Greece & Cyprus Introduction Welcome to Sunvil My team and I are delighted to welcome you to the Sunvil family and to our specialist Greece and Cyprus holiday programme. Inside this brochure you will find holidays designed by passionate travellers just like you; experiential holidays in authentic and uncommercialised destinations that will allow you to discover the real country. Think culture, gastronomy and unmissable sights and experiences, including encounters with people and places, that will form unforgettable memories. This is a Sunvil holiday - your Sunvil holiday. When I joined John der Parthog in 1970 we founded Sunvil based on trust, knowledge, passion and personal relationships, not only with our customers but with those who live and work in our destinations. This philosophy has not changed in over 46 years and is what we believe sets us apart today. Each year our specialist teams travel extensively within our destinations to uncover hidden gems and to hand-pick our holiday accommodation. Like a person a country develops and grows, and with every trip we discover new attractions, breathtaking viewpoints and little-known places often not found even in guidebooks. Our holidays are trips that we would enjoy and choose for ourselves and our friends and family. I guarantee that our specialist teams will be there for you from start to finish and that you will return enriched from your time abroad. You can of course contact me or any of the team directly should you have any questions or issues you would like to raise.

Greece & Cyprus Introduction Welcome to the real Greece & Cyprus In over 45 years of arranging holidays to Greece and Cyprus we have not seen the fundamentals change. Both destinations are blessed with a warm sun, a sparkling sea, unspoiled nature and scenery, a refreshingly 'back to basics' island lifestyle, mythology and history wherever you look, food and wine at last acclaimed for its excellence, and - above all - a people famed for their warmth and generosity towards their foreign visitors. Yes, much of the accommodation is still quite simple, the mattresses sometimes harder than we like and the plumbing seemingly unchanged since the days of ancient Greece. But these are trifling considerations when compared to the larger picture - that unique combination of factors, many intangible, that make Greece and Cyprus so special, and draw so many people back year upon year. We do not believe any rival holiday destination has a more fiercely loyal customer base. We have had plenty of time to seek out our favourite spots - many off the beaten track and little known even to the locals. Let us use our expertise to steer you to the places we love, and that we are sure you will too. A week or two in either country is still the perfect antidote to our busy modern lives, and we are certain that you will come back refreshed and with an enhanced zest for life. 4 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece & Cyprus Introduction Something for everyone Whatever you want from your holiday, we are sure that we can accommodate you. From a simple cottage on a remote Greek island to a 5 star resort hotel; from a Cypriot village inn to a modern villa with a private pool; from a mainland fly drive to a classic island hopping trip; for singles, couples and families alike, for history buffs, nature lovers, artists and walkers somewhere within our programme is your perfect holiday. Personal service from start to finish From the moment you contact us to the moment you return from your holiday, our specialist team is on hand for advice and assistance. Not only in the UK we have some 30 local representatives throughout Greece and Cyprus, many of whom have lived there for years (and some of whom have been looking after Sunvil guests for over 20 years). They are a mine of local information and really will help you get the most out of your holiday. 45 years expertise at your service You may know what you want but not where to find it! We can help. Just call one of our team with your requirements and let us do the work. Claire, Dudley, Ellia, Graeme, Jackie, Justin, Karolina, Mark, Neil, Stella and Tony will be delighted to help, and all of us have an intimate first hand knowledge of various areas. Customer satisfaction Value for money Happy customers who want to return again and again with Sunvil are our aim. Since 2011 our post-holiday questionnaires give an average score of 97% of customers rating their overall holiday experience as good or (the majority) excellent. We were delighted to scoop the top slot in the annual Sunday Times Travel Magazine Value for Money Awards for Best Tour Operator in 2015. The panel said: 'An oldie but a goodie, Sunvil is the clear favourite for its Grecian expertise, getting you to many of the obscure Greek Islands and, more importantly, working out the fiddly bits about getting there. Despite its reputation for the more practical, affordable packages, our panel think its magic touch is having the absolute best hotels and reps on the ground and a real eye for up-and-coming parts of Greece'.

Greece Introduction Lemnos Fly direct to this large traditional island, which has few tourists, excellent sandy beaches and an attractive small port. Pages 15-19 Samos Samos is a refreshing combination of pine and olive, mountain and beach. It has an especial appeal for walkers. Pages 20-31 Ikaria Ikaria is remote and little-known, and the island's wild beauty a perfect escape from the pressures of modern-day life. Pages 32-34 Thassos Green mountainous Thassos is fringed with fabulous sandy beaches and has a fascinating history. And all just a 45 minute sea crossing from the mainland. Pages 35-40 Paxos Olive-clad Paxos may be small but it is perfectly formed! Be prepared to fall under the spell of a truly enchanting isle. Pages 41-49 Corfu Our selected areas avoid the honeypots and give you the chance to discover why Corfu has held visitors in thrall for generations. Pages 50-60 Lefkas & Meganissi Popular Lefkas combines an island atmosphere with easy access to the mainland. Meganissi offers a peaceful retreat away from the crowds. Pages 61-72 Kefalonia and Ithaca The large island of Kefalonia certainly rewards exploration. Was littlevisited Ithaca really the home of Odysseus? Judge for yourself Pages 73-89 Zakynthos A gentle island of wooded hills and rural valleys. For lovers of unspoiled countryside as well as sea. Pages 90-93 Sivota & Parga Parga is known for its history and beauty, and popular with Greek and foreigner alike. Sivota has a real village atmosphere. Pages 94-105 Halkidiki Halkidiki in the north is famed for its pine forests and white-sand beaches. Avoid the crowds by heading east to Olymbiada, an authentic fishing village. Pages 106-110 Ammouliani Halkidiki s only island is the ultimate small and friendly destination and fringed with Caribbean-like white sand beaches. Pages 111-113 South Peloponnese The scenic south Peloponnese has mountains, traditional villages and miles of beaches, and is perfect for a quiet, relaxed holiday. Pages 116-134 North Peloponnese At the heart of historic Argolis, familyfriendly Tolon has a safe sandy beach, free bikes and canoes, friendly tavernas and easy access to atmospheric Nafplion. Pages 135-141 Pelion Remote Pelion is famed for its nature and beauty. Here mountain, sea and forest hide preserved villages and stunning beaches. Pages 142-149 The Sporades Lively Skiathos has nearly 50 sandy beaches; Skopelos is larger, forested and boasts a handsome port; Alonissos is a quiet retreat. Pages 150-163 Crete The largest island of them all, with a rugged, mountainous landscape and a fascinating past. Pages 164-180 The Cyclades Whitewashed houses, brightly painted fishing boats, laden donkeys the Cyclades are the Greek Islands as you ve always imagined them to be. Pages 181-208 The Dodecanese 14 contrasting islands scattered up the Aegean Turkish coast. Our favourite is Tilos, an eco-friendly paradise for walkers and nature lovers. Pages 209-228 The Saronic Islands Easy to reach from Athens, upmarket Hydra and elegant Spetses are the best known - but do not overlook tiny Agistri. Pages 229-231 Hidden Greece Our mainland fly drives are as flexible as you wish to make them and feature areas rarely found in a holiday brochure. Pages 232-237 Athens & Thessaloniki Greece s two major cities - with sites and museums that should be seen at least once. Pages 238-239 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk Greece & Cyprus 7

Greece Flexible Greece Flexible Greece Our holidays can offer great flexibility. Here are just a few of the possibilities. 8 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece Flexible Greece Multi Centre Holidays Many islands and resorts in this brochure can be combined and some of the most popular pairings are shown on the Resort Information panel at the start of each section. All transfers are included unless otherwise stated and it is usually, but not always, the case that you need to spend a week in each centre. Please contact us for a costing as our additional admin. and transfer costs vary considerably from area to area. Unless you have been to the resorts or islands before we strongly recommend you book the quieter resort or island as your second centre (please ask us if in doubt). For other combinations and for holidays of a longer duration or of more than two centres please call us. Depending on the area, mid-holiday transfers may be effected via the Airport which will inevitably mean a wait of a couple of hours. If you would like to avoid this please check with us. Private taxi transfers can be arranged in some areas supplement on request. An alternative option may be self transferring by hire car. For Island Hopping see next page. Two Countries, One Holiday Why not combine a holiday in Greece with a visit to one of her close neighbours? It is simple to do - we make all the arrangements - and makes for a fascinating and contrasting holiday experience. Greece and Turkey We have selected two resorts on the Turkish Aegean coast which can be combined with some of our featured islands. Kusadasi is a vibrant commercial port and tourist centre. The world famous site of Ephesus is the main draw here but there are lots of other wonderful historical sites within striking distance, either by car or by guided tour (private if you wish). Combine Kusadasi with Samos (also Ikaria or Patmos via Samos) which is only 90 mins. away by regular ferry - we'd recommend staying Kusadasi first. It is also possible to visit Ephesus on a day trip from Samos. Akyaka is very different - a small village with a lot of Turkish character and beautiful natural surroundings. Akyaka has a good sandy beach and a growing 'foodie' reputation for its many excellent restaurants. It is popular with the Turks themselves which perhaps explains the high standard of the restaurants! Combine Akyaka with Rhodes or many of the Dodecanese islands e.g. Tinos, Symi, Halki, Karpathos, Kalymnos. The ferry takes only 90 minutes to Marmaris and onward transfer time is 1 hour. See page 242 for further details and Turkish visa requirements. Greece and Albania It is now possible to transfer directly into Albania from the airport of Prevesa in western Greece and our resorts served from there. We offer a private 6-day cultural tour of the south, as well as selected hotels in the busy port of Saranda, gateway to south Albania. However the town is an excellent centre and there is much to see within a short drive, including two UNESCO World Heritage sites. We can arrange privately guided day trips at reasonable prices. Albania can combine with Lefkas, Meganissi, Parga or Sivota and transfer time is 2-3 hours by taxi. We'd recommend visiting Albania first and Greece second. It is not necessary to twin centre with Greece. See page 240 for more details. Extended Stays Most holidays can be extended over and above the normal fortnight at a reasonable cost. Please call us for a quote. Tailor Made Holidays If you wish to design your own holiday perhaps you would like a duration of other than a set week or two, prefer Heathrow over Gatwick, or simply want to mix areas/islands not normally possible from our regular flights we can help. Once you have an idea of what you would like to do our tailor-made department is happy to advise and quote. There are of course some restrictions some accommodation may have set change-over dates or a minimum stay but within these you can do pretty much as you please. One call to us will save you considerable time and effort, give you invaluable advice and provide you with the security of ATOL bonding and back-up on the ground from our team of experienced local agents and our own representatives. 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk Greece & Cyprus 9

Greece Greek Island Hopping Greek Island Hopping The classic Greek holiday! But if you are no longer feeling up to making your own way, battling with the vagaries of Greek ferry timetables and booking accommodation which may or may not be as advertised, then let us take the strain. We will organise the whole thing - including all transfers and ferries leaving you to simply enjoy your trip with no worries. Our team of local agents and reps on the ground are there if needed, and we will rebook ferries and accommodation automatically at no additional cost in the event of ferry schedule changes, delays or cancellations. So let Sunvil take the island hoping out of island hopping and have a holiday to remember for all the right reasons. Island hopping is best done by the island groupings on these pages and some of the myriad combinations are listed here. They are just a starting point - please feel free to design your own itinerary but do bear in mind that mixing one group with another is not always simple or even easily possible as there may be limited ferry connections between them (or none at all). Guide prices are per person and based on 2 persons staying in comfortable 2-3 star hotels on BB higher category hotels may be available on some islands at a supplement. They are based on flight prices available in November 2016 these will increase according to demand so we recommend early booking (see booking note at foot of page). Please see the relevant resort pages for island and hotel descriptions. 10 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

There is not space here to go into detail - however we would like to highlight a special itinerary we created for the Olympic Games in 2016. The ancient Olympic Games date from 776BC but Olympia was only one of four linked venues which together are known as the Panhellenic Games. This itinerary gives you the chance to visit all four sites - Olympia, Delphi (the Delphian Games), Nemea (the Nemean Games) and Corinth (the Isthmian Games), plus a day in Athens to visit the museum where many of the artefacts from these sites are now housed. Itinerary (7 nights) - Athens (2), Delphi (1), Olympia (1), Nafplion (3). The price is from 989 per person (based on 2 sharing) and includes flights, transfer on arrival, hire car and BB hotels. Please contact us or see our website for details. Booking, pricing, flights and ferries The first step is to contact us to discuss your proposed itinerary and obtain a price quote. This cannot be done instantly but we endeavour to revert within 24 hours (may take a little longer if we need to request hotel rates for any reason). Should you accept the price we will then request the hotels. Please note that the hotels on these islands are small and so it can take a few days for confirmation, especially during the winter when they are closed. We do not book the flights until the finalised itinerary is in place in case dates or prices change. Once the hotels are booked we will reconfirm the final price and ask for a deposit before booking the flights - this deposit will include payment for the flights which are non-refundable, so do ensure you have adequate travel insurance in place in case of cancellation. Please note that the price guide is just that - a guide - because we base these holidays on 'bought in' flights, usually on low cost airlines, which can vary considerably in price from one day to the next. In order for us source the best value flights for you it is advisable to give us as flexible a date range as you can at the time of enquiry (first day you can travel out and last day back). By the same token, these price indications were based on flight prices in November 2016 and will increase as time goes by. We will give you a current price quote at the time of enquiry. Ferry timetables are not always published early so we may base them on the previous year. Even when published they are subject to change and we will amend itineraries accordingly at no additional cost should this become necessary. 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk Greece & Cyprus 11

Greece Active Greece Active Greece There is much more to a holiday in Greece than sun, sand and sea. Below we highlight just a few of the activities you can enjoy and where to find them. Walking Greece is famed for its wonderful walking opportunities, especially in early and late season. Crete - May, Oct from 1250 pp We offer walking holidays in a very unspoiled region of western Crete. The price is based on 2 sharing (single supplement applies) and includes flights, transfers, BB accommodation and materials. Please see page 179 for details. Kythnos - all season (April to October) from 895 per person Discover this most traditional and unspoiled small Cycladic island on foot. We call this Walking Plus, as most dinners are included in a local taverna, as well as the opportunity to partake in any village festivals that may be taking place. See page 196 for details. South Peloponnese - May & October 470 per person (supplementary to regular holiday price) These walking weeks take place in Chrani in the heart of the Messinian region towards the foot of the Peloponnese. The price is in addition to the regular package holiday price, which is from 700 per person staying at the Ilaira Apartments ( 650 pp if you book by 31/1). See page 123 for details. Painting Holidays Greece is known for its wonderful conditions for artists, from the quality of her light to the wide variety of subject matter, and such vibrant colours! So we are pleased to offer painting weeks in Western Crete. The holidays are suitable for painters of all abilities, especially novices who will receive excellent oneon-one guidance and tuition. Our artist leader will guide you to the best painting spots. Crete - Jun, Sep from 1250 pp We offer painting holidays in a very unspoiled region of western Crete. The price is based on 2 sharing (single supplement applies) and includes flights, transfers, BB accommodation and materials. Please see page 179 for details. Combined Walking & Painting Holidays Crete - May, Jun, Sep, Oct from 1250 pp We also offer combined walking and painting weeks. These would suit those who prefer shorter walks or painting sessions or perhaps couples with different interests. See page 179 for details. Locally guided walks Guided walks available locally in Ithaca, southern Pelion, Skopelos and Olymbiada (Halkidiki). Soft walking from your resort base Our local representatives have been collecting walking information for many years, and have routes and directions to hand for our guests who want to walk from their resort base. Walking information Our holidays to Amorgos and Kythnos include a walking guidebook and we can send a free walking leaflet on request to clients staying in Western Pelion, Mani (Stoupa and Kardamili), Parga and Olymbiada (Halkidiki). In addition to all the above areas mentioned good independent walking opportunities are available almost everywhere, as mentioned in our resort descriptions. 12 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece Active Greece On and in the sea Water sports, sailing dinghies and sea kayaks In Tolon all our guests are offered use of kayaks, windsurfing or dinghy sailing - and water ski (with or without tuition) can be prebooked. Often a great option for families (water sports are generally fine from 7 years and up), especially in Tolon. Sea kayaking expeditions are available in Skopelos (Elios) and Ithaca, which also has snorkelling trips. Scuba diving Available last summer in Agistri, Alonissos (Patitiri), Crete (Chania, Paleochora, Panormos), Corfu (Aharavi), Kefalonia (Fiscardo and Ag Efimia), Ithaca, Lefkas (Nidri, Nikiana), Lemnos, Naxos (Ayia Anna), Parga, Paxos, Pelion (Afissos), Peloponnese (Pylos/Gialova, Finikounda, Kardamili, Tolon), Samos (Kerveli, Pythagorion), Sivota, Skiathos and Zakynthos. This is not a complete list so please enquire for other areas. Motor boat hire Can be pre-booked in many areas - see page 269 - and no prior experience is required. In Tolon all our guests are entitled to 2 hours free per party (or 5 hours water sports) - see resort pages. Could be more practical (and definitely more fun!) than hiring a car. Motor boats are available for local hire in many other areas - please enquire. Sailing The yachting capital of Greece is Nidri on Lefkas and Activity Holidays Greece offer a range of sailing options from here, including learn to sail, skippered charter, flotilla and bareboat. As we do not have the required sailing expertise we do not book sailing elements, preferring you to speak directly to and book your sailing with Activity Holidays. However for those who would like a week ashore and a week afloat we are happy to book all non-sailing arrangements - e.g. 1 week's accommodation with 2 week flights and transfers - and leave the sailing part for you to book with Activity. We will then coordinate with Activity regarding transfers etc. Please see www.activityholidaysgreece.com for sailing details. Active kids? Greece is great for families - warm safe waters, children welcomed in restaurants, and even a lot of old stones to clamber over thus ticking the guilt-relieving 'educational' box! However the choice of islands and resorts can be bewildering. We'd urge you to look at our resort of Tolon in the north Peloponnese. With free water sports (dinghy sailing and windsurfing) for ages 7 and up - or motorboat hire for those with littler ones - free sea kayaks, free bicycles, a very safe sandy Blue Flag beach with shallow seas, and waterfront tavernas where you can sit with a drink and watch the kids splashing around in the shallows just below - what could be more perfect! And have we mentioned the wealth of history in the area? Tolon is without doubt the best placed resort in Greece for a little historical exploring. Plus boat trips to Spetses and Hydra, an hourly bus to atmospheric Nafplion and its castles, pedalo to the island in the bay...we could go on. See page 135. Greek cooking & dancing 1 week holidays where you learn Greek cooking or dancing are available in the South Peleponnese - see page 123. Individual cooking lessons are available on Lemnos (Varos Village Hotel), Samos (Kerveli Village Hotel, Olymbiada (Halkidiki) and Western Crete (Almirida Beach Hotel). Bicycles Offered free of charge to guests staying in Tolon and at our hotels in Olymbiada. Bikes may be rented locally in many other areas, including Lefkas, Lemnos, Parga, Zakynthos and the south Peloponnese (Stoupa, Kardamili, Chrani and Gialova). 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk Greece & Cyprus 13

Greece Sailing Kinsterna Hotel & Spa, Monemvasia, Peloponnese Kyrimai Hotel, Gerolimenas, Peloponnese Aigialos Traditional Settlement, Fira, Santorini Boutique Greece One of the attractions of a holiday in Greece has traditionally been the simple lifestyle an 'away from it all' back to basics holiday which is reflected in comfortable albeit 'no frills' accommodation. However, the past few years has seen a growth in smaller, deluxe properties which are at least the match of those found for many years in rural Italy, Portugal and Spain. This new breed of small upmarket hotels can be found in some unexpected places - often in locations of outstanding natural beauty away from the crowds. So we are delighted to join forces with the Yades group of hotels - a consortium of rather special properties which, although each is very different, have much in common. All are privately owned and aim to combine a distinctly Greek heritage with an intimate atmosphere, five star rooms and a high level of personal service. Many have noted restaurants, which offer contemporary Greek cuisine and the finest Greek wines. Yades hotels are linked with Historic Hotels of Europe and 'Heritage and Hospitality' is the Yades motto. The Yades Hotels you can find featured within our programme are Kyrimai in deepest Mani (Peloponnese); Skites in Halkidiki (see website); Avli Lounge and Kapsaliana Village (see website) in or near the historic town of Rethymnon, Crete; Aigialos and Esperas on Santorini; and Cotommatae in Hydra (see website). Of course not all of Greece's best boutique hotels are necessarily members of Yades. Kinsterna Hotel and Spa near beautiful Monemvasia in the remote south west Peloponnese is equally fabulous and highly recommended. Other hotels in our programme which we would consider 'boutique' in many respects are the San Nicolas on Lefkas, the White Suites in Halkidiki (see website), Niriedes Suites on Sifnos, Anemomilos on Folegandros (see website), and Elies in the southern Peloponnese. Please note it is not necessary to commit to a full 7 or 14 night stay. All are happy to offer short stays, so for that special occasion we can easily tailor-make a few nights, perhaps with a car, within a holiday elsewhere in the region and without breaking the bank, or incorporate them within a fly-drive on the mainland or Crete. Or you could split a one week stay between Kyrimai and Kinsterna. Avli Lounge, Rethymnon Old Town, Crete Anemomilos, Chora, Folegandros, Western Cyclades One word of advice for short stays - if you can it is better to avoid Friday and Saturday nights as these properties are not large and are often busy at weekends with the Greek market. 14 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece North Aegean Islands Lemnos Lemnos It does exist! An unspoiled island with a very Greek flavour, relatively few tourists, excellent sandy beaches, a characterful port, and a direct flight Lemnos lies halfway between the shores of Asia Minor and the slopes of Mount Athos. Indeed you can see Athos on a clear day, and they say that the holy mountain casts its shadow on Lemnos twice a year. Myrina Plati The island resembles a huge butterfly, its many bays giving a coastline of some 260 kms. It is the eighth largest Greek island, which means plenty of scope for exploration. Beaches are superb, even within Myrina, being sandy and safe, and there are many to choose from, including lovely Plati just outside which has a coveted Blue Flag. The interior is rural and gently hilly. Lemnos is a very traditional Greek island, where priorities remain agriculture and fishing rather than tourism. That said, excursions do run (notably boat trips and a roundisland coach trip); bicycles, cars and small boats can be rented; horse riding is available at Plati; and there is a range of water sports, including a PADI dive school. Myrina, the capital, bisected by a dominant Venetian Castro, really is most a most attractive little town. The harbour is archetypal with an array of cafés and restaurants, and plenty of small shops in the narrow lanes behind. Elegantly crumbling neoclassical buildings and good sandy beaches lie to either side, the most popular of which is Riha Nera - busy in season it offers plenty of sun beds (free of charge if you buy a coffee, drink or snack), a traditional taverna restaurant and a handful of Agios Ioannis Kaspakas Thanos 470m Kondias Kotsinas Varos Moudros Ancient Poliochni Ancient Kavirio Ancient Ifestia beach bars serving food (music here). Romeikos in the next bay has no facilities but is lesser populated. At Poliochni the remnants of four cities have been found the most ancient predates Troy and is a site of world significance, being possibly the oldest known town settlement in Europe. More recently, Lemnos has witnessed the familiar Mediterranean roll-call, Romans, Venetians, Genoese and Turks all having left their mark. Legend has it that Aphrodite, having been upset by the local women, gave them all such halitosis that their husbands imported new wives from Thrace! The Lemniot ladies promptly drugged them all and threw their bodies over the cliffs. As one local guide book put it, After this event a society of Amazons was created, till the Argonauts reached the island The island was successfully repopulated. They do say these old tales often have a factual basis. Could that old man sitting in the coffee shop be a direct descendant of Jason himself? LEMNOS INFORMATION Getting to Lemnos Thursday Day flight Gatwick to Lemnos (note: outbound flight via Samos). Then 40 mins by coach or taxi.

Greece North Aegean Islands Lemnos Lemnos Hotel Myrina The Lemnos is a traditional Greek harbour hotel and offers a friendly, comfortable base from which to enjoy the island atmosphere of this pretty port. The hotel has 29 rooms on its 3 upper floors served by a lift. Although not large, all are simply and comfortably furnished and some retain the hotel s original features such as wooden floors. All are air-conditioned, have a fridge and ensuite shower/wc (a couple are with bath). Our prices are based on rooms to the front which have a balcony with harbour/sea views. For couples wanting a tad more space we'd recommend booking a triple room, which contains a double and a single bed and has a larger front sea view balcony. Breakfast can be taken at the hotel's ground floor cafe (local charge) or at any of the nearby harbour cafés. Sandy beaches are not far away a 5 minute walk to the town beach and 15 minutes to Riha Nera the other side of the castle. If you like fish, the tavernas by the harbour serve the freshest you could find. The Hotel: 2 Star Room Only (reception area) The Lemnos Hotel is below the castle (yellow building) Myrina Town Beach Myrina Archontiko Hotel Myrina Centrally located in the old part of Myrina, just behind the main pedestrian shopping street, the Archontiko building dates from 1851 and is built in the Turkish style. The hotel has 13 twin and double rooms with bath or shower on its three floors. They are nicely done with warm traditional decor and furnishings, wooden ceilings and stone-clad walls. Some are large enough to take a sofa-bed. Mod cons include air conditioning, TV, room-safe, mini-fridge and teamaking facilities. WiFi is provided but the signal can be erratic in some rooms due to the thickness of the old walls. Because of the age of the building there are no balconies but a pair of rooms on the top floor each have an enclosed terrace with seating and picture windows giving views to the castle and (over rooftops) the sea. There is also a 2-room suite with two sofa-beds in the living room. A good traditional Lemnian breakfast is taken on the ground floor. Being just a 2-3 minute flat walk from the sandy beach of Romeikos and 5 minutes from the harbour, the Archontiko makes an excellent base for those who like to be central and stay in a hotel of some character and history.

reece North Aegean Islands Lemnos Plati Beach Hotel Plati Occupying a prime location at the centre of beautiful Plati Beach, this small family-run hotel offers comfort, warm hospitality and plenty of space for peaceful relaxation either in the expansive gardens or on the beach immediately to the front. The hotel has 22 nicely renovated rooms, all with air-con, WiFi, TV (with BBC World), walk-in shower, mozzie-screened windows, safety deposit box, mini-fridge, hairdryer and individual balcony or patio. Classic double rooms are first floor and for max. 2 persons. They all have twin beds (can be double) and side-sea views over the gardens from their balcony. Garden rooms on the ground floor are larger (a double plus a single bed) and have a wider patio-terrace providing direct access to the garden and beach - some side-sea views are possible. The top floor houses Family Suites for up to 4 - open-plan or two separate rooms with a double plus 2 single beds (one may be a sofabed) - and an open-plan Junior Suite with a double plus a sofa-bed. These rooms have good sea views from their terraces. The surrounding gardens are lush and well-tended, and lead down to the Blue Flag sandy beach where the hotel has its beach bar and restaurant. Sun beds are free subject to a minimum purchase of 3 euros per person. It is a half-hour walk to Myrina harbour but Plati has a number of tavernas and a mini-market, either by the beach or in the old village up on the hill behind. The Hotel: Bed & Breakfast Plati beach Nikola Apartments Plati Just below the old village of Plati on the hill, the elevated location of Nikola affords panoramic views over the bay. The four apartments here are modern, spacious and well equipped. The 1-bedroom apartments are all on the first (top) floor and comprise double bedroom, living room with kitchen corner (full cooker and fridge) and two sofabeds, shower room and balcony with wonderful views over the open sea. The 2-bedroom on the ground floor is similar, with the addition of a second twin bedroom - the terrace here is very spacious. All have the benefit of AC in the bedrooms, TV, safety deposit box, hairdryer, washing machine and WiFi. The apartments are 700m from the beach - quick and easy to go down but there is a steep final 350m up so allow 10-15 minutes back. Platy Village is just a couple of minutes' walk above and has two traditional tavernas, a pair of cafe-bars and a mini-market. Due to the location car hire would be an idea here. The Apartments: 1-bedroom for 2/4 2-bedroom for 2/6

Greece North East Aegean Islands Samos Samos Samos offers such variety that everyone should be able to find what they want from a holiday here. With some 160 kms of coastline and a rugged mountainous interior to explore, you will encounter magnificent scenery, traditional inland villages, small fishing hamlets, established seaside resorts and many fine beaches. Of course, with attractions like these, and an international airport to boot, Samos receives its fair share of visitors. But tourism here is aimed towards the upper end of the market and, besides, being about 1437m 50 miles long the island is large enough to absorb its summer influx. The north and west attract many walkers in early and late season. Springtime and early summer see carpets of wild flowers. Pine-forests clad the lower mountain slopes the highest peak being Kerkis in the west at 1437m and tracks link village to village. Gentler walking can be found through the olive groves and vineyards lower down. Wherever you go you will find good beaches. They range from peaceful little pebble bays, with few people and one taverna, to longer stretches of sand or shingle with water sports and sunbeds for hire. Those on the north-east coast, picturesquely backed by cliff and pine, are popular and feature on all the postcards; those in the south are more sheltered and sandy towards the west. In common with all Aegean islands, Samos can be windy in the high summer months. Samos has a good bus service, especially along the north coast from/to Samos Town (aka Vathy), and the roads are also generally in good condition, making it an Votsalakia Limnionas Karlovasi Ormos Ag. Konstantinos Kokkari SAMOS TOWN Kerveli Psili Ammos Pythagorion easy island to explore. Sea excursions include guided day trips to famous Ephesus in Turkey, the historic island of Patmos and a boat trip BBQ, all operating out of Pythagorion. Samos has a fair amount of history of its own, as evidenced by remains in the environs of Pythagorion (which is itself named after the island s most famous son, Pythagoras). The most impressive of these are the ancient Temple of Hera and Evpalinus Tunnel, both dating from the 6th century BC. The former was a very important sanctuary indeed vast but never actually completed; the latter an aqueduct over 1000m long bored through the mountain rock an amazing feat of engineering. Finally Samos is known for its wine (the Golden Samena in particular is excellent). Perhaps that s why the temple remains still unfinished! SAMOS INFORMATION Getting to Samos Thursday Day flight Gatwick to Samos (note: inbound flight via Lemnos). Then 30-90 mins. by taxi or coach (see resort descriptions). For flight details see page 270. Multi-Centre Options Samos with Ikaria, Patmos or Kusadasi in Turkey - please see relevant resort pages for important transfer info. Samos can also be included in a tailor made island hopping itinerary with many of the Dodecanese islands e.g. Lipsi, Leros, Kos, Kalymnos - please enquire for details. Car Hire See page 268-9 for details. Cars booked to accommodation are delivered in the morning and collected in the evening. Representative Our Samos representative visits all areas.

Greece North Aegean Islands Samos Our chosen areas North Samos Samos Town, Kokkari & Aghios Konstantinos Transfer time 40 minutes & 1 hour Samos Town (aka Vathy) is the island s capital, climbing the hill amphitheatrically above a deep bay. Its red-tiled houses, cool squares and graceful neo-classical buildings lend an air of elegance. It is home to a wide choice of shops, cafes and restaurants of all hues. There is a buzz to the town, especially in the evenings along the seafront promenade. For a change of scene explore the old town of Ano Vathy up on the hill a very traditional Greek scene with its narrow lanes, whitewashed houses and bright splashes of bougainvillea. Ano Vathy has some good traditional tavernas of its own. The nearest beach is popular Gangou a 15 minute walk north of the harbour. The town is also home to an excellent archaeological museum and is the best base for inexpensive exploration of the island using its good bus service. With its three good beaches, long colourful waterfront and picturesque fishing harbour, all overlooked by the characterful old village above, Kokkari is an ever-popular choice amongst all ages and nationalities. Kokkari enjoys quite a cosmopolitan atmosphere especially in the evenings. There is a wealth of eating places to choose from, ranging from traditional taverna to upmarket bistro, and some nightlife. Kokkari also has a couple of internet cafés. The main pebble beach stretches for half a mile. Around the corner are two pretty shingle bays. A string of Samos most famous beaches begins only a 20 minute walk to the west with Lemonakia. A good bus service links Kokkari with Samos Town and Karlovassi. All excursions pick-up from the village, mountain bikes can be rented, there is a windsurf school, and the mountains behind offer fine walking opportunities. Aghios Konstantinos is typically Greek. Its stone buildings along the seafront house some half-dozen traditional tavernas, a handsome central church and a small harbour to one end. Although there is a small pebble beach much better ones start a short drive or bus ride to the east(or a 40 minute walk). But the greatest appeal of this area is for walkers and country-lovers. The village is at the foot of lush Nightingale Valley ( Aidonia ), one of the most beautiful areas of Samos. A walk up the steep, thickly-forested valley to the pretty village of Manolates, with its welcoming tavernas and panoramic views, is a must, and serious walkers can go on from here. South East Samos Pythagorion & Kerveli Transfer time 10-30 minutes Named after the island s most famous son, the ancient mathematician Pythagoras, Pythagorion is Samos s biggest settlement on the south coast (although there is not much competition!). Boasting a handsome semi-circular harbour has a wide promenade lined with plenty of cafes and restaurants from which to enjoy the comings and goings. Pythagorion is in fact a UNESCO World Heritage site. The island s tyrant ruler, Polykrates, had his capital here in the 6th century BC, and evidence of his original harbour walls can still be seen. There are the remains of Roman Baths to the west and the castle above the harbour dates from the 19th century. The remarkable feat of ancient engineering that is Evpalinas Tunnel, in the hills above, was made to ensure the water supply in times of siege and was bored for over 1000 metres through the mountain in 550 BC. Even older (8BC) is the Temple of Hera some 5 kms to the west. Behind the harbour, narrow lanes and cobbled streets add to the characterful small town atmosphere. Boat trips run to local beaches and include a picnic lunch; to Kusadasi in Turkey, from Aghios Konstantinos Kokkari where you are taken to ancient Ephesus; and to Patmos for the day. The town has a small but perfectly serviceable sandy beach just past the harbour, and to the west is the very long, clean sand/pebble beach which has sunbeds and umbrellas for hire, and seasonal watersports. Between Pythagorion and Samos Town, peaceful Kerveli is a completely relaxing little seaside spot on the undeveloped east coast of the island. Kerveli looks towards Turkey, and claims to be the first spot the sun s rays strike in Greece each morning! Whether true or not, it is undoubtedly one of the loveliest and most sheltered bays on Samos, accessed only via a narrow road that winds down through beautiful wooded countryside and olive groves. A pair of excellent, friendly tavernas (one of which stocks basic provisions), a sprinkling of villas/apartments and one hotel, a shingle beach with tamarisk for shade and a turquoise sea, all against a backdrop of thickly wooded hills. The countryside around Kerveli is wonderful for walkers, although for self-caterers car hire is recommended as there is no public bus (Kerveli Village Hotel guests can make use of the hotel courtesy bus to and from Samos Town).

