A company with love and competence for its business!
Mr. Athanasios Liontos, starting as a bus ticket collector in 1960, at a local bus company begins his business career by purchasing 50% share in a bus, doing interregional routes.
Gradually he develops his activities throughout Greece by purchasing two trucks and two taxis.
Already in 1973, the young entrepreneur forms the company MIDIA TOURS. Having a feeling for the need at that time the company specializes in the transfer of employees to the largest industrial sites of the greater region in the mainland of Greece, with a fleet of twelve owned and eight rented buses. At the same time, he organises tours to all regions of Greece, to the Balkan and to Turkey.
In 1984 the company takes over the issuing of any type of tickets and the exclusive right to issue the train tickets on behalf of the Greek national railway company TRAINOSE (ΤΡΑΙΝΟΣΕ) in the region of Livadia, a branch of business, which still is a major part of the company's activity until today.
In 1987 Konstantinos, the older son of the Founder Athanasios Liontos, joins the team and buys the first double-decker bus in Greece at that time. His activities include among other things the transport of incoming tourists and various tours to the whole of Europe.
In 2000 the first branch office with its gas station for the supply of the company's buses and a private bus repair shop is established in Athens with a parking place for the company buses.
In 2005 Konstantinos Liontos takes over the post of the managing director from his father, who retired.
In 2012 the company expands to the Munich market with the participation of Mr. Liontos Athanasios, grandson of the founder, thus creating the third generation of motorists.
In 2020, the company acquires the Swiss tour operator Franz Dähler, based in Sankt Galen, with an office, buses and parking. The second grandson of the founder, Mr. Konstantinos Liontos, is in charge of the office.
