GIC The Villa Collection is offering luxury yachts and hotel villas for the first time for 2017.
The luxury yachts offer accommodation to up to 10 people in air-conditioned ensuite cabins while a professional skipper and private chef take care of the work. Prices lead in at £560pp for a three-night long weekend or £1,120pp for a week.
The operator, which is owned by Sunvil, is also offering four hotel villa resorts which feature private villas and pools but allow guests to access restaurants, bars and spas. Aphrodite Hills Resort and the Elounda Beach Hotel & Villas are just two of the featured resorts.
The operator is also continuing to offer multi-centre trips while new villas have been added to its premier properties collection
The news comes as Sunvil also launches its own main 2017 Greece and Cyprus programme complete with new islands in the Saronic and Cyclades archipelagos, new itineraries that highlight Greece’s second city, Thessaloniki, and Greek Macedonia.
There is also an expanded range of itineraries in Cyprus, focusing in particular on Paphos and its region, in celebration of its 2017 status as a Cultural Capital of Europe.
Sunvil programme director Dudley der Parthog said: “Every year we take time to research and find lesser-known, characterful spots and new way to visit favourite destinations; you might think that, after 47 years, this would be increasingly hard to do, but Greece remains full of promise and potential.
“Our additions this year mean that dedicated sun worshippers can lie on stunning beaches they’ve never heard of before, that culture-seekers can explore cities like Thessaloniki with talented guides and return to great boutique properties, that walkers who seek to get off the beaten track can do so with expert support and that parents can introduce their children to the charm and simplicity of a family holiday in Greece.
“All our guests can enjoy not just the warmest of welcomes from our team out in resort, but also the reassurance of our Abta and Atol protection should the unforeseen happen.”