Greece North Aegean Islands Samos Ormos South West Samos Ormos, Votsalakia & Limnionas Transfer time 45-60 minutes The peaceful south-western corner of Samos contains some of the island s finest beaches and scenery. Ormos is a delight a small traditional fishing village built around a working harbour, with a line of cafés and tavernas strung along the waterfront, a selection of useful local shops, a handful of apartments and just one hotel. Just past the harbour is the small sand/shingle village beach with sun beds and umbrellas, and a longer 'wild' beach starts just beyond. Regular visitors will be pleased to know that new marina/harbour has been completed. Ormos is a delightfully authentic and friendly little spot and the village provides everything you should need for a relaxed holiday in very 'Greek' surroundings. A mile to the west over the headland, and easily walkable from Ormos, Votsalakia (sometimes called Kambos) also offers a quieter holiday but with the facilities of a small resort. Votsalakia spreads itself along its very long, fine beach and has a good choice of restaurants, café-bars (including an internet café) and small shops. Cars and bicycles can be rented. The main sand/pebble beach is one of the longest on Samos nearly two miles with sun beds available, and offers good swimming in a very clean sea. A few miles further west a string of fine beaches culminates in Limnionas, which is as close to away from it all Greek perfection as you could find. It comprises simply a crescent of coarse golden sand (with shingle outcrops) shelving into a sea of Aegean blue; a pair of tavernas above the sea, plus one more on the road down and a seasonal minimarket (June-Sept.) for basic provisions; and the sheer slopes of Mount Kerkis Samos highest peak as an imposing backdrop. The whole region is fine walking country. Hikers will enjoy the trail up Mount Kerkis to Evangelistria monastery (a steep 3-4 hours cheats can get closer by car and just walk the last bit!); whilst more casual ramblers must walk the 2½ km track above the sea from Limnionas to the wonderfully named Taverna at the End of the World, where you can swim from the beach below before taking a well earned lunch. For all areas here car hire is recommended for further exploration as excursions and the once-daily early morning bus service are very limited. If you have a car for a few days you can also drive to Pythagorion for a day trip to Ephesus and Turkey. Limnionas South West Samos near Votsalakia 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk Greece & Cyprus 23

Greece North Aegean Islands Ikaria Ikaria Ikaria is one of the most beautiful and unusual Greek islands we have ever set eyes upon. Its mountains, forests and beaches combine with the island s many legends, foibles and traditions in a heady Aegean cocktail. TO PIRAEUS TO SAMOS The island is also one of only five identified 'blue zones' on the planet - a place where people live remarkably longer lives. All the more wonder then that Ikaria is so little known. This is largely because it is remote, and historically an island of exile until relatively recently. Neglected by Athens for many years, and ill-served by ferries to this day, Ikaria was left to go its own way. Still difficult to get to, those who make the effort are richly rewarded. Named after Ikarus, who flew too close to the sun and plunged into the sea here, Ikaria is 40 kms long but never greater than 8 kms wide. With Atheras soaring to over 1000 metres, this means some tortuous roads and dizzy drops, especially when crossing the island from the main port, Ayios Kirikos, in the south. Our accommodation is close to the fishing village of Armenistis on the north coast, 57 kms from Ayios. With long whitesand beaches to the east and lush mountain behind, it is the prettiest seaside spot on the island, and the centre of what limited tourism there is. The village has just the right number of tavernas, cafés and small shops to give enough variety. Five more (very good) restaurants can be found above the beautiful sandy cove at Nas 3 kms to the west, which has the remnants of a Temple of Artemis behind. Armenistis has a small beach of its own but, apart from when the meltemi blows, most people head for long Livadi or Messakti beaches just outside the village. Please be aware that Ikaria has some strong off-shore Armenistis Evdilos TO PIRAEUS AGIOS KYRIKOS currents and it is not always safe to swim (main beaches have warning flags). The forest on the mountainside directly inland from Armenistis is a natural paradise, full of the sounds of birdsong, rushing water and rustling pines. It hides lakes, monasteries and traditional villages, four of which (collectively known as Rahes) have produced a 25 km walking trail, split into sections, which starts just behind Livadi beach but try not to reach Christos before the evening when it comes to life (the locals sleep for much of the day!). There is limited public transport on Ikaria and taxis can be hard to find, so car hire is highly recommended (4wd if going much into the mountains) there is a lot to explore. Excursions do run, subject to numbers; some by jeep or 4wd minibus. One interesting trip last year included a visit to a winery followed by a traditional Ikarian dinner then an evening visit to the 'Asterix' village of Christos Rahes (see above). Ikaria is famous amongst Greeks for its Panayiri s (Saint s Day festivals), natural beauty, local wine, fresh fish and sunsets. It is not famous at all elsewhere, which is why we would urge a visit to this magical, wild and quite unique island. TO FOURNI TO SAMOS IKARIA INFORMATION Getting to Ikaria Thursday flight Gatwick to Samos (note: inbound flight via Lemnos), ferry to Ikaria (1hr 30 mins - 2hrs 30 mins) and onward transfer to accommodation (30-90 mins depending on which port is used). For flight details see page 267. It is likely that an overnight on Samos will be required in at least one direction as ferries to Ikaria are erratic and timetables can chop and change throughout the season. We will not have precise transfer information until shortly before your departure, but rest assured all required transfers and necessary 3 star overnight B&B hotel(s) on Samos will be arranged for you by Sunvil. Alternatively we arrange a tailor-made holiday using domestic flights from Athens, but this will also usually entail an overnight in Athens in one direction. Please ask for a costing. Multi Centre & Island Hopping Ikaria can combine with Samos and/or Patmos or Kusadasi in Turkey (via Samos). Should ferry schedules remain the same as last year, twincentre clients with Patmos need not make the mid-holiday transfer via Samos as there was a fast (90mins) direct catamaran service on Fridays and Sundays between the two islands. Ikaria can also be included in a tailor-made island-hopping itinerary with many of the Dodecanese islands e.g. Lipsi, Leros, Kos, Kalymnos and Telendos. Car Hire See page 268-9 for details. Representative We do not employ a resident representative on Ikaria but have a local agent based in Armenistis. Exchange Facilities There is no bank in Armenistis and exchange facilities are limited so take a good supply of Euros. The nearest ATM is Evdilos, 30 mins by road. 32 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece North Aegean Islands Ikaria Erofili Hotel Armenistis The Erofili is the highest category hotel on Ikaria and occupies one of the best locations just on the edge of Armenistis, directly above the sea, a three minute walk from the centre of the village in one direction and to the start of beautiful Livadi beach in the other. Built into the hillside on four floors (please note there is no lift) all 31 rooms possess fridge, satellite tv, hair-dryer, safety deposit box, tiled shower/wc, air conditioning (once the outdoor daytime temperature exceeds 30C) and a very spacious balcony (four have a garden patio) those to the front have panoramic vistas over sea and coast. Furnishings are of good quality and décor tasteful. At the lowest level there is a filtered seawater pool of some 90 sq m (depth 1.0m-3.20m) and a small path leads down to the rocks and sea below. The hotel has an airy reception/lounge/bar which leads onto the large sea-facing terrace where you may take breakfast. The hotel also has free WiFi, an internet corner and a heated indoor thalassotherapy pool with jacuzzi (local charge). The stunning views of open blue sea and green mountain coastline alone would make a stay here worthwhile. Early Booking Offer Reductions apply for holidays completed by 13/7 or commencing 31/8 onwards if booked by 31/3. Please enquire or check online availability for a costing. The Hotel: 3 Star Superior Bed & Breakfast (high season) Swimming Pool Messakti beach Valeta Studios Armenistis Beautifully located directly above the sea, the Valeta Studios are on a small headland between two of the best beaches on Ikaria Livadi and Messakti. They are a ten minute walk via Livadi beach (twenty minutes walk by the road) from Armenistis village. There is a handy restaurant almost next door if you don t want to go far. Studios are ground floor (double plus single bed) or first floor (twin beds). Each is spacious and openplan containing a kitchenette area with mini-oven, rings and fridge, a fan, TV, tiled shower room and good-sized front balcony or terrace with wonderfully open views over the sea and, to the side, the village ground floor terraces are especially large. Furnishings and decor are modern, comfortable and of good quality.

Greece North Aegean Islands Ikaria Muses Cottages Nas Armenistis All you can hear is the sound of the waves from these five cottages. Standing directly above the sea, Muses boast panoramic sea views (and spectacular sunsets!) and are a five minute walk from beautiful Nas beach, reached by a rough path and steps down. Even closer, within a couple of minutes' walk, you will find three of the island s bestknown restaurants. Stepped down the hillside, the cottages possess an attractive traditional design and decor (predominantly blue and white), with high wooden ceilings and tiled floors. All are cool, spacious and open-plan, comprising doublebedded sleeping area, living room with full-sized sofa-bed, fitted kitchen with 2-ring mini-oven and fridge, room-safe and a bath with shower above. All have AC and are tastefully furnished. To the front each cottage has an open seafacing sun terrace from which to admire the views. The owner, Dimitris, runs the first of the three fine restaurants here, which specialises in fresh local seafood. A local mini-market opens in season and Armenistis is 3 kms distant, via the small road which runs above the sea. Please be aware that Nas beach is (unofficially) naturist to one side. Muses offer super individual accommodation in one of the most beautiful settings you could find. The Cottages: Cottages for 2/3 Nas Beach Discover Ikaria One of Greece's most unusual yet beautiful islands, Ikaria has much to offer visitors. If you'd like to experience some of the island's more alternative activities during your stay then consider a company called 'Discover Ikaria'. Some of their activities are listed below. Short and easy walks Easy walks in Ikaria's unique natural landscape throughout the whole year supported by local nature guides. These walks are suitable for anyone who has a basic level of physical fitness. Walking is on dirt roads or wellmaintained rocky footpaths. Observation of the flora and fauna Ikaria preserves its natural beauty, authentic landscape and wilderness to this day. It s one of Greece's most unique islands and home to a wide range of ecosystems, including those found in mountains, forests, rivers, waterfalls, wetlands and valleys. These varied environments provide home and shelter for many rare species of plants and animals, and some of them can only be found on Ikaria. Foraging seasonal produce Ikaria's nature and farms offer a great variety of wild greens, herbs, mushrooms, fruit and nuts throughout the year. You will be shown how to recognise and forage produce by the seashore, in mountain forests, meadows or local farms and their many uses. Visiting beekeepers Ikaria is famous for the high quality of its honey and the health-giving properties it possesses (local honey has arguably contributed to the well documented longevity among Ikarians).

Greece North Aegean Islands Thassos Thassos Thassos is a refreshing combination of pine, chestnut and olive, mountain villages and golden beaches. It is the only island in Macedonia. THASSOS TOWN Kazaviti Skala Panagias Skala Kallirachi Mt. Ipsario 1205m Pefkari Potos Aliki Kinira This greenest and most northerly of the Greek islands is just 40 minutes by frequent ferry from the mainland. It is the archetypal 'island of contrasts': its 115 kms of coastline has a huge variety of beaches, from small, rocky coves to long, golden sand, whilst inland mountains rise to peaks of 1200m, with dense forests of cypress and pine; and ancient ruins are surrounded by modern facilities. In the east and south, small resorts have sprung up alongside its array of splendid sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. Many of the beaches are organised - sun beds are generally free, subject to purchasing a drink - but you can, with a car, find plenty which are not. The beaches being so good of course attract large numbers in high season - so if you can, we'd recommend you avoid the period from mid-july to end of August when the island and roads are very busy - but there are so many beaches here, and some are so long, that is not hard to escape the crowds away from the central resort areas. All over the island there are places to explore. In the capital itself (known locally as Limenas rather than Thassos) there is a 5th century B.C. Theatre, as well as an Agora and Acropolis; in the south, at Aliki, an ancient Temple and Sanctuary. As part of its Byzantine heritage, there are monasteries located in the most precipitous spots, like the monastery of Archangelos Michael, clinging to the cliffside near Aliki. High in the mountains, the traditional village of Kazaviti is typical of many, its stone-built houses with wooden terraces and balconies, and a village square complete with plane trees that give shade to a couple of restaurants and the sleepy kafenion. The island is criss-crossed with mule and goat trails that give you access to the dense colonies of herbs, flowers and shrubs that cover the interior; hawks, Thassos Town white-tailed eagles, owls, greenfinches and doves can be spotted. Thassos is a relatively easy island to get around independently. A good coastal road encircles the island and there is an island bus service to and from Thassos Town to the main resort areas and villages, although this can be a little erratic and/or infrequent depending on the season. Car hire is certainly recommended for at least part of your stay in order to explore in your own time. Excursions include not just the usual 'around the island' and boat trips to various beaches (lovely as they are) but options on the mainland - perhaps to wander amidst the ruins of the great ancient city of Philippi, a UNESCO World Heritage site close to the historic city of Kavala. Or even try a little gentle river kayaking along a 20 km stretch of the River Nestor high in the mountains. The delight of a holiday in Thassos is that the island has adapted to the needs of the modern visitor without affecting its allegiance to the values and beauties of the past. It is a large island which rewards exploration, and a very beautiful one from its forested heights to its many miles of white-sand beaches. THASSOS INFORMATION Getting to Thassos Friday flight Gatwick or Manchester to Kavala (note: MAN outbound flight may be via Skiathos). Then 20 mins transfer to Keramoti port and 40 mins ferry crossing (ferries are very frequent so any waiting time is minimal). Onward transfer to accommodation, see resort descriptions. Transfers may be by taxi which means clients take their luggage the very short distance onto the ferry (the driver can usually assist if required). Multi-Centre Options Any Thassos resort with any other. Can combine with Halkidiki (Olymbiada and Ammouliani) with car hire or mid-holiday transfer from Kavala airport, or a 'Hidden Greece' mainland fly-drive. Car Hire See page 268-9 for details.

Greece North Aegean Islands Thassos Our chosen areas Thassos Town Thassos Town. also called Limenas, is at the northern tip of Thassos and where the ferries dock from the mainland. It is a most pleasant island capital. With mountains behind, a sandy beach to one side and a picturesque old harbour, it has a relaxed Greek air, a wide choice of shops, cafes and restaurants, and a vibrant evening atmosphere. It is also littered with reminders of its past as the modern-day town is built on the site of the ancient city as evidenced by the Macedonian, Hellenistic and Roman remains still visible. The most evident site is the ancient Agora near the old harbour, whilst above the town is a tremendously located amphitheatre. There is an excellent museum where you can see finds from all over the island. For a big name site, guided excursions run to famous Philippi not far away on the mainland, close to Kavala. The beach is sandy and popular, and can fill up. But it is easy to hop on one of the watertaxis (seasonal) to larger Makriammos a little down the coast, or to Golden Beach. Skala Panagia (Golden Beach) Transfer time from Thassos Town c 30 mins Skala Panagia, also called Chrissi Ammoudia ('Golden Beach'), certainly lives up to its name with a wide and very long beach of fine sand which stretches around the bay for 1500 metres. It is one of the best on the island and has been awarded a Blue Flag. With its backdrop of steep green mountains, the setting is unmatched. Being on the north east coast, it is not far from Thassos Town which can be quite easily reached by hire car, bus, taxi or water-taxi. With such a location and attributes, you will not be surprised to read that Skala Panagia is a popular destination for all nationalities, but to date has remained blessedly laid-back. The usual small resort infrastructure of tavernas, cafes and small shops is mostly to be found in the valley between beach and mountain. It is not a densely developed area and there are no big hotels here. The old village of Panagia is on the hillside above, for those who enjoy a more traditional change of scene. Kinira Transfer time from Thassos Town c 45 mins Kinira, just over halfway down Thassos' verdant eastern coast, is a secluded very peaceful spot which takes its name from the island just offshore. Our accommodation here is directly above its strip of sand-pebble beach. On the main road above are two tavernas and a mini-market. 2 kms to the south is one of Thassos' loveliest beaches called Paradise, a wide long stretch of golden sand backed by pines. And 8 kms further to the south - just a 10 minute drive - is popular Aliki, one of Thassos' most iconic beaches with its own archaeological site above the sea. Kinira is ideal for those wanting a quiet escape away from the crowds yet close to beach and sea. Although there is a bus stop here car hire is recommended. Potos and Pefkari Transfer time from Thassos Town c 80 mins The south east and south of Thassos is home to some of the island's loveliest beaches. There is a whole string of them, not just in front of the resort areas but tucked away down dirt tracks and hidden behind headlands. Between Aliki in the south east and Limenari in the south west there are at least a dozen excellent sandy beaches, plus many small coves and bays. The small resort village of Potos is set at the heart of this riviera and has a good kilometrelong beach of its own. Potos is a pretty - and (in season) lively - little spot which has good facilities and plenty of shops and restaurants. Pefkari is in the next bay west and separated only by a pine-clad headland. You can walk between the two in around 10 minutes (800m), so they can really be considered as one and the same. Again, a super stretch of sand here, backed by some half dozen tavernas and cafes. Skala Kallirachi Transfer time from Thassos Town c 30 mins Situated on Thassos' west coast 23 kms to the south of Thassos Town, Skala Kallirachi is a non-touristy fishing village where you will experience the real Greece. The village is spread along the coastal road - narrow in parts and can be busy in season - and centred around its large working harbour. Skala Kallirachi is not a tiny village and boasts three or four tavernas, a pizzeria, a couple of cafe bars, three mini-markets, a bakery and a pharmacy. The village is still very traditional with a small church in its centre. The sardine festival at the end of July is an island-wide draw! Either side of the harbour are two sandy beaches, one backed by a snack bar. As the village looks west it benefits from beautiful sunsets over the sea and Mount Athos. The delightful hill village of upper Kallirachi is only 3 kms inland and has a village square and taverna of its own, plus a folklore museum. You can take the bus up and walk down. Walkers will love the 11km Kallirachi Trail that starts from here. A good bus service runs to Thassos Town. However a car, as ever, would be useful.

Greece North Aegean Islands Thassos Island View Villa (ex-blue Bay) Skala Panagia The most stunning views are to be had from this gorgeous little hotel, high on the cliff above Skala Panagia. Combined with the high standard of rooms, the pretty garden where you can relax with a sun bed and a good book, and the friendliness of the family, we think a stay here will be hard to beat. The recent full refurbishment of the entire hotel to a very high contemporary standard makes a nonsense of the star rating. The 15 twin and double rooms on the three floors are more akin to contemporary 4 star boutique standards. They possess Cocomat mattresses, AC, flat-screen TV (BBC World), safety deposit box, hairdryer, fridge, very nice bathroom with rainwater shower, mozzie-netted windows and doors, and a covered front balcony or terrace with panoramic views over the bay and mountains. The gardens to the front are carefully tended, blissfully peaceful, furnished with seating and sun beds, and shaded by an olive tree. Here you can enjoy breakfast, a drink or a snack from the bar. The walk down to beach and resort is 700m (10 mins) via a winding country lane which, other than at the very start and end, is more undulating than steep. However, do take a torch, and anyone with walking problems would need a car. There is a small sandy cove not many find before you get to the main beach. The Hotel: 2 Stars Plus Bed & Breakfast Alexis Villas Skala Panagia Set on a slight incline just 200m from the centre of Skala Panagia's magnificent beach, these apartments are stone-built and have a traditional flavour. They are on two levels, maisonettestyle, and open plan. The ground floor living room has one or two sofa-beds, a kitchen area (2-ring mini-oven, fridge), and a tiled bathroom with bath and shower above. A wooden staircase leads up to the twin-bedded sleeping gallery above the living room. Facilities include AC, TV (BBC World) and free Wifi. Decor and furnishings are traditionally rustic, with lots of stone and wood, and there is a good-sized front terrace with sea or side sea views. It is just a three minute walk to the beach, there is a mini-market close by, and you will find half-a-dozen restaurants to choose from with a ten minute stroll, including the highly praised Le Terrace just 100m away.

The nearest taverna is 300m and there is a supermarket opposite. It is 500m to the beach from here (6-7 minute walk) and there is a bus stop on the main road to the front (note: this road can be busy in season - some road noise is possible in July and August). In our view this is one of the nicest small units in Thassos Town. The Hotel: Room Only / Light Self Catering Swimming Pool Free Wifi Thassos Town Old Harbour Blue Dolphins Kinira A new accommodation in a quiet location directly above the sea with a beach to the front is a rare find, so we are pleased to offer this small block of two 1 bedroom apartments and two studios which was built in 2014. The studios are ground floor and comprise an open-plan room with double bed, small kitchen area with light cooking facilities (2 rings, fridge) and a small tiled shower room.

Delivery of cars is free. The Apartments: Studios for 2/3 Apartment for 2/4 38 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece North Aegean Islands Thassos Akti Hotel Pefkari The Akti is another example of a hotel that has significantly upgraded its rooms to a standard well above its official category. Coupled with its fantastic location just over the small road from beautiful Pefkari beach, a holiday here should tick all the right boxes. The hotel has 23 rooms on three floors (no lift). All have been upgraded to a very tasteful light modern style with good quality furnishings and fittings. All are double-bedded (some triples) with modern shower room and have AC, TV (BBC World), fridge, and safety deposit box included in the price. Balconies have mainly side-sea or pine tree views (note front sea view rooms can be requested at a supplement - most contain a double plus a single bed. Please enquire). To one side is the attractive 50 sq m swimming pool (depth 1.20m). Sunbeds on the beach are free of charge if you buy a drink, snack or meal from the hotel's well-liked taverna above. The beach is of the softest sand and has water sports and boat rental. Within a few minutes walk you will find another half-dozen restaurants, as well as cafes and small shops. If you want brighter lights in the evening 800m brings you to lively little Potos just over the headland. The Hotel: 2 Stars Plus Bed & Breakfast Swimming Pool Free Wifi Moonbeam Apartments Pefkari Run by the hospitable Dimitris, these spacious apartments offer plenty of peace and quiet and fine views.

Greece Ionian Islands Paxos Paxos Sweet, silvery Paxos is the smallest of the Ionian islands just seven miles long and three wide and lies to the south of Corfu. Many return each year: drawn back by its magical smallisland charm, pretty villages, thickly-wooded landscape, and white-pebble coves lapped by the clearest of seas. Paxos is literally covered with olive trees, and the oil is amongst the best you can find. Pines and cypresses also flourish, and lead down to the water s edge. Being so small, and such gentle wooded country, Paxos is a paradise for walking particularly in the spring or early summer when countless varieties of wild flowers bloom. It is small enough to walk the length of in a day, and criss-crossed with hundreds of paths and tracks. Bleasdale s excellent 'Walking Map and Guide' can be bought locally. Despite its size there are over 30 beaches to choose from. Bar sandy Mogonisi most are small and of white pebbles which shelve gently into crystalline waters. Some can only be reached by small motorboat, easily rented and the best way to explore your local coastline. For sand, you have only to visit tiny Antipaxos a mile to the south, which has Caribbean-hued waters. Antipaxos is reached by small water-taxi from Gaios. The population of Paxos is around 3,000. Most live in the three main seaside villages of Lakka, Loggos and Gaios, the capital. Each has its own distinct character and charm. The little port of Lakka in the north looks towards Corfu. Its large, almost circular bay offers sheltered waters and an aquamarine sea. Olive trees come down almost to the water's edge and hide white-pebble beaches. Lakka has an authentic, friendly village atmosphere - Lighthouse PAXOS Lakka Apergatika Dendiatika Loggos Magazia Boikatika Fontana Bogdanatika Velliantatika Gaios Ozias Kaltonisi Island Mogonisi Island the whitewashed narrow lanes running back from the attractive harbour hide a good choice of cheerful tavernas, cafes and small shops. Loggos is the smallest and prettiest of the three, with about 30 old houses clustered around the waterfront. Those choosing to stay close to the waterfront will be at the heart of village life here, which can be busy in season. Loggos has some excellent tavernas, a bakery and a few small shops. The nearest good beach (Levrechio) is a five minute walk around the headland. Gaios is the capital. Although not large, it is the most cosmopolitan and popular with the yacht fraternity. It has an attractive flag-stoned square, plenty of cafés, a number of small bars and a good choice of restaurants. The view of Gaios pretty waterfront buildings from the island of Aghios Nikolaos across the narrow channel is little changed since Lear painted it in the 19th century.

Greece Ionian Islands Paxos Sophia s Apartment Loggos We think Sophia s has possibly the best location in Loggos. It is located at the southern entrance to the village, above the harbour but not directly on the road, and enjoys spectacular views. Reached by a fair number of steps (note: quite steep and unlit so unsuitable for anyone with walking or visual impairment), all the rooms, including the shower room, are accessed from the outside terrace. It comprises one double bedroom (air conditioned), a living room with two full-sized sofa beds, a separate kitchen/diner with cooker and fridge, and a large shower room. To the front there is a large vineshaded terrace, perfect for enjoying the wonderful views over the harbour to the mainland beyond. Levrechio Beach is a five minute walk away over the hill. Although an older property, as most are around Loggos harbour, considerable refurbishment has taken place in the winter of 2016 to upgrade facilities, decor and comfort. We are hopeful that photographs showing the extent of the upgrade will be available to view on our website from early 2017. WiFi Note: WiFi is provided by a Mobile WiFi device.

Greece Ionian Islands Paxos Poppy s Apartment Loggos Some of the most beautiful views over Loggos bay are to be had from Poppy's large vine-shaded front terrace. This spacious self-contained apartment occupies the entire top floor of a house with a private entrance from the rear (the owners live below). It is built on the hillside above Loggos, some 400 metres up a small road (steep in parts) from the village, so the location would be unsuited to anyone with walking difficulties, and those with very young children should also take note. There is a handful of other houses nearby. Entrance is from the back of the house into the dining room. The separate kitchen contains a full cooker and off it there is a tiled shower room with wc. There are two bedrooms, a twin and a double (both air-conditioned). To the front there is a huge vineshaded terrace veranda which enjoys lovely views over the olive trees to Loggos harbour and the sea the perfect spot for al fresco dining. A folding bed can be placed in the dining room for a child. Poppy s was not built as a holiday apartment but as a Greek home. Furnishings and décor are hence a little old-fashioned, and the house has a homely air. A spacious holiday home with plenty of Greek character, a quiet location and fine views. Air-conditioning: Available at a local charge of 5 per day per bedroom used. Early Booking Offer Up to 100 off per apartment per week (max discount 200) for bookings made by 31/1. Conditions apply - see page 267. The Apartment: Apartment for 4/5 Ioanna Apartments Loggos This pair of semi-detached 1- bedroom apartments occupies a peaceful position on the wooded hillside above Loggos, with lovely views to the bay. A five minute walk down the hill brings you, via a small path, to the harbour (a little longer back) however, as the walk up is steep in parts it would not be suited to those with walking difficulties. The apartments are spacious and neatly furnished in a typically simple style. Each has a side entrance into a living room containing kitchen with full fridge and mini-oven with rings, and room for a folding bed. The tiled shower room is accessed from here. To the front the twin bedroom opens onto the front covered balcony boasting beautiful views over Loggos harbour and bay to the hillside opposite. Each apartment, too, has a large open sun terrace to the side - one is somewhat shielded by shrubbery and bushes, the other is open and huge. For larger parties (or two couples) the apartments can combine via a removeable balcony divider. Recommended for their space and quiet hillside location, Ioanna are within a short walk of this delightful village yet away from the summer bustle. Air-conditioning: Available at a local charge of 5 per day Early Booking Offer Up to 100 off per apartment per week (max discount 200) for bookings made by 31/1. Conditions apply - see page 267.

Greece Ionian Islands Paxos Loggos Mills Loggos Tucked away on the hillside within mature landscaped gardens a short distance from Loggos, this group of four exceptionally stylish cottages offers seclusion and high levels of comfort. In our view Loggos Mills ranks amongst the island's premier accommodations - the interior design of each being more akin to that of a suite in a good contemporary boutique hotel. Three of the cottages - named Agathi, Lotus and Myrtle - are terraced but have good privacy from one another as the crimson bougainvillea serves as a natural screen between each cottage's private terrace. These cottages are open-plan with king-size beds, and comprise a spacious airconditioned living/dining/sleeping area with kitchen corner (full cooker, fridge) and shower room. Facilities in each include CD and DVD players, TV, safety deposit box, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, pool and bath towels, and sea facing terrace. The fourth cottage (Juniper) is detached. It has the same facilities but the living room is separate to the double bedroom and has two sofa-beds. The large shared swimming pool (11m x 7m) has wide-ranging views over ancient olive groves, down to the sea and across to the Greek mainland. A five minute walk brings you to the nearest taverna, and Loggos, with its beach, bakery, mini-markets and harbourside tavernas, is a five minute drive. Loggos Loggos Mills cottages are stylish, airy and more than comfortable, with a distinctly Italianate feel. Although ideal for couples, the cottages can also be combined for a larger group. Early Booking Offer 50-150 off for bookings made by 31/1 on most departure dates. Conditions apply - see page 267.

All are double or twin bedded and possess air conditioning, mini-fridge, LCD TV, hairdryer, room safe, tea-making facilities, shower room and veranda, most with some form of sea view. Superior and Sea Front rooms and Suites have a tasteful elegant decor, better sea views, and a bigger, very modern shower room. Behind the beach is the restaurant and an outside bar with snacks available (live music here on one or two evenings a week). The hotel has a tennis court (free usage), sauna/massage facilities (local charge), provides beach towels (1 a day), and WiFi is available from the restaurant, bar and reception areas. The Paxos Beach is ideal for a very relaxed holiday in quiet, green surroundings with a beach to hand and Gaios within walking distance. Due to the location and a number of steps, this hotel would not be suitable for those with walking difficulties. Early Booking Offer Reductions apply for bookings made by 31/3.

Greece Ionian Islands Corfu Corfu This most northerly of the Ionian islands is the greenest and, perhaps surprisingly, one of the most traditional of them all. Corfu s charm and beauty have captivated visitors for generations and remain as intoxicating as ever. Corfu s variety also plays a part in its enduring popularity. With over 200 kms of coastline, the island really can offer something for everyone. Beautiful, flower-filled, washed with soft Ionian light, Corfu is impossible to describe in a few words. Groves of tall, silvery-green olive and cypress trees cover the slopes of the central hills tumbling down to the steep west coast, famed for its sweeping sandy beaches and magnificent sunsets. Our small resort of Aghios Gordis here appeals to all generations of different nationalities, and families particularly appreciate the fact that there is no coastal road running behind the superb beach here. Still among olive trees, netting spread at their feet ready for the harvest, the south levels out. Our tiny hideaway of Maltas combines an untouched countryside, rich in traditional ways, with one of the best sandy beaches on the island. Go north and you will find a different scene: a rocky, twisting coastline of cliff and ravine, curling round the great mountain called Pantokrator, Lord of Creation. The north east, with its whitepebble coves, stupendous views and countless walks, is particularly magical. The Corfiots are the most friendly and generous people, especially the country folk. They work hard on their land and many still follow traditional lives. Walkers, botanists and ornithologists will find an inexhaustible source of interest in Corfu. The Corfu Trail, which winds from north to south through some of the island's most beautiful and enduring landscapes, can be tackled in small chunks and runs close to all our chosen resort areas (and even through Liapades). Paleocastritsa Liapades Aharavi Agios Gordis Kassiopi Avlaki Kalami Agni Nissaki Barbati Gouvia Maltas CORFU TOWN Perivoli Lefkimi To quote from Landscapes of Corfu, Walking on Corfu is sheer bliss. You will be spoilt by a kaleidoscope of landscapes, and you needn t be an intrepid hiker to find these beauty spots. The walks lead to some of the most beautiful beaches you will ever see. Corfu Town is different again, and different too from all other Greek towns, the result of long successive years of Venetian, French and British rule. By reason of its two massively strong forts it never yielded to the Turks. The mazy streets of the Old Town contrast with the Venetian and French elegance of the centre and very English cricket is played on the Esplanade green! So don t miss out on Corfu. As any one of its regular visitors will tell you, to know this particular island is to be captivated by it.

Greece Ionian Islands Corfu Our chosen areas North East Coast Barbati & Kalami Transfer time 40-60 minutes For years the north-east corner of Corfu has attracted the discerning visitor, for this winding stretch of coastline packs a huge scenic punch. The rocky coast restricts development, so here narrow roads run steeply down to white-pebble coves and beaches. This is a land of small villages and fishing hamlets dominated by Mount Pantokrator above. Especially beautiful are the views to Albania. Boat hire is a big deal here - the indented coastline is made for it - and both our resort areas have motorboats available for rental. Barbati marks the start of the north-east coast and has one of its best beaches - a mile-long stretch of pristine shingle shelving gently into a sparkling sea. Backed by a handful of fashionable beach bars and restaurants Barbati has a chilled 'beach life' vibe. Up on the main road above you will find more restaurants (some very good - Barbati has a growing reputation for the quality of its food), some low-key bars, a couple of supermarkets, a church and a shell museum. Views are good too, over the sea to Corfu Town's fortress. Halfway up the north-east coast, at its heart, is pretty Kalami. The village is small, albeit busy in season, but has not been overly spoiled by its claim to fame in the shape of the Durrell family who lived here in the 1930s, their house now a pleasant taverna above the sea. There are three more tavernas on the sheltered shingle beach and one up on the hillside behind. There are some lovely walks available from Kalami, using coastal paths and steeper inland tracks. A 15-20 minute pleasant walk south over the wooded headland - via the gleaming white-pebble beach of Yaliskari (excellent snorkeling) - brings you to peaceful Agni, one of Corfu's most scenic bays and home to three of the island's best known taverna restaurants. Two of them operate a boat-taxi service from Kalami in the evenings for their customers, making for an atmospheric alternative dinner venue. Going north you can walk to the picturesque village of Aghios Stefanos in around 75 minutes, via Kouloura and Kerasia beach. North Coast Aharavi Transfer time 60 minutes Past the tip of the island is the start of Almiros beach, one of the longest on Corfu and remarkably little-developed until Aharavi a little way along. This small resort is generally low-key and holds appeal for families as the beach is safe and magnificently sandy. Some fine walking is also to be had from here. In fact walking everywhere in the north is a major attraction. Serious walkers will find Mount Pantokrator offers unlimited scope, its slopes awash with flowers, birds and butterflies in the spring and early summer. Casual walkers will enjoy the coastal routes, as tracks over the headlands link the coves in mainly easy walking. West Coast Aghios Gordis & Liapades Transfer time 45-60 minutes Aghios Gordis steep verdant hillsides and rugged cliffs plunge into an aquamarine sea and typify Corfu s central western coast. The vistas of mountain and sea are spectacular, particularly as the sun goes down (this coastline is famed for its sunsets). Gordis is family-friendly by virtue not only of its long sandy beach but by the fact that it has only one narrow street leading down to the sea and no beach road. The Blue Flag beach is one of the best a kilometre-long stretch of sand (some shingle outcrops) in a glorious natural setting. The small resort behind has all the facilities you should need over twenty tavernas, a good choice of cafés, a handful of bars and a number of small shops. Yet, because Gordis attracts such a mixed clientele (the village is popular with all ages and nationalities) it lacks the excesses of the larger resorts. Some nightlife there is, so safe options for older teens (in August there are a couple of music bars) but most people staying here have come to quietly relax: on the beach in the daytime and in the tavernas at night. The beach can be busy but is long enough to accommodate all and has plenty of sunbeds (free if your patronise the café or restaurant behind). Apart from one large hotel at the far end, the majority of accommodation is housed in smaller units dotted amongst the trees. Excursions run by coach, and there is an efficient bus service to Corfu Town only 16 kms distant. Hire of a car will enable easy exploration of other beaches not far to the north Glyfada, Myrtiotissa, Ermones and the pretty hill-top village of Pelekas, which reputedly has the best views (and sunsets) of all Corfu. Liapades in the north west is just 4 kms to the south of famous beauty spot Paleokastritsa, and the landscape here is totally beguiling. Located at the northern end of the Ropa Valley, a network of country lanes and donkey paths crisscross the area, making it wonderful for walking (the Corfu Trail runs through here). Some lead down to a number of beautiful coves and beaches; others to some of Corfu's loveliest villages. Liapades old village is a kilometre inland and typically sleepy, its small but pretty square overlooked by the 17th century church of Ayia Anastasia and a pair of traditional kafeneia ('old man' coffee shops!). Between the village and the beach you will find a good choice of small shops, cafes and taverna restaurants. The beach is a mix of sand/shingle, about 100m long and quite wide. Flanked by the rocky arms of the headland the sea here is usually sheltered and calm, and the most wonderful shades of aquamarine. It is organised, with sunbeds, canoes and motorboats for hire. Just back from the beach is the well known Cricketer's Taverna. Buses run up to five times daily from the old village above to town, sometimes via Paleokastritsa. Alternatively small boats will take you to the famous sea caves of Paleokastritsa as well as to other nearby beaches, of which there are at least a dozen, many of which can only be reached by sea. One you can get to quite easily is gorgeous Rovinia, just a ten minute walk over the headland. Kalami Aharavi beach Aghios Gordis 52 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece Ionian Islands Corfu St George s Bay Country Club & Wellness Spa Aharavi If you are looking for peaceful and beautiful surroundings in which to recharge your batteries then you could do no better than a stay at this most civilised hotel. Long established, the St George s Bay is aimed towards couples looking for high standards and complete relaxation (to this end children under 12 are discouraged!), aided by the magnificent new spa facilities. It set in 15 acres of lawns and subtropical gardens leading to a long, beautifully sandy beach. The 86 suites are contained in various 2-storey terraced buildings, built in a very pretty traditional style. Type A Suites possess a living room with light kitchen facilities and fridge, a twin or double bedroom, shower room with wc, and a spacious covered balcony or terrace with garden or mountain views. They are air conditioned, possess tv and a safety deposit box, and are comfortably furnished. The Type B Suites are larger with a divan-bed in the living room for a third person. Refurbished to a high standard, they have a bath or shower, and we consider the supplement for these rooms to be worth paying. Type C Suites are a little larger and can sleep up to 4 persons prices on request. The magnificent freshwater swimming pool measures some 450 sq m (depth 1.80-2.40m) with spacious terrace surrounds. Behind is the Clubhouse - WiFi free of charge here - housing reception, lounge, library and the oak-panelled Prince Philip bar! Elsewhere there is a floodlit tennis court (no extra charge). The beach is very long (8 kms) and mainly sandy, shelving gently into a clean sea - beach towels are provided for a small refundable deposit. The old stone farmhouse that fronts the beach is now an excellent restaurant dress code for dinner here is smart-casual. Half board may be worth consideration as we have always found the cuisine excellent. The small resort of Aharavi, 500m distant, has a good selection of tavernas, café-bars, small shops and watersports. The St George s Bay is under German management so standards, service and attention to detail are high. The owner is an avid walker and has created several trails in the area. He is also a keen environmentalist, hence the careful preservation of the original stone buildings and the unspoiled surroundings. In keeping with the overall philosophy here, the pool area is designated a quiet zone. Total relaxation in a civilised atmosphere and a natural, peaceful environment is the ultimate aim of St George s Bay Country Club, and we think they have succeeded admirably. We could not recommend a stay here more highly. Half Board: 126-147 per week (depending on season) for a 4-course dinner served to table (choice of 3 main courses including a vegetarian option).

