Additional Information

IMPORTANT

Please note we highly recommend that clients purchase personal insurance, as ferries and/or flights in Greece are subject to delays and cancellations due to high winds or weather conditions on the mainland and the islands. This means that clients may need to change their plans on-site to accommodate the new schedule changes. Unfortunately, this also means that they may incur some extra fees for extra transfers, hotel, and/or loss of an excursion. Once returned to Canada, the disbursements may be claimed with their insurance company.
