How can I book accommodation in Greece through the Nikana.gr platform?

To book accommodation in Greece through the Nikana.gr platform, you need to send a Booking Request for the accommodation you have selected. Here's how it works step by step:

1. Choose accommodation on our website,
2. Enter the dates and the number of people,
3. Select the offered accommodation unit, and
4. Click the "Book" button.

The first way is to select the accommodation you like from our offer, choose the dates that interest you, and fill out the booking form directly on the website. We will contact you as soon as possible to confirm the availability of the accommodation for your requested dates and send you further instructions.

The second way is to send an email to nikana@nikana.gr, explaining the type of accommodation you are looking for and whether you have any specific requirements for Greece (beachfront apartments, family-friendly vacations, etc.). We will then help you narrow down the options, send recommendations for accommodations that meet your criteria and offer the best value for money. Our agents are available to assist you, so don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have.

Is it possible to book accommodation over the phone?

Booking accommodation over the phone is not available for security reasons. All agreements need to be documented in writing to ensure safety and clarity in case of unforeseen circumstances. A written agreement is in your best interest, as it provides security and a written record of all agreed-upon booking details.

Is it possible to book accommodation through social media?

Unfortunately, no. Bookings are arranged exclusively via email for clarity and security reasons. Our agents are available seven days a week, and we are known for responding to emails quickly!

How can I check if the accommodation is available for the dates I am interested in?

To check the availability of accommodation on nikana.gr, select the accommodation on the website, enter the dates and the number of people. The system will show you if the accommodation is available. During the peak season, when availability changes quickly, it is recommended to fill out a Booking Request so that our team can verify and confirm the availability of the accommodation.

How long does the booking process take, and how long does it take to receive confirmation that the accommodation is available?

The booking process through the Nikana.gr platform is quick and efficient. Once we receive your inquiry, either through the website or email, our staff immediately contacts the accommodation owner to confirm availability for the desired dates. We usually respond to your inquiry promptly. In rare cases, if we are unable to reach the owner immediately, you can expect a response within a few hours, and no later than 24 hours.

When and how is the accommodation paid for, including the deposit?

• Deposit Payment

  After selecting your desired accommodation, the first step is paying the deposit. The deposit usually amounts to 20% to 30% of the total price of the accommodation. This deposit is paid directly to the accommodation owner, and we will send you detailed instructions and tips for making the payment easily and quickly.

• Payment Methods

  You can pay the deposit in several ways – via a foreign currency bank account, through online apps like Wise, Paysend, and similar services, via Western Union at any post office, or, for some accommodations, via PayPal. This gives you the flexibility to make the payment from a post office, bank, or online, in either dinars or euros.

• Remaining Balance Payment

  The remaining balance for the accommodation is paid directly to the owner upon your arrival at the accommodation.

It is important to note that the deposit payment policy mentioned applies to most accommodations in our offer, but there are some accommodations with policies that differ from the above. Information about the policy for each individual accommodation can be found on our website in the Prices and Reservations section.

Until when must the deposit be paid?

The deadline for paying the deposit is 2 business days from the date of booking.

Is it possible to book accommodation in Greece without paying a deposit?

Booking accommodation in Greece without paying a deposit is not possible. The deposit plays a key role in the booking process for several reasons.

• Security for the owner

  By paying the deposit, you as a guest confirm your commitment and intention to use the reserved accommodation. This provides the owner with assurance that the accommodation will not remain unused, especially during the tourist season when demand is high.

• Security for the guest

  On the other hand, the deposit also protects you as a guest. Once the accommodation owner receives your deposit, they are obligated to hold your reserved spot. This means you can be confident that the promised accommodation will be available when you arrive.

Does booking through this website cost anything?

Booking accommodation through our website is free for you.

• Free service for users

  Booking accommodation through our website does not involve any additional costs for you as a user. This means you do not pay any commission or additional fees to the website for booking.

• Prices directly from the owners

  The accommodation prices displayed on the website are the official prices set by the property owners. These prices are identical to those you would get if you contacted the owner directly.

• Price updates by owners

  The property owners are responsible for updating their prices on the website. We have agreements with the owners to sell accommodation at official prices.

• Website financing

  Although the service is free for users, the website generates income from the accommodation owners. Owners pay the agency to have their accommodation included in the offer. This model allows the website to operate without charging users for its services.

• No hidden costs

  The price you see on the website is the price you ultimately pay.

This model allows users to find and book accommodation without additional costs, while the website generates revenue from property owners, which is a common practice in online tourism business.

Until when can I cancel my booking, and will the deposit be refunded in that case?

The cancellation policy varies from one accommodation to another, but most owners fully refund the deposit if you cancel at least 3 weeks before the start of your vacation. If you cancel less than 3 weeks in advance, the deposit is non-refundable.

On our website, you can read the specific cancellation policy for each accommodation for added security, as the policy for some accommodations may differ from the mentioned rule.