Greece Ionian Islands Meganissi Meganissi Meganissi is the largest of Lefkas half-dozen satellite islands by some distance, and the only inhabited one. Although just halfan-hour by regular ferry from Nidri, which sails past Onassis Skorpios en route, its sleepy atmosphere and slow pace of life feel like a different planet. LEFKAS Vathy Spartochori Katomeri Kythros Abelaki Bay This is an island from which to forget the cares of the world, one where you can completely relax and lose yourself in magnificent views, walking, swimming and other simple pleasures. Meganissi has two ports, each with a village above. The first small harbour is called Spilia, named after a nearby seacave. It comprises simply a pretty bay where fishing boats jostle with visiting yachts for mooring, a popular taverna and, to one side, a shingle beach called Rocca, also with a taverna. It is a 10-15 minute walk up to whitewashed Spartochori above, a delightfully flowerfilled village with a couple of restaurants of its own. 3½ kilometres to the east is the small port of Vathy. Vathy has some half-dozen well liked waterfront restaurants, popular with Lefkadians who pop over on Sundays for a leisurely fish lunch! The attractive village of Katomeri is a kilometre inland. Some pretty pebble beaches can be found within a 10-15 minute walk, and others may be reached by water-taxi. The ports and villages are all linked by a circular road which runs above the sea and then winds its way inland through an idyllic country landscape. A network of footpaths and goat tracks makes walking through the gentle rolling countryside a popular activity you could, for example, complete the round of ports and villages (cheats can take the ferry from Spilia to Vathy!). Serious walkers will enjoy the trail south along Meganissi s spine. In keeping with Meganissi s unspoiled nature, beaches are generally uncommercial, pristine and uncrowded. Most are of white-pebble, backed by pine and cypress. Ai Yiannis, also linked by country road from Spartohori, is the best known in the west and has a taverna views to Lefkas are exquisite. On the east coast, 1.7kms from Vathi (mostly walking above the sea but also served by a high season bus) brings you to beautiful Fanari. The heavily indented coastline hides many more secluded coves, bays and beaches, some accessible only on foot or by boat. Car hire is recommended for non-walkers and bicycles and motor-boats can be hired. Island Hopping trips by excursion boats operate alternatively small boats will take you around the sea caves and the neighbouring Prince s Islands. For brighter lights it is easy to visit Lefkas for the day, or even just a few hours. But we think most won t want to stir from this beautiful, restful spot. MEGANISSI INFORMATION Getting to Meganissi Sunday flight Gatwick, Birmingham, Bristol (provisional) or Manchester to Preveza. Then 1 hour by coach or taxi to Nidri and 30-40 mins. ferry.

Greece Ionian Islands Lefkas Lefkas Lefkas, also known as Lefkada, is only just an island. Once joined to the mainland, the Corinthians dug a canal in the 6th century BC. Now a swing-bridge links the two again, which means that on Lefkas you have all the benefits of an island atmosphere together with access to some of the most beautiful parts of western Greece. Lefkas has a distinctive flavour, partly Ionian, partly Epirot. Tourism has come relatively recently and even Nidri, the only true resort on the island, has retained a Greek character (albeit busy in season). The east coast is sheltered, pretty and shingly, with pine and olive trees to the water s edge. There are good views too, across to the mainland or the four Prince s Islets in the strait. The west coast is very different rugged and open, with sheer white cliffs towering above an azure sea and fabulous beaches, some only reached by boat. The mountainous interior is delightfully green with many working villages to explore. Some, such as Karia, are known for their traditional crafts (in this case embroidery). All can be easily reached by car. Lefkas is noted for its wine, and an annual festival of folk dancing, held in August. There is plenty to do on Lefkas. A good excursion programme includes boat trips to the island of Meganissi and around the pretty Prince's Islands just offshore (including well known Skorpios), the famous beach of Porto Katsiki, and (by coach) around-the-island. You can rent a mountain bike, a small motor boat, even learn to sail a yacht. Agios Nikitas Vassiliki Karia Mt Stavrota Agios Ioannis Mikros Yialos LEFKAS TOWN Ligia Nikiana Periyiali Nidri Geni TO PREVEZA AIRPORT Meganissi They say Aphrodite was born here; Sappho leapt to her death on Lefkas; and one German archaeologist, having uncovered the remnants of a city dating back to 2000 BC, spent the rest of his days trying to prove that Lefkas was the Ithaca of the Odyssey, and that Homer had it wrong all along! For more visible remains it is best to take a car and go to the mainland perhaps to Nikopolis, a vast Roman city only partly excavated just to the north of Preveza; or even to Delphi, although we recommend an overnight stay here. As with all Ionian islands, Lefkas is busy in August. Nevertheless, there are not many Greek islands which have (in effect) direct flights, and yet which have retained their traditions and character to such an extent as Lefkas. Nidri LEFKAS INFORMATION Getting to Lefkas Sunday flight Gatwick, Birmingham, Bristol (provisional) or Manchester to Preveza. Then 45-60 mins by coach or taxi. For flight detaiis see page 267. Multi-Centre Options With Meganissi, Parga, Sivota, Epirus, Albania, Fly Drive. For multi-centre details see page 8. Car & Motorboat Hire See pages 268-9 for details. Motorboats are available for rental from Nidri. Representative Based in Nidri, visits all areas. 64 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece Ionian Islands Lefkas Our chosen areas Nidri Halfway down the east coast of Lefkas, Nidri is the island s most popular resort. Nidri is the best place to be if you want easy access to a wide choice of restaurants, some nightlife, an interesting variety of well-priced boat trips and watersports, and has a broad appeal to a range of ages and nationalities. Its situation is most attractive, at the head of a sheltered bay with mountains behind and looking towards the islands of Meganissi and Skorpios. Although Nidri is not a large, international-style resort there are no big hotels for example in season it enjoys a lively cosmopolitan atmosphere, especially during the evenings along the length of its colourful harbour front. To the north Nidri has a long, narrow fineshingle beach from which all manner of watersports are on offer. Small motorboats can be rented for exploration of the nearby islands and coastline. Nidri is also a centre for yachting. The quay is always lively, and the harbour restaurants and cafés are perfect for watching the various comings and goings. In the evenings the atmosphere can be positively cosmopolitan, especially around the traffic-free high street and harbour areas. Lefkas Town and Agios Ioannis Lefkas Town on the northern tip has an attractive Greek character and a wide choice of restaurants, smart cafes, lively bars and good shopping. Buses run to all points and there is often something going on (the town is known for its arts and festivals, especially a dance festival in August). Agios Ioannis, just to the west of town on the other side of the lagoon, is an area of superb long near-white sand/shingle beaches stretching for some 5 kms. Being so close to town they do get understandably busy at peak times, but are so long you can always find a spot to yourself. There are the usual beach tavernas and bars at various points and often a cooling prevailing wind (the area is known for kite-surfing). The area is flat and therefore good for cycling along a network of country lanes, and there is also a circuit around the lagoon. Ligia and Nikiana Ligia is an excellent choice for those who wish to relax away from the crowds yet make the most of what Lefkas has to offer. A few kilometres south of Lefkas Town, it is a quieter, less commercialised area. Its tavernas by the harbour are well known to locals as the places to come to for a good fish meal. Nikiana, a few kilometres further south, has a variety of restaurants and small shops of its own. Again, the harbour tavernas are probably the best place to enjoy freshlycaught fish. Both Ligia and Nikiana are close to the mainland, and there are lovely views across the straits to the mountains. As everywhere on Lefkas the surroundings are green and wooded. Beaches here are of the small, pebbly, pretty variety, the sea clean and very sheltered. This is a particularly good area from which to get out and about buses will take you to Lefkas Town or to Nidri and nearly all excursions pick up from here. Alternatively, rent a mountain bike. Recommended for a relaxed, very Greek holiday, with plenty to do should you so wish. Nidri Mikros Yialos The deep indented bay of Mikros Yialos to the south of Lefkas hides the finest beach on the east coast - a long wide stretch of gleaming white pebble mixed with sand which shelves into the beautifully clear turquoise water. Although the beach is inevitably busy on Greek high days and holidays, most visitors come for the day only as accommodation is still limited here. Also known as Poros, after the traditional village high on the hillside above, Mikros Yialos is some 20 minutes drive to the south of Nidri, the last 7 kms via a long and winding road which snakes down the wooded mountainside. Although its setting lends Mikros Yialos a somewhat 'away from it all' atmosphere, especially in the evenings, close to the beach are some five tavernas and a minimarket. Boat hire is available if you wish to explore the stunning coastline here. A peaceful retreat with a super beach in gloriously scenic surroundings, our hotel here is, we believe, the most exclusive on Lefkas. As Mikros Yialos is secluded, car hire is recommended should you wish to see more of the island. Agios Ioannis beach Dessimi Beach, Geni 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk Greece & Cyprus 65

Greece Ionian Islands Lefkas Palm Trees Hotel Nidri This super little hotel ticks all the right Sunvil boxes right on the beach; family-run and friendly; modern, comfortable rooms with brilliant views; quietly located yet within a few minutes walk of Nidri s atmospheric waterfront and a wide enough choice of restaurants, cafébars and shops to satisfy all tastes.

In the daytime the hotel s snack bar means you can enjoy a drink, an ice cream or a light meal served to you either on the terrace or in the pretty gardens leading onto the beach where sunbeds are available at a local charge. The family who own and run the hotel (Dina and Nikos) have made many British friends over the years, and so you should not be surprised to read that Palm Trees has built up a very loyal clientele with many regular guests, the highest recommendation of all.

Greece Ionian Islands Lefkas Orion Suites Nidri If you are looking for the best in Nidri then the Orion should suit. Directly on the beach, and with a pool to boot, we believe the recently built Suites here offer the highest standards in the village. The nine Suites are housed in a separate 3-storey building to the rear of the main hotel, with a pretty garden between the two. They are less than a minute s walk from the main road in one direction (5-10 mins to the centre and harbour) and just 50m from the beach in the other.

In front of the main building, where a buffet breakfast is laid out each morning, is the 100 sq m freshwater pool (depth 1m-2m) with snack bar to one side (free Wifi in this area) and decked seating above the beach. Really top quality, and we think exceptional value for the 4 star standards on offer here. : available at a local charge of 5 Euros per day.

The Suites: Bed & Breakfast Swimming Pool Lefkas Blue Lefkas Town/Agios Ioannis area The luxurious Lefkas Blue offers exceptional standards.

Greece Ionian Islands Ithaca Ithaca It is Ithaca s distinct lack of mainstream tourism, coupled with its mythological past, which makes it an island well worth visiting. Although many people have heard of Ithaca, few have ever come to stay. For those that do, their reward is a peaceful, strongly traditional Greek island, mountainous and scenic, with some very pretty villages and sparsely populated beaches. Ithaca divides into two halves. Mount Aetos, which joins north with south, is barely half a mile in width at its narrowest point. The highest peak on the island is Neritos at just over 800 metres. The west coast is very rugged, with sheer mountainside rising steeply from the sea for much of its length. The east side is gentler, and its indented coastline provides several natural harbours, which is where Ithaca s three main coastal villages Frikes, Kioni and Vathy are to be found. Frikes is the smallest of the three and delightfully sleepy, with a lazy, very Greek air. Four tavernas and a café or two front the sea here, which doubles as the mooring place for a line of colourful fishing boats. With the mountain behind, and green hills to either side, Frikes enjoys a very natural, unspoiled setting and offers good walking country. Some very nice white-pebble beaches can be found within a 15 minute walk. Kioni is very pretty indeed. Thankfully, Ithaca having no airport, it has not succumbed to over-commercialisation. The horseshoe bay, backed by wooded hills, is lined with neo-classical houses. There is often a flotilla moored up, and a number of good family-run restaurants and small shops around the harbour. The bay itself has three or four beaches dotted around it. With the hire of a boat it is easy and fun to discover others beyond it for yourself. Vathy is the charming island capital. Built along the sides of a long fjordlike bay, Exhogi Platrithia Afales Bay Agios Yannis Frikes Stavros Kioni Piso Aetos TO SAMI (KEFALONIA) Anoghi Vathy has some lovely old buildings along its expansive waterfront. There are some good beaches dotted around the peninsula to the east, and in season small water-taxis will take you to and fro. Scuba diving, snorkeling and sea kayak excursions can be arranged from Vathy by our island representative. There is a bus service between the three seaside villages but this is limited so car hire would be a good idea for further exploration of the island. Was Ithaca really the homeland of Odysseus? There are plenty of clues certain descriptions and places Homer mentions do seem to fit and it is fun to do a little detective work and see if you agree.

Greece Ionian Islands Kefalonia 78 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece Ionian Islands Kefalonia Kefalonia Kefalonia is the largest of the Ionian group of islands. Lying midway between Corfu and Zakynthos, it is an island that rewards exploration many times over with its dramatic scenery, distinctive traditions, fine beaches, and unspoiled way of life. The sheer variety Kefalonia offers the visitor is one reason why so many return. The Kefalonian landscape is stunning. Mountains soar to over 1600 metres; beaches range from long stretches of the finest golden sand to tiny white-pebble coves; pine forests swathe the hillsides; whilst in the fertile valleys, olive and citrus are cultivated. The whole is lapped by the bluest of seas. Like all the Ionian islands, Kefalonia is at its best in the springtime and early summer when the wild flowers are literally brilliant. There is so much to see on the island that car hire is almost essential at some stage as the local bus services are limited. Sleepy Agia Efimia on the north-east coast remains authentically Greek. It has some fine tavernas and a good choice of sheltered, pretty pebble beaches nearby. It is close to the small town of Sami, from where the ferry-boat runs to Ithaca. The north-western coastal road is currently closed for repair (entailing a detour via the hill villages) but when open it reveals dizzy vistas of cliff and sea, the classic view being of glistening Myrtos Beach far below. (Watch out for goats on the road here!). Assos in the north-west is another photostop with village, small beach and crumbling Venetian Fortress on the pine clad hillside opposite guarding the pretty bay. On the northern tip is the chocolatebox fishing village of Fiscardo, facing Ithaca. The south is dominated by Mount Aenos, the highest peak on the island, although the coastal views here are gentler. A myriad of small villages skirts the lower slopes of the mountain, and the road Agios Spiridon Svoranata Assos Fiscardo Agia Efimia Lixouri Cave ARGOSTOLI Lassi TO Melissani Cave Sami Drogarati TO ZAKYNTHOS LEFKAS Mt Aenos 1625 m Poros Lourdas Scala Katelios eventually brings you to the burgeoning resort of Scala with its long sandy beach. The capital, Argostoli, is a modern, bustling town with wide streets lined with palms, a wonderful main square and some excellent restaurants. The museum here is worth visiting. Kefalonia s second town (and Argostoli s arch rival), Lixouri, lies across the strait and is best reached by one of the frequent ferry boats which ply between the two. Elsewhere there are underground caves to explore, hidden monasteries to seek out, and numerous simple village tavernas to sample (along with the excellent local wine!). Of course, beaches are never far away, but we stress that Kefalonia should be explored to get the most from your holiday. TO ITHACA TO THE MAINLAND Assos Kefalonia Information Getting to Kefalonia Saturday day flight Gatwick, Birmingham, Bristol (provisional) or Manchester to Kefalonia.

Greece Ionian Islands Kefalonia Our chosen areas North East Kefalonia Agia Efimia & Sami Transfer time 1 hour Friendly Agia Efimia has, over the years, developed from a sleepy backwater into the colourful little port it is today. It has, however, lost none of its welcoming village feel, and enjoys an authentically Greek atmosphere. It is at the northern end of Sami Bay, and looks across to Ithaca. To either side of the village are a number of dazzlingly white pebble coves which shelve into the clearest of water, making for fine swimming and snorkelling. The village has plenty of other restaurants and several café-bars lining the long quayside. There is often a flotilla in, adding to the convivial evening atmosphere. Small shops, mini-markets and the village bakery provide most things you should need. Motorboats can be hired and there is a diving school. Organised trips include the islands of Lefkas and Ithaca by boat and an island tour by coach. Between Agia Efimia and Sami, some 6 kms to the south, is a further string of pristine beaches. Sami is larger and the port from which ferries will take you to Ithaca in as little as 20 minutes. Near Sami are the caves of Melissani and Drogarati, one of which is famed for its stalagtites, the other for an underground lake (fun to be rowed across by a local boatman). Agia Efimia and Sami are fine bases from which to explore the whole of the north. Good road links mean that Argostoli can be reached in under an hour, and the northwest coast in around 20 minutes (although please note that the coastal road to Assos and Fiscardo is currently closed for repair entailing a detour via the hill villages). Local exploration is enjoyable on foot and our representative will be pleased to lend you a published local walking guide. One popular trail takes you across the island from Agia Efimia in the east to stunning Myrtos beach on the west coast - one of the most photographed beaches in Greece. North Kefalonia Fiscardo & Assos Transfer time 90-120 minutes (if main coastal road remains closed) The north of Kefalonia is a land of rolling, heavily wooded hills (cypress and pine predominating here over olive), gleaming white-pebble beaches, and some of the island s prettiest villages. Fiscardo is most picturesque and upmarket. Located on the island s northeastern tip, it gazes dreamily to Ithaca. The pastel colours of the old fishermen s houses along the waterfront now housing restaurants, smart cafés and small shops contrast with bright splashes of bougainvillaea, whilst fishing boats jostle with yachts for the prime moorings. Inevitably Fiscardo gets busy in the high season. There are some lovely beaches, such as beautiful Emblissi and a selection of smaller pebble beaches and coves to the south reached on foot or by boat. In the other direction lies peaceful Foki Bay some 20 minutes from the harbour. From Fiscardo you can visit Ithaca and also Lefkas for the day. But most visitors are happy to stay put; perhaps renting a small Fiscardo motorboat to explore the coastline and coves during the day before deciding which harbour restaurant to be tempted by that evening. 20 kms to the south, tiny Assos lies far below the road running above the steep north west coast. For such a well known beauty spot it remains remarkably unspoiled. Its setting is a picture. Built above a horseshoe shaped bay, it has a fishing harbour to one side and a pebble beach to the other. The bay is a natural harbour and guarded by the remains of the Venetian fortress which crowns the hillside opposite. Despite the earthquake of 1953, Assos has managed to retain some of its old houses and facades. The village today has four tavernas, a couple of cafe-bars and a minimarket - no ATM though. Assos is a reasonable base from which to discover northern Kefalonia - you will need a car, though, as the bus service is limited. Assos should appeal to anyone looking for a quiet, away-from-it-all holiday in atmospheric, very pretty surroundings and an unspoiled small village atmosphere. Car hire note: we can now pre-book car hire in Fiscardo and Assos using a local supplier, which saves hefty delivery charges from Argostoli - please enquire.

Greece Ionian Islands Kefalonia South Kefalonia Katelios Transfer time 45 minutes The southern coastline of Kefalonia boasts a string of safe sandy beaches, good views to Zakynthos, and the fabulous backdrop of Mount Aenos (at 1628m the highest peak in the Ionian). The area is understandably popular with couples and families alike. Katelios has a lazy charm. It is a laid-back little village with an established fishing harbour and an attractive tree-shaded waterfront lined with half-a-dozen authentic tavernas (there are more in the village). These are well known for their fresh fish and popular with locals, always a good sign. At the head of a broad valley, Katelios has a very nice sand (some shingle) beach to one side called Agia Varvara, which stretches for some 200 metres and shelves very gently so is very good for children. (Children will also love the rock pools to be found nearby) The whole area is a protected turtle breeding zone and so visitors are requested to pay a quick visit to the offices of the Katelios Group in the village to learn about the programme. Just inland is the village of Markopoulo. For anyone in the area on 15th August (Assumption Day) it is a must to visit the church to witness the bizarre snake-handling ritual which takes place! The church is built on the site of an old nunnery and legend has it that, when attacked by pirates the nuns prayed to the Virgin Mary to be transformed into snakes to escape. This duly happened and every year this transformation is commemorated by the miraculous 'return' of the snakes (which are actually harmless!). Katelios is, with a car, well placed for further exploration of the south. There are plenty of other good beaches and small inland villages in either direction, culminating in the larger seaside village of Skala almost at the southeastern tip (the nearest thing there is to a resort here).

Greece Ionian Islands Zakynthos Zakynthos Gentle Zakynthos, also called Zante, lies to the south of Kefalonia and enjoys a superb and temperate climate. Measuring some 19 kms by 38 kms, it is a lush fertile island, given largely to agriculture and Agios Nikolas an unhurried rural way of life. TO KEFA LONIA Makris Gialos Alikes Old Alikanas Planos Exo Hora 756 m ZAKYNTHOS TOWN TO VASSIL IKOS PELOPO NNESE Wild and mountainous in the north and west, the contrasting central Limni Keri 413 m and southern plain is a delightful mix of shady olive groves, fertile valleys and vineyards. In springtime the hillsides are ablaze with wild flowers, and enormous brightly coloured butterflies can be seen everywhere. The Venetians romantically called the island Il Fiore de Levante ( the flower of the east ), a name which would not be undeserved even today. The south lays claim to the island s best sandy beaches, many of which lie within the Marine Park set up to protect the nesting grounds of the endangered loggerhead turtle. Limni Keri is a small seaside village tucked away on the western side of Laganas Bay and enjoys fine views to the island of Marathonissi. The area holds most appeal for families and couples desiring a tranquil, very Greek escape in unspoiled rural surroundings, close to a beach. Its beach is long (albeit narrow), mainly sandy and shelves gently into a safe sheltered sea. The village has some half-dozen authentic local restaurants, a café and mini-market or two, and a bakery. Backed by a green valley (once a lake, now a nature reserve), with wooded hills to either side, there are some good walking opportunities, perhaps to the traditional village of Keri a Gerakas few kilometres inland. Boats will take you to explore the nearby Keri Caves and Marathonissi (Turtle Island), or motorboats may be rented by the hour. The north of Zakynthos is peaceful and unspoilt, having no established resort areas here once you venture above Alikes. It is an area of rolling green hills (becoming more mountainous to the west), traditional inland villages, and a dramatic coastline hiding shingle beaches, limestone cliffs, arches and sea caves. The sea here is almost impossibly blue. Boats depart daily from the small port of Agios Nikolaos for the Blue Caves, a mustsee. Most then go onto the muchphotographed Shipwreck Cove, where you can swim from stunning Navagio beach in view of the aforementioned hulk. Ferries also run to Kefalonia making a day trip easy, but you will need a car. Agios Nikolaos has three tavernas, cafes and a mini-market arranged behind its attractive little beach, and motor boats for hire. A few kms. to the south brings you to Mikro Nisi, a delightfully peaceful little cove with a pair of tavernas above, and then to Makris Gialos, the most popular beach of the area. Inland the hill villages show the traditional side to Zakynthos and are a delight to wander around, Volimes being the largest. Wherever you stay on Zakynthos we'd recommend the Sunflower Guide to walkers and those with a car. ZAKYNTHOS INFORMATION Getting to Zakynthos A wide range of flights on various days of the week from Gatwick, Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham and a wide range of other regional airports - odd durations may be available. Then 30-60 mins. transfer to your accommodation. Car Hire See pages 268-9 for details. Representative We are represented by our local agents who will meet and greet you at the airport and visit in resort during your stay. 90 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

The 1-bedroom villas have entrance into a small open plan living room with a fitted kitchen area (3-ring mini-oven), an AC double bedroom, walk-in shower room and a spacious covered front terrace with lovely views over country, hillside and bay. Facilities include plasma TV with DVD player, WiFi, hairdryer, iron and board and safety deposit box (local charge) Three of the four 1-bedroom villas are terraced, but as each is on a different level and stepped back from one another, plus there is a high stone dividing wall between them, good terrace privacy is preserved. The 2 bedroom occupies the top floor of a separate building (the ground floor is used for storage only) and has an additional bedroom plus a full cooker in the kitchen, a bath with shower above, a second WC and very large L- shaped covered terrace with panoramic views. All are well furnished - a mix of traditional and modern - and can sleep an extra person on a sofa bed in the living room area (two if small children). To one side away from the villas is a good-sized pool with furnished surrounds and a BBQ area. A pool bar is open for drinks, snacks and light lunches for much of the season It is a 10 minute walk down to the village, tavernas and beach (but do take a torch as the road is unlit in parts). For the standards offered here we believe these villas to be very well priced. Early Booking Offer Reductions apply for bookings made before 31/3. Please enquire for a costing.

Greece Mainland Epirus Coast Sivota Sivota Also known by its Turkish name of Mourtos (they were masters here until 1913) Sivota is in Epirus, that mountainous region of the north west. This is one of the loveliest areas of Greece green, scenic and traditional. Sivota enjoys a setting of remarkable natural beauty. All around are hills blanketed by pine, cypress and olive, the trees in many places reaching the water s edge. The twisting coastline is indented with rocky coves, sandy bays, and stretches of almost white coarsesand/fine shingle beach such as Mega Ammos a mile outside the village. Just off-shore are three wooded islets with beaches of their own, great fun to explore by boat, maybe taking a picnic. The hire of a small motorboat is recommended and is the best way to reach not only the islets in the bay but also nearby hidden beaches. A water-taxi will also take you inexpensively. The village itself has plenty of Greek character. Although organised foreign tourism remains fairly low-key, the village has in recent years become increasingly popular with Greeks themselves (a fair few holiday homes are being built) and so the village, harbour and beaches bustle with life over weekends and during Greek holiday periods. The harbour is pretty as a picture, with an array of cafés and restaurants (some quite smart), small shops, and often a flotilla moored at the quay. A ten minute flat walk (no hills) brings you to the upper part of the village, with church, stores and more tavernas. The nearest beach is just over the headland from the harbour, and manyb others can be reached in a 10-15 minute walk in either direction. Excursions run (subject to demand) by boat to Paxos and Corfu, one of which is a lovely day out on a private sailing boat and by small bus to Necromanteion and Glyki. There is a dive school now based in Sivota. Corfu Paxos SIVOTA However, there is a limited bus service, so if you want to make the most of the area the hire of a car would be a good idea. Some wonderful areas then become accessible, including the inland lakeside town PARGA Lefkas Kefalonia TO IOANNINA ZAGORIA & METEORA Preveza Meganissi Ithaca of Ioannina; the preserved mountain villages of Zagorochoria; even the monasteries of the air of the Meteora, one of Greece's most impressive sites. All can now be done in a day using the new fast Via Egnatia highway. Deh Beach SIVOTA INFORMATION Getting to Sivota Sunday flight Gatwick, Bristol (provisional), Birmingham or Manchester to Preveza. Then 2 hrs by coach via Parga or taxi and local transfer in resort. For flight details see page 270. Multi-Centre Options Sivota with Parga, Lefkas, Meganissi, Epirus, Albania.

Greece Mainland Epirus Coast Sivota Rodanthi Apartments Sivota Location of Rodanthi Apartments (arrowed) The Rodanthi enjoys rural surroundings and is a short walk from a choice of beaches and Sivota harbour (900m, 15 mins - take a torch for late night returns). The five studios are a mix of twins and doubles (some can also accommodate a child) all possess AC, light cooking facilities (minioven, rings and fridge), shower room and a covered balcony with views to the sea over the wooded hills. The furnishings are comfortable and the decor light. A room-safe is provided free. The 2-bedroom apartment is first floor and has one twin and one double bedroom, each AC and opening onto a covered terrace; a kitchen/diner with fitted units, full cooker and fridge; a shower room with wc; and a spacious covered front terrace. An extra bed for a child can be placed in one of the bedrooms. The pool below measures 72 sq m (depth 1m-3m) and has sun umbrellas as well as a pergola for shade. There is a small water-park nearby in the high season but this is far enough not to disturb. A path leads directly to popular sand/shingle Stavedo beach in only a minute or two, with its taverna behind. Pretty pebble Zeri beach, with its well liked restaurant above, is next door. And a five minute walk north brings you to little-known Deh beach (pronounced They-ee!), a beautiful and usually peaceful bay. The slightly hilly approach and a number of steps would make Rodanthi unsuited to anyone with walking difficulties without a car. Air-conditioning: local daily charge 4 (studio), 8 (2-br). Early Booking Offer Up to 100 off per apartment per week (max discount 200) for bookings made by 31/1 (excludes 1 week holidays dep. 28/5). Conditions apply - see page 267. The Apartments: Studios for 2/3 Apartment for 4/5 Swimming Pool Top floor apartment terrace Magnolia Apartments Sivota Almost all you can see from these four delightful apartments is flowers and greenery. Surrounded by remarkably pretty gardens, including a water feature, views are to the rolling countryside and green hills behind Sivota. Sea views can be had from the large sun terrace which fronts our top floor penthouse apartment. The house is 900m from Sivota harbour, a little before Zeri beach. Our apartment occupies the entire top floor, so very spacious, and has been tastefully furnished with attention to detail (e.g. mozzienetted windows) and quality. Decor is attractive, light and modern. The air conditioned living room has a modern open fitted kitchen with full cooker and fridge, a dining and a sitting area with a double sofa-bed for one adult or two children. French windows lead to a nice covered balcony. The bedroom has a double bed and flatscreen TV, and there is a modern shower room with hairdryer. But the piece de resistance is its wonderfully private large open roof terrace, furnished with sun beds and affording lovely views to Sivota and the sea. You could (and doubtless will) spend the majority of your time here. In addition there is a BBQ in the gardens for guests' common use. Sivota harbour is a 10-15 minute walk and a choice of beaches can be found within the same time in either direction, the nearest being just 300m away. A hilly approach, especially the last 200m, is unsuited to anyone with mobility problems unless a car is hired. Air-conditioning: available at a local charge of 5 per day. Early Booking Offer Up to 100 off per apartment per week (max discount 200) for bookings made by 31/1 (excludes 1 week holidays dep. 28/5). Conditions apply - see page 267.

Greece Mainland Epirus Coast Sivota Sioutis Apartments Sivota Excellent newly built accommodation in quiet country surrounds within a short walk of both beach and harbour. The eight 1-bedroom apartments here are in four detached buildings well separated for privacy and surrounded by spacious lawns and pretty borders. Each occupies its own floor and comprises a double bedroom; a living room with two extra beds suitable for children or smaller teens; a fitted kitchen area with full cooker and fridge; and a nice modern shower room with hairdryer. Both rooms have air conditioning and TV (BBC World), and both open onto the spacious covered front balcony or terrace (those on the top floor can glimpse the sea over the olive trees). Room safe is free of charge. Away from the buildings is a small 7m x 4m swimming pool with a low key pool bar behind serving light meals and (evenings) home made Greek dishes. In season a weekly BBQ night usually operates here. A country lane leads to Galikos Malos beach in 3 minutes, and the harbour is just a 5 minute walk away (400m). The walk up from the harbour, although nothing very steep, is a steady incline and so may not be suitable for slow walkers without a car. Stylishly furnished throughout, the Sioutis offers a very good standard of spacious, modern accommodation in lovely surroundings, high levels of comfort and service (daily cleaning) and a quiet location close to town and beach. The Apartments: Apartments for 2/4 Swimming Pool View from Panorama Botsaris Panorama Botsaris Apartments Sivota Being directly above the Filakas Hotel on the hillside to the south of the harbour, the Panorama has even better views. It takes only a couple of minutes to get down but the walk back up, via the road and steps, is steep! The 26 apartments here have been renovated in an attractive light style. They comprise one double or a double and a twin bedroom, basic kitchenette unit (rings, fridge) and bathroom with bath or shower. Our allocated 1-bedroom apartment has a separate living room with kitchen area and sofa-beds. Facilities include TV (BBC World) and room safe. All bedrooms have AC and access the large private front balcony with fabulous views over the harbour and village to the green hills behind. The pool below is 12m x 6m (depth 1.50m-2.50m), has free Wifi and more great views from the furnished pool terrace. Some harbour noise is probably inevitable in this location, but this is usually only for a few high season weeks. Early Booking Offer Reductions apply for bookings made before 31/3. Please enquire or check online availability for a costing. The Apartments: Apartments for 2/4 Swimming Pool Mikri Ammos 96 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece Mainland Epirus Coast Sivota Filakas Hotel Sivota The Filakas has a superb location on the hillside directly above Sivota's pretty harbour. Now it has the rooms to match the views, as all have been comprehensively and very nicely upgraded to what is actually a 4 star standard. The 40 rooms are stepped up the hillside above the hotel's restaurant above the sea (known for its fresh seafood). All possess twin beds (normally placed flush together), lovely modern bathroom with walkin shower, AC, TV, safety deposit box, hairdryer and good-sized balcony terrace with glorious harbour and sea views. Some interconnect. The modern style, decor and furnishings are fashionable, light and attractive, and we found the staff to be helpful and friendly. The hotel has a lounge, cafe-bar and sun terrace above the restaurant area. The hotel does not have a lift so the internal steps would make it unsuited to anyone with walking difficulties. Due to the location, if you are staying in high season (especially August) you should expect some harbour noise in the evenings. The Hotel: 3 Stars Plus Bed & Breakfast Sivota view from Filakas Sivota harbour Sivota Muses Sivota Quietly positioned on the hillside 400m from the harbour, these three cottages offer plenty of peace and quiet and fine views. It is a steep walk up though! The studio cottage is above and behind the other two. It comprises one large air-conditioned open-plan space containing a double bedded sleeping area, a fitted kitchen with full cooker and fridge, and a goodsized shower room. Two sets of mozzie-netted French windows open onto the very spacious covered terrace to the front, which affords lovely views to Sivota, the harbour and the hills beyond. The owners live upstairs but will not disturb. The two lower cottages are set well apart and of a similar description, but larger with the bedroom and living room separate. The cottages are high-ceilinged, cool and airy, and very nicely furnished in an attractive modern style. One or two folding or sofabeds can be placed in the living area for families.

