and charges (except any local tourist tax). Any optional charges are not included in the initial price show, but you will have the opportunity to select or reject optional services and facilities during the booking process.

Extra nights Please note that extra night prices are determined by the actual dates of the extra nights in your hotel, not by the date of your departure from the UK. If the extra nights fall over a bank holiday (in the UK) or a festival period (overseas) a supplement may be payable which will be confirmed to you when the extra nights are reserved.

Your flights In accordance with EU regulations we are required to advise you of the actual carrier operating your flight. We do this by listing the flights that are intended to be operated as per information in the page of Olympic Flight Information. We are also required to bring to your attention under EU Directive (EC) 2111/2005 the existence of a Community list which contains details of carriers which are subject to an operating ban within the EU. Please note that we reserve the right to substitute alternative carriers and/ or aircraft types. Any such alteration or substitution will not entitle you to cancel your booking except in accordance with our standard cancellation terms – see 'If You Cancel' under our Booking Conditions.

Flights mentioned may have been planned but not fixed or licensed. We therefore accept bookings on those flights subject to their operation and grant of licences by the appropriate Civil Aviation Authorities.

The flight timings shown are for guidance only and are subject to confirmation and alteration. You must adhere to the timings advised to you in the tickets provided to you before departure. Flight times in our brochures and website and on all documentation are local times on the basis of the 24–hour clock and you should bear this in mind when looking at journey times. Flights may have an intermediate stop for refuelling or other reasons. Please enquire before booking.

You must check in for your flight at least 2 hours before the scheduled departure time, but in view of enhanced security at airports you should allow extra time to check in. Particular seats are generally not pre–bookable (but see Pre–bookable seats below) so that if you prefer to be in a particular part of the aircraft, or wish to be seated with traveling companions, the earlier you check in the more likely you are to obtain your requirements (although these cannot be guaranteed in any circumstances). You should also re–confirm your return flight in resort at least 2 days before the date of your return.

Pre–bookable seats If you pre-book your seats, this ensures that your family/party will be seated together. To guarantee this, all passengers in your party must travel under the same booking and pre-bookable seats must be booked for all party members on that booking. If you have booked Group Seating your seats are pre-allocated a few days before your flight departure dates and are subject to change therefore, seat numbers will be given to you when

you check in for your flight. Some members of your party may be seated across an aisle or in a row in front/behind each other; depending on party size, aircraft configuration and window seat requests. Window seats are allocated at check-in according to availability. Please note that in case of a dispute concerning pre-booked seats, you and other members of your party are required to retain your boarding passes.

Missed flights It is your responsibility to ensure that you arrive at the airport in time for the departure of your flight, whether outbound or inbound. Please allow plenty of time for traffic delays etc. If you should miss your flight, we will do our best to arrange an alternative (subject to availability). Since in these circumstances it might not be possible for your accommodation to be held, we will similarly do our best to provide an alternative. Please note, however, that in these circumstances the replacement flights and accommodation may not be to the same destinations or to the same standard as originally booked and are in all cases subject to availability.

In addition all extra costs which we incur in respect of replacement flights, accommodation, transfers etc. will be payable by you prior to your departure.

Flight delays Although most flights depart on time, there may be occasions when for reasons beyond our control a flight is delayed. We cannot accept any liability whatsoever for any delay in or cancellation of your flight to or from your resort caused by or resulting from adverse weather conditions, a re–scheduling by the airline, airport authorities/air traffic controllers, technical problems with any aircraft, industrial action or any other cause for which we are not directly responsible. Information about the cause or likely duration of a delay is sometimes hard to come by, but we will try to keep you informed. Subject to available facilities at the time and place of the delay, for delays of: 4 to 6 hours we will provide light refreshment; 6 to 10 hours a meal at mealtimes; over 10 hours, if overnight and if possible or advisable in liaison with the airline arranging your flight, basic accommodation.

Inbound flights If we are advised that there is to be a substantial flight delay before you leave for the airport, if possible, we shall try to arrange for you to remain in your resort, rather than having to wait at the airport. Refreshments as outlined above will be provided for delays in excess of 4 hours, although this does depend on local availability having regard to the time of day, numbers involved and local availability of services.

Baggage If specified as included during the booking process the baggage allowance is normally a minimum of 15kg for each person. Infants under the age of 2, on the date of their return flight, have no allowance. The baggage allowance may vary depending on the airline or flight. Please check your confirmation email or itinerary for correct details. In addition one small piece of hand baggage (normally of a size which will fit under an aircraft seat and of not more than 5 Kg in weight) per person may be carried.

Baggage in excess of these limits may be refused carriage or incur an excess baggage charge at check–in for your flight which will be payable by you. If you wish to carry any particularly bulky item of baggage (e.g. wheelchairs, pushchairs, windsurfers, golf clubs etc.) please tell us at the time of booking so that we can ask the airline for permission. Carriage of items such as these cannot be guaranteed and may incur an additional charge. Hand baggage requirements are subject to change in accordance with security measures and it is advised that you check before travel for any changes to baggage allowance. It is also advised that you check on the Government website for the current list of prohibited articles on aircraft by following the link for hand baggage rules.

Pregnancy You are advised that normally airlines require a medical certificate of fitness to fly if you are more than 28 weeks pregnant and after 32 weeks of pregnancy you will not be allowed to fly. You are in any event advised to consult your Doctor before travelling. If you are travelling with an infant it is very unlikely that skycots or bassinets will be available on most of the flights that we offer, however please ask if this is important to you.

Passports & Visas The information in this section is valid for British citizens only. If you are not a British citizen (and this includes citizens of British Dependent Territories, citizens who hold their citizenship by virtue of a connection with Gibraltar, British subjects who have a right of abode in the UK and EU and other nationals) the passport and visa requirements for the Country you intend to visit may be different and you are advised to contact the Embassy or High Commission of the Country you are intending to visit to check the requirements for your intended visit.

At all times it remains your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct documentation for your holiday and return to the UK, and to regularly familiarise yourself with the requirements as passport and visa requirements can change prior to departure. We accept no responsibility if you do not have the correct documents. If you need a new or renewed passport you should apply in good time before your departure. It normally takes about (4 weeks) to obtain a passport by post, but this time may vary depending on the time of year or the passport office you apply to.

