Advantages: Never had a bad holiday yet Disadvantages: Want a holiday NOW!!!!
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. ...

Advantages: Cheap & Cheerful Disadvantages: They Book Up Quick!!!
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 ...

Advantages: Easy to navigate website, Great Customer Service in resort Disadvantages: They only go to Greece
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.
***Our ...

Advantages: Cheap Disadvantages: late night/early morning flights
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 ...

Advantages: cheap holidays Disadvantages: dont pay bills
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 ...

Advantages: Were always first choice for Greekophiles Disadvantages: Being Taken Over by XL ????
KOSMAR were the Best but are they still ??????
In the past we have gone with Kosmar as our first choice for our Holidays in Greece.
Our love affair with Kosmar began in May 1997 when we booked our First Holiday to Greece on the beautiful Island of Kefilonia.
We had been put onto KOSMAR by a friend at work who had used them. In those days this was mainly the way people found out about KOSMAR, by recommendation by word of mouth.
In fact if you ...

Advantages: Very knowlegable reps. Disadvantages: Didnt fly from Leeds
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 ...

Advantages: Trying something new Disadvantages: Told not to go with Kosmar
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 ...

Advantages: Maybe A Bit Cheaper Disadvantages: Will You Get Your Holiday?
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 ...

Advantages: Very helpful rep Disadvantages: Had to go home!
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, ...