Greece Mainland Epirus Coast Sivota The Blue Coast Sivota The Greek-Canadian run Blue Coast overlooks the sea at the quieter end of the harbour, which means that everything you should need is within a short walk, including Galikos Malos beach over the headland in the next bay (5 minutes). There are only four rooms here, all on the first floor. Each has a rear bedroom, a shower room with wc, and a living room at the front with tv, an electric kettle and fridge. Airconditioning is available at a local charge if required. All open out onto the common front balcony, which has lovely views over the harbour and one of the islands in the bay. The ground floor restaurant serves Greek cuisine at its best. Do not worry about having the restaurant below it is not noisy and, besides, the bedrooms are at the back. We have worked with The Blue Coast since we started our programme to Sivota Recommended for its harbour-front and friendly atmosphere, excellent views and central (yet relatively quiet) location. Note: Cleaning is twice weekly and linen change once weekly. Air conditioning available at a local charge of 4 per day. The Hotel: Bed & Breakfast Galikos Malos beach is a 5 minute walk from the harbour Evanti Apartments Sivota At the quieter far end of Sivota harbour, these four newly built apartments offer high standards of comfort and good views. The three 1-bedroom apartments are on the ground or first floor. Spacious and very nicely furnished in a bright modern style, each has a comfortable open-plan living room with one or two sofa-beds (full sized), flat-screen sat TV with DVD, and fitted kitchen area with full cooker and fridge; a very nice modern tiled shower room with hairdryer; and a cosy air conditioned double bedroom (a/c included). Both the bedroom and living room open onto a covered front balcony or spacious terrace with harbour views. The open-plan studio on the ground floor is also large and double-bedded (can be made into twins) with the same facilities (but cooking rings only, no oven) and opens onto its own large covered terrace to the front. With the harbour on your doorstep - so just steps from an array of restaurants and cafes - and Galikos Malos beach only a 5 minute walk over the headland, Evanti is the perfect choice for those looking for top quality self catering accommodation close to all the attractions of this little port. The ground floor units are suitable for those with impaired mobility as there are no steps. The Apartments: Studio for 2 Apartments for 2/4 View from Evanti 98 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece Mainland Epirus Coast Sivota Elaias Suites Sivota These three stylish modern apartments are set high above the sea some 700m from the harbour and boast enviable views over Sivota's twisting coastline and the sea. There is one larger apartment on the ground floor and two smaller studios above. The apartment has a comfortable open-plan living room with sofas, large flat-screen TV and full kitchen; a twin bedroom (can become a double on request); a tiny annexe room with two bunk-beds for smaller children (no door); and a hydro-massage shower. Facilities only for this apartment include DVD, CD, washing machine and dishwasher. Picture windows allow sea views to two sides and open onto the spacious covered front terrace with table and chairs. The top floor studios are the same in terms of beds, kitchen and shower. Again, picture windows and private front terraces make the most of the light and views. The righthand studio (B) is larger and has its own outdoor (but shaded) sitting area behind with rattan furniture; the left-hand studio (A) is cosy and romantic with super views front and side from your bed! To the front is a lawn and small pool for all guests' use with sun-beds and a pergola for shade. Bella Vraka island beach - reached by fording across a narrow sandbar - is a 3 minute walk down the hill. The walk up from the harbour is steep at the start but you are well rewarded by the contemporary standards and the views here. : AC is included (all rooms) and set to 24C, which is considered the most comfortable temperature for sleeping. The Suites: Studios for 2 Apartment for 2/4 Swimming Pool Mikro Paradisos Hotel Sivota This friendly, family-run hotel is a mile from Sivota and next to lovely Mega Ammos beach, the best in the area. Set amongst extensive and immaculate gardens, it is an oasis of lawns, flowers, trees, palms, shrubs, butterflies and birdsong! The hotel has just 26 rooms, with a mix of doubles and twin mattresses on a double base. All include air conditioning, TV, fridge, telephone, safety deposit box, hairdryer, shower room, and balcony or terrace with lovely garden or mountain views. Furnishings and décor are simple and light. The rooms are not huge so a third bed is recommended for a young child only (for families some rooms interconnect). Safety deposit boxes are provided in reception. The hotel restaurant operates most evenings and specialises in delicious BBQ grills as well as traditional Greek dishes. The magnificent freshwater pool at the front of the gardens measures 170 sq m (depth 0.7m - 2.0m) and has a Jacuzzi area, a children s section and an adjacent low-key pool bar.

Greece Mainland Epirus Coast Parga Parga Parga is almost too pretty for its own good. With a lush countryside which remains fresh and green throughout the summer, magnificent beaches, and a characterful harbour topped by a castle, it is no surprise that this bustling little town has become so popular. It is the only true resort in Epirus, that mountainous province of north west Greece. Like Sivota further up the coast, Parga has beautiful natural surroundings. Its hills are covered in olive, pine and cypress, a perfect complement to the attractive indented coastline and wooded islets just offshore. The town shelters behind a rocky headland crowned by a Venetian fort. An array of brightly canopied cafés and restaurants lines the waterfront. Behind, narrow lanes, small shops and old houses climb the hill. Night life is whatever you want to make it, from traditional tavernas to lively music bars. There is a perfectly fine town beach, from which you can pedalo or swim to one of the islands in the bay. However most head for magnificent Valtos beach just around the headland, or Lichnos further south. Both are long, sheltered and sandy, and have a full range of water sports. Water-taxis shuttle twixt harbour and beach. The more energetic can walk over the headland to Valtos in about 20 minutes. Epirus is well worth exploring. You don t have to go far to be in the midst of untamed country containing an abundance of bird and wildlife. Storks, their nests precariously balanced on the tops of telegraph poles, are some of the easiest to spot. Excursions now run to Corfu Paxos SIVOTA PARGA Lefkas TO IOANNINA ZAGORIA & METEORA Preveza Meganissi Albania, as well as to the island of Paxos and up the Acheron River (which, according to mythology, was the entrance to Hades!). Parga is an organised resort which holds great appeal for all ages and nationalities. It gets particularly busy in the high season and sometimes at weekends with Greeks. So far Parga s character and charm have enabled it to survive its growing popularity there are still no big hotels for example. However, if you can, visit offseason when this still delightful town is at its best. PARGA INFORMATION Getting to Parga Sunday flight Gatwick, Bristol (provisional), Birmingham or Manchester to Preveza. Then 1 hour by coach or taxi. For flight details see page 270.

Greece Mainland Epirus Coast Parga Palatino Hotel Parga The Palatino's location, high on the headland at the top of Parga's old town, lends stunning views over the castle, Valtos beach and the sea. The hotel is personally run by Alecos and Aleca and has three floors, served by a lift. All rooms are attractively furnished and possess air-conditioning, wifi, room-safe, hairdryer, fridge, tv and balcony with panoramic sea views. Deluxe double rooms are on the first and second floors and double or twin bedded with sea or town/hill views. They are of a good size - most also have a sofa bed - and nicely furnished with a walk-in shower. The Grand Deluxe rooms on the top floor are double bedded and have been refurbished to a high standard in a boutique light modern style. They are spacious with room enough for a double sofa-bed, a bath with shower above or a walk-in hydro-massage shower and a larger balcony (ours with front sea views). We do not believe any other hotel in Parga can rival the views from here. There is also a 2- room family suite on the top floor. Other facilities include sauna and hamam (local charge), laptop rental and (limited) parking. The outside terrace, where you can take breakfast, a drink from the bar or a snack, again has those wonderful views. From the hotel a narrow road takes you to the castle, where steps lead down to mile-long Valtos in one direction and (via a maze of narrow lanes) to the harbour in the other. It is about a 10 minute walk to each (a little longer back). However, the old town here has its own good selection of tavernas around the castle, and a really friendly 'village' atmosphere to boot - so no need to join the harbour throng! The Hotel: 3 Stars Bed & Breakfast Palatino (red building) is directly above Valtos beach Acrothea Hotel Parga This beautifully designed small hotel opened in 2008, and combines a wonderfully convenient location a very short walk from the harbour with fine views and great comfort. The 19 rooms here are opulently furnished, in keeping with the building s neo-classical style. All are double-bedded with all mod cons flat screen TV, fridge, airconditioning, room safe, hairdryer and a nicely tiled shower room, some with a small bath too. Iron bedsteads, richly coloured curtains and hand-carved furniture complete the picture. Sunvil s rooms all have a front balcony with views to the harbour, island in the bay, castle and old town. Deluxe rooms are on the top floor and boast uninterrupted views. There is a small breakfast room although this will usually be taken on the outside terrace and the hotel has free Wifi access. The friendly family who own and run the Acrothea aims to give a high level of personal service. A minute s walk via one of Parga s warren of tiny alleys brings you to the harbour, and a further minute or two to popular Krioneri beach. However, the slightly elevated position of the hotel, and a number of steps at the property, would make it unsuited to those with walking difficulties.

Greece Mainland Halkidiki Halkidiki Renowned for its magnificent golden beaches, often backed by the green of a pine forest, Halkidiki has three legs - peninsulas extending into the Aegean south-east of Thessaloniki (Salonika). Thessaloniki Moudania Polygiros Afitos KAS S ANDRA Ammouliani Ouranoupolis To Alexandroupolis Kavala Stavros Olymbiada Arnea Stratonio SITHONIA AGION OROS (HOLY MOUNTAIN) Owing to this geography, Halkidiki boasts one of the longest single stretches of coastline in Greece, much of it sandy. The white of the sand, the azure of the sea and the green of the pines typify Halkidiki - in places the coastline could almost be mistaken for the Caribbean. This all means that Halkidiki sees plenty of visitors in the summer months and a string of resorts and hotels, large and small, has sprung up. Some areas, inevitably, get over-busy, but with some 500 kms of coastline here these are not difficult to avoid. Most visitors stay on the western peninsula called Kassandra which has the majority of Halkidiki's more established resorts. That said, it also has many of the best beaches too and boasts what is undoubtedly one of Halkidiki's prettiest and most traditional seaside villages in Afitos - one little spot which has worked hard not to lose its character. Least developed of all is the easternmost peninsula, Athos, as is appropriate for a region which takes its name from the Holy Mountain at its tip. This peninsula is world famous for the male-only monk s republic in its southern half. One trip every visitor should make is the daily cruise down Athos' western coastline to view the monasteries from the sea - really quite spectacular and even at 500m distance from shore (the closest that women are permitted!) one gets a sense of the mystery and power these ancient Byzantine monastic citadels still exude. Not many people know that Halkidiki has an island! We are delighted to be the first British operator to offer holidays to Ammouliani, just off the top of Athos' western flank. Ammouliani is Halkidiki's only inhabited island and is very small and friendly. Like the rest of Halkidiki, Ammouliani boasts a string of superb white-sand beaches. Inland Halkidiki is good for walking almost everywhere, and some organised trails are now starting to appear. There are traditional villages such as Arnea, a 45 minute drive through the forest from Olymbiada, and the spectacular Petrolona Cave some 35 kms south east of Thessaloniki, which is the site of the famous skull, Europe's oldest hominid estimated at some 800,000 years old. The little museum here is fascinating. Our holidays here can be very flexible and we are pleased to quote for odd durations. They may also be combined with a few nights in fascinating Thessaloniki, or with a fly-drive arrangement to discover northern and central Greece. HALKIDIKI INFORMATION Getting to Halkidiki Holidays are based on daily flights Gatwick to Thessaloniki. Then 1½-2½ hrs by minibus or taxi (see resort descriptions). Regional flights from other airports (including MAN, EMA and LTN) available. Odd durations from Gatwick and Manchester can be arranged (please ask for details). Multi-Centre Options All resort areas can be combined. It is also easy to arrange a few nights at the start or end of your holiday in the vibrant and historic city of Thessaloniki (see page 239). Holidays here can also combine with a fly-drive of northern and central Greece, including Pelion. For multi-centre information see page 8. Car Hire Can be pre-booked in Olymbiada or from the airport. See page 268-9 for car hire details. Representative We have a local agent based in Thessaloniki who can always be contacted but no representative in our Halkidiki resort areas. However, English is spoken at all our hotels, who are always happy to give local information and assistance. Stay in a Mount Athos Monastery For details of this unique opportunity if you are male! See page 110 and our website. 106 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece Mainland Halkidiki Our chosen areas Athos Peninsula Olymbiada, Ouranoupolis Transfer time 1½ hrs (Olymbiada) to 2½ hrs (Ouranoupolis) Olymbiada is an unspoiled, authentically Greek seaside village. It is in an area of outstanding natural beauty and even has its own archaeological site, ancient Stagira, the birthplace of Aristotle 2400 years ago. Backed by pine-covered hills, Olymbiada has a long beach mainly sandy (some pebbles), gently shelving and very safe stretching around the bay, with a fishing harbour to one end. Half-a- dozen seasonal tavernas plus a handful of cafés directly front the beach. Walk south over the headland below hilltop Stagira, and the beaches just get better and better! The first, almost below the ancient walls, is only a 5 minute walk. The area is heavily wooded and good for walking - one popular route is up to a waterfall (4 kms), although if you don't wish to walk the hotels organise weekly trips free of charge. Our Olymbiada hotels give advice and free maps for walkers. Mountain bikes are also offered free of charge and again advice and routes are freely given by the hotels. For those with a car it is a beautiful drive through the forest to the traditional village of Arnea. Horse riding can be arranged from the nearby village of Stavros. The whole village celebrates its main Saints Day on 7th July. Following a procession from the church, the annual shindig includes unlimited free local mussels and wine. Worth catching we think! The small town of Ouranoupolis is known as the gateway to Athos. It is a busy little place, where monks and priests mix with tourists, including pilgrims and walkers, and the souvenir shops are heavy on religious icons. There are plenty of tavernas and small ferryboats service the Athos monasteries, which men need a permit to visit (we can assist with this). The landmark Byzantine Tower is now a fascinating small museum. Wherever you stay on Athos we would highly recommend the cruise along the western Athos coastline to view the monasteries from the sea. These operate daily from Ouranoupolis, cost c. 25 and take around 4 hours. Kassandra Peninsula Afitos Transfer time 75 mins Kassandra is the western peninsula of Halkidiki and actually an island separated from the mainland by the Potidea Canal. It is the area closest to the airport and therefore the first to be developed for tourism, and it remains the most commercial. Like the rest of Halkidiki it is characterised by long stretches of white sandy beaches and rocky promontories covered with pine trees. Despite the tourist development, the beaches remain of exceptional quality, and many receive annual Blue Flag awards for their cleanliness and safety. There are good roads, well-maintained, and an efficient bus service, though to explore the region fully car hire is recommended. Afitos (also called Athytos) is the prettiest of Halkidiki's coastal villages and stands on an escarpment high above the sea towards the top of Kassandra's north east coast. The village is under strict building and planning restrictions, and has therefore retained its traditional character. Its narrow cobbled lanes and typical architecture make it by far the most attractive place to stay on Kassandra. Afitos has good facilities and wonderful views from its 'balcony' which looks over the gulf to Sithonia. The village has at least 10 restaurants, a good choice of cafes and small bars, colourful little shops, a traditional square, a lovely small church (Aghios Dimitrios), a bank with ATM and taxis. It is, however, a steep walk down to the sandy beach below. You will not be surprised to read that Afitos receives many visitors in the summer and is busy in the peak months. However the village's undoubted charm and character certainly make it our number one choice for a stay on Kassandra. Olymbiada Afitos 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk Greece & Cyprus 107

Greece Mainland Halkidiki Liotopi Hotel Olymbiada The charming Liotopi is a sisterhotel to the Akroyiali, well-run (by Loulou) and equally friendly. Set in a lush garden just 50m from the sea, opposite the small fishing harbour, you are only a minute s walk from the start of Olymbiada s long sandy beach. The hotel has only 16 pretty rooms on the first and top floor, a mix of doubles and twins. All possess air conditioning, TV, fridge, tiled shower room, and good-sized covered balcony with appealing views to the sea, garden or the wooded hills behind the village. A pair of garden rooms to the side (1 double, 1 twin) are quite private and share a delightful raised covered seating area. Rooms are individually furnished and attractively decorated in a simple, tasteful style. The colourful garden to the front has seating and shade, and here a very good breakfast with homemade jams and cakes is served. Dinner is taken at the Akroyiali restaurant just a minute s walk away. As applies to Akroyiali guests, those staying here have free use of sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach just 100m away. As also applies to the Akroyiali, we think it would be almost impossible not to thoroughly relax here. The Hotel: 2 Star Plus Half Board View from Liotopi Hotel Akroyiali Hotel Olymbiada Above the beach to the southern end of the village, the Akroyiali (also called Germany) represents all that is best in small Greek family-run hotels. Run by Dimitris and his family, the Akroyiali also has a good taverna restaurant. The hotel has only 17 rooms, all on the upper floors. Recently refurbished they are comfortably furnished in a light modern style, and all possess air conditioning, TV, fridge, tiled shower/wc and goodsized furnished balcony. Half enjoy lovely sea views, and we can confirm one of these rooms at no supplement if booked in good time. Some rooms can take a third bed for a child, and the hotel has a family room for 4. Directly in front is the fine sandy beach, where sun beds and umbrellas are provided free of charge to hotel guests. The Akroyiali, although simple, is a near perfect base for a completely untrammelled holiday where everything you actually come on holiday for is right on your doorstep. The Hotel: 2 Star Half Board View from Akroyiali Half Board menu Guests at the Akroyiali and Liotopi hotels stay on a half board basis, which includes an evening meal taken at the Akroyiali s decked restaurant area on the beach. We do not often recommend half board as, in our experience, Greek hotel kitchens rarely match the quality and choice of the local tavernas. The Akroyiali, however, is an exception. The food is home-cooked taverna fare, some of it organic (many of the vegetables and salad ingredients are home-grown without chemicals) and the choice generous. No set meals here. You will have a virtual free choice from the large and varied taverna menu, including a minimum of 10 starters or salads, 10-20 main dishes and 3 desserts (including fruit). Unusually, good vegetarian options and even some sea food and fish dishes are included (the area is known for its fresh mussels!) only the more expensive of these items carry a surcharge. Although typically no frills taverna fare, we believe the holiday prices here to be good value. If you have any dietary requirements please advise us at the time of booking.

Greece Mainland Halkidiki Miljes Apartments Olymbiada These excellent apartments are well-established and have the only swimming pool in the village. They are set in very quiet country surroundings a ten minute walk (800m) down the small lane from village centre and beach. Surrounded by beautifully mature gardens, there are six 1-bedroom apartments here, all on the ground floor bungalow-style (3 steps up). Each has a double bedroom, openplan living room with double sofabed (suitable for an adult or two younger children), kitchenette (note: the 3-ring mini-oven is located on the outside terrace), sat tv, safety deposit box and very nice, newly renovated shower room. To the front is a lovely wide spacious covered private terrace, shaded by shrubs and trees and cooled by a ceiling fan. Furnishings are simple and comfortable in a traditional style. All apartments have a fresh air circulation system (full air conditioning is not necessary here as the surrounding mountains and forests mean there is nearly always a cooling breeze at night). The colourful gardens are extensive and hide a 50 sq m freshwater pool well away from the apartments (depth 1.50m-2.20m) with sunbeds dotted around in shaded spots. There is an outdoor BBQ for guests use. The owners, Maria and Pavlos, cannot do enough for their guests and have built up a very loyal repeat clientele over the years, the best recommendation of all. This is a very beautiful natural spot, suitable for couples and families alike. The Apartments: Apartments for 2/4 Fresh Air Circulation System Swimming Pool Activities in Olymbiada Activities and advice offered free of charge at Akroyiali and Liotopi Hotels Botany The mountains of Stratoniko and Cholomontas surrounding Olympiada to the west and northwest are rich in flora. Access is on foot or by car. The hotels can provide guests with information on how to access the areas and on the various kinds of plants in the area. Bird Watching The mountains of Stratoniko and Cholomontas, the lake Volvi (approx 30 kms away), the lake Kerkini (approx 80 kms) and the wetlands of the Nestos River delta (approx 160 kms by fast motorway) have a huge variety of bird life and are on the main migratory routes. Access is by hire car. The hotels can provide guests with information on accessing the areas and on the various kinds of birds inhabiting the areas mentioned. Cycling Olympiada is ideal for bicycle lovers. The village is on the flat, there are easy cycle routes nearby on the plain, and a few more difficult ones up on the mountain. Mountain bikes are available free of charge to our hotel guests. There are no specific cycle paths but the hotels can provide information on possible routes around Olympiada. Walking There are many possible hiking routes and trails around Olympiada. Some new routes have recently been opened up, including the 26 km Aristotelian Trail which starts in Olymbiada, takes you up through the forested hills (under Natura 2000 protection) and ends at the inland village of Stageira. This walk (which of course does not have to be done all in one go if you have a car) and several shorter routes can be viewed on our website, from where you can download a useful Walking Guide. Shorter routes from Olymbiada are also possible, along the coastline on sand (around 4km, return) or a circular route around the plain surrounding Olympiada (map provided locally by the hotels). The hotels can provide further information locally of all the walks in the area. Visit the nearby waterfall This excursion is organised once a week. Access is by car (provided by the hotel) and then on foot, walking for about 500m. We would recommend this for people with relatively good fitness levels as the final part of the route can be a bit difficult. The hotels provide free transportation by car for up to 4 people. They also offer a picnic option for 6 Euros, which includes a glass of tsipouro (local firewater!), traditional bread, Halkidiki olives, local cheese, tomatoes and tradional halva as a sweet. Tour of Ancient Stagira Ancient Stagira, birthplace of Aristotle, is on a hill above the far end of the village The tour is organised once a week and includes walking to the area of Ancient Stagira and a tour, usually guided by the hotel s owner, Dimitris Sarris. Cooking with Loulou Loulou, Dimitri's sister who runs the Liotopi Hotel, is not only an excellent host, she is also a fine cook. Once a week (and on request) the guests can join her in cooking a traditional main dish and sweet - then enjoy the results! Olymbiada Festival The whole village celebrates its main Saints Day on 7th July. Following a procession from the church, the annual shindig includes unlimited free local mussels and wine. Worth catching we think! Photography Two pre-bookable photographic tours are available - Digital Photography for Beginners (or those who want to go back to basics) is a full day course and costs 81-114 pp (depending on numbers). Water and Light - Sunrise/Sunset Photography from the Sea is a 3-4 hour course and includes a boat trip - costs 99-144 pp. Please see our website for details. Bookings should be made for a Wednesday or Thursday. 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk Greece & Cyprus 109

Greece Mainland Halkidiki For more choice see www.sunvil.co.uk We have a selection of additional properties on Halkidiki available. Please see our website for details. Including: Skites Hotel Bed & Breakfast, Ouranoupolis Being just 1500m from the border with Mount Athos, we think some of the other-worldly atmosphere must have leaked from the Holy Mountain into this rather special hotel! Surrounded by a lush garden full of flowering shrubs and trees, the hotel's 25 rooms and bungalows blend in perfectly with their environment. The main building is furnished with antiques, icons and Orthodox pieces. To the front there is a well regarded terrace restaurant. Directly above the sea is the lawned pool area, low-key pool bar and decking where you can just sit and admire the views. For more information please see our website. White Suites Half Board, Afitos This stylish small hotel is directly above the beach. It engenders an exclusive and romantic atmosphere. The 14 rooms here are fronted by pretty gardens and designed and furnished in chic minimalist style. It is 45 steps down to the beautifully sandy beach, and the sea here is multihued shades of blue. Directly above the hotel has a very good restaurant, which has a reputation for its seafood. Afitos village is only a 10 minute walk away - but be warned, it is a steep 10 minutes! For more information please see our website. Blue Bay Hotel Bed & Breakfast, Afitos Built on the escarpment above the sea some 10-15 minutes walk to the south of pretty Afitos via a country lane, the Blue Bay is an attractively designed 3 Star hotel that offers a quiet stay with good views and facilities. The hotel has a restaurant, bar and a pool bar which also serves snacks. The Blue Bay offers good levels of modern comfort, fine views and is within an easy walk of Afitos. But it also enjoys quiet rural surroundings, away from the bustle of this popular village. The perfect location! For more information please see our website. Petrino Suites Bed & Breakfast, Afitos Set in acres of lush well tended gardens - a truly natural paradise - with a beautiful pool area at its heart and a well regarded restaurant on site, these 33 stonebuilt cottages are amongst the pick of Afitos accommodation. The Suites we offer are in effect small terraced cottages. The centrepiece of the hotel is its large beautiful swimming pool and a la carte restaurant. The hotel is 1 km from Afitos - a 15 minute walk - via a small lane and offers free transportation to its own sandy beach. For more information please see our website. Stay in a Mount Athos Monastery You do not have to be of the Orthodox (or indeed any) faith to visit Mount Athos and stay for a few nights in the monasteries - but you do need to be male! Whatever your reasons for wishing to visit, it will be a unique experience. The only restrictions are (other than gender): A maximum stay of 3 nights Each night stayed has to be at a different monastery However, applying for and getting the relevant permit, called a 'diamonitirion', plus booking your overnights, which has to be done separately with each monastery (there is no central reservations system quite yet!), can be time consuming and complicated. If you are booking a holiday to the area with Sunvil and wish to spend some nights during it at Athos, we can help. We need only a scanned copy of your passport and dates you wish to stay (these may need to be flexible). We will then make the necessary applications on your behalf. If you have any particular monastery in which you would like to stay we will try to accommodate that request. As Athos has a daily quota - only 10 non-orthodox a day are allowed in - we recommend booking as early as possible (but not more than 6 months before). There are no charges for staying on Athos, although the monasteries always appreciate a donation. However we make a 65 per person administration charge. For further information and an idea of local cost please see our website.

Greece Mainland Halkidiki Ammouliani Thessaloniki Moudania Polygiros Afitos KASSA NDRA Ammouliani Ouranoupolis To Alexandroupolis Kavala Stavros Olymbiada Arnea Stratonio SITHONIA AGION OROS (HOLY MOUNTAIN) A 40 minute drive to the south of Olymbiada, not far from the small town of Ouranoupoulis (known as the gateway to Mount Athos), followed by a 15 minute ferryboat ride, brings you to sweet little Ammouliani, Halkidiki's only island. Ammouliani measures just 4.5 sq kms. and has one village (pop 542 at the last count). Built on a small hill above the port, the village is one of the friendliest you could come across and should provide all you need for your stay. It has four taverna restaurants, a couple of pizzerias and cafe-bars, a number of surprisingly well stocked mini-markets, and even an ATM. But the jewel in Ammouliani's crown is its string of wonderful white-sand beaches shelving gently into calm sheltered aquamarine waters. You could be in the Caribbean! A car is not necessary as the island is so small and the beaches are all walkable (max. 3½-4 kms from the village) - most have sun beds and a taverna. However you can also reach the beaches by water taxi (seasonal) or hired motor boat - and don't forget to try the wonderful horsedrawn 'beach bus' which runs from the port to Alykes (cost 2 last year)! Of course Ammouliani is far from being a secret to the Greeks and the island receives plenty of visitors at weekends and in season. Contrastingly, out of the main season and the island can be very quiet, especially in May and from late September onwards when not all tavernas or beach facilities may operate. There is only one excursion possible from Ammouliani but it is not to be missed - the spectacular cruise along the western Athos coastline to view the historic monasteries from the sea. These depart daily from Ammouliani (via Ouranoupoulis - you will have a little time here to explore or visit the museum should you wish) and cost 25 euros per person last year. Ammouliani, beach bus Megali Ammos beach AMMOULIANI INFORMATION Getting to Ammouliani Daily flights Gatwick to Thessaloniki (regional flights available from MAN, EMA, LTN) - odd durations possible. Then 2 hours transfer to Tripiti port and 15 mins ferry to Ammouliani where you will be met and taken to your accommodation (5-10 mins. on foot - your luggage will be transferred separately). Please note, as we cannot pre-purchase ferry tickets on this route the ferry ticket is not included and to be purchased on board (cost 2.50 per person one way last year). On your return the reverse applies. There will probably be a short wait for the ferry on arrival but they run quite frequently in the summer months. Multi-Centre Options With any of our Halkidiki resort areas (note: Olymbiada or Ouranoupolis are the easiest and cheapest to combine with Ammouliani - Afitos has an expensive mid-holiday taxi transfer due to the distance involved). A few nights at the start or end of your holiday can be easily arranged in Thessaloniki see page 239. Representative We have a local agent based in Thessaloniki who can always be contacted but no representative in our Halkidiki resort areas. However, English is spoken at all our hotels, who are always happy to give local information and assistance. Stay in a Mount Athos Monastery For details of this unique opportunity if you are male! please see page 110 and our website.

Greece Mainland Halkidiki Kastalia Hotel Ammouliani Island This very sweet little hotel is run by the charming Sisi, a bustling helpful mine of information who cannot do enough for her guests. It is in a quiet location in a back street a short 3 minute walk up the small hill from the harbour. The 8 apartment-style rooms here are spacious and simply but attractively furnished. All possess twin or double beds, TV, AC, basic kitchenette (2 rings, fridge), shower room and good-sized covered balcony. To the rear of the hotel is a common seating area with tables, chairs and sofas, and here Sisi will serve a hearty breakfast with many homemade items and traditional Greek specialities. You could not stay in a more welcoming or friendly small hotel. Early Booking Offer Reductions apply for bookings made by 31/3. Please enquire or check online availability for details. The Hotel: 2 Stars Bed & Breakfast Ammouliani Village Dominici Hotel Ammouliani Island The fact that the owner is an interior designer is in evidence throughout this small, very pretty hotel. Casa Dominici (to give it its full title) enjoys a great location, just back from the old fishing harbour and sandy beach. The hotel has only 6 rooms on its upper two floors. Each one has a different style of furnishing and decor, but they are all lovely! All possess an iron-wrought double bedstead, TV, AC, fridge, mozzienetted windows and balcony doors, modern shower room (some with bath) and large balcony, those on the top floor having some sea or side-sea views. You can be on the beach in less than a minute. It is a 2-3 minute walk to the square at the top of the hill, and the same again down the other side to the centre and restaurants. Very high standards in a superb location. The Hotel: 2 Stars Bed & Breakfast Ammouliani beach below Dominici 112 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece Mainland Halkidiki Sunrise Hotel Ammouliani Island Quietly located above the sea, just a few minutes' walk from the harbour and the centre of the village, the Sunrise is one of the larger hotels here with 46 rooms housed in two buildings. Our rooms are the renovated Superior doubles on the upper two floors of the front building (stairs, no lift). They enjoy sea views to the side, and some also have views to distant Athos. The rooms are attractively furnished and double or twin-bedded - all have airconditioning, TV, mini-fridge, roomsafe, bath or shower, hairdryer and sea view balcony. On the ground floor the hotel has a lounge and snack bar. There is seating in the small garden bordering the hotel where (in season) breakfast can be taken. A path and steps lead down to a concreted lido area on the rocks below from where you can swim - handy for a quick dip but most here will want to head for one of Ammouliani's famed sandy beaches. The closest (in town) is a five minute walk. The hotel has a very warm, friendly atmosphere engendered by the hospitable owners, and attracts many repeat clients - always the best recommendation. Early Booking Offer Reductions apply for bookings made by 31/3. Please enquire or check online availability for a costing. The Hotel: 3 Stars Bed & Breakfast Alykes Beach Helianthus Hotel Ammouliani Island A 'Xenon' is a guesthouse, but this one took us by surprise when we saw the rooms, which are akin more to a 4 star city boutique hotel than a small guesthouse on Ammouliani. It is in the main square at the top of the hill. Apart from the odd cultural event, this is actually a quiet location as - bar one sleepy kafeneion - all the restaurants and cafes are down near the port. The 9 rooms are split between two buildings and are on two floors. They really offer top modern quality and facilities. Each has a double bed with Cocomat mattress and linen, flat-screen sat TV and home cinema system, DVD and CD player, Wifi, mini-fridge, central AC, hairdryer and very nice contemporary shower room with bathroom amenities. Balcony views are over the village, and some have partial sea views. The hotel has a cafe in the square where breakfast is taken. From here it is but a 2-3 minute walk down to the shops and restaurants in one direction, and the same again in the other to the sandy town beach.

Greece Mainland Peloponnese 114 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece Mainland Peloponnese Peloponnese The Peloponnese was named by Lonely Planet in 2016 as the the best place to visit in Europe with good reason because, whatever your interests, the Peloponnese offers huge scope for a holiday. You cannot do more than scratch the surface of this vast peninsula on one visit, which is why so many return. The southernmost part of mainland Greece, the Peloponnese is technically an island itself, separated from the mainland by the Corinth Canal. Surrounded by exceptionally clean, shimmering seas, the heavily indented and twisting coast contains glorious beaches that match those on any of the islands and mostly without the accompanying crowds. Inhabited since pre-history and rich in Mycenean, Classical and Byzantine sites, the Peloponnese is the birthplace of Greek mythology. The north of the peninsula contains the greatest concentration of ancient sites anywhere in Greece Corinth, Epidavros, Mycenae, Olympia and Tyrins, amidst a host of smaller sites that seem to be just part of the landscape. In the north-east, the excellent beach at Tolon provides the perfect base from which to explore these historic glories. Olympia Pylos Methoni The south has fewer sites notably Byzantine Mystras and the impressive remains at ancient Messini but also has fewer visitors, and so its gentle rolling hills, seaside hamlets and uncrowded beaches have retained much of their traditional qualities. Called the Garden of the Peloponnese, the south west remains devoted primarily to agriculture and fishing, with tourism having an impact in only a few areas, and this primarily limited to high season weeks. Otherwise, resort villages like Chrani and Finikounda go about their daily business in a friendly, unhurried manner. Down the spine of the central peninsula of the Mani rises the north-south mountain range of Taygetus. It towers over coastal Kalamata to the west and central Sparti to the east. Halfway down Mani s rugged western coastline, pretty Patras Tripolis Delphi Mystras Kalamata Sparta Chrani Kardamili Stoupa Gythion Finikounda Aghios Nikolaos Itilon Dirou Gerolimenas Caves Loutraki Corinth Mycenae Epidavros Nafplion Tolon Monemvasia ATHENS Kardamili and family-friendly Stoupa are ideally located for further exploration. Gradually, the lush greenery of the north is taken over by a harsh, arid, almost lunar landscape. Here you find a traditional, virtually untouched region know by the haunting title of deep Mani that offers spectacular views to the hiker and those who prefer off the beaten track. The peninsula is large and varied enough to cater for multiple interests: a quiet, relaxing time by superlative beaches; an exploration of the mass of ancient sites that are concentrated in the Peloponnese; Byzantine churches, hidden painted chapels and Frankish castles; hiking trails with stunning views; an island rock fortress at Monemvasia, edging against the sea; even a cave system at Dirou that is navigated by means of gondola-like craft. Similarly you can relax entirely by a beach and take excursions, or hire a car and really get to grips with the rich diversity of the peninsula there just seems so much to see that it feels almost neglectful to miss the opportunity. A twin-centre holiday makes the diversity even more accessible. Stoupa Peloponnese Information Getting to the Peloponnese Sunday flight Gatwick, Birmingham or Manchester to Kalamata. Then by coach or taxi see resort description pages. For flight details see page 270. We can also arrange tailor-made holidays via Kalamata or Athens - please enquire. Multi-Centre Options Any resort with any other. A week in the north (Tolon or Nafplion) combined with a week in the outh is always popular please book the north first. For multi-centre information see page 8. Car & Motorboat Hire See pages 268-9 for details. Representatives Based in Chrani, Stoupa and Tolon.