Greece, Cyprus, Croatia, Malta & Spain - A full British passport is necessary and it must meet the following requirements: If you are planning to travel to an EU country, you must follow the Schengen area passport requirements.

Your passport must be: 1. issued less than 10 years before the date you enter the country (check the ‘date of issue’) 2. valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the ‘expiry date’) You must check your passport meets these requirements before you travel. If your passport was issued before 1 October 2018, extra months may have been added to its expiry date. Contact the embassy of the country you are visiting if you think that your passport does not meet both these requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.

British citizens do not require a visa to visit as a tourist for up to 90 days in any 180 day period. Please note that visits to any other Schengen area country within the same 180 day period will count towards the 90 day limit.

For EU non-Schengen countries such as Cyprus, you can still visit as a tourist for up to 90 days in any 180 day period without a visa and visits to any other EU country during the same 180 day period will not count towards the 90 days.

If you are visiting Cyprus, and you have a Turkish Cypriot stamp in your passport, you are advised to contact the High Commission of the Republic of Cyprus as you may need a supplementary passport.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office provides free of charge a variety of important information about the country you intend to visit, including security, entry requirements and health and this is kept up to date. We recommend you check at www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice.

Health Although no inoculation certificates are required for entry to any of the countries mentioned in our brochures and website, we advise you to consult your own doctor in good time before your departure as to what precautions may be recommended. In addition, there is a leaflet which you may find helpful in connection with health while travelling It is a leaflet entitled 'Advice on Health for Travellers available either from your travel agent or from the Department of Health website or call FREEPHONE 0800 555777. We also recommend you visit the Foreign Travel section of the DirectGov website.

Overseas holidays – what to expect To make the most of your holiday we recommend that you try to find out as much as possible about your intended destination before you book and travel on your holiday. The Internet is a great source of information and much of it is free. It's important that you look at such things as the Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office’s Know Before You Go Campaign, which gives essential information about your intended destination country; the NHS and Department of Health websites both contain very useful information on health for travellers and the Meteorological Office for information about climate. As an alternative to the Internet your local reference library will be able to help with reading matter about your intended destination. One of the attractions of holidaying overseas is to see something of a culture and way of life that is different to what we are used to at home. You should not therefore expect things to be the same as in Britain – invariably this is not so. In many destinations – some of which have only become accustomed to an influx of foreign tourists in recent years – the locals tend to be more relaxed in their approach to life, and this usually means taking their time over things.

Also because of rapid development in some resorts the development of the infrastructure (roads, power supplies, water supplies etc.) has not kept pace with the demands of tourism.

This is part of the charm of these areas Of course, in the more sophisticated resorts of Europe, you will often find all the facilities you are used to at home, but elsewhere things may be a good deal simpler. You may experience problems with plumbing or drainage or inconveniences like a broken door handle, or missing light bulbs. Standards of furnishings or electrical fittings may be more basic.

It is also worth remembering that on a holiday where the absence of rain rates high on your list of priorities, water shortages can sometimes be unavoidable – indeed even in the largest hotels if everyone decides to shower or bath at the same time, hot water may run short. Don't get annoyed if these things occur. If it is something that can be rectified just report it to the person in charge of your accommodation and it will be fixed – eventually! If you have real difficulty report it to our representative or agent. They will be glad to do what they can to assist.

Food may also be a little different to what you're used to. You may encounter unusual dishes, but try them – you might like them. Food is a very subjective matter and often hotel menus are international in character and designed to please the greatest number of people. Unless otherwise stated, breakfast is of continental style. You may, for example, find greater use of olive oil, or food may not be served as hot as we expect in the

UK. However, most larger resorts do have restaurants and snack bars where British style dishes can be bought if you prefer it. Visitors to Egypt in particular should be aware that due to unfamiliar climate, cuisine and environment it is not unusual to suffer minor stomach upsets.

Animals & insects In many destinations cats, dogs and other animals are allowed to wander at will and there are many that are not domesticated. Please treat any animals you come across with caution and if you are bitten or scratched consult a doctor immediately.

Another factor that can alarm British visitors to the warmer climates is the number and variety of insects. Ants, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and wasps for instance are prolific, particularly in the more rural areas and little can be done about them, except regular control measures. They do not mean that your accommodation is dirty or unhygienic, although the sight of them may be disturbing if you are not used to seeing them.

Noise & building works Finally, a word about noise and building works. We have tried to give a fair description of each resort which may give you some idea of whether it is noisy or peaceful. Of course, which you prefer will depend upon the sort of holiday you are looking for. You may consider that being in the centre of a busy resort, near to all the shops, bars, discos and other entertainments is your ideal. Alternatively, you may consider such things best avoided and want a peaceful holiday. The choice is yours. Noise is a very subjective matter, for instance if you live in a rural area you are likely to find even the resorts described as quiet more noisy than you might expect. Remember life has to go on for the locals. They often start work as early as 6:30 a.m., and motorcycles are a common and popular means of transport. Many locals keep dogs or an assortment of other animals which wake up early!

Also these are holiday resorts and generally holidaymakers like to stay up late and the local entertainment tends to continue into the early hours and may be in the open air.

More information about the resorts featured is available from the Embassy or High Commission of the country you intend to visit, on the Internet, or from us, but remember check before you book.

It is also a fact of life that even the most idyllic resorts are also working towns/villages for the inhabitants and building works will occasionally be taking place. We have no control over this, but our staff will check regularly for the commencement and progress of any building work near to any of the accommodation featured and will keep us updated. If you are concerned about this, please ring us before you book your holiday and we will advise you if we know of any building works that might affect the holiday you wish to book. After you have booked if we find out about any building works going on near to your accommodation and which we think will affect the enjoyment of your holiday we will notify you. If we think that such works are likely to seriously affect your holiday, we will give you the opportunity to transfer to another holiday or cancel without penalty.

Our descriptions The descriptions of resorts and particularly of hotels, apartments etc. have been compiled as a result of inspection by our staff or information obtained from third parties. We have taken all reasonable care to ensure accuracy where our staff have inspected. In some resorts, however, you may find that if you are holidaying early or late in their season some facilities or services may be closed or unavailable either in your hotel or other accommodation, or in your resort as a whole. Some may also be dependent on the weather or the numbers of guests at the hotel or other accommodation. These things cannot be avoided and are completely outside our control.

