KOSMAR.CO.UK

My family and I know what we want from a holiday, we actually have a checklist. Quiet location, but not too far from the airport, close to at least one supermarket and a few tavernas, an on-site pool (keeps the kids occupied) and a balcony (for night-time wine slurping). Oh and it has to be in Greece. We find all we require by booking through Kosmar. Kosmar claim to be the UK’s No 1 specialist travel company to Greece and it’s easy to see why. An ...
...huge discounts or fancy frills with their holiday packages as their prices are extremely competitive to start with. We are travelling to Crete next year with them in the children’s summer holidays and are paying less than £1500 for a family of four (including all insurances and supplements). Mind, we had to book before the brochure was actually published to get what we wanted. We have found that the apartments suitable for families are snapped up ...

Review of KOSMAR.CO.UK

Up until About 7 years ago my partner and I always travelled with First Choice as they offered good accommodation at reasonable prices, however since their take over - like a lot of holiday companies their prices seem to have rocketed sky high. So the search for a cheaper holiday began. Being a bit of a bargain hunter I like to first look at locations on offer then compose a list of 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices from a selection of brochures then calculate ...
...see it is that if you can save a little on your accomodation you can enjoy a few more lavish treats whilst away!!. So this done Kosmar came out tops (with Olympic a close second). Kosmar offers accomodation in 29 different areas of Greece ranging from the Mainland to the smaller islands and they have 24 years experience in specialised holidays to Greece. Bookings taken for holidays between 1st May – 31st October each year. Prices in May for 1 week ...

Review of KOSMAR.CO.UK

Last September we decided that we needed two weeks in the sun and settled on Greece as our choice of destination. So off we went to the local travel agents to furnish ourselves with a good selection of brochures. Whilst grabbing the usual Airtours, First Choice and JMC Brochures the assistant asked us where we were hoping to go, when we told her Greece she gave us the Kosmar brochure and said that the were highly recommended as Greece Tour Operators. ...
...we would probably like to visit one of the Greek Islands and that we wanted to go mid to end May, 2004 as we knew that the weather would not be unbearably hot as we were travelling with our 18 month old child. We wanted somewhere that was not too long a distance from the airport and offered a quiet and relaxing holiday. We also wanted our accommodation to have it’s own pool and we required a two bedroom apartment as we had decided to treat my mum ...

Review of KOSMAR.CO.UK

We have just returned (October) from a week in the resort of Kefalos on the island of Kos. We booked the holiday online about two months ago and we cannot argue about the price, £375 for two adults including flights and transfers. The flight was with Air Malta flying from Bristol. We stayed at the self catering "Anastasia Apartments". The Apartments were described as 4 Star. I think this was pretty generous - on a facilities/decor basis. On a location ...
...end of the bay next to the marina. The beach was just ten meters from our balcony and the sea is beautiful for swimming and snorkelling (take bread to feed the fish). The accomodation was very basic but clean and adequate. Towels and bedding was changed once during the week. We didn't exactly expect British standard four star as the package was so cheap. There were one or two problems, like only one lightbulb worked (there were four in the apartment). ...

Review of KOSMAR.CO.UK

Having just got back (well a few days ago) from a weeks holiday I thought I might share my experiance with you. We booked one weeks holiday in Gumbet Turkey with Kosmar approximatly ten weeks ago, through our local independent travel agents. We were drawn to this holiday because of the price really, but the hotel looked fantastic with a big pool, childrens section of the pool plus entertainment of an evening, this was ideal for us as we were travelling ...
...to go anywhere that was to be too lively. The flights were good too being daytime flights both there and back. Anyway we booked it and everything was running smoothly, confirmation came via the post nicely presented with the Kosmar logo and all correct details on it. Then it started to go wrong! A letter came via the post again stating that our flights had changed nearly 5 hours each way making us arrive into Bodrum at 11pm in the evening and on ...

Well after the collapse of XL taking KOSMAR with it, I am sorry to say I told you so with my worries when I first wrote this review. The other half of the FOUNTAIN travel group (My brothers family) were caught up in the mess. They had booked for 10 Family members to have two weeks in Crete in September. They found out about the collapse 6 days before departure, and you can imagine the problem fixing up a large party with an alternative. They did ...

Review of KOSMAR.CO.UK

All we wanted was a reasonably priced, relaxing holiday to somewhere hot and beautiful, so we went along to our travel agent and picked up a few brochures. Once we had finally decided to settle on going to Kafelonia, we began looking for studios or apartments in our desired destination Skala. However we realised that this could be quite expensive as the prices companies were charging were phenomenal…until we came across Kosmar. Kosmar apartments ...
...and they had a very good selection in their brochure, so we went along to our travel agent and booked with Kosmar. Another bonus to Kosmar is that you get a free, (and delicious) meal on the plane. (However if like me you are a vegetarian, you do need to pre-book it) Once we arrived in Kafelonia, the reps were at the airport to meet us and directed us to our coach. Although we arrived at night, the rep was fantastic on our coach as we drove through ...

Review of KOSMAR.CO.UK

After talking about going on holiday since last year with my other half and two other friends we finally booked our weeks holiday in Jan 2002 with Travelcare. Our total holiday (including parking and isurance) came to a total of just over £300 per person. Travelcare offered some good deals. None of us had been to Greece before and we were told Kosmar were a good company to go with as they are Greece specialists. At a previous travel agents though ...
...Kosmar as they had a lot of complaints about them and their service. I was a little unsure about booking with them after being told this but I think that agents were just trying to get us to book one of their holidays (as they are owned by a tour operator) Before going on holiday Kosmar sent a booklet with lots of useful infomation about visting Greece with the tickets which was very handy. So, finally after all the talking and planning we set off ...

Think Twice Before Booking With Kosmar!! We sent this email to Kosmar holidays in May 2007. It is self explanatory. Dear Sir/ Madam The email I sent to Kosmar tonight is as below. We booked with you in June 2006 to go back to Parga in July 2007 On behalf of my wife, 10yr old daughter Laura and 7yr old daughter Charlotte, could I just say, "THANK YOU FOR RUINING OUR SUMMER HOLIDAY AT PARGA" We went to Parga with Kosmar in 2003, staying at the ...

I looked at all of your other accommodation whilst I was there and hand picked the apartment that we booked, because of the views and the proximity to the restaurants that overlooked Valtos beach, and access to the beach itself. We vowed we would go back to enchanting Parga when our kids were older, and this was to be the moment. Is it too much trouble to ask you for an explanation as to why you only ...

just had holiday with kosmar.went to sidari on the island of corfu.stayed at the joylife hotel which is a three star all inclusive.In my opinion this hotel should be graded as a one star.Got two very nice swiming pools, its just a shame that they never get cleaned,i.e.dirty elastaplasts bits of plastic off lilos and numerous other bits of rubish either floating or on bottem of pool.Going on to food if you like fried hot dog sausages and eggs with ...

We didn`t actually book with Kosmar, we booke d at the last minute with teletext, and just happened to get one of the best holidays ever. We went to Kefalonia, a new destination for us, althogh we had been to Greece before. On arriving at the airport, I was surprised at how quickly everything was sorted, and we were soon on our way to Marina Bay Studios at Mounda Beach. Because the steep, unmade track down to the beach was unsuitable for coaches, ...
...down the hill. The studio apartments, of which we had 2, adjoining, were gorgeous! Nothing too elaborate, but very nicely furnished and kitted out. A kettle would have been nice, but we found out that kettles are the exception rather than the rule, and we did manage OK without. The view from the balcony was out of this world! We were about 100yds from the beach, and what a beach it was, separated only by lawns and a small wall. The beach was lovely, ...
