I don't think this comment is appropriate; there are good greek companies and bad ones. There are good bases of bad companies and bad bases of good companies.. As I said earlier, many international charter companies fall into the trap of opening bases everywhere to reduce their risks. Running a charter base is already extremely challenging task (that's what I am doing.. ), opening several bases in different countries /locations ensuring the same quality of service is impossible.

Sunsail/Mooring is probably one the best in this respect but I am sure there will be couple of basis that are perfroming well below their average and reputation.

And finally, Kiriacoulis has been in the market place for so many years, thus I would have assume they are OK, generally speaking..

Cheers