Please note that the description 'inland view' in accommodation descriptions simply means that the accommodation faces inland, not that any particular view is available from it.

If you have a disability We have identified hotels throughout our destinations that have rooms suitable for disabled guests. If you do have specific requirements, we would recommend that you contact us before you book and we will be happy to check the suitability of the selected accommodation for your disability or needs. Please call us on 020 8492 6868 or send an email request to online.enquiries@olympicholidays.com for further information.

The Olympic 'Flame' rating The number of "flames" given to a hotel or apartments depend on feedback from our customer questionnaires and the opinions of our staff overseas. They range from 2 flames for no frills, good value, budget accommodation to 5 flames for hotels with a high level of comfort and a wide range of services and amenities. A+ after the rating indicates that we think it is of a better quality than the average in its category.

Misprints ⁄ Errors We take all reasonable care to ensure that the descriptions, prices and information are correct. Regrettably, occasionally, an error will appear.

Please contact us and we will tell you of any corrections affecting the holiday you are interested in, or send your details by email. We regret that we cannot accept any liability for such errors unless you have followed this procedure.

Other hotel guests Many hotels, especially in cities and major resorts, accommodate conventions and conferences. Also, at certain times of year, some destinations have an influx of groups, such as students, associations or clubs. The hotels that we feature are shared with guests from many countries with different cultures and customs. We have no control over the acceptance of bookings at the hotels we feature other than our own bookings. We are therefore unable to accept responsibility for any limitation of facilities due to such groups or inconvenience that their activities may cause you, but would be happy to advise which hotels or resorts we think might suit your requirements best.

All inclusive holidays We wish you to enjoy your all inclusive holiday to the full, and therefore advise you that the following applies to all inclusive holidays: On arrival you may be issued with an identity card or bracelet to be shown when ordering food and drink or using the facilities. If this is lost you may be a charged for a replacement. All hotels reserve the right to refuse to serve alcoholic drinks to guests who, in their judgment, are intoxicated. Further, we and the hotels reserve the right to confiscate identity cards/bracelets from guests who misbehave or abuse the terms of the all inclusive board basis. Different hotels offer different facilities, services and food and drink arrangements as part of their all inclusive tariff, or offer more than one grade of all inclusive tariff. We have included details where appropriate.

Please read them carefully to ensure that you select the all inclusive tariff you require.

Bungalows Some hotels offer accommodation in 'bungalows'. The term 'bungalow' is interpreted differently in many destinations particularly Cyprus and Greece where it is used to denote any low–rise building usually separate to the main building. These are rarely stand–alone units and may be more than just one storey high.

Pool ⁄ Sea views A supplement may be required for sea or pool views at some properties – please check at time of booking. Sea views in particular may sometimes be lateral or partly blocked by trees and vegetation.

Self catering accommodation For self catering accommodation, usually the description will give you a good idea what to expect, but some further explanation might be helpful: All villas, apartments etc. are provided with towels, bed linen, crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils, lighting and hot water unless stated otherwise.

Please remember however that while your basic requirements will be provided, not everything you would find in a fully equipped home will be supplied. For instance large bath and beach towels are not usually provided (except in the larger hotels) and we suggest that you take these with you. Kettles are not normally supplied in Greek accommodation, and cooking facilities range from double cooking rings to full ovens. Normally crockery and other utensils will be supplied sufficient only for the number of persons occupying the accommodation. Each Self Catering property may provide different cooking facilities. Some properties may have portable cooking rings while others only provide a kettle or sandwich maker. We have tried to specify what is available in each individual accommodation, but if this is particularly important for you, please check before you book.

Studio This means a bed sitting room style open plan apartment with twin single beds or bed settees, and adjoining or integral basic kitchenette and separate shower/WC. Kitchenette Refers to a small kitchen area which may be separated from the living/ dining area by a breakfast bar.

Beds Some of our accommodation for three or four persons involves the use of bunk or folding beds or bed settees as the third/fourth bed. You are deemed to agree to such arrangements. A room or studio for 3 or 4 persons is usually a twin room (or studio for 2) with extra beds. The addition of a third/fourth bed to some accommodation can result in shortage of space and make the accommodation rather cramped.

In our accommodation descriptions we have given the official classification of accommodation (where available). Official classifications vary from country to country, and are based on the general availability of facilities and services at a particular hotel or apartment complex. There are variations within categories. We have tried to reflect these variations in our descriptions and prices.

4 or 5 bedded rooms For great value we have a number of hotels with rooms that will sleep four or more people: great for families! Please note some room types may be at a supplement, and third or subsequent beds may be of the folding type or sofa beds.

Exclusively for adults We know that many of our clients would prefer to enjoy their holiday exclusively in the company of other adults and away from other people's children. That's why some of our hotels are designated 'Adults Only' hotels and others offer accommodation in areas specially designated for 'Adults Only'. Please see hotel descriptions for details.

“Round the house” or “Promo rooms” For some hotel accommodation you will see room types described as “Round The House” or “Promo Rooms”. “Round The House” means that while the room size/type will be specified (e.g. double, twin, family room etc.) the rooms can be located anywhere within the particular hotel: they may be sea view, side sea view, inland view, in the main building or in an annexe. For “Promo Rooms” on the contrary, the view will be specified (e.g. sea view, inland view etc.) but the room type will not except for the maximum number which may be accommodated. For “Round The House” rooms we can give no indication of location prior to your arrival and for “Promo Rooms” we can give no indication of room type prior to your arrival. If you require a specific room type or location within a hotel these rooms may not be for you, but since they are competitively priced they provide budget accommodation within hotels, We accept no liability, however, if the room type/location does not meet your wishes if you book one or more of these rooms.

General photographs Other than photographs of specific hotel/apartment buildings and rooms there may be general photographs not specific to or descriptive of the resort/accommodation featured.

Nights at resort Our prices are based on the number of nights for which your hotel or other accommodation is available.

All accommodation must be vacated by 12:00 noon on your day of departure but some destinations/accommodation require earlier check-out.