Greece Mainland South Peloponnese Our chosen areas Messinia Chrani Transfer time 45 minutes Chrani is a quiet seaside hamlet with a long uncrowded beach and memorable views across the gulf to the mountainous Mani opposite. Halfway down the inner side of the fertile, rolling Messinian peninsular, it is a good base from which to explore. Medieval Koroni, its vast fortifications still intact, lies some 12 kms to the south; whilst to the north a string of seaside villages the largest being bustling (by comparison!) Petalidi 6 kms distant means there is plenty of variety within a short bus or taxi ride. Up to 6 buses daily run between Koroni and Kalamata. Chrani comprises two mini-markets, a pair of local cafés, a low-key garden bar and half a dozen good tavernas. Some offer free Wi-FI. It has a lovely shingle/sand beach which stretches for half a mile and has three beachbars towards its northern end. All around are trees, shrubs and flowers: it remains green here even in high summer. There is a reasonably good bus service between Kalamata and Koroni running through Chrani up to 7 times daily, but to make the most of the area car hire is a good idea. Koroni, Finikounda, Methoni and Pylos are all within an easy drive, as are some truly stunning (oft deserted) beaches. Finikounda Transfer time 90 minutes Blessed with superb beaches, Finikounda is the prettiest seaside village of the Messinian peninsula. Being at the southern tip it is also the most remote, although can be busy for the short high season period. The three golden, uncrowded beaches here are of coarse sand (with some fine shingle outcrops) and shelve into a turquoise sea. In season some dozen good tavernas, known for their fresh fish, offer good dining choice and there are a number of small village shops, cafés and bars. Some nightlife there is, especially in peak, but for most of the year the village is low-key and relaxed. A popular boat trip ran last year to Methoni and various off-shore islands, as well as to lovely Marathi beach which is only accessible from the sea. Buses run west to Methoni and Pylos and there are a couple of taxis but for further exploration car hire is recommended. A booklet of walks in the area is available locally. For a beach-orientated holiday in what is still an unspoiled area, Finikounda is hard to beat. Pylos, Gialova & Methoni Transfer time 60 minutes Pylos is an historic and stylish small town at the top of the Messinian peninsular on its western side. It has one of the best natural harbours in Greece Navarino Bay, site of the famous Turkish defeat in 1827. Some 16 kms to the north is Homeric Nestor s Palace, artifacts from which can be viewed in the local museum. For some fine sandy beaches head to nearby Gialova and beyond the best is superb Voidokilia a 15 minute drive away. For such a small place Gialova has a huge choice of tavernas, a number of quite smart café-bars as well as a mini-market. The whole area is now a nature reserve noted for its bird life and unique species of chameleon. Bicycle hire is a good way to get around as the area is largely flat. The neighbouring small town of Methoni at the south western tip is dominated by its impressive fortress stretching into the sea. Evidence of past visitors includes the remnants of a Venetian cathedral and a Turkish bath within the castle walls. Al fresco dining, Gialova (who s Al Fresco?)

Greece Mainland South Peloponnese Mani Kardamili Transfer time 60 minutes Designated as a village of special beauty, Kardamili is in the upper (outer) part of the central Mani peninsula. It is an upmarket little place of great appeal to writers, artists, walkers and nature-lovers. With the peaks of the Taygetos range behind and a Blue Flag sea to the front, Kardamili occupies a privileged spot on this spectacular stretch of coastline. Either side of the road through the village (which can be busy in August) Kardamili has some seven or eight good restaurants, several bars/cafés, and a number of small shops. It has its share of tower houses, now deserted just walk for 5 minutes up the dry riverbed to Old Kardamili behind. To the north there is a long pebble beach called Ritsa. Otherwise you can swim from the rocks or from purpose-built quays in a very clean sea. There are plenty of walks, the best being through the Viros Gorge; a spectacular 4-5 hour nature trail with a couple of monasteries en route. A range of excursions operate but for more independent exploration we would recommend car hire as the bus service is limited. Kardamili was home for 50 years to the famous British travel writer and war hero Patrick Leigh Fermor - his 1958 book Mani: Travel in the Southern Peloponnese is still an essential read today - and visits to his wonderful house by the sea can be arranged via the Benaki Museum (email plfproject@benaki.gr). Stoupa & Aghios Nikolaos Transfer time 75-90 minutes The delightful village of Stoupa lies just over an hour's drive south from Kalamata and is the closest thing the Mani has to a small resort, thanks to its two beautiful, sandy beaches, Kalogria and Stoupa. The setting is complemented with a backdrop of olive covered hills and the magnificent Taygetos mountains, making for a truly stunning location with all the facilities for a relaxed holiday. You should not be surprised to read that Stoupa holds particular appeal for couples of all ages and younger families. Despite Stoupa's popularity (the beaches do get busy in season) it remains low key, evening entertainment here still centred around a wide variety of good quality tavernas. Facilities include several supermarkets, a good bakery and ATMs. A range of interesting excursions last year included Olympia, Mystras and the spectacular Dirou Caves, and small bicycles, pedalos and motorboats can be hired. There is a lovely footpath above the sea which leads you to neighbouring Aghios Nikolaos in about an hour. Aghios Nikolaos is the archetypal sleepy Greek fishing village, and the cafés and restaurants above the exquisite small harbour here are the perfect place from which to watch the boats come and go. Pantazi beach is a 15 minute walk to the south, its wide stretch of sand/shingle shaded by trees. The whole area is excellent for walking so we are pleased to offer our clients a free walking guide (on request - just call or email with your booking number). This has been kindly compiled by previous guests and details 15 walks from Stoupa and Aghios Nikolaos ranging from 25 mins. to 2 hrs 15 mins. It was last revised in 2005 so may be a little out of date in parts - any updates gratefully received! Deep Mani & Gerolimenas 2-2½ hours drive from Kalamata An hour's drive south from Stoupa and Aghios Nikolaos and you are in deep (inner) Mani. Here the landscape changes from lush and fertile to arid and lunar. The change is dramatic - almost as though a border has been crossed - but the landscape has a mesmerising beauty. Here the mountains seem to loom even larger. This is the land of the tower houses - built to defend the occupants not only from pirate invaders but also their own neighbours due to generational feuding! Combined with the harsh rocky terrain, with high mountains as far as you can see to one side and the deep blue of the sea to the other, and you will see why deep Mani is one of the most hauntingly beautiful, distinctive and atmospheric regions in all Greece. Just 8 kms to the south of Areopolis, the regional centre, is the Mani's greatest attraction. No one should visit the region without exploring the vast underground lakes and caves found at Pirgos Diros. Crammed with stalactites and stalagmites, the caves are said to be 400 million years old and amongst the finest in Europe. You are guided through them by poled boat. From here it is a short 20 minute drive to the tiny fishing village of Gerolimenas, which has a pebble beach, a handful of waterside tavernas and one of the most atmospheric hotels in the entire south. The road continues south, past the much photographed 'tower house village' of Vathia, and then loops up the eastern coast and back over to Areopolis, enabling a Deep Mani circuit to be easily completed. Kalogria Beach, Stoupa Lakonia Monemvasia 3 hours drive from Kalamata The vast fortified rock of Monemvasia, with sea to three sides and reached only by a narrow causeway, is one of the major attractions of the Greek mainland. Sometimes called 'the Gibraltar of the East' (for obvious reasons), this remarkably preserved medieval town should not be missed. Monemvasia is about a third of the way down the east coast of third 'finger' of the Peloponnese. Founded in the 6th century the town was the commercial port of Byzantine Mystras and soon thickly fortified (its very name means 'single entrance'). Only ever breached by siege, Monemvasia was subsequently occupied by Crusaders, Franks, Venetians and Turks, all of whom have left evident traces. Within the castle's walls many of the crumbling buildings are now restored and you will find an excellent choice of atmospheric restaurants and cafes. Beaches here are adequate but no more. But for some of the most beautiful sandy beaches in the entire south-east head to the off-shore islet of Elafonissos, a 45 minute drive to the peninsula's west coast followed by a short hop on one of the frequent ferries. Monemvasia is remote and our holidays here include a car. Our featured hotel, the Kinsterna 6 kms to the south, is upmarket and very special. If you do not want to drive straight off the plane we will arrange your first night in Kalamata. We can also arrange short stays and have access to a range of small hotels within the city walls should you prefer. Gerolimenas Monemvasia 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk Greece & Cyprus 117

Greece Mainland South Peloponnese Costa Navarino - Westin Resort near Gialova We rarely feature resort-style hotels but were highly impressed with the Westin. Firstly it is in a wonderful area. We have always loved the Peloponnese, and this corner of south west Messinia has long been a favourite (our Villa Zoe is just down the road). Secondly the hotel has been built with sustainability as a watchword, respect for its environment and local culture and have a philosophy of encouraging their guests to interact with both. And thirdly the range of facilities and sheer number of things to do away from the pool and beach here is impressive. Westin Resort spreads over hundreds of acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and water features - with care taken to plant indigenous species. The acreage is so great that it is a surprise to learn that there are 445 rooms and suites here (many with a private pool). We will not go into great detail about the rooms - there are many types to choose from - except to say that they have all the mod cons, comfort and style one should expect from a modern luxury resort hotel. There is a number of pools to choose from, an award winning spa, eight restaurants in addition to the main buffet restaurant, a number of cafes and bars, an open air cinema and amphitheatre. The more active can play tennis or golf (lessons available) on one of the two signature 18 hole courses here, rent a bike (the area is great for cycling - perhaps the 10 kms to Gialova for lunch, a little longer via the famous beach of Voidakilia and the wetlands nature reserve), try non motorized water sports or scuba diving, use the gym, go for a walk or an organised run on one of the many trails around the area, have a go on the climbing wall... the list goes on. Local culture is explored with traditional workshops including cooking, and with a car you can explore nearby Nestor's palace, the site of ancient Messini, the historical town of Pylos, even ancient Olympia. The hotel has many activities for children via its clubs for infants, toddlers and children up to 12, including a mini-water park and an interactive museum showcasing the area's flora and fauna, and is understandably popular with families in season. If all this gets too much then head for the pristine Navarino Dunes beach below that stretches for several kilometres. Whether you want a chill-out holiday or lots to do in a beautiful natural setting and considerable comfort then the Westin can accommodate it. Please note: Wifi is free of charge in the main building lobby but is charged for elsewhere and inroom. Activities described above are at an extra cost and paid locally. Not all facilities/restaurants may be open in low seasons. The Westin's sister-hotel, the Romanos, is next door and its upscale villas here are featured by our associate company GIC the Villa Collection.

Greece Mainland South Peloponnese Villa Zoe Hotel Gialova This family-run hotel is at the small seaside resort of Gialova, 6 kms north of the historic town of Pylos and only a kilometre from the edge of a nature reserve known for its birdlife. It enjoys a quiet location just across a cul-de-sac from the long sandy beach here. Flowers, trees and shrubs add colour and shade and meals can be taken under the palms.

Yoga classes take place outside the high season months and the hotel also has a fitness room. It is a 2-3 minute walk (200m) down the hill to the beach and centre of the village. As the hotel has a fair number of steps (and no lift) we can request rooms towards the lower level, which has a separate entrance from the street just 80m from the beach. The Estia has been highly praised by our clients for its comfort, service and customer care. Highly recommended. The Hotel: 3 Stars Studios & Apartments for 2/4 & ADSL internet connection Fotis Apartments Finikounda Fotis Apartments are set in a quiet residential side street just a two minute walk (slightly uphill but nothing very steep) from the beautiful sandy beach and five minutes from the centre of this pretty village.

Greece Mainland South Peloponnese Sophia Apartments Chrani Sophia has long been one of our most popular properties, as it offers plenty of space and, being built directly above the sea, good views from its generous balconies (some across the gulf to the mountains of Mani beyond).

Each is air conditioned and open-plan, comprising a double bedroom, an archway leading through to the living room containing TV (BBC World), a sofabed for a child and a kitchen area (cooking rings), a tiled shower room with wc, and a good-sized front terrace.

It is only a ten minute walk to Chrani s selection of restaurants and small shops, either along the beach or via the main road which runs just behind the cottages, but take a torch for late night returns. The cottages are very well kept, as are the lawns and gardens.

Greece Mainland South Peloponnese Messinia Villas Chrani Area Messinia Villas Villa Eleni The Messinia Villas are set in nearly 7 acres of mature gardens, trees and luxuriant vegetation on a hillside between the small seaside villages of Petalidi and Chrani (a max. 10 minute drive from each). Their commanding position ensures quite wonderful views across the Gulf of Messini to the mountains of Mani opposite. The nearest good beach, also called Kalamaki, is only a mile distant and has a well liked taverna on it. Each villa has a private 10m x 5m (depth 0.90m-2.30m) freshwater swimming pool to the front with furnished terrace surrounds and is surrounded by delightfully mature gardens containing palm, olive, pine, carob, orange and lemon trees. Although we would not describe them as deluxe, the villas are comfortably furnished, spacious, light and airy with generous covered terrace space from which to admire the views (and the most beautiful sunrise over Mani if you are up at that time!). The design and landscaped screening keeps each villa private. Here, with a car included (each villa has private parking) you have the chance to explore a fascinating and unspoiled area, yet stay in accommodation of a type still not so common in this part of Greece, and we believe very well priced. All villas have free WiFi (fair usage policy applies) and BBQ s, DVD and CD players can be supplied on request locally (free of charge). Please note: Cleaning and linen/towel change is twice weekly.

Greece Mainland South Peloponnese Elies Kardamili This is a very special place. 'Elies' means olive tree and this collection of 18 stone-built cottages, housing 23 immaculate studios and apartments, is tucked away in an olive grove at the far end of Kardamili's white-pebble beach. These properties are beautifully designed to offer a high level of comfort in natural and peaceful surroundings a stone's throw from the sea. Interiors are of a contemporary, almost Scandinavian, design. They are tasteful, comfortable, stylish and of top quality. Attention to detail is not normally a Greek strength but it shows here! A mix of studios for couples, perhaps with a child, and 1-bedroom apartments or maisonettes for up to four, all have twin or double bed, kitchen with hotplates and fridge, air-conditioning, shower room, sat tv and a balcony or terrace - sea views are to be had from the maisonettes which have a ground floor living room and top floor bedroom with balcony off. Elies has its own (excellent) restaurant under the trees to the front (open for lunch all season and also in the evenings from around mid-june to mid-september) and Stavros and Fani are happy to arrange breakfast or meals delivered to your room if you pre-order. The sea at Kardamili is renowned for its clarity and quality. Beach towels are provided and guests have their own sun bed reserved. It is a delightful stroll along the small beach road by the sea to the village about a kilometre away, where you will find a wide choice of cafes, restaurants and a couple of minimarkets. Elies may be a little more expensive than most but for such exceptional accommodation, service and ambience it is actually very good value. We really cannot emphasise enough the quality you will find here.

Greece Mainland South Peloponnese Kyrimai Hotel Gerolimenas You could not get more 'away from it all' than a stay at the Kyrimai. At just about the far southern tip of Mani, this intimate and remote small luxury hotel has style and comfort in spades, and all in the most atmospheric surroundings. The hotel is at the edge of the tiny fishing village of Gerolimenas. Lovingly converted from a 19th century warehouse, with the sea to the front and side, the wild and rugged inner Mani landscape adds to the unique ambience here. The 22 double-bedded rooms and suites are of various types and sizes. With Maniot stone walls, wooden ceilings and decor in warm earth colours, a tasteful mix of modern and antique furniture and top quality bedding, all rooms offer romance and comfort in equal measure. Some have sea views, others courtyard views, and some are split-level with a living area down and a sleeping area above. Balconies are limited to the higher category suites. We would recommend the twolevel ('loft') superior sea view which has great views over the pool to the sea or the two-level Suite, which has two balconies (one village view, one sea view), two bathrooms and can sleep up to 4. Public areas include the decked pool, upmarket restaurant and jetty with sun-loungers and ladders into the cleanest sea you could imagine. Gerolimenas remains a backwater and sleepy as they come. Fishing boats ply their trade, selling to the handful of fine tavernas here, and has a clean shingle beach. It is an excellent base from which to explore southern Mani. Early Booking Offers Reductions are given for bookings made by 28/2. Please note that full payment of the hotel cost must be paid at the time of booking for the offer to apply (non-refundable).

The hotel possesses 27 luxurious rooms and suites, blending contemporary design with period features. All possess the facilities one should expect, inlcuding top quality queen or king-size beds. Many have sea views (some to Monemvasia Rock) but not all have balcony due to the historic nature of the building. The hotel also has 9 deluxe Residences. All possess large private verandas with loungers and sea views. They are the ultimate in modern Greek luxury hotel accommodation! Further details and prices on request. The centre-piece of the hotel is the ancient cistern, now a wonderful spot for a drink or meal from the hotel's gourmet restaurant. The imaginatively designed river-like swimming pool is fed by spring water. Snacks and drinks are served on the pool terraces. If all this gets too exhausting the hotel's spa offers a range of treatments. Monemvasia and a choice of beaches are within a 10-15 minute drive. But for Caribbean-like sands head southeast for the islet of Elafonissos - ferries run very regularly and cheaply, and take just ten minutes.

Greece Mainland North Peloponnese Tolon & Nafplion We have featured Tolon every year since the early days of our Greece programme (1976!), and seen the village grow into a thriving small resort with a very wide appeal. We are not surprised beach apart, the sheer range of things you can see and do from here is enormous. We would recommend Tolon in particular to families, parties of mixed ages or interests, first time visitors to Greece, and anyone with even a passing interest in history and archaeology. One thing we can promise is that you will not get bored! Built around the curve of a sheltered bay, Tolon has a very long sandy beach - narrow at the village end, widening out as you walk around the bay - which has been awarded a coveted Blue Flag (2016). Water sports are available, small motorboats can be rented, and two pretty islets await exploration a short pedalo ride across the bay. A tempting array of cafés and small restaurants lines the beach there are more in the village, as well as a sprinkling of bars. Pylos Methoni Tolon lies in the heart of the Argolid, the north-eastern corner of the Peloponnese. All about is evidence of a turbulent and fascinating past. This was the arena of city states, whose battles are now legend. From Tolon it is easy to visit ancient Mycenae, Argos, Tyrins, Corinth and the impressive amphitheatre of Epidavros (classical plays performed here during June, July and August our local representative can arrange transportation). All are accessible by organised excursion, hire car or local bus, as is Athens. Boat excursions run regularly to the Saronic isles of Hydra and Spetses. A ten minute walk over the headland is ancient Assini, from where a fleet was launched against Troy. There can be few, if any, Homeric sites which you can explore, then swim from the beach below followed by a lazy taverna lunch overlooking the bay! Patras Olympia Tripolis Delphi Mystras Kalamata Sparta Chrani Kardamili Stoupa Gythion Finikounda Itilon Dirou Caves Loutraki Corinth Mycenae Epidavros Nafplion Tolon Monemvasia ATHENS The site has recently had major EU funding and is a must-see visit our website for further details. Although busy at weekends and in the high season, largely with Athenians, Tolon has retained its charm and friendliness. A 25 minute bus ride (buses hourly) takes you to elegant Nafplion. Largely Venetian it is topped by massive fortifications (1,000 steps up!) and adjudged one of the most handsome towns in Greece. Nafplion was the first capital of the modern nation and the narrow lanes of the old town, its mix of Venetian, Turkish and neoclassical architecture, the busy waterfront, the shaded squares and the many fine tavernas, make this historic town a magnet for Greek and foreign visitors alike. TOLON & NAFPLION INFORMATION Getting to Tolon & Nafplion Sunday flight Gatwick, Manchester or Birmingham to Kalamata. Then 2 hours by coach or shared taxi. For flight details see page 270. We can also arrange odd durations and tailor-made holidays with taxi transfers or car from Kalamata or Athens airport. Multi-Centre Options Can combine with any South Peloponnese resort. Tolon should be booked as the first centre. For multicentre information see page 8. Child Care There is a qualified child-minder available at reasonable rates who can be booked via our local representative. Car & Motorboat Hire See pages 268-9 for details.

Decor has been refreshed and new equipment, fixtures and fittings installed, along with some new furniture. Lido is our main accommodation in Tolon.

Greece Mainland North Peloponnese Hotel Romvi Tolon The Romvi occupies a prime beachfront position at the old village end of Tolon, a short walk from the harbour, high street, and cafés and tavernas. It is a typically Greek small and friendly hotel. The hotel comprises only 14 rooms on its upper two floors (note, no lift). Most are twin-bedded (there is one double on the middle floor) and some can take an extra bed for a child. Sunvil's rooms are directly above the sea and each has a good-sized private balcony terrace from which to enjoy the gorgeous views over the bay and off-shore islands. All ours possess a modernised shower room (2012), individual airconditioning, a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. They have simple décor and furnishing.

The large covered terrace downstairs houses a good restaurant (try the fish soup!). The terrace provides a welcome escape from the heat of the day where you can enjoy a drink or an ice-cream in the shade. The hotel provides sun beds and umbrellas free of charge on the beach for its guests. The warm atmosphere, wonderful views, home cooking and excellent location draw many guests back to this charming little hotel year after year. Air-conditioning: available at a local charge of 6 euros per day. Family Suite Note: breakfast is included - however Early Booking Offers do not apply to this unit. Early Booking Offer Up to 100 off per sea view double room per week (max discount 200) for bookings made by 31/1 (excludes 1 week departures 28/5). Conditions apply - see page 267. The Hotel: 2 Stars Sea View Rooms for 2/3 (Room Only) Family Suite for up to 5 (BB) Romvi al fresco dining Hotel Minoa Tolon Right on the sea, with a small beach to one side and close to Tolon s fishing harbour, is the Minoa Hotel. Long established, it has built up an excellent reputation and the family who run it ensure a friendly atmosphere. All 44 rooms have been nicely updated and possess bright, modern decor, AC, sat TV, minifridge, safety deposit box, hairdryer, bathroom with bath or shower, and balcony - front rooms have lovely views to Romvi island opposite. Some front and rear rooms can interconnect, perfect for families. There are three superb Minoa Suites on the third floor.

Sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach here are free of charge to hotel guests. Guests may also use the swimming pool of its sister hotel, the King Minos a 5 minute (but steep) walk away. The Minoa offers not only an excellent location, perhaps the best in the village, but a standard of comfort and facilities above its official category and in our opinion is one of the best run and most comfortable hotels in Tolon. Due to its location, ramp access for wheelchair users and lift we consider the Minoa to be a good choice for those of limited mobility.

However the hotel does have a private parking area to one side, above the steepest part. The hotel offers 57 large rooms of various types and contemporary tasteful décor. All have a hydromassage shower or a bath (some jacuzzi) with standard shower attachment, satellite tv, airconditioning, hairdryer, safety deposit box, iron/ironing board and minibar.

Greece Mainland North Peloponnese Latini Hotel Nafplion The historic small town of Nafplion, recognised as one of the most beautiful in mainland Greece, has become increasingly fashionable in recent years. So we are pleased to offer the Latini, which combines a prime location in the old town with comfort and character, and provides good value for Nafplion. Sympathetically renovated from an old townhouse, the Latini is just one street back from the harbour, where there is free parking. It overlooks a small square and is next door to a lovely Venetian church. Within a minute or two's walk you will find a wide choice of shops, restaurants and cafes. The eight double rooms on the first and second floors are for couples only and accessed by a narrow staircase (please note there is no lift). All have been nicely modernised and individually decorated in an attractive light fresh style.

A pair of interconnecting rooms offers good value for 3 adults or a family with two smaller children please enquire. The third (top) floor houses the suite. Under the angled wooden ceiling, this cosy and very private unit is light, spacious and open plan. It has twin beds (can be a double), a sitting area with two sofa-beds for children, a full bathroom and an open roof balcony with sea and old town views.

Greece Mainland The Pelion The Pelion Little wonder that the ancient gods chose the Pelion home of the Centaurs (Kentavros) as the place for their weddings and celebrations; for here is a near-perfect synthesis of mountain, forest and sea. Portaria VOLOS SKOPELOS HYDROFOIL TO & ALONISSOS Pagassitikos Gulf SKIATHOS, Mt Pelion 1600 m Horefto Agios Ioannis Damouchari Tsangarada Vizitsa Kala Nera Afissos Lefokastro Argalasti Kalamos Horto Katigiorgis Milina Lafkos Platanias Fresh and green year-round, the peninsula is dominated by mountains reaching a height of some 1600 metres and covered with pine, oak, fir, plane and chestnut. Views are dramatic, particularly on the northeast where mountains plunge dizzily to the sea. The western side is gentler its hills covered with olive trees and shrubs yet still remarkably attractive. Pelion s preserved mountain villages are a joy. Clinging to wooded slopes high above the sea, they share a unique architectural tradition and are amongst the most beautiful in Greece. The old stone-built mansions, with their grey slate roofs and overhanging balconies, blend with their surroundings. Often the only sounds are a babbling brook or birdsong. Everywhere are trees, shrubs, plants and flowers. The coastline hides some excellent beaches, often of a coarse sand/fine shingle which makes for excellent swimming in clear water. Foreign tourism is still fairly undeveloped, and the small seaside villages quiet for most of the year, busy over weekends and local holiday periods remain reassuringly Greek! Because Pelion is still pretty virgin territory it does not have the touristic infrastructure of more established areas. Money exchange and ATMs can be hard to find away from Volos (so take a good supply of Euros with you); the bus service limited and English not universally spoken. Excursions are also limited and run only subject to numbers from Kala Nera and Afissos. With all this in mind we would strongly recommended you pre-book a car, especially for those choosing to stay in the smaller, more remote villages (i.e. those other than Kala Nera and Afissos). If you don t mind some very winding roads, it would be a pity not to discover the whole of Pelion. Even Meteora and Delphi are within reach. A visit to Pelion will refresh the palate of even the most frequent Greek traveller. It did ours, and that takes some doing! PELION INFORMATION Getting to Pelion Friday Day flight Gatwick to Volos or Manchester to Skiathos with 30 min water-taxi transfer to Platanias (prices on request). Then 1½ 2½ hrs by coach or taxi (Manchester pax 30-60 mins) see resort pages. For flight details see page 267. Multi-Centre Options All areas can combine. For multi-centre details see page 8. Car Hire See pages 268-9 for details. Representative Based in Kala Nera will visit all areas except NE Pelion (on request). Walking in the Pelion Thickly forested and criss-crossed by stone-paved mule tracks, Pelion is a walker s paradise. For western Pelion, two previous guests have written a Walking Guide for the benefit of fellow Sunvil guests. It details 7 walks, ranging from 50 mins to 2 hours (one way). If you would like a copy please contact us quoting your Sunvil booking reference number. Kastri Beach, Southeast Pelion 142 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece Mainland The Pelion Our chosen areas Western Pelion Kala Nera, Afissos, Lefokastro, Horto & Milina Transfer time 1½-2½ hours from Volos The western side of the Pelion has lovely views (and gorgeous sunsets) over the Pagasitic Gulf to the mountains of the mainland. Although heavily wooded, like all Pelion, the west is more typically Mediterranean: here olive and cypress predominate over oak and chestnut. Although the name Kala Nera ('Good Waters') originally referred to the many springs in the area, it could equally apply to the sea here. Directly on the gulf some 18 kms to the south of Volos, the village has lush wooded surrounds and backs a gently shelving sand/shingle beach which has a Blue Flag. Kala Nera's long tree-lined promenade shades an array of restaurants and cafes, perfect spots from which to admire the sunsets here for which the area is famed. It is also not far from the start of the very scenic heritage railway which runs at weekends from Ano Lehonia up the mountain to the gorgeously traditional village of Milies. As everywhere in Pelion there are good walking opportunities - perhaps along the coast to the beach at Boufa. Kala Nera is a relaxed seaside village with a very Greek atmosphere, a good choice of authentic restaurants and small shops, with some life to it (in a 'bustling taverna' kind of way), especially in season. Afissos is a small, quite smart little resort village and popular with local Greeks from Volos at weekends as it boasts three good beaches. It is said that Jason called in here for freshwater supplies before setting sail on his epic journey. The village has a small fishing harbour at its entrance. Its long seafront is where most of the dozen restaurants are to be found, along with a few cafés, mini-markets and bakery. At its heart is a shady central square with attendant church. Gently shelving beaches lie to either side, a mix of shingle and coarse sand, which get very busy at weekends and in Greek holiday periods - there are several beach clubs, each of which offers free sun beds to its patrons. Both Afissos and Kala Nera have a reasonable bus service to Volos. Last year excursions ran around the Pelion by coach, and there was also a popular 'around the gulf' boat trip. An hour s beautiful walk (or a ten minute drive) south along the narrow country lanes through the olive groves brings you to Lefokastro. This seaside hamlet is pretty as a postcard a delightfully tranquil wooded bay, with a ribbon of houses fronting the water and a safe fine-shingle beach. Last summer a pair of local tavernas operated, joined by a third in high season. Lefokastro offers an authentically Greek away from it all holiday in unspoilt green surroundings, with good swimming and fewer visitors. The countryside is hilly and full of olive trees, so offers fine walking (gentler than in the east). Horto is also very small and quiet for much of the year. The hamlet has just three tavernas, two little beaches and a quirky local shop but does possess an authentically sleepy Greek charm Milina further to the south is larger (not difficult!), albeit still pretty and quiet. The village enjoys fine views over a crystalline sea to the small islets of Alatas and Prasouda, each of which is home to an old (now deserted) monastery. Milina's long promenade above the sea is lined with a good choice of tavernas and cafes, and the village has a number of small shops. Narrow shingle beaches lie to either side. There is a bus service to Volos (up to 5 times daily in season), and a car will enable a visit to Trikeri island (known for its fish tavernas) just off Pelion's southern tip, as well as a thorough exploration of the beautiful south, which hides some truly spectacular beaches on its eastern side. North-East Pelion Tsangarada Transfer time 2-2½ hours from Volos Eastern Pelion is unspoiled, little-known and supremely beautiful. The north is so thickly forested, and so steep, that, were it not for the glistening Aegean below, it could be a cross between an ancient British woodland and the Alps! The beaches are stunning glistening white-pebble in the north, gloriously sandy in the south and the swimming lovely in a clean open sea, but this can be lively, so the more sheltered western Pelion may be better for children or non-swimmers. High above the sea, the large village of Tsangarada spreads itself along the mountainside. The village has a good choice of traditional restaurants and small shops selling local herbs and honey. Walking trails, often using the 'calderimia' (donkey paths), lead to other equally lovely villages, of which there are many. Below, reached by a twisting road, is the beach of Milopotamos. Famed for its impressive main square, home to the inevitable old church and an enormous plane tree (reputedly 1,000 years old!), Tsangarada's mix of mountain, forest, beautiful old buildings and vistas to the deep blue sea far below epitomises what a visit to north-eastern Pelion is all about. South Pelion Katigiorgis & Lafkos Drive time 2-2½ hours from Volos The wooded hills of the south-eastern corner of Pelion are less steep than the more mountainous north and the area more sparsely populated. The distance from Volos means it lessens the Greek holiday crowds who would otherwise flock to the beautiful sandy beaches and coves here (undoubtedly amongst the peninsula s loveliest), although day-trippers may visit from Skiathos for a few hours by excursion boat. The pick of the places to stay is the small seaside hamlet of Katigiorgis. We have heard it called Kati-gorgeous as it is so pretty! Comprising simply a compact but delightfully sandy beach facing Skiathos the bay enclosed by rocky arms sheltering the village fishing boats and a cluster of houses, its two tavernas are known for fresh fish. There is also a café with WiFi and a minimarket all you should need for a complete escape. Some fine beaches lie in either direction, ranging from tiny coves to longer stretches of sand, and can be found on foot (walkers only). A car is included in our holidays here and enables you to discover more wonderful beaches to the north and south. Inland, the pretty hill village of Lafkos, has a lovely traditional main square and you will find five village tavernas, as well as a traditional cheese maker, a sculpture gallery and (weirdly) a radio museum! It is a wonderful base for walking - many local stone paths start from here - and we would urge walkers to visit the excellent website by Friends of the Kalderimi. The nearest beaches are a 10 minute drive away to the west near Milina - however a very wide choice of some truly fabulous sandy beaches can be found within a 20-30 minute drive.

Greece Mainland The Pelion Pegasus Hotel Kala Nera The friendly, family-run Pegasus is a well-liked small hotel in the heart of Kala Nera, just 30m from the sea and the start of the village s main beach. It has a lift, so would be a perfect choice for anyone with limited mobility looking for a comfortable base with everything close to hand and on the flat. The hotel has 20 attractively furnished rooms, not large but comfortable with everything you should need.

Greece Sporades Islands Skiathos Skiathos Skiathos has a veneer of elegance and sophistication unusual for a small Greek Island. Very compact (only eight miles long) it is thickly forested and almost unrealistically pretty. Along its undulating coastline hide over fifty beaches, almost all sandy. (A pebble beach on Skiathos is so rare that they offer boat excursions to the one at Lalaria!). Those along the southern coast are linked with the town by a frequent, if crowded, bus service. Whichever beach you choose, the swimming is first rate and the sea crystal-clear. Skiathos town is very attractive. A jumble of red-roofed houses and climbing stone-paved streets cover the rocky arms of the small harbour. During the day the town can appear rather sleepy, but in the evenings the waterfront hums with life and a daunting array of restaurants confronts one. Nightlife could mean a quiet café, a lively bar or an up-tothe minute music club whatever your taste, Skiathos can accommodate it. Fast, efficient catamarans and ferryboats link Skiathos with Skopelos and Alonissos making two-centre holidays simple. Excursions available include a good selection of boat trips.

This small isle really does seem to have everything beaches, lush scenery, a pretty port, good (but unobtrusive) nightlife, and plenty to do should you so wish. Understandably, Skiathos is very popular, and gets particularly busy in the high season.

