Sunvil Holidays is to offer Turkey for the first time this year within its expanded real Greece 2014 brochure. The programme features two
areas on Turkey’s Aegean coast, Kusadasi and Akyaka. The former is a good base to see cultural and archaeological sites, while the latter is better known for its walking and kite-surfing opportunities. Both are
expected to
be sold primarily as twin-centre holidays with Greece. Kusadasi can be combined with Samos, with prices starting at £887 including seven nights’ bed and breakfast at the Bakkhos Hotel and seven nights’ self-catering at the Anastasia Apartments in Samos, based on two sharing, with return flights and transfers. Akyaka can be twinned with the
Dodecanese islands of Rhodes, Tilos, Symi, Halki or Karpathos. More than 40 properties have been added for 2014 as well as new regions. The car-free island of Spetses, in
the Saronic Gulf, is new. Transport on the island ranges from horse- drawn carriages to bikes, water taxis and mopeds. New properties include beachfront apartments on Lemnos, Skopelos and Pelion, and two boutique hotels in Crete.
Early-booking offers include up to £125 off accommodation per week on off-peak stays
booked by February 28. Other new
programmes include a new-look Cyprus brochure; GIC The Villa Collection, with eight new properties (pictured); and Sunvil Discovery Italy and Sicily programme with a new mini cruise from Padua to Venice.