Please check on your arrival at your accommodation. In the case of arrival on a night flight your room may have been booked from the previous day to ensure that you have immediate access when you arrive and if this is the case the night/morning of your arrival will be counted as the first night of your holiday. If departing on a night/early morning flight, where possible a room may be made available for changing and storing hand luggage when you have vacated your room by 12 noon. This is in all cases subject to local availability and a charge may be made. Sometimes managements may be able to allow you to keep your room, but they are entitled to make an additional charge if they wish. Alternatively our local Representatives may be able to arrange temporary accommodation but again there will be a charge. Where half or full board has been booked flight timings may necessitate the loss of one meal. In such cases the holiday price has been reduced to compensate.

Transfers Some of the island holidays involve transfers from your arrival airport by hydrofoil or ferry. Transfers by sea will not be accompanied. Hydrofoils are used for short sea crossings and provide a much more comfortable and reliable way to travel than ferries which may, however, be a great way to see something of different islands during your holiday. Both can be affected by sea and weather conditions and there is absolutely nothing that anyone can do about this.

All transfer times stated assume that everything is working properly

and take no account of delays for the variety of reasons that can affect all types of transport. In some cases access for vehicles, particularly coaches, to accommodation is restricted and therefore you may be dropped at the nearest accessible point. You may have to carry your luggage for the last distance in these circumstances. Where there is a transfer between islands by ferry as part of your holiday arrangements, please note that we recommend day flights to permit ferry transfers on the same day where possible.

However, ferry sailing times do not always allow this. In such cases you will (if appropriate) be provided with temporary accommodation on the island at which your aircraft arrives until the next ferry sailing. In such cases your stay at your accommodation may be shorter than the full 7 or 14 nights you have booked. No refund will, however, be payable. In some instances it may also be necessary to bring you back to your airport island earlier should ferry schedules not allow enough time to comfortable travel on the same day as your return flight. You may also be required to return to your airport island should bad weather or ferry strikes be forecasted for your planned departure day. Further information on our transfers can be found online at https://www.olympicholidays.com/help/transferinformation/ Please note that in some cases your transfer coach may have to wait for later flight arrivals before departing.

If booking private taxi transfers please ensure you book enough vehicles to transport all passengers together with one piece of luggage per person.

Island Hopping Tickets for your ferry will be given to you on arrival by a local representative. They will be in an Olympic envelope and must be kept safe, until you board the ferry. The ferry tickets are not replaceable and new ones would need to be purchased if lost. Inside your envelope with the tickets will be detailed information relating to your itinerary.

Subsequent tickets will be given 24-48 hours prior to the next leg of the Island Hopping.

Should your flight be delayed or your flight arrives after the last ferry has departed, our staff member in resort will arrange an overnight accommodation for you. This could be located anywhere as it depends on availability. We cannot advise you of these arrangements in advance as ferry times can change. This is all arranged for you by Olympic Holidays and there is no extra charge for accommodation*. Unless you have a board basis booked in your holidays, meals will not be provided. *This is only applicable if you have booked transfers with us. Further information on our island hopping itineraries can be found online at https://www.olympicholidays.com/help/island-hopping-faq/ Distances Where practicable the distances quoted have been measured. However where we give distances in terms of walking time, these are on the basis that an average person walks 1 kilometre in 10 minutes. Maps are not to scale and are for general guidance only.

Local customs We at Olympic love the destinations we offer and we think you will too.

However, the local people have their own, sometimes idiosyncratic, way of doing things and we thought we ought to tell you about some of them: 1. Water, Plumbing and Drainage: Generally tap water is drinkable throughout Greece and Cyprus, but bottled water is widely available, if preferred. We recommend that you do not drink tap water in other destinations, nor use it for e.g. cleaning your teeth or washing food, but use bottled water instead. Water is a valuable resource, in many areas of the world and occasionally water pressure may fall or fail altogether.

Relax. You will not be left without water for long. Many properties now rely on solar power for water heating, and therefore on overcast days – hopefully few and far between – or early or late in the day hot water may be in short supply. In some areas, water is sometimes very scarce and the water supplied may be seawater rather than fresh. Plumbing can be a little different from here. Problems can occur, especially in peak season. Do like the locals – and help minimise problems. Observe notices about the disposal of used paper in the bins provided, which will be emptied regularly. Showers in some areas – particularly the Greek Islands tend to be compact with a hand held shower, and maybe no shower curtain, or even shower tray. Drainage is often through a drainage outlet in the floor and the room will get very wet when the shower is in use. Please be extremely careful when negotiating wet floors.

2. Electricity Voltages: In Cyprus, for instance it is 240v from 3 pin sockets, the same as the UK, but in Greece it is 220v. In neither place therefore, is any transformer required, but in Greece the sockets are of the 2 pin continental type so that an adapter will be required. Other countries vary and we suggest you check with the Tourist organisation for the Country you are visiting to see what adapters etc. may be necessary. In the more rural areas of most countries, public lighting is scarce and you may wish to take a small torch – especially if you will be staying at one of our more secluded properties.

3. Safety: While we at Olympic are committed to ensuring your safety while on holiday, please remember that safety and other standards which apply in the resorts and accommodation featured are those of the country concerned, and not British standards. Local standards are regrettably normally much lower than British, which are generally among the highest in the world.

4. Dress: Please also note that in 4 and 5 star hotels (Class A and Deluxe in Greece) it is generally required that men wear long trousers at least for the evening meal. If visiting churches or other religious sites, please respect the local tradition by avoiding shorts and wearing sleeved upper garments. To be on the safe side, please check with your representative first as to any dress requirements.

5. Accommodation: While the 4 and 5 star hotels we feature are among the best in the available, self–catering properties (although not in Cyprus) tend towards the more simple and basic, although we have selected from the best we will always ensure that accommodation is clean and comfortable, but you must be tolerant of the fact that not everything we would regard as standard in Britain will be available.

Also, during a long busy season, items do get broken, become worn or go missing. If you find this, please do not get annoyed. Relax and report it to your representative who will ensure that it is replaced.