Greece Sporades Islands Skopelos Skopelos Skopelos is a lovely, much underrated island, and a rewarding one to discover. Still very much a working island, it has a more Greek flavour than its glamorous neighbour Skiathos, and a slower pace of life. Strong traditions and considerable beauty, combined with its delightful town and relaxed atmosphere, make Skopelos an island to savour. With limited development, this largest island of the Sporades group remains beautifully green and wooded, with pine, oak and plane trees hiding some fine beaches along the sheltered west coast. Skopelos Town is one of the most characterful island ports in Greece. Strict building and preservation orders have kept it colourful, clean and neat with narrow, climbing streets, countless tiny chapels (over one hundred in all!), and houses linked by bridges in the special architecture of the Sporades. Mulberry trees line the waterfront and shade numerous cafés and restaurants. Skopelos Town also has some good quality shops selling local crafts. As well as offering a really relaxing holiday in friendly and attractive surroundings, Skopelos affords excellent walking and there now four marked trails, most taking in a monastery or two (the countryside is dotted with historic churches and monasteries, three of which are still inhabited). There is, too, the grave of a Cretan King of Minoan times overlooking Stafilos Bay. Alternatively, rent a mountain bike ideal for exploring and getting off the beaten track - or try your hand at sea kayaking from Elios. An enjoyable day out can also be had by boat to the National Marine Park in nearby Alonissos. Glossa Elios Mt Delphi 680m Milia Panormos SKOPELOS TOWN Agnondas TO SKIATHOS & PELION Stafylos Bay.There are some very good beaches to choose from, most of them on the sheltered west coast and easily reached from Skopelos Town by bus or hire car. They range from tiny secluded coves (generally shingle) to long stretches of white pebbles or sand/shingle, such as popular Stafilos Bay 4 kms. from the port, or Kastani with its fashionably chilled beach club. The sea is sparklingly clear, the swimming excellent.. TO ALONISSOS SKOPELOS INFORMATION Getting to Skopelos Friday flight Gatwick or Manchester to Skiathos (note: Manchester inbound flight via Kavala). Then 50-90 mins by scheduled Flying Cat or ferry (note: should ferry schedules remain similar to last year please expect an early morning departure from the island on your return journey). For flight details see page 267. Multi-Centre Options With Skiathos and Alonissos. For multi-centre details see page 8. Car Hire See page 268-9 for details. Representative Based in Skopelos Town - visits all areas. Skopelos Guide Book We recommend 'An Insider's Guide to Skopelos' by Maria Broadley which can be purchased from Amazon or on the island.

Greece Sporades Islands Alonissos Alonissos Alonissos is the least developed of the northern Sporades; a green retreat in which to swim, walk and gently explore. Around its shores are many coves and beaches, lapped by the clearest of seas and backed by green hills. Inland is a scenic joy, and the network of marked trails through the varied countryside makes for some excellent walking. Mt Kouvoulis The island is about 20 kilometres long by 4 wide, its hilly terrain softened by oak and pine. Ferries and catamarans leave regularly from the main port of Patitiri for Skopelos, only 20 minutes away, and for Skiathos, another hour further to the west. This makes the odd day excursion easy, as well as twincentre holidays. Some twenty minutes walk to the north is the delightful fishing harbour of Votsi, its clear waters and pretty pebble beach backed by cliffs and pines. Votsi has a traditional, generally sleepy village atmosphere, a handful of small shops and some good tavernas. Walk back over the headland towards Patitiri and you will come to the beach at Rossoum which has tavernas of its own. Old Alonissos, high above Patitiri, boasts stunning views and is certainly picturesque. Abandoned in the 1960 s, the old houses are now largely restored and favoured by artists and writers. The village now has a dozen tavernas, several cafés, a couple of bars and a mini-market. There is a bus link from Patitiri (operates June to September) and it can also be reached on foot in about 40 mins via a goat track or by taxi. Old Alonissos is particularly atmospheric in the evenings, and we'd recommend all visitors to come for dinner here at least once. Alonissos was one of only 22 areas from more than 1000 in the world to be awarded a Quality Coast certificate in 2013 Alonissos Old Town Mikro Mourtia Manolas Megalo Mourtia Milia Votsi PATITIRI TO SKOPELOS, SKIATHOS & MAINLAND 476 m Dhiasselo Mourtero Barbakis Kalamakia Steni Vala Kokkinokastro Moules Aghios Dimitrios Peristera Island (www.qualitycoast.info). The seas around the island are designated a National Marine Park, set up to protect the indigenous Monk Seal. You can visit it by organised boat trip. On the edge of the Park, halfway up the coast, is the pretty fishing harbour of Steni Vala very peaceful with four authentic local tavernas plus a couple of cafés and mini-markets. A dive centre is now also based here and a bus service to Patitiri operates June to September. Alonissos is a quiet, very beautiful island which is quite happy to remain off the main tourist path. Largely traditional, it would suit those looking for an unhurried holiday in natural surroundings, fine views, good swimming there is a string of fine beaches up the east coast from peaceful Milia to picturesque Aghios Dimitrios and walking. ALONISSOS INFORMATION Getting to Alonissos Friday flight Gatwick or Manchester to Skiathos (note: Manchester inbound flight via Kavala). Then 60-70 minutes by scheduled Flying Cat or 2½ by ferry. (Note: should ferry schedules remain as last year you should expect an early morning departure from the island on your return journey). For flight details see page 270. Multi-Centre Options Skiathos and Skopelos. For multi-centre details see page 8. Car & Boat Hire See pages 268-9 for details.

Greece Sporades Islands Alonissos Glyfa Beach Cottages & Apartments Steni Vala These delightful cottages and apartments are very peacefully located amongst olive trees just steps away from the white-pebble beach of Glyfa. The fishing harbour of Steni Vala, with its pair of minimarkets and handful of restaurants, is just a five minute walk away. The stone-built cottages are to the front of the mature garden close to the sea. Each has a double bedroom, spacious open-plan living room with one or two extra beds and a kitchen area with full cooker or 2-ring mini-oven, a shower room, and large shaded front veranda with views to the sea through the trees. Both cottages are furnished in a rustic style, and have wooden ceilings, tiled floors and AC. To the side and slightly above the cottages is a two-storey building housing a ground floor studio for couples only and a first floor apartment, both simply furnished in pine. The studio is double-bedded, also with shower room, kitchenette, a/c and a very large sea view covered veranda. Upstairs the apartment has a double bedroom, separate air-conditioned living room with an extra bed and kitchen with light cooking facilities (rings), and a good-sized shower room. Both the main rooms open onto the wide covered front balcony which runs the length of the house and affords fabulous sea views over the sea to Peristera island. The Cottages and Apartments: Studio for 2 Apartment for 2/3 Cottages for 2/4 Glyfa beach Upper cottage Apartment Limani Cottage Steni Vala The sweet little cottage is set on the green hillside above the compact, pretty port of Steni Vala, a two minute walk from the shops, cafés and tavernas on the quayside. You will find a small beach even closer, at the foot of the steps. A further five minutes brings you to the white pebbles and clean sea of Glyfa beach. A stable door opens into the openplan lounge, which has a dining table and two built-in sofas (could sleep a smaller child); and, one step up, a kitchen area containing a fridge/freezer, full cooker with hob and a microwave oven. A second door off the kitchen gives natural through ventilation. Off the living room are the two bedrooms one double, one twin and a tiled shower room. Recent improvements have seen the addition of a TV with DVD, a CD player, a hairdryer and some upgraded furniture. There is a wide covered terrace to the front running the length of the house, and from here you have lovely views over the port (great fun to watch the harbour comings and goings) to the island of Peristera. If you prefer sun, there is an open terrace to the side. Due to low balcony walls we do not recommend Limani Cottage to families with young children. The small surrounding garden has olive, pomegranate and citrus trees. Limani is a simple house which has plenty of traditional Greek character, with its terracotta floor tiles and a very Greek blue and white décor. Due to some 30 steps up from sea level, a stay here may be unsuited to those with walking difficulties. The Cottage: House for 2/5 Steni Vala 162 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece Crete Crete Crete is a place apart not just another Greek island, more like a separate country. Crete lies on the same latitude as Tunisia with the same baking hot summers; but here pleasantly tempered by breezes from the sea. Falasarna Kastelli Elafonissi Island Paleochora CHANIA Platanias Samaria Gorge SOUTH COAST FERRY Kalives Almirida Chora Loutro Sfakion Panormos HERAKLION Rethymnon Arkadi Monastery Georgioupolis Knossos Mt Idi Plakias Zaros Aghia Galini Phaestos Aghios Nikolaos Istron Ierapetra Myrtos Mochlos Makriyialos Sitia Vai Zakros The land is infinitely varied mountain ranges rise up to 8,000 feet, Europe s deepest gorge winds for twelve miles through rock walls at times 1,000 feet high, and countless beaches lead to a clear blue sea. Add to these high alpine meadows, well watered plains and valleys, a rich archaeology, and flora and fauna as yet largely unthreatened and you have a country worth a visit. But the most striking aspect of this land is its people. Shaped by centuries of struggle against oppression, they are as rugged as the mountains, fiercely independent, and passionately loyal to Crete and one another. Read Zorba the Greek for a marvellous evocation of the people and the place or any other of Kazantakis novels. It is a good idea to hire a car and explore. You needn t go far, because the holiday trade is confined largely to the four main towns and the coast. Any working village will reward your effort perhaps with an invitation to a celebration (there s always something to celebrate!) or just to drink raki at the coffee shop, you never know. Seek out a Minoan palace, a mountain plateau, a Byzantine monastery. Turn southwards into the high, wild hinterland for the essence of an ancient legendhaunted land. Quite unlike any other island Crete is for travellers as well as for tourists. It is an experience not to be missed.

Greece Crete Our chosen areas on Crete North West Coast Chania area, Kalives & Almirida Transfer time 20-30 mins (Chania), 45 mins (Kalives), 1 hour (Almirida) Chania is the main town in the west and has a strong Venetian flavour, particularly around its immense harbour, lined with restaurants. Behind, a maze of narrow lanes and crumbling Venetian facades conceal more restaurants, small shops and atmospheric cafés. A half-hour drive east of Chania, neighbouring Kalives and Almirida are at the entrance to Souda Bay (the largest natural harbour in the Aegean), the White Mountains behind forming a majestic backdrop. Both enjoy fine sandy beaches and beautiful rolling countryside. Walking in this beautiful region, called Apokoronas, is a major attraction and your Sunvil representative is happy to give advice and hand out walking maps. Kalives has retained its village atmosphere and boasts two long sandy beaches, one to either side. Centred around a tree-shaded square, housing a couple of cafés and the handsome church, Kalives has a good choice of authentic local tavernas and small shops which cater for most needs. Life in the thriving small resort of Almirida revolves around the beach and the dozen tavernas now here. The area has developed in recent years and the village now has several café-bars, a bakery and a pair of well stocked mini-markets. Almirida now has just the right balance between lazy days on the long curve of sandy beach - there are plenty of sunbeds and beach cafés as well as nonmotorised water sports (windsurf, kayak, paddleboard, pedalo) - and a vibrant but not OTT evening atmosphere. For a change of scene why not walk up the hill to the traditional village of Plaka (20 mins.) and enjoy dinner in the square in one of the several fine local tavernas here?from both Almirida and Kalives bicycles can be hired, excursions operate (from late May), there is a bus to Chania and taxis are available. North Coast Georgioupolis & Panormos Transfer time 1-1½ hours The seaside village of Georgioupolis between Chania and the historic town of Rethymnon offers a relaxed Cretan charm with plenty to do away from its 10 kms. of sandy beach. The village is large enough to satisfy all tastes but not so big it loses its village feeling. The village hub is its large central square, quite buzzy at night when the cafes and tavernas are full. There are plenty of taverna restaurants elsewhere and a handful of bars. Georgioupolis has good amenities including ATMs, a doctor, pharmacy and several supermarkets. A regular fast bus service runs along the coastal road behind making a trip to Rethymnon quick, easy and affordable (c 4 last year). With the White Mountains as a majestic backdrop, there are plenty of traditional villages to explore inland by foot, car or road train, and Lake Kournas is only 3 kms away. The Almiros River runs to one side of the village and is home to numbers of geese, frogs and terrapins. Take a pedalo trip to the small lake just upstream, a boat trip to sea caves, or a fishing trip. 20 minutes drive beyond Rethymnon, the atmospheric village of Panormos has everything we look for oodles of laid back charm, two good sandy beaches, a photogenic harbour (with church above and tavernas to each side) and, above all, a true Greek village atmosphere. Yet, remarkably for such a pretty place, foreign tourism here is still low-key and there is only one hotel. Panormos has everything close to hand, including some ten tavernas and a good selection of local shops in the narrow streets leading down to the harbour and beach. A fun trip is the road-train which runs to villages in the hills. For bright lights Rethymnon can be easily reached by the frequent local bus. South West Coast Paleochora & Loutro Transfer time 90 minutes (Paleochora) to 2 hours (Loutro) Transfer time 90 minutes (Paleochora) to 2 hours (Loutro) The spectacular south-west coast encapsulates the best of Crete dizzy mountain scenery, a sparkling sea and some fine beaches. In fact a winding drive through the mountains is the only way in to Paleochora other than by sea. There are plenty of restaurants and cafés above the sea or in the main street. In the summer evenings there is a positively cosmopolitan atmosphere, as both roads are sealed to traffic. The main beach is of fine golden sand and stretches for nearly a kilometre it affords superb swimming. Inland offers wonderful walking try Agia Irini gorge as an alternative to popular Samaria. Boats run to the foot of Samaria, to Sougia (another gorge here), remote Elafonissi island, or simply for spotting dolphins. During high summer Paleochora can be windy. In the early season, there is the bonus of countless wild flowers up in the hills. Unrealistically pretty and quite tiny (pop. 100!), you can only reach Loutro on foot or by boat there are no roads and no cars! Guarded by steep mountains, half-a-dozen waterfront restaurants serve an amazing variety of dishes. Canoes can be rented to explore nearby sea caves and beaches, and a small boat runs to others. This is superb walking country and the hotel is happy to give further information. Much of the time Loutro is peaceful, but it does get busy at weekends and in the high season. For a complete break in an idyllic setting, you could do no better. Paleo and Loutro make an excellent twin centre holiday, using the ferry which runs along the south coast via Roumeli where you change boats. Book Paleo as the first centre to avoid a long wait here.

Greece Crete North West Coast Doma Hotel Chania Doma Hotel (right hand side) This most civilised hotel combines comfort with an old-world elegance and has been featured several times in The Good Hotel Guide. It used to be the British Consulate, and stands across the road from the sea 1 km from the centre of town and a 10-15 minute walk from the harbour. A five minute walk brings you to a safe (albeit) narrow sandy beach. Personally run by the genteel sisters, Rena and Ioanna whose family home this once was, the hotel is full of antiques, family heirlooms and photographs, historical prints and generally fascinating Cretan ephemera collected over many years. It has 20 rooms and 4 suites, all with air-conditioning, ceiling fan, TV, safety deposit box, hairdryer and shower/wc. Those at the front have good sea views but no balcony and are above a busy road; we favour those to the rear which have a balcony overlooking the small attractive garden. The hotel also has three first floor suites and a very private Penthouse Suite which has a huge roof-terrace to itself and panoramic views to the sea and old town. On the third floor and served by a lift is a beautifully decorated breakfast room with wonderful views over the sea to the harbour. To the rear of the hotel there is a small secret garden littered with pieces of pottery and sculpture. Note: Our rooms, unless otherwise requested, will be to the rear of the hotel with balcony and garden view.

The studios have double or twin beds, air conditioning, TV, kitchenette, shower room and a sofa-bed for a child. The apartments are open-plan and on three levels linked by wooden stairs, with a kitchen and shower room downstairs, living area in the middle (sofa-bed here) and a twin-bedded sleeping gallery above. Unlike the studios, the apartments have a narrow balcony over the small street, most with a side sea view. Simply but comfortably furnished, Casa Veneta enjoys an excellent location from which to explore this historic and atmospheric town.

Greece Crete North West Coast Aeolos Apartments Almirida This well-liked accommodation has glorious views, especially from its lovely swimming pool area, and peaceful country surroundings. A little up the hill behind Almirida, it is 500m (6-7 minutes walk) down to the village and beach. The road back up is a steady gradient - steeper for the final 40m - so unsuited to anyone with walking difficulties without car hire. There are five 1-bedroom apartments here, modern with good quality fixtures and fittings. Interior decor is in attractive cool shades which, together with the marble floors, gives a light airy feel. Each apartment comprises a small twin bedroom, a spacious living room containing a full sized sofa-bed and a corner kitchenette (mini-oven and rings), and a tiled shower room.

The Walking Five walks taking in the hills and the valleys around the town of Kissamos and the surrounding area, as well as traditional villages and quiet ancient sites. The countryside here is particularly beautiful in the spring, early summer and autumn with an abundance of wild flowers and plants. Each expedition starts at 9 am at the hotel. During Walking and Painting weeks (departures 23/5, 30/5, 06/6, 20/6, 19/9, 26/9, 03/10, 10/10) Five mornings of leisurely paced walks of light to medium difficulty. Walks end between 12.30 and 1 pm back at the hotel. Other than the introductory 90 minute walk to Kissamos, which gives time to see the town and museum here, walks are 2½ to 3 hours. During Walking Only weeks (departures 16/5, 17/10, 24/10) Five longer walks of medium difficulty lasting approximately 5-6 hours, ending between 2 pm and 3 pm at the hotel.

Each workshop starts at 17:30 and ends at 19:00. The painting sessions will take place either at the Studio or out in the landscape; if the group wishes, the sketching workshop can be combined with the walk, instead of the afternoon session, freeing up the evening and giving you the chance to paint interesting aspects of the walk. On Saturdays in the late afternoon we exhibit our paintings and have a party.

Greece Aegean Islands The Cyclades The Cyclades The Cyclades literally 'the scattered islands' - in the central Aegean are most people s idea of how the Greek Islands should look. There are dazzling flat-roofed villages to explore, timeless harbours, excellent beaches, and tiny chapels everywhere. Each island has its own distinct history, customs and atmosphere, and each contrasts in landscape and terrain with its neighbour. The best known and busiest are Mykonos and Santorini, both of which have direct international flights. Santorini is world famous and seemingly always busy every cruise-ship in the Aegean seems to call in at some stage. But this does not detract from the sheer spectacle of the place, its volcanic cliffs laced with white villages overlooking the caldera and islands below. These are good jumping off points for nearby islands such as Naxos, Paros and Ios lying at the heart of the group. These islands have a perfect blend of whitewashed Greek charm and fabulous sandy beaches, making them a draw for Greek and foreign visitors alike. For lesser frequented islands look to the west - Andros, Kythnos, Serifos, Sifnos, Milos, Folegandros, each with its own distinct attractions. These islands have a more laid back feel, although in high season do receive their fair share of visitors of course, and are best served via Athens. But the most remote of all are known as 'the small Cyclades'. We feature tiny Koufonissi (truly fabulous beaches!), Schinoussa and not-so-small Amorgos. Historically difficult to reach - an overnight for the first and/or the last night is often necessary. Walking is always an attraction in Greece, and we'd recommend the excellent website www.cycladen.be for walking information and trails which cover the majority of the Cycladic islands. Do not go expecting to see much in the way of evident archaeology. There is some - notably the holy island of Delos close to Mykonos - but on the whole the bulk of Greece's archaeological sites are on the mainland. If this is an interest, but you still wish to visit the islands, we'd recommend a tailor-made arrangement via Athens with the north Peloponnese or a mainland fly-drive. Many people find a two- or three-island holiday appealing, due to the proximity of one island to the other and the contrasts between them. Due to the ferry routings, we suggest keeping to island groupings on the following pages. The Small Cyclades also combine well with Naxos. Even the most remote of these islands receives plenty of visitors in the peak season (mid-july to end-august) - and the smaller they are the more crowded they can seem. This is also the time of the Meltemi a strong wind which shows no respect for hats, taverna tablecloths or ferry schedules, but which can bring relief from the heat of the day. All visitors should be aware that ferry timetables are subject to change, bad weather or mechanical breakdown. In this event we will change your itinerary accordingly, which may involve bringing you off your island a day early in order to Keh Kythnos Serifos Andros Syros Milos Folegandros Tinos Ios Santorini Mykonos Paros Naxos Antiparos Sifnos Koufonissia Schinoussa Amorgos connect safely with your flight home. We will make all necessary hotel and transfer arrangements and you will not bear any extra costs. On all these islands we have appointed local agents or hoteliers who arrange your transfers, can give information, book cars and excursions, and can be contacted if required. However, it is important to state that we do not employ our own representatives, nor are transfers escorted, so our holidays here are recommended for the more independent traveller.

Greece Aegean Islands Eastern Cyclades Eastern Cyclades Santorini Direct flights from Gatwick, Heathrow, Birmingham and Manchester, or via Athens (ferry or domestic flight). Santorini is an island that should need no introduction. Also known as Thira, it is startlingly unlike any other. Sheer volcanic cliffs, embroidered on their heights by whitewashed villages, plunge 1,000 feet to the sea. Here occurred the tremendous eruption some 3,000 years ago that is thought to have destroyed the Minoan civilisation in Crete as well as Santorini s own advanced culture (as evidenced by the excavations at Akrotiri). Theories of Atlantis abound, but all that remains is the vast sea-filled caldera, the visible lips being the three main islands of Thira, Therasia and Aspronisi. Understandably this dramatic island is always popular and tourism, together with wine production, is fairly dominant. Nevertheless, Santorini is an island that should be visited at least once it is unique and the views are spectacularly unforgettable. Naxos Fly to Mykonos or Santorini, or via Athens c 1 hr by ferry from Mykonos or c 2 hrs from Santorini c 5 hrs by ferry from Athens or 40 min. flight Naxos is the largest of the Cyclades. It is also, with Santorini, Mykonos and Paros, now one of the most popular, due largely to muchimproved ferry links. But away from the main town and handful of burgeoning resorts Naxos has largely preserved its slower, more Greek pace of life. It offers abundant sandy beaches and a fertile interior still dedicated to farming. Naxos Town is particularly attractive, its extensive waterfront bedecked with tavernas and small shops. Behind, a maze of narrow streets and tiny passages leads to the Venetian Kastro, worth visiting for the island s archaeological museum. Naxos boasts some 92 kms of beach and nearly all are excellent. Aghios Georgios, closest to the town, is sandy and very long. Some 8 kilometres away and easily reached by the very good local bus network Prokopios and Ayia Anna are of fine golden sand shelving gently into a clear blue sea. Small but growing resorts, busy in the summer months, have sprung up behind these beaches. Carry on south and the beaches simply get better and better (and emptier) culminating in the great golden sweep of Pyrgaki. You can explore Naxos very effectively by bus or organised excursion or hire car. Visit the old capital of Chalki, delightful Philoti, and Apollonas in the north, where a large statue of Apollo (a Kouros ) lies to this day. Inland is superb walking country with mountains, springs, valleys and plains and guided walks can be booked locally. Paros & Antiparos Fly to Mykonos or Santorini, or via Athens c 1 hr by ferry from Mykonos or c 3 hrs from Santorini c 4 hrs by ferry from Athens or 40 min. flight Paros, a short hop to the west of Naxos, is smaller and less dramatic, but does get busy in season. The beaches are excellent, and it is probably the best island of all from which to do a little island hopping every ferry in the Aegean seems to dock at one time or another! A gentle landscape hides windmills and sparkling white villages. The pretty resort village of Naoussa in the north still retains some of its fishing village atmosphere around the harbour area, although busy in summer. There is a good selection of beaches to choose from, some best reached by boat. On Paros east coast, to the south of the pretty village of Piso Livadi, you will find miles of uncrowded sand. The satellite island of Antiparos, just a 10 minute ferry hop from the west coast of Paros, can feel like a refuge. Antiparos has most attractive little port with a sophisticated, counter-cultural vibe. Life revolves around its elegant waterfront and main street, beneath a canopy of flaming bougainvillea. The town has beaches of its own, but they get better as you go south, the pick being Soros which has a couple of tavernas. The island is distinguished by a spectacular set of hilltop caves more than 100 metres deep, with a stunning array of huge stalagmites and stalactites. It is easy to pop across to Paros for the day, as ferries are frequent and cheap. A trip to the nearby island of Despotiko is a highlight: heavily populated in ancient times due to its strategic maritime position, it is now uninhabited, leaving behind the ruins of its Hellenistic and Roman past. Coupled with its empty beaches and striking sea-caves, the deserted island seems to have been created from the romantic imagination. Ios Fly to Santorini or Mykonos, or via Athens c 1 hr by ferry from Santorini or c 2½ hrs from Mykonos c 5 hrs by ferry from Athens Ios has made something of a comeback in recent years. And deservedly so, as the island has a friendly little port (Gialos), very pretty traditional main village (Chora) on the hill above, and some of the finest beaches in the Cyclades. Ios developed a party island reputation in the 80s and 90s, but has since calmed down considerably and now has appeal for all ages. The young are still catered for by some clubs in Chora but this doesn't impact the majority of holidaymakers here. Our hotel is at Gialos, and here you will find some 10 traditional tavernas, plus cafes and small shops, as well as the usual Greek hoo-ha every time a ferry docks! Gialos has a nice sandy beach of its own. Milopotas is the best known of Ios' white sandy beaches, and its kilometre-long Blu Flag strand is regularly voted one of the top ten in Europe. Others are reached by boat, including lovely Manganari in the south east. Gialos, Chora and Milopotas are linked by a frequent bus service. Alternatively you can walk - it is 3 kms by foot up and over the hill from Gialos via Hora to Milopotamos. Ios is not alone in claiming Homer as its son, but near our hotel is the ancient settlement of Skarkos which dates back some 4,000 years, so there s a chance it could be true. Naxos EASTERN CYCLADES INFORMATION Getting to the Islands SANTORINI, MYKONOS Both islands have flights from Gatwick and Heathrow up to four times per week, allowing odd durations and open-jaw itineraries.

Greece Aegean Islands Eastern Cyclades Santorini Kalimera Hotel Akrotiri, Santorini This small and very friendly hotel is on the edge of the traditional village of Akrotiri, 10kms to the south of the capital Fira. The pretty village is away from the main tourist areas, although it does have some halfdozen tavernas and is known for its Minoan archaeological site dating from the eruption in 1625 BC. The hotel has only 23 rooms (plus a pair of Suites) on 3 floors or in a bungalow garden unit behind the pool. All are nicely furnished in a tasteful modern style and possess air-conditioning, fridge, TV, hairdryer, shower room and balcony or terrace. Most have some form of sea view, either over the road to the caldera or across vines to the south coast. Some open-plan maisonettes for families are available. These have a sleeping gallery above a living area and are for up to four persons. The facilities are the same as the rooms. The hotel has a well-liked garden bar and restaurant serving honest home cooking (and the occasional BBQ) and an attractive freshwater pool measuring some 80 sq m. A roofgarden bar operates in the summer evenings. The bus stop for Fira Town is nearby (service at least hourly) and a small beach at the foot of the caldera below can be reached in around 10 minutes via a steep track. The Kalimera offers a quiet, friendly alternative to the more commercial areas, yet is within a short (c 20 min) bus ride of the capital and walking distance of beaches. Recommended, and good value for Santorini. The Hotel: 2 Star Bed & Breakfast Swimming Pool Santorini Melina Hotel Fira, Santorini The Melina is a small family-run hotel in a central but quiet location that allows convenient access to the main bus station (3 mins.), the centre of Fira (5 mins.) and the caldera edge (8-10 mins.). The 20 rooms here are a mix of twins, doubles and triples, all with simple pretty decor and furnishings. All possess air conditioning, shower room, hairdryer, room safe, minifridge and balcony. There is a ground floor breakfast room and lounge (with seasonal bar), and an outdoor freshwater pool with furnished terrace surrounds. We consider the Melina to be a simple, convenient and well priced town hotel - ideal as a base from which to make the most of both Fira Town and Santorini, as the excellent bus service starts from the central bus station nearby and runs to all points including the famous volcanic beaches.

Greece Aegean Islands Eastern Cyclades Santorini Athermi Suites Megalochori, Santorini Most hotels on the cliff above Santorini's caldera are to be found from Fira up to Oia in the north. Athermi is 6 kms south of Fira, in less touristic environs and close to the charming traditional village Megalochori The hotel has 11 suites, all with glorious views over the caldera from their terrace, double bed, AC, sat TV, mini-bar, WiFi and walk-in 'rainwater' shower. The Junior Suites are on the ground floor with a shared poolside terrace. The pair of Maisonettes are on two levels, with living room below and bedroom above, and share a spacious terrace. All other suites have a private veranda. Romantic have a good-sized living room; Honeymoon, also split level, is private with caldera views from its jacuzzi bath; the roomy Athermi has an outdoor jacuzzi; and the Pool Suites each have a small outdoor private pool. Views from all are stunning. Rooms are tastefully furnished in a light rustic style with much use of wood (often driftwood). The pool to the front has a bar offering drinks and snacks.

Greece Aegean Islands Western Cyclades Western Cyclades Andros 2 hours by ferry from Rafina (Athens) Andros is the second largest island of the group (after Naxos). Due to the many underground springs much of the island remains green and fresh throughout the summer, making Andros a paradise for walkers and a network of trails has recently been opened see www.androsroutes.gr. There are mountains, valleys, monasteries and some 70 villages to explore. Andros many beaches are mostly superb, ranging from long sandy crescents (such as that at Batsi) to secluded coves, all lapped by a turquoise-clear sea. And it is Batsi where most visitors choose to stay. This small resort-village has a friendly relaxed Greek air, fine beaches to either side, a good choice of restaurants and cafés, a handful of bars, even an open-air cinema showing the latest releases (in English!). Andros Town, the atmospheric island capital since the Venetians arrived in the 13th century, makes a good day-trip by local bus. Old meets new here as its Archaeological Museum and Museum of Modern Art are each highly regarded. For trips further afield ferries run to Tinos and Mykonos. Unlike the more famous Cycladic islands, tourism to Andros is pretty low key (albeit busy with Athenians at weekends and in August). Coupled with its fine beaches, verdant countryside, authentic Greek atmosphere and ease of access, a visit here is highly recommended. Sifnos c 2 hrs 15 mins by high speed ferry from Piraeus Sophisticated Sifnos has managed to retain a discreet distance from the crowds that are drawn to better known islands, and attracts a discerning visitor. Consequently its exceptionally clean beaches feel uncrowded and peaceful (the usual August caveat apart of course), and there is a sense of traditional elegance amidst the narrow streets and whitewashed houses of the classically Cycladic villages dotted around the island. An island of fertile valleys and lofty mountains, a network of walking trails (see www.cycladen.be) enable you to explore its many beaches, and can also take you past some of the 227 individual churches, which are overlooked dramatically by several hilltop monasteries. The island s distinctive pottery making has helped develop a highly rated cuisine based on the use of clay ovens. Discerning foodies have long appreciated the island s soups, stews and casseroles, with ingredients supplied locally by the restaurants own farms - the island's signature dish is chickpea soup. Our favoured resort areas are the small fishing port of Kamares which has more than a dozen tavernas set back from a sandy beach, and Platy Yialos, the best beach on the island with an entire kilometre of golden sand, supported by a good choice of restaurants, cafes and mini-markets. There are also good and quick ferry connections to neighbouring islands such as Milos and Folegandros, making twin centre holidays easy. Milos 40 mins by domestic flight from Athens c 2 hrs 45 mins by high speed ferry from Piraeus or c 2 hrs from Santorini The volcanic origins of the island of Milos have endowed it with a very special geology. Rugged and hilly, it has a richly variegated coastline, ranging from curving sandy beaches to bleached smooth moonscape, from hidden lagoons to colourful rock formations erupted from the sea-bed. Precious obsidian has been mined here for 11,000 years, and the island is full of history. The capital is Adamas a bustling port with a sandy beach to the south. Adamas is the best location from which to explore as it is in the centre of the local bus network and offers a wide choice of excursions by boat. Plaka, the old capital perched on its hilltop, is particularly atmospheric in the evenings, and we'd recommend climbing up to the 13th century Venetian castle to view the sumptuous sunset before choosing one of the many tavernas, tables spilling out onto the narrow lanes, to dine. There is a lovely, if steep, walk down from Plaka - via ancient Christian catacombs - to the photogenic fishing hamlet of Klima below (some remains of the old Roman port here can be seen beneath the waves). In Tripiti, the view from the Greco/Roman amphitheatre is breathtaking. There are over 70 beaches on the island, and our featured village of Apollonia has its own sweep of sand shaded by tamarisk trees, with more beaches to either side. A charming fishing village, Apollonia is renowned for the excellence of its restaurants (four of the island's best are to be found here). The offshore islets of Kimolos and Polyegos are easily reached by boat and up to 9 buses run daily to the main port of Adamas and Plaka. Several ancient paths traverse the island, uncovering ever more secluded beaches. Particularly noteworthy is the unique lunarlike region of Sarakiniko, with its white volcanic beaches and pale smooth rocks, crystal waters, deep-set caves and monumental outcrops and pillars. Something of a geological curiosity, the island provides a fascinating backcloth to any around the island boat trip, which is a must for every visitor. 192 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece Aegean Islands Western Cyclades Folegandros c 4 hrs by high speed ferry from Piraeus or c 1 hr from Santorini Something of a hidden gem, Folegandros remains true to the austere beauty of its rugged landscape, with its sunbleached, woodless terrain leading to precipitous cliffs that seem to fall directly into a dazzling ocean. The island s 650 inhabitants live in three small villages, but its Chora is the perfect Cycladic capital brought to life. Perched on an almost vertical cliff, its sugar-cubed houses with whitewashed walls and blue doors are crammed together in narrow alleys. In the evenings, there seems to be a taverna on every corner, tables spilling onto the streets and squares. The landmark church of Panagia on the hillside above - a half hour walk - affords a spectacular view stunning in conjunction with the setting of the sun. Folegandros has some excellent beaches but some effort is usually required to reach them, although distances are not great. A bus runs to Agali beach up to 10 times daily, and also to the port from where you can walk to a choice of beaches.alternatively hop on a small boat for those further afield, such as lovely Katergo, sheltered by its towering cliffs. Boat excursions also run to neighbouring Sikinos. Kythnos c 1 hr 40 mins - 2 hrs 45 mins from Lavrio or c 3 hrs 15 mins from Piraeus Kythnos is one of the least known islands of the western Cyclades and as such remains very much under the tourist radar. This could be because ferry links are not great and mainly from Athens' secondary port of Lavrio, or the fact that there are no beach resorts to speak of and only limited accommodation. Which is all the more reason to visit this very traditional and nontouristic gem! The island has beaches as good as any in the Cyclades - over sixty of them, although few are organised. The most famous is Kolona, a 200m sandbar linking Kythnos with the tiny islet of Aghios Loukas - but most can still only be reached on foot or by sea. Even those that do have road access remain blissfully undeveloped (for now!). The heart of island life is to be found in the pair of gorgeous inland villages, Chora and Driopida, each a whitewashed Greek classic and where most of the 1800 population live. Our hotel and walking base is in Chora, a smart, stylish little place with four tavernas, cafes and even a couple of fashionable bars. If you are not a walker then car hire is a must (we can pre-book, please enquire). Folegandros Kythnos has a history dating back to prehistoric times, hot springs, one of the largest caves in Greece, countless chapels scattered across its landscape, ruined castles, an ancient city and strong traditions, with still-working donkeys and colourful festivals. It also has a recently opened network of walking paths, and we therefore propose our one week walking holidays as the best way to really get under the skin of this undiscovered, beautiful and charming island. However, should you prefer to do your own thing all our clients here will receive a copy of a Hiking Guide on arrival, detailing 11 well designed routes. Based on the ferry schedules last year the optimum day for travel to Kythnos is a Monday. Kythnos links to the other islands we feature in this chain via Serifos just to the south, so twin centre and island hopping holidays are possible. Serifos c 2-2½ hrs from Piraeus (Athens) by high speed or c 4½ hrs by regular ferry For a Cycladic island with such fine beaches, one of the loveliest Choras you will find, a delicious local cuisine at reasonable prices, and all just over a couple of hours from Athens by high speed ferry, it is a mystery why Serifos does not attract more foreign visitors. Those that do come stay mainly in the little port of Livadi or its satellite Livadakia in the next bay (they are only a ten minute walk apart so can be counted as one). Livadi has all the attributes you would expect from the WESTERN CYCLADES INFORMATION Getting to the Islands Flights from Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted, Edinburgh and Manchester to Athens. ANDROS, KYTHNOS, SERIFOS, SIFNOS, FOLEGANDROS Transfer to Rafina, Lavrion or Piraeus port for afternoon ferry to the island where you will be met and transferred to your accommodation. On the return the reverse applies for an evening flight back to London or an overnight hotel for the Manchester flight the next day. In early and late season (May and after mid-sept) an overnight in Athens may be required on arrival and/or departure. MILOS Connecting domestic flight Athens to Milos where you will be met and transferred to your Milos main port - shops, a bank, a good choice of tavernas (many with tables on the sand) and a number of beach bars and cafes. Buses run to Chora and (in season) some beaches, but to see more of the island you'll need to hire a car. Chora perches precariously on a rocky outcrop high above Livadi. It is an archetypal old capital with whitewashed houses and chapels in its narrow lanes, a main square with a handful of tavernas and cafes, bright splashes of bougainvillea and lots of steps! But the climb up to the top is worth it when the stunning view over Livadi and the Aegean to Sifnos reveals itself. Take the bus up and walk back down via the old mule path (c 30 mins). In fact a number of walking trails have opened up in recent years- seven at the last count with more planned. There are some 60 beaches on Serifos, nearly all of them of sandy and many with natural shade. The main beach of Livadi stretches for 850m and would be the envy of many another village. But they get much better than this. Livadakia over the headland is gorgeous - a perfect crescent of golden sand lined by tamarisk trees. Keep going along the south coast for 5 kms and you come to stunning Vaya, a protected beach backed by dunes, and then to equally lovely Ganema. Go north-east from Livadi and you will come to Psili Ammos, once picked by The Sunday Times as Europe's Beach of the Year - you can walk to it in 45 minutes. Serifos links with Kythnos to the north and Sifnos, Milos and Folegandros to the south, so a twin-centre or island hopping trip can be easily arranged. accommodation. If the domestic flights are full (they are small aircraft) then ferry transfers will be provided as above. Multi-Centre and Island Hopping Kythnos, Serifos, Sifnos, Milos and Folegandros are easy to combine. They also have high speed ferry connections to the Eastern Cyclades (Santorini, Ios) plus in season (07/6-12/9) Naxos, Paros, Amorgos and Koufonissi. Representation We do not employ our own representatives on these islands and transfers are unescorted. Our hotels should be able to give any information required. We do have a local agent on most islands for assistance and also our main agents in Athens can always be contacted if required. 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk Greece & Cyprus 193

Greece Aegean Islands Western Cyclades Kythnos Kythnos Walking Holidays As mentioned in our island description, our walking/hiking holidays here are the best ways to get under the skin of this charming and little known Cycladic island. They are really 'walking plus' trips because they also include any cultural events (local festivals etc.) that may be taking place - and there are many in the summer - as well as taking in an archaeological site, villages, churches, a ruined castle, Katafiki Cave, thermal springs, a folk museum, a honey farm and, of course, various beaches (most walks include a swim stop). The Walks There are four main walks during the week, ranging from 11 kms to 14 kms and walking time (without breaks) is usually 4½ to 5 hours. Walks start at 09.00 am, generally returning mid to late afternoon. One walk, on the Sunday before departure, is shorter (c 1 hour) and planned to give some beach time at famous Kolona, returning by sea taxi. There is one free day mid-week. The walking standard is mainly intermediate. Although there are some short steeper passages the heights are not particularly significant - the island only goes up to 350 metres - while the terrain of the mule-track paths can be rugged.

