I am out of the office this week visiting hotels in Crete. Keep an eye out for some stunning properties to come over the next few days.

I will have my laptop with me but as I am on hotel visits, I may not be able to respond immediately.

If your matter is of an urgent nature, please call 0115 654 7795 and leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

So I’m about ready for tonight at The Travel Gossip Geordie Ball. I started in the travel industry 30 years ago and tonight I’m up for an award for Excellence in Customer Service. Irrespective of whether I win or not, to be shortlisted is recognition itself and I’m proud of the service I give to my customers. Here’s to a great night!

We cant quite believe it. 5 years today Verini Travel (or CT4N Travel as it was known then) and The Greek Specialist became a reality. During that time we have had our ups and downs as any business does, we went through Covid, I completed a management buyout and went through the rebranding to Verini Travel. The one thing that has stayed constant is our approach to customer service where we really want the best for our customers. The business would not be where it is today without help from other people so thank you Ian Combellack, Ben Cheshire, Caroline Whitby, Julie Allen, Marian Harper, Protected Trust Services, and my parents George & Gwen

Thank you also to the amazing suppliers who I have had the pleasure of working with over that time - Caroline Cairns, Penny Naoum, Joanne Palladium, Lisa Jones, Tasha Smith Sig, Mark Richardson Constantinou Bros, Kev Gaddes, Darren Eade, and many others who I cant tag.

I have had the opportunity thanks to those suppliers for amazing trips to Jamaica, Halkidiki, Crete, Zakynthos, Athens and Cyprus so that I can share the knowledge I have learnt with my customers.

Its also great to be working with other travel agents so that I can assist them with their Greek enquiries.

Onwards and upwards!

When something goes wrong, it’s all about how you deal with it! This customer was hit by the ferry cancellations in Greece on Sunday but we found him an alternative way home and to get a message/review like this makes it all worthwhile.

Our first The Greek Specialist blog of 2025

Hellenikon. A name that may not mean anything to some but for seasoned island-hoppers it could well bring back memories of the old Athens Airport which closed in 2001, near to the resort of Glyfada....