Maid service will typically be provided two or three times a week (depending on area and type and grade of accommodation booked) and linen will be changed mostly twice a week. In Cyprus maid service will be between 3 and 6 times per week and linen will normally be changed twice a week. Since maids are very busy during peak seasons, if you find a pocket of sand or dust that has been missed, please don't worry. It will be dealt with next time round.

Air conditioning, where present, may only be switched on during the height

224

of Summer to conserve power. Generally, however, you should not expect air conditioning in self catering accommodation or the lower grade hotels.

In Cyprus, though, where air conditioning is much more widely available, a charge may be made locally for it in self catering accommodation.

As a general rule, remember that your accommodation is not home. It is a base for your holiday, not the holiday itself. Please also remember that the comfort and quality of your accommodation is related to the price you pay for your holiday. Ultimately you decide what you want in the way of comfort and conveniences by the price you choose to pay for your holiday.

Accommodation allocated on arrival We will sometimes offer holidays where the accommodation is allocated on arrival. This means that you leave the choice of accommodation and resort to our resort office or representatives at the specified arrival airport (and, where relevant, island). Therefore, you will not know the names of the resort or the accommodation, or the facilities they have, until you arrive at your destination. We do not guarantee that you will be allocated one of the accommodations or resorts featured as we are continuously contracting rooms in other resorts and accommodations not featured.

We will neither guarantee whether your accommodation will be in a hotel, apart–hotel or apartment complex nor whether it will be a room, a studio or an apartment. Where holidays are for durations longer than 7 nights we will endeavour to ensure that you remain in the accommodation initially allocated to you throughout your stay. However, there is a possibility that you may be moved to another accommodation during your stay. We recommend that if you have specific needs or requirements, or if you wish to ensure that your accommodation or resort has certain features, you book named accommodation and do not choose this type of holiday.

Porterage & tipping Porterage is not included in the cost of the holidays, although it will be available at the better quality hotels. Especially in more secluded areas, our advice would be to travel as lightly as possible! Tipping is conventional in most countries (provided service is not included in restaurant bills) and 10–15% of the amount of the bill is customary.

Booking Conditions Please read the following terms and conditions carefully. They, together with the Holiday Information (which is incorporated into these Booking Conditions), apply to all holidays and flights and they deal with your rights and obligations to us and ours to you.

Identity and Security Olympic Holidays is a trading name of Travelworld Vacations Ltd which will be the other party to the contract created when you book holiday/flight arrangements. Our address is c/o Interaction Worldwide Ltd, 1 Torrington Park, London N12 9TB; telephone number 020 8343 7300; email enquiries@olympicholidays.com. Travelworld Vacations Ltd holds an ATOL number 4108 issued by the Civil Aviation Authority, Gatwick Airport South, West Sussex RH6 0YR; telephone 0333 103 6350; email claims@caa. co.uk. When you book a flight-inclusive holiday or flight-only arrangement with us you can be entirely confident that in the unlikely event of our insolvency before or during your holiday, any money you have paid to us is fully secured and, if you are overseas, that full arrangements will be made to repatriate you. We are also members of ABTA – the Travel Association 30, Park Street, London SE1 9EQ with membership number V8302. As such we are fully bonded according to ABTA’s rules for arrangements that do not include a flight. Please go to ABTA’s website for a copy of the Guide to ABTA’s scheme of Financial Protection. We also abide by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We can also offer you ABTA’s scheme for the resolution of disputes which is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute. If we can't resolve your complaint, go to ABTA's website to use ABTA's simple procedure. Further information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on the ABTA website. In order to ensure that the monies you pay for your holiday are protected we will issue an ATOL Certificate for all flight-inclusive bookings which will be emailed to you when the booking is made listing what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. We will also email you a confirmation invoice showing the details of the services that you have booked including the price and the amount of money paid by you. You should check these details carefully and contact your travel agent or us immediately if there are any discrepancies.

We will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases where we aren't able to do so for reasons of insolvency, and alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or to your credit card issuer where applicable).

If we are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.

Your contract with us When you book a holiday or other arrangement with us a contract between us will only come into effect when we send our confirmation email and ATOL Certificate (for arrangements involving a flight). Both you and we are contractually committed from the moment we send our confirmatory email subject to our right of cancellation as set out in the following paragraph and these Booking Conditions. You also guarantee that you have the authority to accept, and do accept, on behalf of all members of your party the terms of these Booking Conditions.

When the contract comes into effect, we become responsible to provide you with the holiday or other arrangement you have booked, and you become responsible to pay for it. Whilst we make every effort to ensure that the prices quoted and in our confirmation email are accurate, because of the wide range of prices many of which are provided by third parties, should an error occur, either through our own fault or the fault of our suppliers, we reserve the right to cancel your booking with a full refund, if we do so within 72 hours from when your booking was confirmed.

Excursions or other activities or facilities you may book in resort are not

part of your holiday booking with us and your contract will be with the operator of the excursion or activity or provider of the facility and not with us.

Persons aged 16 or 17 years old We will only accept and confirm bookings for persons aged 16 or 17 years old (at the date of return), who are travelling unaccompanied by a responsible adult, when a signed and completed ‘Under-age booking waiver’ form is received from a responsible adult. This form outlines that the adult signing is to be accountable for any costs or damages arising from the booking or its cancellation. For certain arrangements, the acceptance of bookings from persons under the age of 18 depends on the airline and accommodation selected and for this reason we cannot accept such bookings. Our Call Centre 020 8492 6868 will be able to advise and, if permissible, book the required arrangements.

Download under-age booking waiver form Flight and accommodation suppliers When you book we may purchase flight seats from various airlines in order to fulfil your exact holiday requirements. Each of those airlines has its own booking conditions and conditions of carriage which are incorporated into and form part of your agreement with us to the extent that they impose a greater obligation on you than do these conditions. You can obtain a copy of those conditions on the website of the relevant airline or by asking us and we will provide a copy.

We may also book accommodation with third party suppliers specifically to meet your accommodation requirements. In these circumstances the hotelier or other supplier of your accommodation have their own booking terms and conditions which are incorporated into these conditions and form part of our contract with you. We will supply a copy of such conditions to you on request. Our administration charges (see "if you wish to make changes after booking" below); and cancellation charges (see "if you cancel" below) are significantly different in these circumstances.