Greece Aegean Islands Western Cyclades Milos Apollon Hotel Apollonia, Milos What will make your holiday here special is not just that you are staying in the prettiest seaside village on Milos, nor that the sea here is sparkling and the restaurants the best on the island - it is the hospitality of Mrs Stavroula and her family. The accommodation is very simple and split between two buildings. The original building is directly above the sea, facing the small island of Kimolos. The rooms here are old-style Greece - spotlessly clean and traditionally furnished in pine with simple decor, an en suite shower room, and balcony with sea or side sea views.

To the front of the original building is a large terrace garden with sun beds and seating, and to one side a cafe-bar where a good home made breakfast is taken. Below is a tiny beach but most people prefer to swim from the flat rocks to the side, which create a natural swimming pool. You are 300m (a 5 minute walk) from the main beach, restaurants and harbour.

Greece Aegean Islands The Small Cyclades Amorgos & Small Cyclades The Small Cyclades are made up of five main islands (Koufonissi, Schinoussa, Iraklia, Donoussa and Keros) and dozens of tiny ones, several of them uninhabited. Intriguingly, they each manage to be strikingly different from one another, with characters all their own. Clustered together between Naxos to the north and Amorgos to the south, these islands appeal to those who are interested in that off the beaten track feel, who seek to enjoy a quieter pace of life - people who want their holidays to be uninterruptedly relaxed. Beaches are fabulous and plentiful. On the smaller islands of Koufonissi and Schinoussa there is no public transport to speak of and no car rental (as the islands are so small). People get around on foot, bike or taxi-boat - very Robinson Crusoe! Such delights were always going to be discovered sooner rather than later and the islands have become increasingly busy between mid-july and August - especially noticeable on Koufonissi as the island is so small and has but one village in which to stay. But outside that period they revert to a gentle, unhurried and traditional way of life. All of the main islands are linked by a daily (weather permitting) small return ferry service between Amorgos and Naxos, as well as some less regular but more up-to-date high speed catamaran and ferry connections. Amorgos 2 hrs from Mykonos by high speed ferry 8½ hrs from Athens by Blue Star line ferry from Piraeus (First Class lounge) or 5½ hrs from Naxos (local ferry) Amorgos is one of the most remote, yet most beautiful, of all Greece's islands and remains one of the least-known and visited of the Cyclades, only approaching 'busy' during the short high season. Long and narrow, with mountains reaching 821m, Amorgos is a laid-back natural paradise (600 species of flora have been catalogued to date, and it is a haven for birds) offering stunning views, excellent walking and a traditional way of life now lost on many of the more developed islands. The seas around the island are crystal clear. The island was the setting for Luc Besson's film The Big Blue. The capital, inevitably called Chora, is about halfway up the island above the south coast. It is one of the most attractive Cycladic towns, whitewashed with chapels and Venetian fortifications to explore and a fair number of decent cafés and characteristic tavernas. It is a short walk from here, via a cobbled donkey path, to the monastery of Hozoviotissa which dates from 1088; Amorgos' most famous attraction and still with a handful of resident (and welcoming) monks. The location is stunning - built into the cliff high above the sea. Our holidays are based at the island's picturesque second port of Aegialis - the first is Katapola to the west - where you will find a good sandy beach and selection of small shops and tavernas. The island bus also runs between the two and goes on to Chora, although keen walkers could take the bus one way and enjoy the beautiful 4-5 hour trail back (or v.v.). In the hills above Aegialis are three very traditional villages to explore, places where donkeys still work for a living. Elsewhere the island has some largely unexcavated sites to visit (Minoan, Hellenistic and Roman) and a good number of chapels in between. We cannot stress enough how traditional an island Amorgos is. It is, in many ways, that cliched 'step back in time'. There are many village festivals in the summer, where you will genuinely experience the welcome and hospitality Greece is famed for. As walking is such a major attraction, with every holiday here we include a 128 page Visitor s and Walker s Guide to the island. Koufonissi & Schinoussa 1½ hrs from Mykonos by high speed ferry (Koufonissi only) 7-8 hrs from Athens by Blue Star line ferry from Piraeus (First Class lounge) or 2½ hrs from Naxos (local ferry) Koufonissi is actually 2 islands, Pano (Upper) and Kato (Lower), and whereas Kato is AMORGOS & SMALL CYCLADES INFORMATION Getting to the Islands Flights from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Edinburgh and Manchester to Athens or from Gatwick and Manchester to Mykonos or Santorini AMORGOS Via Athens Tue, Wed, Thu, Sat (high season), Sun out; Mon, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sun (high season) return Morning flight to Athens. Transfer to Piraeus for the 17.30 Blue Star ferry - a large, modern and extremely comfortable ship with restaurant, bar etc. We will book you into the quiet Business Class lounge area. Arrives Amorgos 01.10, 02.00 or 02.50. Local transfer on the island (10-40 mins depending on from which port). On the return it is an early morning ferry back to Piraeus (dep 06.55 arr 15.00) to connect with the evening flight to UK. Although flights are daily and Blue Star operates 4 or 5 times weekly the optimum departure day is Wed out (also Sat 25/6-03/9) and Thurs or Fri back (also Sun 26/6-04/9) due to ferry routings. Other days take longer and may be to/from Katapola port, not Aegialis. Via Mykonos 7/6-26/9 - high speed Sea Jet service NB the optimum travel day is Thursdays Transfer to port for mid-afternoon ferry (dep 15.20 or 16.30) which takes c 2 hours to Amorgos (Katapola port). 40 minute transfer to hotel. Sea uninhabited, Pano has the densest population in the Cyclades. But given the island amounts to just 3.5 sq kms we are hardly talking crowded! The island is a favourite with couples and families alike, as the gently shelving beaches are all the whitest sand and slide into the kind of dazzlingly turquoise sea normally associated with the Caribbean, making the bathing and snorkelling exceptional. Take note, though, that the beaches offer little in the way of natural shade; however the more sheltered south eastern coast is blessedly protected from the meltemi wind which usually blows in August. August actually is the worst time to visit, as the island, being so small, accommodated far more visitors than it should. There is but the single, white-walled village on a low, rising hill above the tiny harbour. It has a wide choice of restaurants, tavernas, cafes and small shops, many of which can be found in the pretty pedestrianised main street. There is a fine town beach, and 4 more excellent beaches within walking distance (45 minutes maximum to Pori beach, the furthest). Other than via water-taxi and bicycle, and a high season beach bus, walking is the only way to get around, and is one of the reasons the island is so gloriously relaxed. Schinoussa is larger than Koufonissi but is visited by fewer numbers, in part because its jagged coastline and many beaches are not distinguished by quite the same dazzling Caribbean-style sand of its neighbour, even though its emerald waters are just as inviting. Please see our website for further details. Jet connects with an evening flight back to the UK. There are also morning connections back to Santorini on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Please note that a/ Sea Jet is not a large vessel as Blue Star and can suffer delay or cancellation in high winds; and b/ these schedules are provisional and may change. KOUFONISSI & SCHINOUSSA Via Athens Low Seasons: Tue, Sun out; Mon, Wed return. 25/6-04/9: night ferry only As per Amorgos except different days and no high season daytime service. Via Mykonos As per Amorgos (Koufonissi only). Multi Centre & Island Hopping All three islands combine easily with one another plus Naxos and Paros. There are also Sea Jet services from Amorgos and Koufonissi to Santorini, Folegandros and Milos in season (10/6-12/9).

It is a charming small boutique-style guesthouse with an intimate atmosphere and attention paid to the small but important details. The 10 studios here overlook the attractive gardens.

Greece Dodecanese Islands Dodecanese The islands of the Dodecanese are the furthest grouping from the Greek mainland, and hug the Turkish coastline so closely that in some places one could seemingly swim between the two continents. Being in Greece s far Patmos Lipsi Leros Kalymnos south-eastern corner, they not only enjoy an enviable sunshine record but a very strategic location, and it is their turbulent past which has resulted in such a distinctive history, culture and architecture. Kos Nissyros Bodrum Tilos Halki Symi TURKEY Rhodes Marmaris TO KASTELLORIZO Within the group, however, there is a great deal of variety, and each island has its own character, from Patmos in the north which has amore Cycladic style to tiny, remote Kastellorizo in the south. Over the millennia the Dodecanese have been under the control of outsiders for much of the time Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Crusader knights, Ottoman Turks and, until 1943, Italians have all held sway. In the 1st century AD St Paul and St John visited (John eventually settling on Patmos), and in the 20th century the islands saw fierce fighting between German and Allied forces during WW2. So if you like history you will not be disappointed! Evidence of most past invaders is still all around, from the Crusader castles medieval Rhodes Town is the outstanding example to the grandiose public buildings left by the Italians. Add to this a decent smattering of Hellenistic ruins, a myriad of Byzantine chapels, and atmospheric harbours lined by 19th century sea captains mansions and you have a unique and vibrant mix. But overlying all this is the islands overwhelmingly Greek character. All the elements which make Greece such a wonderfully relaxed, friendly and picturesque holiday destination are here, from the small whitewashed villages clinging to the hillside above the sea to beaches as good as you will find anywhere. The main hubs here are popular Rhodes and Kos, which have organised tourism served by direct charter flights. But hop on a ferry for an hour or two and you are transported to an older, quieter world. Rhodes apart, we feature most of the smaller islands either in this brochure or on our website. Should you wish to sample a selection, island hopping holidays are easy to arrange here please enquire. As with all Aegean islands, there can be strong winds - notably the Meltemi which normally blows from the north in July and August - so do be prepared for possible disruption to the boat schedules. Although rare, in this event we will make all arrangements necessary at no extra cost to you, which may include an unscheduled overnight in Rhodes or Kos.

Greece Dodecanese Islands Tilos Tilos Nissi Island Aghios Andonis Beach Megalo Chorio Aghios Pantelemonas Eristos Beach Tiny Tilos (pop. 550), midway between Rhodes and Kos, is the most enlightened Greek island we know and leads the way in environmental protection and eco-tourism. The islanders, led by a progressive mayor, realised years ago that the way forward was in limited, high quality tourism a Livadia world away from the mass market. To this end they dedicated their efforts to sustainable tourism becoming the first island in Greece to ban hunting was a bold start and have never looked back. The island s 64 sq kms, together with its surrounding archipelago of 16 uninhabited islets, have been designated an Important Bird Area, an EU-registered Special Protection Area and a Natura 2000 site amongst others. What this all means is that visitors here will find a protected natural environment with a wonderful diversity of flora and fauna, especially birds (there are 155 documented wild species, including the rare Eleonora s Falcon). Tilos is therefore a paradise for walkers and now boasts 67km of signed walking trails (many being restored cobbled mule paths) which run through untamed countryside, linking rugged mountains with fertile valleys of wild flowers, pine, oak and almond watered by the island s many underground springs. From the heights, the views to six neighbouring islands and Turkey are stunning. A walking map is available locally. For a good idea of the walking possibilities here see the website www.tilostrails.com. And there are certainly things to explore whilst out and about some 200 Byzantine country chapels, seven Crusader castles, abandoned villages, a Byzantine monastery, and one of the most important archaeological finds in recent history a cave full of dwarf elephants, the last of their kind to survive in Europe. The small museum here is a must-visit. Many walking trails start from the main port of Livadia. This sleepy, traditional and overwhelmingly friendly little village boasts a lovely long pebble beach, shaded by tamarisk trees, lapped by the clearest of seas and backed by a car-free walkway. It also has some dozen very good tavernas and the same number of café-bars, seven mini-markets (will deliver), a bakery and a bank with an ATM. Cars can be rented and some organised trips do run, by bus, boat or on foot, including (last year) Monastery and Sunset, a boat BBQ and beekeeping! A water-taxi service operated somewhat erratically from Livadia harbour to other local beaches, whilst a regular bus runs to the other main settlement of Megalo Chorio and (in season) to sandy Eristos beach. Tilos has 19 beaches, many of which can be reached only on foot or by boat as they have been purposefully left road-free. Of course all the usual benefits which make Greece such a great destination for a relaxing holiday are present in abundance on Tilos sun, sea, tavernas, village life etc. But Tilos offers so much more, and is a shining example to other small islands under similar economic pressures. By visiting you will not only have a splendid holiday, you will be supporting the island s initiative and helping others to see that an alternative to mass tourism can work. TILOS INFORMATION Getting To Tilos Wednesday flights from Gatwick, Manchester and Birmingham to Rhodes (other regional airports may be available). After some years without a direct boat transfer between Rhodes and Tilos on Wednesdays, we understand a licence has been granted for this route and are cautiously optimistic this will be reinstated for 2017. Details are still to be finalised so at the time of writing we have no information whether this will be a direct service or via another island, nor how long it will take. The old direct service took 90 minutes on a fast boat. We will update our website once firm information is available. Should this service not operate then we will overnight clients in Rhodes on arrival and departure and, based on last year's schedules, use the catamaran service out on Thursday morning (dep Rhodes 08.30 arr Tilos 10.30) returning on Tuesday afternoon (dep Tilos 16.30, arr Rhodes 18.30). All necessary transfers and hotel accommodation on Rhodes will be provided at no additional charge. Representative We have our own local representative based on Tilos. However please note that transfers are not escorted. Car Hire Available locally see your representative. Multi-Centre Options With any other Dodecanese island or Akyaka in Turkey (via Rhodes). Should ferry schedules remain as 2016 this will mean an overnight is required in the middle except for Nissyros, Kos, Kalymnos and Halki which had a direct connection on Tuesday and Thursday. 210 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece Dodecanese Islands Tilos Ilidi Rock Livadia The Ilidi Rock has the best views in town and is highly praised by our guests. It occupies a splendid position above the bay overlooking the village and is a three minute walk above the sea to the harbour. A pair of pretty shingle coves afford fine swimming below the hotel. Modern in style (opened fully in 2009), the hotel comprises several buildings. The studios contain twin or double beds, a kitchen area with 2-ring mini-oven or microwave and fridge, air-conditioning, tiled shower room, TV, hairdryer, room-safe, iron and a front balcony with wonderful views over the bay. The apartments have the addition of a living room with two sofa beds (some built-in) for children and a bigger terrace.

WiFi is available here (and in some rooms) at no extra charge, and there is also a PC guests can use. Steps lead down to a pair of small pebble beaches below with complimentary sunbeds for guests. From June onwards the hotel operates a very smart beach bar in a stunning location above the sea, offering champagne breakfasts, snacks during the day and drinks/cocktails in the evening.

Above the beach is the hotel s snack bar where breakfast is served. The beach to the front is pristine and the hotel provides sun beds free of charge for its guests. A ten minute walk along the paved beachfront footpath, past a choice of tavernas and cafes, brings you to Livadia s fishing harbour and the centre of the village.

Greece Dodecanese Islands Halki Halki Monastery of St John Chorio Emborio Pondamos Beach Tiny Halki is the closest island to Rhodes, just 6 kms off its western coast, and you will not find a better example of two completely contrasting neighbours. Halki is tiny, the smallest inhabited island in the whole Dodecanese group, measuring just 28 sq kms and with a resident population numbering just a few hundred (Rhodes pop 115,000!) easily outnumbered by foreign visitors in the summer months. There is one proper hotel, one village and one sandy beach. You are forced to relax, because there is not much to do here except eat, swim, read, sleep and generally forget the world. In other words you are free to enjoy a blissfully guilt-free holiday! The local population live in Emborio. This handsome natural amphitheatrical harbour is lined by elegant Venetian stone mansions and boasts the tallest freestanding bell tower in the Dodecanese. The bells are silent now, ever since it was decided that people would sleep better without its loud chiming every 15 minutes. But the fact that they had to stop the clock to achieve this sums Halki up - this is one island on which time really has stood still! The harbour is archetypal and as pretty as a postcard. We have not seen clearer water in any harbour than you will find here. Multi-hued and almost translucent, it is certainly a joy to swim - if you don't mind the small fish having a nibble! We even saw cuttlefish, which rarely visit shallow waters. Nightlife revolves around the fine halfdozen or so waterfront tavernas which of course specialise in fish caught that morning (and which you may well have seen coming in off the fishing boats). There is a similar number of cafes and low-key bars, and various small shops selling all you should need. The village behind is as exactly as you would expect - whitewashed lanes lined with old houses (some crumbling), sudden splashes of colour provided by brightly painted doors and shutters, an unexpected burst of bougainvillea, or hardy geraniums thriving in an old olive oil tin. You can swim to the side of Emborio harbour - there are jetties, steps or a ladder here and there to enable you - but should you prefer a beach the nearest is the small shingly cove of Ftenagia, a 5 minute walk behind the harbour via a rough path. The taverna here lays out its sun beds above the sea. The island's main beach is sandy Pondamos, a 10-15 minute walk and also with attendant taverna. Further coves and bays, mostly pebble, can be reached on foot; others, better but more remote, are best reached by taxiboat from the harbour. The swimming in crystal-clear water is excellent everywhere. There is a walking map you can buy on the island but trails are not well signed and can be difficult to find. But on an island as small as Halki you can't get lost for long! One walk most visitors make is to the old village, now deserted, of Chora, 3 kms to the west and topped by a crumbling Crusader castle. Your reward for the stiff walk up is panoramic vistas over Emborio to Rhodes and towards distant Karpathos. Alternatively take the island public minibus high up the mountain to the Monastery of St John (c 5) and walk back - it takes around 2 hours. Halki was designated 'the island of peace and friendship' by UNESCO in 1983. They got it absolutely right - Halki is certainly peaceful and you could not find a friendlier island anywhere. HALKI INFORMATION Getting to Halki Arrivals are on Wednesdays from Gatwick, Manchester and Birmingham via Rhodes which connect with the late afternoon local ferry service (other days or late flights may not connect - we will arrange transfers an overnight hotel in Rhodes Town with transfers). Other regional airports may be available. Taxi transfer to port (40 mins) and small ferryboat to the island (c 1 hour, tickets included). Short walk to your accommodation with luggage transfer. On your return the reverse applies. Representative We do not have a representative on Halki. There are local travel agents for information and our main agent in Rhodes can always be contacted. Multi-Centre Options With any other Dodecanese island or Akyaka in Turkey (via Rhodes) or with Akyaka in Turkey. In 2016 Halki had a fast direct sea connection with Tilos, Nissyros, Kos and Kalymnos (Tue and Thu) which avoided travelling via Rhodes Town however this is not guaranteed for 2017. Should mid-centre transfers be via Rhodes these can take most of the day but we can store luggage to allow free time to explore the Old Town before your late afternoon ferry or flight.

Greece Dodecanese Islands Patmos Patmos Patmos fame belies its size. This is where St John the Divine wrote the Book of Revelation, and the island hence receives many visitors, most of whom stay for only a few hours before returning to their cruise boat. That leaves the rest of this starkly beautiful island to those who, like us, prefer to fall under Patmos spell in its own time. Skala Kampos Hora & Monastery of St John Grikos It is the most northerly island of the Dodecanese and one of the smallest, measuring little over 20 square miles. Its hilly interior and highly indented coastline, however, means there is plenty of scope for walking and independent exploration. The attractive port of Skala is the best place to stay, as everything seems to start from here. Skala is a bustling, quite sophisticated little place, with elegant arcaded cafés (a legacy of the Italians, who were here until 1947), fine tavernas and some smart shops hidden in the narrow backstreets. A surprisingly good bus service runs at regular intervals to beaches and villages north and south, and to Hora and the monastery above. Skala has sand of its own, and caiques leave the quay for other beaches, such as sandy Psili Ammos (only accessible by boat or on foot). Sea excursions operate around the island, as well as to nearby Arki and Lipsi. High on the hill above Skala is the Monastery of St John, the white houses of Hora clustered below its imposing fortifications for protection. It is one of the magnificent sights of Greece. Founded in the 11th century, the monastery contains treasures second only to Athos. The best way to visit is by a 40 minute walk up the shaded cobbled path from Skala, via the Cave of the Apocalypse where St John received the Word of God. Hora is quite beautiful, with its old mansions and flower-filled courtyards, and has some good restaurants. The views from the square over Patmos and the Aegean are stunning.. PATMOS INFORMATION Getting to Patmos Thursday Day flight Gatwick to Samos (note: inbound flight via Lemnos). Should flights and ferry timings remain as last year, an overnight on Samos will be required in one direction - either on arrival or on departure (ferry timetables vary by season). Ferry journeys vary from 1 hour (catamaran) to 3hrs 30mins (local ferry). We will not have precise transfer information until shortly before your departure but rest assured, all required transfers and overnight B&B hotel on Samos will be arranged for you by Sunvil. Multi-Centre Options Patmos with Samos, Ikaria (note: last year a fast direct boat on Friday and Sunday afternoon took 1 hour) and Kusadasi in Turkey (via Samos). Patmos can also be included in a tailor made island hopping itinerary with many of the other Dodecanese islands e.g. Lipsi, Leros, Kos, Kalymnos, Telendos, Rhodes - please enquire for details. Representative We do not employ a resident representative on Patmos but have a local agent based in Skala. Our rep in Samos can always be contacted if required. 216 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece Dodecanese Islands Symi Symi Nimborio For centuries Symi was a major commercial centre, which is why such a small island has such an impressive port. Grand neoclassical houses and mansions, many once owned by wealthy sea captains of yore, line the horseshoe-shaped bay on three sides and climb the steep hill behind. Yialos Pedi Chorio Panormitis Marathounda Symi Town has two parts Chorio above and Yialos below. Each has its own atmosphere, shops and tavernas, and the two are linked by a wide street (and nearly 400 steps) known as Kali Strata. Given that Symi is only 24 miles from Rhodes, the waterfront can be busy with day-trippers, but only for a few hours during the hottest time and easily avoided. Beaches tend to the pretty pebble variety and best reached by one of the regular water-taxis that shuttle to and fro through the day (there is a bus alternative to Pedi in the next bay). Boats also run to nearby islands and you can visit Turkey only 4 miles distant. Both Chorio and Yialos come into their own in the evening when the lights of the town and the waterfront restaurants reflect from the bay to create a very special mood. Chorio also has good tavernas, and can have a lively traditional village atmosphere. Symi is quite mountainous and not as barren as may first appear. Some good walking opportunities exist, to small bays or inland, which contains many chapels as well as a monastery or two. But most visitors come simply to relax; to enjoy Symi s very clear seas, warmth of welcome, and one of the most atmospheric small harbour towns in the Aegean. SYMI INFORMATION Getting to Symi Wednesday flights from Gatwick, Manchester and Birmingham to Rhodes other regional airports may be available. Taxi transfer to Rhodes port (40 mins). Ferry to the island (50-90 mins, tickets included) there may be some waiting time at the port. Depending on your accommodation (see descriptions) short walk, luggage transfer or transfer to accommodation. On your return the reverse applies. Representative We do not have a representative on Symi - the hoteliers are happy to give local information and our main agent in Rhodes can always be contacted. Multi-Centre Options With any other Dodecanese island as they all have either a direct sea connection or via Rhodes (may need an overnight). See page 8. 218 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece Dodecanese Islands Symi Iapetos Village Hotel Yialos The attractively designed Iapetos Village offers good modern standards in an enviable location.

Greece Dodecanese Islands Karpathos Karpathos Karpathos lies between Rhodes and Crete and is the third largest of the Dodecanese. Long, narrow, remote and starkly beautiful (especially in the vertiginous north), it is similar in these respects to Amorgos and Ikaria. However, with flight connections from Rhodes twice daily it is not as difficult to reach. The southern third is lower-lying and has the airport so it is here that most people stay, especially in and around Pighadia, the island capital. Situated to the south of beautiful Vrondi bay a magnificent 3km stretch of golden sand the town itself offers all the facilities you need, including a good choice of tavernas, cafés and shops. Pighadia port is the departure point for excursion boats to the north. Some superb east coast beaches, such as famous white-sand Apella, can be reached by sea or 4x4, but the best trip is to stay on the boat and continue up the coast to the remote fishing village of Diafani, where buses take you the short distance to Olymbos. This mountain village is known throughout Greece for its traditional ways a sign of its historical isolation where locals still wear colourful embroidered dress and speak an ancient dialect. Although the continuation of some of these traditions today may have a slightly commercial aspect, the village is well worth seeing. Lefkos Olymbos Spoa Apella Beach Diafani Mt. Kalilimni 1215m Pyles Pighadia Ammopi Beach Between the two, not far from Pighadia and fine to explore by car, is a scattering of very attractive villages in the foothills of Mount Kalilimni (1215m), such as Pyles. From here you can take the west coast road to Lefkos, three gorgeous sandy bays with a small summer resort-village behind. Despite its growing popularity Lefkos remains quiet and laid back for much of the year, only busy for a few peak weeks, and has at least a dozen restaurants, a selection of small shops, sunbeds and car hire available. For a relaxing holiday in attractive low-key environs, with a choice of beaches as good as you ll find anywhere on your doorstep, we think Lefkos would be hard to beat. KARPATHOS INFORMATION Getting To Karpathos Wednesday flights from Gatwick, Manchester and Birmingham via Rhodes other regional airports may be available. Domestic flight to Karpathos (35 mins.). Then 30-75 min. taxi transfer to accommodation. On your return the reverse applies. It will probably be necessary to overnight in Rhodes on arrival or departure we hope to have this information available at the time of booking. Representative We do not have a representative on Karpathos. The hoteliers will happily provide local information and our main agent in Rhodes can always be contacted.

Greece Dodecanese Islands Kalymnos & Telendos Kalymnos & Telendos Just a short hop from Kos, the very friendly island of Kalymnos offers plenty of variety. From the bustling main port of Pothia in the south to the sleepy Greek charm of Emborios in the north, the island can accommodate a wide range of holiday tastes within its 21km length. The distinctive island of Telendos, lying just a kilometre off the mid-western shore, is a step back in time. In the past Kalymnos was famed for the bravery of its sponge-divers. However recent years have seen this trade in decline, as has package tourism, and the island has reinvented itself as an activity holiday centre. The island is now a mecca for rock climbers and attracts off-season walkers. Scuba diving and sea-kayaking are also available. Pothia, the capital, is a large thriving town with a very Greek atmosphere, its harbour lined with cafes and tavernas. Narrow backstreets wind up the hill and hide a number of neoclassical mansions, one of which is now a hotel featured in our programme (see our website). Pothia has an open-air cinema, and in season excursion boats leave from here for Pserimos, Kos and Leros. Most visitors stay in the narrow coastal area halfway up the western side. This was a popular tourist destination in the 90s but much quieter now. Fringed by a string of sand/pebble beaches, accommodation is centred in Myrties and Massouri, which are so close together it is difficult to say where one stops and the other begins! A reasonable choice of restaurants and beach tavernas offer good value in traditional relaxed surroundings. Views from just about everywhere are spectacular to rocky Telendos opposite. In the far northwest of the island, where the road ends 20 kms from Pothia, is tiny Emborios. This is the real Greece, comprising simply a tamarisk-fringed shingle beach (you can walk to others nearby), five good taverna restaurants, a church and a small shop. Not much more to do here, then, other than swim, walk, read, eat and sleep in very peaceful surroundings, interrupted only by the occasional goat and church bells. We love Emborios! From Myrties, Massouri and Pothia it is possible to explore the island quite nicely by the local bus which has a reasonable service. Elsewhere there are numerous Byzantine chapels, ruined Knights' castles, the abandoned citadel-town of Pera Kastro and the impressive Kefala cave to discover. Tiny Telendos is easily reached from Myrties in just ten minutes by water-taxi (which cost 3 last year and runs every half-hour until midnight). There is one tiny fishing hamlet and a number of sandshingle beaches, one of which is naturist - the closest is just a five minute walk over the headland from the harbour. Blissfully tranquil (no cars), the pretty waterfront has half-a-dozen tavernas, a couple of cafes and a small shop or two. But for brighter lights just hop on the water-taxi to Kalymnos. The advantage here is that you can, in effect, have a two-centre holiday without bothering to move! (The same applies, of course, in reverse - anyone staying in Massouri can easily pop over for dinner on Telendos). A very sweet little island with a delightful away from it all atmosphere, Telendos was once joined to Kalymnos but separated by an earthquake in AD 554. They say that, if you look hard, you can see the remains of a submerged village on the way across. Massouri beach KALYMNOS INFORMATION Getting to Kalymnos & Telendos Flight on various days from Gatwick, Manchester and a range of regional airports via Kos. Short taxi transfer to Mastihari (10 mins) and a 20-30 minute boat or hydrofoil journey (there may be some waiting time at the port). Onward transfer to your accommodation (10-50 mins incl. a 10 min watertaxi ride for Telendos). On your return the reverse applies. Representative We have a local agent on Kalymnos but do not employ our own representative. Car Hire Can be arranged locally by our agent or your hotel. Multi-Centre Options Kalymnos combines very easily with Telendos or with any other Dodecanese island and Akyaka in Turkey (via Rhodes) please enquire. 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk Greece & Cyprus 223

Greece Dodecanese Islands Kalymnos & Telendos Myrties Apartments Myrties These top notch apartments are the best we have found on Kalymnos. They are on a small hill at the entrance to Myrties, far enough from the main road to be peaceful but close enough for quick access to the beach, bus stop, shops and tavernas. They also enjoy spectacular views to Telendos just over the bay, which is easily reached. There is just a pair of very spacious apartments here. Each has a living room with a double sofa-bed (can be two singles), a well equipped kitchen area (2-ring mini-oven, microwave, fridge), a twin bedroom (can be double on request), large modern full bathroom, and a choice of either the large front veranda or side terrace, with garden furniture and sunbeds from which to admire the views over Myrties Bay to Telendos. Mod cons include sat TV, DVD, full AC (both rooms), safety deposit box, free Wifi, beach towels, bathroom amenities and robes. The apartments are 350m from Myrties beach and the watertaxi for Telendos, which takes just 10 mins, costs peanuts and runs every half hour until midnight, making it easy to pop over for dinner. Early Booking Offer Reductions apply or bookings made by 30/4. Please enquire for a costing. The Apartments: Apartments for 2/4 Emborios Harry s Paradise Garden Emborios When you see the gardens here you will understand why this small block of six studios is named as it is. They are really quite magnificent, full of shrubs, trees, plants and rioting flowers! Set in this garden, away from the rooms, is an excellent restaurant, well known in the area. The rooms are equally as lovely, being spacious and contemporary with a beautiful design and decor. Each is double or twin-bedded, with air-conditioning, safety-deposit box, a small kitchen area with light cooking facilities (2 rings, fridge), a very nice modern shower room, and large covered terrace overlooking the gardens to the front. Next door is a small stone cottage called Alexandra. This is very traditional with a raised double bedded platform to one side of the air conditioned living room, a simple kitchen, shower room and a shaded stone garden terrace. The cottage has plenty of rustic Greek charm. It is just 100 metres to the beach, and you will find another four tavernas and a mini-market close to hand in this peaceful and most relaxing little village. Please note the bus service from here is limited. The Hotel: Studios for 2/3 224 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece Dodecanese Islands Kalymnos & Telendos Telendos waterfront Porto Potha Hotel Telendos The Porto Potha is the only hotel on Telendos and built on the hillside above a narrow sand-shingle beach.

