More Greek islands for Sunvil

Long established Greece specialist Sunvil Holidays has expanded its coverage for 2010.

Seven of the Dodecanese islands - Rhodes, Halki, Symi, Kastellorizo, Lipsi, Leros and Tilos - have been introduced by the operator.

The new destinations bring the number of properties featured to more than 200 across 28 islands and mainland Greece, with a focus on lesser-known areas.

Other new additions include the fishing village of Lakka in Paxos, Stoupa in the Mani area of the South Peloponnese mainland, and a return to Nikiana in Lefkas.

New flights from Bristol to Kefalonia and Skiathos - in addition to Corfu - have also been added.

Programme director Dudley der Parthog said: "Our 2010 Greece programme is our biggest to date and all of our holidays are backed by 40 years’ award-winning specialist experience.

"Sunvil Holidays remains passionate about alternative tourism to Greece, focusing on areas that are still untouched and unknown. Even on the well-known islands, we feature areas away from the mass-market hotspots."

The operator is focussing on multi-centre, fly-drive and tailor-made holidays. Special interest breaks include painting, walking and sailing. Watersports, motorboats and bicycle hire can all be pre-booked.

Early booking offers include two weeks for the price of one and £40 per person savings on off-peak departures booked before February 28.

Discounts for children under the age of 12 are £50 for two weeks on all self-catering holidays, provided the child is sharing accommodation with two full-paying adults.

Prices for the Dodecanese islands start at £572pp based on two sharing for seven nights’ accommodation with breakfast at the three-star Cava D’Oro Hotel in Rhodes old town, including return flights from Gatwick and transfers.

The brochure lead-in price is £454pp, including early booking discount, for seven nights’ self-catering accommodation at the Anthi Apartments in Corfu, including return Gatwick flights and transfers, based on four sharing.