For all bookings While this website is primarily intended for use by UK residents, anyone anywhere in the world is welcome to search for and book travel/accommodation arrangements from it. Our pricing is specifically negotiated for the UK market and applies to passengers traveling on a British Passport. Clients travelling on any other passport may not qualify for our UK prices, and as a result, different charges may be applicable and payable locally to the hotel on arrival. We reserve the right to cancel, without assigning a reason, any booking made by a person or company residing or carrying on business in the same country as the accommodation facilities which have been booked. If we cancel any booking under this provision we shall, of course, refund fully any payment which has been made to us in respect of it.

Please note that it is important you check carefully our confirmation invoice when you receive it, to ensure that all details are as you require them. Our obligation is to provide or procure the provision of the arrangements you have booked and confirmed to you. If you wish to change or cancel those arrangements later, you may have to pay an amendment or cancellation charge and additional costs (see below) which may be as much as the whole of the original price of your arrangements.

In parties of two or more people, the person who actually makes the booking (the first person named when you enter those details) is the person with whom we make the contract and that person accepts responsibility for making all payments to us for all members of the party.

Conversely, we will send all documents and other information to that person alone, who will be responsible for ensuring that all other members of the party are kept fully informed.

Prices All prices shown are in pounds sterling per person. We reserve the right to change the prices shown at any time before you book. If we do you will be told of the revised price applicable to the arrangements you require before you commit yourself. Once you have booked the price of your holiday is fully guaranteed and will not be subject to any surcharges.

Payment If you book more than 12 weeks before your scheduled departure date, we have arranged special low deposits as follows: Flight inclusive holidays If you have booked a flight-inclusive holiday arrangement, including (but not limited to) a British Airways, Aegean Airlines, Air Malta, Wizz Air or Ryanair flight, the deposit payable on booking is the full price of the flight (which will be displayed during the booking process) plus £2.50 per person ATOL Protection Charge, except for infants who will be less than 2 years old on the date of return.

If you have booked a flight-inclusive holiday arrangement, including (but not limited to) a Jet2 flight, the deposit payable on booking is £89.00 (which will be displayed during the booking process) plus £2.50 per person ATOL Protection Charge, except for infants who will be less than 2 years old on the date of return.

If the flight selected is with any airline other than those where the full flight price is required as a deposit (see above – you will be informed during the booking process), the deposit will be £89.00 per person including £2.50 ATOL Protection Charge for all persons except infants who will be less than 2 years old on the date of return.

Island hopping For island hopping holidays the deposit payable on booking is £200 per person, again including £2.50 per person ATOL Protection Charge, except for infants who will be less than 2 years old on the date of return. If your Island Hopping itinerary includes flights on British Airways or Aegean Airlines, Air Malta, Wizz Air or Ryanair, the deposit payable will be the full price of the flight(s) plus £200 per person including £2.50 per person ATOL protection charge (excluding infants less than 2 years old on the date of your return).

Flight only bookings In all cases the full price of the flight will be payable when you book plus £2.50 ATOL Protection Charge per person (excluding infants who will be under the age of 2 on the date of your return).

Accommodation only bookings When booking accommodation only more than 12 weeks before the selected date of occupation of the accommodation the deposit payable on booking is £89.00 per person. In all cases, any balance will be payable 12 weeks before your scheduled departure date. Please note that if you have made a booking and paid our low deposit, additional cancellation charges will apply if you cancel; see "if you cancel" below. If you book less than 12 weeks before your scheduled departure date, then the full price of all booked arrangements is payable when you book.

Payment can be made by any major Credit or Debit card. There are no additional charges if you pay by either Credit or Debit Card. Where the Debit card is issued by a bank outside of the UK, there will be a 2% surcharge.

Please note that when your booking includes checked baggage as an addition, the price of this may be non-refundable even if you subsequently cancel (see "if you cancel" below). The ATOL Protection Charge protects you from the moment that you book and so is not refundable if you later cancel.

When you buy a flight-based holiday with us through a travel agent, all

monies you pay to the travel agent are held by the agent on behalf and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust at all times. This is subject to the agent’s obligation to pay it to us for so long as we do not fail. If we fail, any money held at that time by the agent, or subsequently accepted from you by the agent, is and continues to be held on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust without any obligation to pay that money to us. When you buy a holiday not including a flight, all monies you pay to the travel agent are held by the agent on our behalf at all times.

Please note that your booking may be cancelled if you do not make payment on time (and we will not normally send reminders) and if it is, cancellation charges as set out under "if you cancel"(see below) will be payable by you.

Special requests If you have any special request, which is not mentioned in connection with the arrangements described (for example dietary requirements or a need for special assistance) please inform us. We will always do our best to meet such requests but cannot guarantee to do so, and in no circumstances will any such request be accepted by us so as to form part of our contractual obligations.

Insurance It is a condition of travel that you obtain comprehensive travel insurance covering the duration of your holiday. You do not have to purchase Travel Insurance through Insuratrip, the insurer linked from our website, however if you choose to do so this option is available to purchase. Please note that if you do not have adequate insurance and are taken ill or have to return home early from your holiday you could be responsible for all costs incurred.

Privacy Policy Olympic Holidays is committed to protecting your privacy and, as well as your personal safety, the safety and security of the information you provide us with. We take our responsibilities regarding the security of customer information very seriously. Our privacy policy explains what personal data we collect about you, how and why we use it, who we disclose it to, and how we protect your privacy. View our full Privacy Policy on our website https://www.olympicholidays.com/about-us/privacy-policy/.

If you wish to make changes after booking If you wish to make any changes to the arrangements you have booked after we have issued the confirmation invoice, we will try to help but will have no obligation to do so other than allowing any member of your party to transfer his/her booking to someone else who meets all the conditions attaching to your booking providing that written notice is given not less than 7 days before the scheduled departure date with full details of the proposed transfer. In these circumstances you will remain liable with the transferee for payment of the price of the transferred arrangements together with any additional costs arising from the transfer. For this and any other changes you must write to Interaction Worldwide Ltd (who provide a support service for us) at 1 Torrington Park, London N12 9TB or email customer.services@olympicholidays.com detailing the change(s) required. If we can help we will make a fixed administration charge as follows: Number of days before departure Amendment charge More than 70 days £35 per person per detail changed 70 days or less £50 per person per detail changed If it is possible to make any change to your flight or accommodation arrangements (which is not always the case) we will recharge to you any amendment charge made to us by the flight or accommodation supplier in addition to our own amendment charges detailed in the table above.

