Travel Agents have had it hard every since the Airlines realized they could communicate directly with the consumer and sell airline tickets online.

Once the online travel site business pattern proved successful, the airlines cut travel agent’s commission to an average of $10.00 per ticket. The Travel Agent has been left to fen for themselves after providing excellent service for the airlines for decades. Those agencies servicing Corporate accounts have done much better then the small personal travel agencies that provided services to the neighborhood and surrounding businesses.

Travel Agents must become familiar with online marketing solutions.

The first task would be to develop an SEO web site. (keyword: seo) It does not have to be fancy. It has to be functional and have good content.

Since the beginning of summer, when I came to the island, I have spent Sunday evenings exploring the Old Town, the Medieval City of Rhodes. It is my ritual for decompressing and enjoying quiet time. I know what you are thinking. Quiet time in the Old Town? An oxymoron if there ever was one! Yet I am talking about Old Town the neighborhood, not the evening hotspot.

There is another world, a neighborhood where people live peacefully, surrounded by history in Knights’ houses and centuries-old narrow streets, elements that have graciously survived for hundreds of years. The current shape and size of the Medieval City date back to the mid-15th century. The City itself has gone through numerous distinct periods, with a mélange of styles, nations and ethnicities, and as many masters: Byzantines, Knights, Ottomans and Italians, among others. Even though “ethnic” neighborhoods existed, the lines between ethnic and class formations were blurred. Take, for example, the old Jewish neighborhood, spread across the East side of town. Within the Jewish neighborhood alone, Jews, Greeks and Franks coexisted, along with at least five Christian churches.

At the end of the romantic getaway, the two of you should be even closer than before you left and perhaps ready to start planning your next trip. When you want to get in touch with your partner without interruptions from work or the kids; plan a romantic getaway where the only person who can contact you is the person tending to the kids. You can spend a day relaxing away from home with your better half and refer to it as a romantic getaway; always remember you can turn any given day into a romantic one.

For those of us who have a difficult time preparing in advance for just about anything that we do (present self included), parking overnight at the airport for a flight can not only be the most expensive part of the trip, but also the most stressful. First, you need to find a car park that offers overnight parking for your needed timeframe. Then, you have to hope they have an open space for you. Finally, it could actually cost less to fly around the world than to pay the fees of such car parks. Does it really need to be this way?

No, it doesn’t. You just need to change your procrastinating ways, learn to think ahead, and realize that careful advance planning usually yields the cheapest rate- especially when it comes to the biggest discounts on airport parking.

Dress code in the Greek Islands is very casual, for men shorts and T-shirts is the norm, and for ladies, light summer dresses or similar to men. If you are coming in Spring or Autumn you should bring some warmer clothes just in case it gets a bit cold in the night.
