Our company, EL GRECO was set up in 1979 in Chania, Crete, and has been run by Mr Margiolakis Evangelos from the outset. At first EL GRECO HOTEL established in the old town of Chania and then in 1984 we opened our car hire company. In 1987 we have opened a travel agency for incoming services and then in 1998 we have extended our services in ticketing and outgoing tourism.

The company has since developed into a very successful tourism organization in Greece, with travel agencies, hotel and car hire company.

The agency, with head office in Chania, has a total of 2 branches in Crete’s biggest tourist centres and 1 branch in Cyprus.

Our affiliated company, EL GRECO Rent a Car, has some 95 rental cars, which means guests have the opportunity to explore Crete under their own steam. What we call our Fly and Drive Programme is available both with and without hotel reservations. Rent a Car has branches and other co operators all over the island too, so that rental cars can be collected and returned almost anywhere on the island and in every contracted hotel.