Often it will not be possible to amend some flight arrangements without cancelling (at 100% cancellation charge) and rebooking them and if you decide to proceed with your required change in these circumstances, you will be liable for the full costs of cancelling and rebooking in addition to our amendment charge as detailed in the table above. In all cases these amendment charges are non-refundable and in addition to any further costs incurred by any change requested. Please also note that if on any booking we agree to change the date of travel to a date in another season, the administration charge will be £40 per person in addition to any other charge as set out above.

If you change the number of people in your party the price of the arrangements will be recalculated based on the new party size. If, for example, a party is reduced in size this may mean that accommodation is under-occupied and each member of the party may therefore have to pay an increased price in addition to administration charges as set out above. Please note that any increase in price in these circumstances is not usually a cancellation charge for the purpose of your insurance cover, even though it might arise from the cancellation of one or more members of your party.

If you cancel Because we start to incur costs or liabilities in relation to your arrangements from the time we confirm your booking, if you cancel we have to make a charge, and the nearer to your departure date you cancel, the more the charge will be. If you wish to cancel a confirmed booking, you can do so by calling us on 020 8492 6799 or by emailing us at customer.services@olympicholidays.com. If you prefer to send a letter, confirming cancellation, in the post, the address is Interaction Worldwide Ltd, 1 Torrington Park, London, N12 9TB. Cancellation takes effect from the date you call us or from the date your letter or email is received. Cancellation charges will be as shown below (which also apply if we cancel because you have failed to make payments on time - see "Payment" above) and will be payable immediately on cancellation. Due to having a variety of products to meet your requirements, the cancellation terms differ between them. Please read carefully the cancellation charges that apply to the arrangements you have booked with us. Please contact us if you are in any doubt: All holiday bookings incorporating a flight If you cancel a holiday booking incorporating a flight with any airline more than 12 weeks prior to your scheduled departure date, cancellation charges will be the deposit you paid when booking and any administration charges incurred or paid.

If you cancel a holiday booking incorporating a flight with any airline with 12 weeks or less, prior to your scheduled departure date, cancellation charges will be 100% of the total price of the arrangements you have booked with us plus the ATOL Protection Charge, any baggage charge and any administration charges incurred or paid.

Bookings for accommodation only In all cases if you cancel an accommodation only booking more than 12 weeks before the date you are scheduled to depart the UK, the cancellation charges payable by you will be the amount of the deposit you paid when booking your accommodation only arrangement plus any administration charges. Within 12 weeks of the date you are due to depart the UK, cancellation will mean cancellation charges of 100% of the price of the arrangements you booked with us plus any administration charges.

For all bookings Remember that if one or more of your party cancels this may also mean that the price of the arrangements for the remainder of the party may increase to reflect this.If you have to cancel for a reason covered by insurance (whether arranged through the link on our website or otherwise) and follow the procedure laid down by insurers, you should be able to reclaim the cancellation charges.

Please note, that if you cancel or curtail your holiday while overseas and return early, no refund will be made. Please also note that the ATOL Protection Charge of £2.50 per person cannot be cancelled once you have booked.

Finally, in making your booking with us you authorise us, without making any further reference to you, to charge any debit or credit card used to pay the deposit when making your booking with the full amount of cancellation charges payable by you if you cancel your booking or any part of it. After we have debited the credit or debit card we will inform you of the amount of cancellation charges so debited.

If we make changes Because the descriptions etc in this brochure are prepared many months before the start of the arrangements offered, we reserve the right to change any of the details shown in it at any time before we confirm your booking. If any such details are changed, you will be informed before we confirm your booking. Sometimes, even after we have confirmed your booking we may make alterations to your confirmed arrangements. Most such alterations will be insignificant and of little effect on your overall arrangements, and in that case, while we will notify you of any such minor change before your departure, we will have no other liability to you.

Occasionally, however, because of circumstances beyond our control we may have to make a significant change to your confirmed arrangements.

Significant changes include, for example the following (but this is not an exhaustive list): • Change of UK departure airport (except between the airports serving London: Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, London City and Stansted) • Change of your time of departure from the UK by more than 12 hours • Change of resort area • Change of holiday accommodation to accommodation of a lower official rating NB: A change of arrival/departure airport in Cyprus or a flight operating with a stop-over at another airport does not constitute a significant change.

If we have to make a significant change, we will notify* you as quickly as possible and you may then either: • Accept the change, and the contract between us will then be varied to incorporate the change; or • Take alternative arrangements altogether (subject to availability). If the alternative arrangements selected are of a lower price than those originally confirmed, the difference will (if already paid) be refunded to you. If the alternative is more expensive, then you will have to pay the difference; or • Withdraw from the booking completely in which case we will, refund the cost of the booking, less any administration charges.

Please read any notification of changes carefully and respond promptly as if you do not respond within the timescale given your booking may be cancelled.

In addition, if you choose either the first or second option above – that is to accept the change or to take alternative arrangements - you will receive as compensation a credit towards the cost of your arrangements, or any alternative selected, of the amount shown in the table below.

Number of days before departure when we notify* you of a major change Compensation in pounds per person Advice in resort to 7 days £25 8 to 14 days £20 15 to 28 days £15 29 to 42 days £10 43 days or over NIL Please note that the compensation scales shown above apply to full fare paying adults only. Children or others travelling at concessionary rates will receive compensation pro rata based on the concessionary price against the full adult price as shown in the confirmation invoice containing the arrangements that you have booked current at the time of your booking.

Infants do not qualify for compensation. This compensation is in full settlement of and discharges all liability to you. *Notice is deemed to have been given to you on the second day after the notification has been posted by us, or immediately you or your travel agent have been informed verbally or by email of any change to which this section "If We Make Changes" relates.

