Sunvil says customers unaffected by Greek strikes

Wednesday, 09 Jul, 2010 0

Greece operator Sunvil says today’s Greek strikes are nothing new and that the impact on its customers is small.

The operator’s operations director Chris Wright said that outside of the main cities “life goes on as normal” and that holidaymakers are unaffected by many of the ramifications of the strikes, such as refuse collection or banks being shut.

He said: “At Sunvil we have been dealing with strikes in Greece for as long as I can remember. Yes, there are a few more this year but the impact on our customers is very small.”

He added: “The ferry strikes can of course cause problems especially for independent travellers but, as a tour operator, we are able to rearrange itineraries giving customers a night extra in one island before leaving on the first available boat when the strike is lifted. 

“Most of our transfers are operated by privately chartered boats specifically for our passengers and these aren’t affected by the strike.  On certain islands there are also private sea taxis still operating.”
 
Wright reports “little disruption” with Sunvil customer flights. Today, two flew from the UK to Samos, one delayed by an hour and one by two and a half hours.
