One Big Greek Adventure

June 24, 2025

At the heart of everything we do is our commitment to supporting the incredible travel businesses that make up our membership. Building strong relationships and offering hands-on support is key to that mission, and nothing beats spending quality time with our members to truly understand their needs. That’s exactly what our Business Development Manager, Catherine Reeves, recently had the opportunity to do on a fantastic Greek Island familiarisation trip with 14 Advantage members, hosted by our wonderful partners at Exodus Adventure Travels.

What a privilege it was to join forces with Exodus and experience one of their fabulous tours around one of the most stunning places in the world! 


As agents, many of us have experienced the fam trip that involves an itinerary so jam packed full of hotel visits that by the end of the week we are left with little more than a whirlwind of blurred memories, and a camera roll full of white washed hotel rooms with kind sized beds and balconies, all rolled into one. 


Not that we don’t appreciate these opportunities but it was super refreshing to take our amazing Advantage agents out on an exclusive Advantage experience where they did just that and experience the destination and the amazing Exodus tour the way it should be experienced; to include time to enjoy all of the beauty of the destinations, and learn the rich history of what we saw. We experienced the trip in the same way the customer would. 


Exodus executed this brilliantly, and our Advantage agents enjoyed their itinerary ‘Greek Island hopping and walking tour’, conducted with the perfect blend of professionalism and good old-fashioned travel agent fun! 


Our local guide Thanos, was authentic and informative, enhancing the learning experience. A real highlight for me was the full day walking tour around the coastline of Santorini. The views were breathtakingly spectacular, the terrain varied, and by the end of the day, we felt like we had achieved something special that we would remember forever. 


How lucky were we? 


But don’t just take it from me, here is what some of our advantage agents had to say: 


Neil James Brownridge, Inspire Travel: 

“Amazing views, amazing food and amazing company” 


Ella Morgan, Beverley Travel: 

“Truly and amazing experience one I will not forget and will forever be grateful to have done it with such a perfect group of people. Thank you, Exodus, and Advantage” 


Joanne Law, Dawson & Sanderson: 

“One big Greek Adventure, best food, places and best people. Unbelievable experience and memories.” 


Benny Mullen, Border Travel: 

“Where strangers become friends on a Greek Islands tour with Exodus Adventure Travel”