Important Note The above compensation does not apply when we are forced to cancel your arrangements or make changes which cause you to withdraw, or to cancel your arrangements by reason of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control and the consequences of which we could not have avoided by the exercise of all reasonable measures. In these circumstances our only liability will be to refund, as soon as possible, the cost of the booking, less any administration charges.

Our liability to you You must inform us without undue delay of any failure to perform or improper performance of any travel service, whether by us or the supplier of the service concerned, included in your booked arrangements. Other than the foregoing you may be entitled to an appropriate price reduction, compensation or both because of failure to perform, or the improper performance, of the contract made when your booking is confirmed (subject to any changes subsequently agreed between us) unless: A) The failures which occur in the performance of the contract are attributable to you or some other person in your party; B) Such failures in performance are attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the services contracted for and are unforeseeable or unavoidable; or C) Such failures are due to unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances (which means a situation beyond our control) the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken: Our liability to you is, in any event limited to the lesser of the following: 1) Except in the case of damages for death, physical illness or personal physical injury three times the price of the holiday of the person claiming; or 2) The minimum amount payable under any international convention governing or relating to the provision of the service complained of such as the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation or any other convention.

3) The minimum amount payable under the contract terms and conditions of the providers of any service forming part of the arrangements you have booked which are incorporated into the contract between us and which may limit or exclude liability in certain circumstances.

Please note any reference to, or liability for, personal injury is deemed to refer to physical injury only and excludes psychological injury, damage or trauma.

You can ask for copies of any convention or contract terms of any supplier by contacting us – details are given under "Identity and Security" above.

Under EU law you may be entitled in some circumstances to a refund or compensation from your carrying airline or other service provider.

However, your right to payment in such cases will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost or compensation from us. Your rights are set out in these Booking Conditions. However, if any payment is made to you by your airline or other service provider, and if any payment is due to you from us, any payment made by the airline or other service provider will be deducted.

If you are in difficulty during your holiday and ask us, we will provide what appropriate assistance we can, such as providing information about local health services and facilities, local authorities, or consular assistance and we will also help you to find alternative arrangements. However, unless the difficulty arises from our fault, you must pay for any costs involved or for any alternative arrangement you make.

Please Note that this entire clause "Our liability to you" does not apply to any separate agreement that you may enter into for excursions or other activities while on holiday Complaint procedure If, before you depart, you are unhappy with our services or have any other complaint, you must write in to customer.services@olympicholidays. com to notify us and give us an opportunity to deal with the matter. While you are overseas, if you or any member of your party has any complaint about the performance of any of the services provided as part of the arrangements we have confirmed, you must firstly raise your complaint promptly with our local representative (or if none our local agent or the supplier of the service) who will do their best to resolve the matter to your satisfaction on the spot. If this cannot be achieved, you must obtain and complete a report form from our representative, agent or supplier outlining your complaint. We will have no liability for any claim on your return from holiday unless this procedure has been followed.

On your return to the United Kingdom, if you still wish to pursue your complaint, you must write to Interaction Worldwide Ltd at 1, Torrington Park, London N12 9TB, quoting your booking reference number and giving all relevant details of your complaint. Interaction are authorised to deal with all complaints and claims made against us and it is important that they are enabled to investigate or forward all complaints quickly, and we therefore ask that your letter is received within 28 days of your return to the UK. Please note that we cannot accept any correspondence or claims from any other member of your party (although you may write on their behalf). If you fail to follow up any complaint made in resort with a letter within the time specified above, we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify it and this may affect your rights under this booking. Please also see under "Identity and Security" above about our membership of ABTA and the approved scheme for resolution of disputes.

Flights The flight times are given for guidance only and they can be subject to change as a result of decisions of the various UK and overseas airport scheduling committees or for various other reasons e.g. flight consolidation. Please check your itinerary carefully when you receive it as it will have the actual flight timings on it. It is against these times that your entitlement to compensation, or to cancel your booking under "If we make changes" above will be measured.

You are reminded that captains of aircraft have absolute authority over the aircraft and its passengers while boarding or in flight. The captain or other authorised representative of the airline can refuse to carry anyone if they are intoxicated, unruly, unfit to travel, or a danger to the flight or other passengers. If you or any member of your party is refused carriage in these circumstances, the contract between us will terminate immediately and we will have no further responsibility for, nor liability to, you or any member of your party.

Termination / indemnity When you book arrangements with us you accept responsibility for the proper conduct of yourself and your party while those arrangements are being provided. If your behaviour or that of any member of your party is such that it causes or is likely to cause distress, damage, danger or annoyance to any of our clients, employees or anyone else responsible for providing any part of your holiday or travel arrangements, we may terminate your holiday, flight or accommodation arrangements immediately and will have no further liability to provide any further service or facility, nor for any refund, compensation or any additional costs which you incur. If your actions or omissions, or those of any member of your party cause damage to any property utilised in the provision of the contracted arrangements, or cause damage, delay or diversion to any flight or other means of transportation, you agree to fully indemnify us against any claim (including professional fees and legal costs) made against us by or on behalf of the owner of such property, or the operator of the flight or other means of transportation.

Images During your holiday we may photograph, film or video (which includes all methods of capturing, storing and processing the resulting images whether in material or immaterial form) scenes which may include you and/or your family/travelling companions. This is particularly the case if you have booked a wedding with us which includes photographs or video(s) of the occasion. In making your booking you agree for yourself and on behalf of all members of the party included in your booking that any images of or including you, any member(s) of your family, or travelling companions taken or arranged to be taken by us may be utilised by us for or reproduction in any publication (on or off line), presentation, sales or marketing communication (including e-mail or any other electronic communication) or campaign without limitation and to the extent necessary you licence us to utilise any such images in whole or in part for any and all such or related purposes and also waive any moral right to any such images.

Jurisdiction & the law The contract arising from any confirmed arrangements is to be interpreted according to, and subject to the laws of England, no matter where you live or book your holiday, and both you and we agree that the Courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim or dispute under or concerning it. We agree any action or proceedings brought against Travelworld Vacations Ltd may be served at the offices of Interaction Worldwide Ltd, 1, Torrington Park, London N12 9TB, United Kingdom and if served there, we will accept them as having been validly served upon us.

0% credit card fees Pay 0% fees when you use a credit card to pay part or your full outstanding balance.
