Part of Dove Travel & Cruises International, the Nashville travel agency serving Tennessee since 1994.
Athens is the McMinn County seat halfway between Chattanooga and Knoxville on I-75, home to Tennessee Wesleyan University, the Mayfield Dairy plant and tours, and the courthouse square where the Battle of Athens was fought in 1946 over a rigged election. It calls itself the Friendly City.
For travel, Chattanooga Airport is the natural departure point, about 55 miles away. Drive-to cruises leave from Mobile about 7 hours and New Orleans about 9 hours away.
A travel agent in Athens does not need a desk on the square. Dove Travel & Cruises International plans for McMinn County travelers by phone and email from Nashville, compares cruise lines and resorts, holds cabins and rooms, books the flight from Chattanooga or Knoxville and sends every document electronically.
You deal with one agent from the first call to the trip home, with a direct line. If a flight is cancelled or a hurricane changes an itinerary, your Athens travel agent is the person who sorts it out while you are still at the gate.
The agency was founded in Nashville in 1994, is accredited by ASTA, CLIA, IATA and ARC, and carries a BBB A+ rating. Athens travelers get the same agents who serve Nashville.
As a travel agency serving Athens, we plan Caribbean cruises, all-inclusive weeks in Mexico and Jamaica, Disney and escorted tours. Chattanooga Airport is about 55 miles south and McGhee Tyson about 60 miles north, so we price both, and Atlanta for nonstops. A drive-to cruise from Mobile is about seven hours.
For reunions, church trips and clubs we hold group space early and track every household's payment. The price is the same as booking direct, because the cruise line, resort or tour operator pays the agency; there is no planning fee.
Nothing is booked for Athens travelers until the itemized quote, deposit and final payment date are confirmed in writing.
Tell us the dates, the budget and who is going. Within a business day your Athens travel agent sends a short list with real prices and both airports compared.
Once you pick, we take the deposit and arrange the details: cabins, transfers, excursions, dining, passport checks and insurance. Everything is delivered electronically, so Athens travelers never need to drive to a desk.
During the trip the same agent answers the phone. For Athens travelers that is the real difference between an agent and a website.
