Our Company

Our company, "El Greco Tours" was set up in 1979 in Chania, Crete by Mr Evangelos Margiolakis. Its first business was a hotel and a car hire company. Having clients from all over Europe, the Middle East, North America and Canada, with various needs, the company managed to differentiate itself from the others, by fulfilling these various and different needs. Later, with the help of his son, Markos Margiolakis, "El Greco Tours" managed to develop itself into a very successful tourism organisation in Greece, with travel agencies, hotels and car hire wholesaling deals, as well as incentives and conferences organizing department. Mr Christos Vasileiou is our Contracts and Operation Manager, with high experience in the hospitality industry and with great skills in managing any kind of emergencies.

With its headquarters in Crete, El Greco group of companies, is an independent Travel Organization with a wide presence in Athens and mainland, the Aegean and Ionian islands and of course in Cyprus.