Greece Dodecanese Islands Lipsi & Leros Lipsi & Leros Lipsi Unspoiled Lipsi s sleepy atmosphere, limited tourist numbers and fine beaches make it ideal away from it all territory. The little port is the only village. Most tavernas are, of course, on the quayside, from where steps lead up to the old part of the village. There is a good sandy town beach, and others can be reached on foot or by minibus. Lipsi offers good walking amongst its gentle rolling landscape dotted with bluedomed chapels, and even has its own archipelago of deserted satellite islets, many of which can be visited by excursion boat. Boats also run to Patmos for the day. This is a pastoral island, green and rural, where you can completely relax and forget the world outside. Gentle Leros has a heavily indented coastline, resulting in plenty of sheltered coves and bays. These made Leros an attractive anchorage in WW2, and the Battle of Leros is commemorated here every September. Leros Inland, there are a surprising number of traditional villages for such a small island, as well as Crusader castles and Byzantine chapels to discover. There are three beaches within the wide sweep of Alinda Bay and quiet Krithoni is the middle one. To the north is the small resort of Alinda; to the south the attractive little port of Ayia Marina, above which is the handsome capital Platanos topped by a Knight s castle. Leros is an untouristic, very friendly and genuine island worthy of exploration, and one where you can still often find a small beach or cove to yourself. Lipsi Leros LIPSI & LEROS INFORMATION Getting to Lipsi & Leros Wednesday flights from Gatwick and a range of regional airports to Kos. Then taxi to port (20 mins) and high speed ferry to Leros (90 mins) and Lipsi (2 hrs. ticket included). Short transfer to accommodation. On your return the reverse applies. Based on last year s ferry connections it will probably be necessary to overnight in Kos on arrival and/or departure and this will be prebooked in a BB hotel with all additional transfers provided. Representative We do not have a representative on Karpathos. The hoteliers will happily provide local information and our main agent in Rhodes can always be contacted. Multi-Centre Options Lipsi and Leros and a perfect combination as they are contrasting and only 20 mins apart by ferry.

Greece Dodecanese Other Islands Other Dodecanese Islands see www.sunvil.co.uk for details Rhodes Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese and the most popular, as the island enjoys one of the best sunshine records in the Med. and a string of fine sandy beaches. It also boasts one of the best preserved medieval cities in the world in Rhodes Old Town. Here the Crusading Knights of St. John had their headquarters for over 200 years, and it is their silent presence that holds sway still. Cava D Oro Hotel (3 Stars, B/B) This 800 year old building is in what was once the Jewish Quarter of the Old City. Although in a quiet corner beneath the walls, you can walk to the main square in less than five minutes. The Cava D'Oro combines character and modern comforts with an atmospheric location. Kassos For those who recall visiting the smaller Greek islands 30 years ago, this welcoming traditional island will bring back memories of how things used to be! Lying just a few miles off Karpathos' south western tip, rocky Kassos is one of the remoter islands of the Dodecanese and little visited. The capital is called Fry (pronounced 'free'). It is a little scruffy but overwhelmingly friendly, and has a most attractive fishing harbour. Real Greece at her best! Hotel Anagennisis (2 Star, B/B) This traditional Greek harbour hotel has been recently renovated and offers simple accommodation overlooking Fry's small port. Fry is a small place and you will find all amenities of the village within a few minutes walk. There is a small pebble beach a 5 minute walk away, and a better one at Emborios in 15 minutes. Kastellorizo Kastellorizo is the most south-easterly island of the Dodecanese and one of the smallest. It lies very close to Turkey the town of Kas is but 3 miles across the strait. The main port is called Mandraki. A natural horseshoe-shaped harbour, Kastellorizo (like Symi and Halki) enjoyed a wealthy sea-faring past, as is reflected in its handsome neoclassical harbour mansions now slowly being restored. Kastellorizo Hotel (3 Stars, B/B) Located directly above the sea on the quiet side of Kastellorizo's harbour, this small boutique-style hotel offers 14 rooms housed in five separate buildings, all traditionally furnished with care and taste. The majority have front or side sea views over the harbour to the pastel-shaded houses which line the waterfront opposite and the mountain behind. Nissyros Atmospheric Nissyros is distinguished by the pair of large volcanic craters at its centre which are still active (the last eruption was in 1888!) and a variety of walking trails offer fabulous views over these to neighbouring islands. You can explore the moonlike crater floor and its bubbling mud pools. Legend has it that the seismic sound effects are the groaning of a giant defeated in battle by Poseidon! Porfyris Hotel (2 Stars, B/B) Quietly located close to Mandraki's attractive central square, the Porfyris has 38 comfortable rooms and fine views over the port to the sea. Facilities include a large swimming pool, particularly welcome to those who have spent the day exploring the volcano. Astypalea Fashionable, remote Astypalea feels more Cycladic than other islands in the Dodecanese, due to its whitewashed Hora, one of the most striking in the Aegean and crowned by the inevitable Kastro. Livadia, in the next bay, is a fine beach, wide and long, but avoid August when the island is heaving! Has a ferry link with Amorgos. Astypalea Palace (4 Star Boutique Hotel, B/B) Surprisingly luxurious small hotel at the top of the town a short walk from the atmospheric old town. The rooms are like mini-suites, lushly furnished with all mod cons and great sea and Hora views. A small plunge pool completes the picture. Car hire recommended. Kos The third largest island in the Dodecanese, Kos has managed to balance catering for tourists interests without losing its identity as an island steeped in history and blessed with natural beauty. Certainly you will find beach resorts but just as easily you can discover secluded bays and traditional villages. Kos Town is elegant and historic, as evidenced by its large Agora and the Asklepieion where Hippocrates himself practised medicine. Alexandra City Hotel (3 Stars, B/B) Centrally located in Kos Town, the Alexander is extremely well placed for exploration as it is a just few minutes' walk from all the main attractions and 10 minutes from the start of the long town beach should you need a dip to cool off. 228 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece Saronic Islands Saronic Islands The islands of the Argo-Saronic, to give them their full title, run south from Athens and hug the sheltered shoreline of the eastern Peloponnese. They are the easiest islands to get to from Athens as they have a frequent and fast hydrofoil/catamaran service running from Piraeus, and as such do get busy at weekends and in high season with Athenians and foreign tourists alike. The closest (Aegina) can take just 40 minutes to reach; the furthest (Spetses) 2 hrs 15 mins. Although all the Saronics are different they do have certain common characteristics. Here aromatic pine trees dominate more than olives, often running down to a rocky shoreline. There are sandy beaches but more often you will find many smaller shingle beaches and coves dotted around the coastline. The sea, is sparklingly clear everywhere. Architecture is handsome, including elegant sea captain's mansions (especially on Hydra). Red-tiled roofs predominate rather than the flat Cycladic style. These islands, being so near one another and easily reached from Piraeus, work very well as a twin-centre or island hopping itinerary or in combination with a short stay in Athens at the start. They have a long season and holidays can be arranged from the start of April to the end of October. Tiny Agistri (55 mins from Piraeus), at just 13 sq kms in size, is the smallest of the chain and often overlooked. But the island packs a punch far greater than its size. Agistri is heavily forested - in fact over 80% of the island is pine-covered. Easy walking is an attraction - there is nothing very steep (the highest point is 245m) and 3 walking paths have now been opened up, with more to come. There are only three settlements on Agistri, linked by a bus. Skala is where most visitors stay, thanks to its spit of sandy beach overlooked by a bluedomed church. For such a small place Skala has a very wide choice of tavernas, cafes and small shops. There is plenty to do - the waters around Agistri are turquoise-hued and very clear, so perfect for snorkeling (the bay of Aponisi in the south has Caribbean-like waters). Aegina can be reached in just 10 minutes by sea-taxi or hydrofoil, and you can easily visit Athens for the day. Horse riding, bike hire, sea kayaking, diving and boat excursions (including to the mainland Peloponnese and fishing trips) are on offer. Lastly Agistri is very good value and prices are reasonable. Friendly, laid-back, genuine and very Greek, Agistri is a secret that you will not regret discovering. Agistri On fashionable, upmarket Hydra (90 mins from Piraeus) all forms of private motorised transport are banned - the only way around is on foot, by boat or on a mule! The main town and port is one of the most beautiful in Greece, with preserved neo-classical mansions, whitewashed village houses and narrow cobbled lanes climbing steeply up from the horse-shoe shaped harbour. The whole is preserved as a national monument. The mansions date from the 18th century and are a reminder of Hydra s prosperous past. The bustling port is at its best in the evenings, when the quayside twinkles with cafés, small shops, bars and atmospheric restaurants. Although rocky, Hydra has some good beaches some pebble, some sand, some backed by pines, some with a taverna or two. Outside the hotter periods walking is an attraction, and a network of signed paths offers plenty of variety. Non-walking options include mule-treks and the hire of a water-taxi for private use. This magical island has been home to well-known artists and writers over the years. Although Hydra today receives plenty of visitors, the island has retained its small island charm and traditions, including many festivals. Agistri coastline Saronic Islands Information Getting to Agistri, Hydra and Spetses Flights from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Manchester and Edinburgh to Athens. 1 hour taxi to Piraeus port for high speed cat or hydrofoil to the island (included - see descriptions for length of journey). Onward transfer to your accommodation on Agistri and Spetses. Transfers on Hydra are not provided as the hotels are close to the port but porters meet the boat if required. On your return the reverse applies. Spetses Agistri Salamina Methana Hydra Aegina Poros ATHENS Spetses (2hrs 15mins from Piraeus) is known as a retreat for the well-heeled Greeks (of which there remain more than you may think!), as evidenced by the discreet walled villas and glitzy yachts in the marina. Spetses Town is most attractive, with whitewashed bougainvillea-strewn mansions, wide piazzas and a pretty old harbour called Dapia. As on Hydra cars are banned, so transportation is provided by horsedrawn carriage, bicycles, water-taxis and many buzzing mopeds. Taxis and two local buses also run. There is a serviceable town beach, and also sandy Kaiki at the town's western end. Both can be busy in season but it is not difficult to find quieter beaches further afield. Only 10 miles square, Spetses has a circular road running around the island, giving access to various beaches, the best being in the south. Walking trails run through the centre, passing through pine forests and beside ancient chapels on the way. The Greek heroine, Laskarina Bouboulina, was born here and led a tremendous fight against the Turkish fleet in 1821. Her life is commemorated in a little museum here. The naval festival over the second weekend of September re-enacts the battle with a famously spectacular event, for which the island is packed. Multi-Centre Options All three featured islands are easy to combine - there is a minimum stay of 3 nights on each. All can be combined with Athens, or tailor-made with a wide variety of options - mainland fly-drive, Cycladic islands, and any island served by ferry or domestic flight from Athens (which is most of them!). Representatives We do not employ our own representatives on these islands and transfers are unescorted. Our hotels should be able to give any information required. We do have a local agent on Spetses and our main agents in Athens can always be contacted if required. 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk Greece & Cyprus 229

Greece Saronic Islands Oasis Hotel Agistri The Oasis must be the best located hotel on Agistri. It is directly on Skala's sandy beach, and just a couple of minutes' easy walk from the centre of the village and a wide choice of tavernas, cafes and small shops. The hotel has 25 rooms, either above the pool or the small garden to the rear. They are furnished in a classic style with iron beds (mostly doubles) and pretty decor.

Greece Saronic Islands Hydroussa Hotel Hydra The Hydroussa enjoys a very convenient location an easy 2-3 minute walk back from the harbour with no hills to climb. It is a 3-storey building designed in the attractive island style and looks over Votsi square to the front. The 40 rooms here are all twinbedded and possess AC, TV, minifridge and shower room. Furnishings are simple and traditional in flavour. Due to the age of this large former mansion rooms do not have balcony but most are spacious. The lovely courtyard garden to the front has tables and chairs, and breakfast can be taken here. WiFi is available in public areas. A very well-priced hotel for Hydra, a little dated in places but comfortable, well kept with some character and in a great location. We can also arrange stays in an upmarket mansion hotel - see website for details. The Hotel: 3 Stars Bed & Breakfast Spetses Town Economou Mansion Spetses Standing above the narrow seafront road, this restored sea captain's mansion dates from 1851 and has just six cosily furnished rooms. Carefully converted to preserve its character the hotel is a 10 minute walk above the sea from the centre and Dapia harbour. All rooms possess traditional iron double bed, high wooden ceiling, AC, WiFi, mini-fridge, safety deposit box, tea-making facilities and a walk-in shower. The studios also have light cooking facilities. Due to the age of the building there are no balconies, but most have sea views through their window and one studio has an outdoor sea view patio in the garden to one side. There is a delightfully furnished lounge, and a swimming pool (8m x 5m) in a walled garden area.

Greece Hidden Greece Mainland Fly-Drive Hidden Greece A fly-drive holiday on the mainland offers the opportunity to discover some of the most beautiful areas of Greece. The richness of the history, scenery and interest here is vast. A flydrive allows you to explore areas rarely featured in holiday brochures, and will well reward the more independent traveller in search of more adventure than the normal holiday provides. Kastoria Edessa Xanthi Alexandroupoulis Kavala THESSALONIKI Olymbiada Lefkas Papingo Metsovon Meteora Ioannina Kalambaka Sivota Parga Preveza Koryschades Mt Olympus Volos The Pelion Mt Athos We have designed these holidays to be as flexible as possible.

Nafpaktos Prices are based on two persons sharing a twin room and include flights, BB hotels (usually 3 star) and car hire. We will willingly quote for odd durations; for holidays into Athens and out of Thessaloniki, or v.v.; for itineraries with accommodation for only part of the time; for a combination of a fly-drive with some of the islands and resorts featured in this brochure.

Greece Hidden Greece Mainland Fly-Drive Olympia Mani Monemvasia ( Bob Gibbons) The Peloponnese We do not believe you could find an area more perfect for a touring holiday than the Peloponnese. It encapsulates the very best of Greece, where the country s history, landscape and culture come together in a heady cocktail. The birthplace of Greek mythology (the name literally means island of Pelops ) the Peloponnese is home to a plethora of archaeological sites. The north lays claim to the most well known Olympia, Epidavros and Mycenae to name but three (and, linked by tollbridge across the Corinthian Gulf, Delphi can also be easily included in an itinerary). In the south Nestor s Palace, near Pylos, is the stuff of Homeric legend but you are liable to stumble across lesser-known sites almost anywhere. More recent history is evident throughout the Peloponnese, from Byzantine Mystras and fortified Methoni in the south to Venetian Nafplion and the Corinth Canal in the north. Castles, monasteries and chapels abound there is always somewhere to explore. Scenically the entire peninsular is stunning and often mountainous. We take the word Arcadian from its central region, a beautiful area of lush valleys and hilltop medieval villages. Dimitsana is one of these villages, high on the mountain with glorious views over the Lousios Gorge to the plains below. A 75km walking trail has recently opened up here see www.menalontrail.eu. From here Olympia is a two hour drive, a much more interesting approach than from the coastal motorway. Another area not to be missed is the central southern finger called Mani. Serious mountains loom over a rugged landscape, lush at the top end, harsh and unforgiving in the south, noted for its distinctive tower villages and hidden painted chapels. Elsewhere forests and mountains combine to give an alpine flavour, and the chance to purchase some exceptional wild honey! Other attractions include one of Europe s largest cave systems at Diros in Mani (you get taken through them by punt!); the charming rack and pinion railway from Diakofto on the north coast via dizzy gorges and tunnels to Kalavrita up the mountain; the fortified medieval town of Monemvasia; and the wine-growing regions around Nemea. But there are plenty of relaxation opportunities too. The Peloponnese is technically an island, divided from the mainland by the Corinth Canal which means it is surrounded by a very clean, sparkling sea with beaches to match those on any of the islands but, in the main, without the accompanying crowds. In addition the Peloponnese is as traditionally Greek as you can get, and in the old farming and fishing villages rural life continues as it has done for centuries. We do of course feature resort-based holidays in both north and south and you can see and do much from a stay-put base. A touring holiday, however, enables you to explore in your own time and discover parts other holidays simply cannot reach! Itilon, Mani Mystras 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk Greece & Cyprus 233

Greece Hidden Greece Mainland Fly-Drive Mikro Papingo Zagori National Park Vikos Epirus & Zagori Epirus occupies Greece s north-western corner and is spectacularly beautiful. Largely mountainous, with three peaks of 2500m plus, it is (once away from the coast) one of Greece s most remote regions, and centuries-old traditions, fast-vanishing in many other areas, still flourish here. The Epirot coast is featured elsewhere in this brochure, in the form of Parga and Sivota. But the heart of this fascinating area is inland. Here are the mighty peaks of the Pindos, forests, rivers, lakes, gorges, meadows, preserved stone villages, some 1700 species of flora, and a wildlife which includes wolves and bears. The Vlach shepherds in the high Pindos still speak a form of Latin. The capital of the region is the high lakeside town of Ioannina. Under Ottoman rule until less than a century ago, it has retained a flavour of the east. Above Ioannina, the large village of Metsovo straddles the mountain pass between Epirus and Thessaly, en route to the Meteora. You could be in the Alps here, and is a good place to buy mountain herbs and honey. To the north of Ioannina is the region called Zagori, a National Park covering an area of over 1000 sq kms. The villages here are famous throughout Greece some 46 preserved stone settlements with a stunning mountain backdrop. Micro Papingo shelters below a dramatic craggy outcrop. It is a fabulous base for hiking. Not far away is the Vikos Gorge, one of the longest in Europe and which certainly rivals more famous Samaria (and is considerably less busy). It is also easy to combine Epirus with a week or two by the sea in Lefkas, Meganissi, Parga or Sivota, or even a sailing holiday please call for a costing. Dias House Mikro Papingo Dias House is a traditional stone B&B guesthouse in Mikro Papingo, high in the mountains in the heart of the Zagori National Park. It has just 12 cozy rooms, all with ensuite shower. The owner, Kostas, used to be a mountain guide so the hotel is popular with walkers. As with his rooms the restaurant here offers excellent unfussy meals (and substantial portions!) plus good local wine. Between Mikro Papingo and the larger village of Megalo Papingo, 3 kms down the road, are some rock pools where you can swim. Highly recommended. We can also offer accommodation in Ioannina and Metsovo for those on fly-drive itineraries.

Greece Hidden Greece Mainland Fly-Drive Ancient Philippi Thessaloniki Northern and Central Greece Mountains and plains make up the bulk of central and northern Greece. The main draw in central Greece is of course Delphi not only the most important ancient site in Greece but one of the most dramatically sited, on the slopes of steep Parnassos and boasting glorious views to the sea. After Delphi, the other must-see is the Meteora, the collective name for some half-dozen monasteries dating from the 14th century and perched unfeasibly on the top of sheer pinnacles of rock ( Meteora means rocks in the air ). They are an extraordinary sight, and have even starred in a James Bond film! The small town below, Kalambaka, is where most visitors stay, but we prefer the more villagey feel of Kastraki just up the road. Between Delphi and Meteora is the Pelion, one of the most naturally beautiful areas of Greece. The peninsular is well covered elsewhere in this brochure and it goes without saying that a visit is highly recommended. If you want to visit the Meteora for the day, it can be reached from Volos in approx. 2 hours drive, as the road is fast (part-motorway) and flat. Continuing north the coastal highway passes beneath the shadow of Mount Olympus, at 2917m Greece s highest peak and legendary home of the gods. For those who d like to walk or explore the area we d recommend a stay in the hillside village of Ambelakia a little to the south, which has an authentic mountain village feel yet quick access to the main road below. Macedonia was Alexander s domain. The capital Thessaloniki is now a thriving modern metropolis with a fascinating past evidenced by the many monuments and sites in the heart of the city the archaeological museum is a highlight, as is a trip to Philip s tomb at Vergina. Western Macedonian attractions include sites such as Dion and Pella, cliff-top Edessa with its waterfall, the handsome lakeside town of Kastoria, and the Prespa Lakes for anyone with an interest in ornithology. To the south Halkidiki is famous for the holy mountain Athos, and for stunning white-sand beaches backed by pine forests. Our chosen bolt-hole here is the small village of Olymbiada, tucked away from the crowds in the north-east corner see resort pages for details. To the east, the main draw is the UNESCO World Heritage site of Philippi near Kavala, where St Paul began his European mission. Thrace borders Bulgaria and Turkey the small town of Xanthi is a fascinating melting-pot of cultures and worth a stop, especially if you can be there for the bustling Saturday morning market. Alexandroupolis in the far east is recommended as a base for ornithologists, as it is next to the Evros Delta, and you can also drive to Dadia forest which has a raptor reserve.

Overnight Olympia Hotel (Thessaloniki). Day 3 Thessaloniki is probably the best place in Greece for shopping with many fashionable boutiques and quaint craft workshops.

Overnight Olympia Hotel (Thessaloniki). Day 4 Your car will be delivered (local delivery charge 16) for your drive to Veria (1 hr).

Greece Athens Athens Always vibrant, this 24-hour city is an intriguing mix of east and west, history and modernity, bustle and culture. Athens contains treasures that really should be seen at least once, and a few nights here can easily be included in our fly-drive or tailor-made holidays. The 2004 Olympic Games meant substantial investment in Athens infrastructure (new airport, roads, transport systems), upgrading of museums and historical sites, and significant hotel refurbishment. We have selected a range of hotels, mainly within our favoured district of Makriyianni, as it is just a short walk from both the Acropolis, the splendid new Acropolis Museum and the atmospheric 19th century Plaka district, now largely pedestrianised. Athens also has organised beaches the nearest can be reached by tram from the centre in about half-an-hour. Wherever you stay, a wide range of guided excursions can be had, the most popular being the half-day city tour, full day Delphi and full day Argolis (Mycenae and Epidavros). All can be pre-booked. Three and four day Classical Tours are also available. For a full list of tours please enquire or see our website. Athens is also the embarkation point for a range of 3, 4, 7 and 14 night cruises to the Aegean islands, Turkey and Egypt - choose from popular itineraries on a larger ship taking in the most famous islands or a more intimate small ship/mega-yacht cruise visiting some of the lesser-known. A cruise can be easily tailored into a longer holiday. Please call for details. For a brief taste of Athens (including of course the Acropolis) the city can also be visited as part of an excursion from our resort of Tolon (overnight stay possible). A few nights in the city can also be included in any holiday booked via Athens Airport e.g. to Hydra or Andros, only 90 mins and 2 hours by ferry respectively. Central Athens Hotels Herodion Hotel roof-terrace View from Royal Olympic Panorama room Although we can book any hotel in Athens we have selected those which over the years we have found to be comfortable, central and not too noisy. All are within a short walk of a metro station and 10 minutes from the Acropolis and Plaka (except Pan Hotel). All hotels possess air-conditioning, tv and minibar. Our holidays to Athens are based on flights from Heathrow, Manchester or Gatwick and include taxi transfers. Our chosen 5 Star hotel is the recently renovated Royal Olympic. The hotel has an excellent location just across the road from the Temple of Zeus. The hotel has well appointed rooms, roof restaurant and outdoor pool. The Herodion is a good 4 Star hotel. It has a restaurant and bar, and some rooms have fine Acropolis views as do the roofgarden jacuzzis (free for Sunvil guests!). Also 4 star, and not far from the Herodion, is the Hera Hotel, a most stylish boutique-style hotel (38 rooms only) of a very high standard. If you want a balcony guaranteed book a Junior Suite, which has Acropolis views. The hotel has a roof-garden restaurant. The Philippos and Acropolis Select (both 3 star) combine good modern standards with a small and friendly atmosphere. The Pan Hotel is a comfortable 3 Star just a minute s walk from Syntagma Square. You could not really be more central than this. As flight prices vary so much depending on season and when you book, we will quote prices for Athens short breaks and holidays on request. 238 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece Thessaloniki Thessaloniki We'd highly recommend a few nights in Thessaloniki at the beginning or end of your holiday to Halkidiki, which is very easy for us to arrange. In many ways Thessaloniki feels like a big, modern, waterfront city, the second largest in Greece and with a far more cosmopolitan vibe than Athens. There are major shopping streets, lively laneways, a university with 150,000 students and a vast selection of restaurants and cafes. It is also a city with a turbulent past, a profound history of intertwined cultures, and a lasting legacy from its place at the very crossroads between East and West. Founded in 315 B.C. Thessaloniki was named after a half-sister of Alexander the Great. Since then, the city has been dominated by whichever empire was in power, from Byzantium to Ottoman. You can explore several Paleochristian sites, the remains of a Roman market and theatre, Byzantine city walls and an 8th century copy of the Agia Sophia in Constantinople, the emblematic White Tower, and crowded alleyways and hamams (bath houses). This mix of cultures comes alive in regards to food. Thessaloniki is renowned as the gourmet capital of Greece, with a cuisine that fuses Mediterranean, Balkan and Turkish sensibilities. Thessaloniki is a city made for walking. Take an evening stroll (volta) along the waterfront, perhaps ending up in the narrow alleys of old Ladadika, home to a buzzing nightlife of authentic street restaurants and bars; visit one of the city s thirty (30!) museums; take the bus to the Ano Poli (Old City) and from the very top look down upon the bustling city and glimpse, in the distance, across the sea, Mount Olympus itself.. Central Thessaloniki Hotels Excelsior Hotel We have hand-picked a small number of hotels for their combination of good modern standards and a handy central location with value for money. They are suitable for short or long stays. The Excelsior Hotel - boutique 5 Star of 34 rooms in a wonderfully restored building close to the central Aristotelous Square. The rooms manage to perfectly combine modernity and proper 5 star comfort with neoclassical features and the original design. The Bristol, a member of Yades Historic Hotels and also 5 stars, is in the historical Ladadika district a 10 minute walk from the centre. Converted from a beautiful neoclassical building, the rooms are very spacious and richly furnished in a Classic style. The hotel supplies vintage bicycles for free use on the nearby seafront promenade. The Olympia Hotel is a 3 Star which has been renovated to a modern minimalist style. The hotel has an enviable location overlooking the old Roman Agora. Althogut quiet here away from the main roads you are just a short 5 minute walk away from Aristotelous Square. The Park Hotel is 3 minutes walk further along the same street and also 3 stars. It too has a Roman site (part excavated) to the front. Its 56 rooms have a clean modern style. Good location and well priced. We can arrange short or long stays with taxi transfers. As flight prices vary so much please ask us for a quote. Private Walking Tour There is no better way to get under the skin of a city than on foot, and Thessaloniki is perfect as most of its major historical attractions are contained within a relatively small area. A walking tour can be prebooked from any of our city hotels. Your personal guide will meet you at your hotel and the tour will include all the main monuments (many of them listed by UNESCO) including The White Tower, the Roman forum, the Rotunda, Galerius Arch, palace ruins, medieval towers and modest Byzantine churches hiding rare treasures - all of which will give you an insight into this fascinating melting-pot of a city that once belonged almost equally to Jews, Greeks, Ottomans and refugees from Asia Minor to name a few. Cost: 65 per person (minimum 2) Duration: 3 hours Included: English speaking guide Not included: Entrance fees (namely The White Tower Museum 4 pp), shoe leather Arch of Galerius Park Hotel 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk Greece & Cyprus 239

Albania Albania Albania is now opening up to tourism and a visit here offers a fascinating insight into a country that was closed to the world for much of the twentieth century. Albania is a beautiful and historic land with a most welcoming people. She has one of the oldest flags and tongues in Europe, and preserves traditions and culture unadulterated by the outside world for centuries. Her long coastline is washed by the Ionian and Adriatic sea and hides some wonderful beaches. The mountain scenery is stunning; not for nothing do the Albanians know their land as Shqiperia - Land of the Eagles. Here was ancient Illyria; and here too that great Roman road, the Via Egnatia, began its long march east to Constantinople. Some scars of the past remain - notably the many infamous concrete bunkers - but these are insignificant compared to Albania's many treasures and natural beauty. Our cultural tour will show you much of what the south has to offer. Built on top of a Roman port (which surfaces here and there) Saranda is today a large modern town of some 33,000 inhabitants. Saranda is set in a beautiful horse-shoe bay, fringed with pebble beaches and has lovely views to northern Corfu. The town has an attractive palm-lined promenade and there are many restaurants, cafes and shops, all of which give a warm welcome. On a hill above the town 16th century Lekursi Castle is worth a visit for the views alone, and you can dine there. Saranda is a very good base for exploration and has two UNESCO World Heritage sites within striking distance. Ancient Butrint is just a 20 minute to the south and should be seen. The atmospheric and historic small town of Gjirokastra is an hour's drive to the north east, and en route you can pass by the unusual Blue Eye spring. For some fine beaches not too far from town, go to Ksamili near Butrint. It is a 15-20 minute bus or taxi ride and has a number of pretty small bays and beaches, and several islets just off-shore which you can be taken to by boat. The Albanian Riviera to the north enables a stunningly scenic drive high above the sea, passing close to a number of traditional villages. The road has been improved and it now takes only an hour to the small beach resort of Himara, where you can have lunch and a swim. This is one of the last significant stretches of undeveloped coastline in the Med. Albania is still rough around the edges so do not expect the sophistication and service you are used to receiving in countries that have been hosting north Europeans for years. Although on a fast learning curve, Albania is still one of the poorest countries in Europe, so you will need to go with an open mind. That said, we believe a week here followed by a week at one of our Greece resorts makes for an intriguing and contrasting holiday experience. Saranda ALBANIA INFORMATION Getting to Albania Sunday flight Gatwick, Birmingham or Manchester to Preveza. Then 2½-3 hours by taxi (please note, on arrival will be one taxi from the airport to the Greek/Albanian border and another taxi from the border to Saranda. The return will be one taxi all the way Saranda to airport (or Greek resort if twin centre). An entry visa is not required for UK passport holders. For flight details see page 270. Multi Centre Options Albania can combine with Lefkas, Meganissi, Parga, Sivota, Hidden Greece Fly Drive. Transfer times Saranda to Parga or Sivota c 2 hrs. Lefkas and Meganissi transfers will be via the airport. For multi-centre information see page 8. Car Hire Please enquire for prices. Representative We have a local agent in Saranda who can give any information and assistance required. General Albania is 1 hour ahead of the UK, so 1 hour behind Greece. Main towns have ATMs and the local currency is the Lek, but there are restrictions on taking Lek out of the country and may be difficult for exchange so we'd recommend taking the bulk of your spending money in the form of low denomination Euros, which are widely accepted, and try not to be left with wads of Lek on the last day. Prices are generally lower than in Greece (we estimate by c 20%). Recommended Reading Albania by Gillian Gloyer in the Bradt Travel; Guide series.

Albania Saranda Hotels We can arrange stays in Saranda at selected 3 star hotels on a bed and breakfast basis. The Brilant Hotel is set a little back from the seafront road/promenade and an organised pebble beach. It is a modern, comfortable town hotel with good views from its upper floors and just a few minutes walk from the centre. The Sea Side Hotel is a little further out, again with fine views from the upper floors and, especially, the stylish roof terrace bar. It is a 3 minute walk down to the pebble beach and you will find a good choice of restaurants within a short walk of the hotel. Based on flights to Prevesa with taxi transfers we can book 7 or 14 night stays, twin centres with Greece, or short stays in conjunction with a main Greece holiday.

Important and impressive Greco-Roman city, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, south of Saranda on a bluff of land half-circled by a large lake. Inhabited continuously from the 7th C BC until abandoned in 18th C. Impressive cyclopean walls and deep well within the gate, reminiscent of Mycenae but most excavated remains are Roman. Gjirokaster. This fascinating and historic small town is also on UNESCO s World Heritage list. Largely medieval, with some lovely architecture to admire reflecting the town s wealthy past, it is built on a hill overlooking valley and mountains. Excellent views from the large castle above, which houses a weapons museum! Some good restaurants in the narrow cobbled lanes of the old town. Berat. Another member of the UNESCO club, Berat is called the town of a thousand eyes because of the many-windowed old houses that crowd above the river Osrum and up the hill. High along the ridge is a 14th C citadel, its walls enclosing no fewer that fourteen small painted churches (hence the presence of the famous Onufri icon museum). The Turkish influence may be seen in the town s three mosques and tekke, also worth visiting. Ardenica. 12th C monastery converted into an inn, it occupies the whole of a rocky outcrop amid pine and cypress trees and is a landmark visible for miles across the plain. The church, dedicated to the Virgin, is characteristically Greek, and has a magnificent iconostasis and high-quality wall-paintings. Apollonia. Another most important archaeological site. Founded in 588 BC by Greeks from Corinth, it rose to become a renowned cultural centre in the Roman period. Memorable are the elegant façade of the Bouleuterion and the great Stoa. Below stands the beautiful 13th C church of Shenmari, built out of the antique stone.

Turkey Turkey Two countries and two cultures in one holiday! We have selected two contrasting areas of Turkey's Aegean coast which combine easily with certain Greek islands to give an intriguing holiday experience. Do go prepared for an early morning wakeup 'call to prayer' from the local mosque though! Please enquire for twin centre prices. Kusadasi is a large vibrant town which is today a thriving tourist centre. The big attraction here is Ephesus. This world class site is some 20 kms out of Kusadasi and is a must-see. But there is much more to explore. Kusadasi is a great centre from which to discover the cultural and archaeological riches of western Turkey, including ancient Christian sites such as the House of the Virgin Mary, Roman Pamukkale with its calcified bathing pools, ancient Priene and nearby Miletus and Didyma. For a break from all the culture try Dilek National Park (also called Milli) with its hiking trails, beautiful forests, wild boar and beaches, a half-hour dolmus ride from Kusadasi (a dolmus is the wonderful Turkish public minibus service - frequent, efficient and very inexpensive). Kusadasi itself has everything you would expect - sandy beaches, many hotels, restaurant and cafes, shopping and a bustling bazaar. An excellent dolmus service runs just about everywhere, making getting out and about easy and cheap. You will certainly not run out of things to do! Akyaka at the head of Gokova Bay 184 kms to the south could hardly be more different. With steep pine clad hills to one side and a vast plain to the other, it is a lush natural paradise, small and peaceful for much of the year (it does get busy in season with domestic tourism). The buildings are in the attractive Mugla architectural style. But Akyaka's distinctive feature is the fast flowing Azmak river which runs to one side. Restaurants here are a good place from which to observe not only the fast-moving (in one direction!) ducks but also kingfishers and terrapins. Small riverboat trips are a big attraction here, and there is good walking to be had in the area (local walking guidebook/map available). Boat trips also run to Cleopatra's island and the ancient city of Cedreae to be found there. Akyaka is also known for kite-surfing. The village has a Blue Flag sandy beach, organised with sunbeds, and a very shallow sea. The beach does get busy in peak so it is worth finding alternatives such as lovely Cinar, a 45 minute walk through a forest of eucalyptus. Akyaka has some 20 restaurants and a fair number of small hotels, but retains its laid back village atmosphere. A really relaxing and charming little spot, authentically Turkish and untouched by overseas mass tourism. TURKEY INFORMATION Getting to Turkey KUSADASI Either via Samos (90 mins ferry & short onward transfer) or with direct flights to Izmir (Adnan) Airport (1 hour transfer) AKYAKA Either via Rhodes (90 mins ferry to Marmaris & 1 hour onward transfer) or with direct flights to Dalaman Airport (1 hour transfer) Representative We have a local agent in each area who will meet and transfer you, book cars/trips and give local information.

Turkey Villa Konak Kusadasi A quiet oasis in the heart of old Kusadasi, this lovely little hotel offers charm, comfort and great hospitality, all within a five minute walk up the hill from the bustling centre and harbour. The modest entrance belies what you will find inside. The design is from a traditional inn, built around a spacious and beautiful garden. The 17 rooms here are mostly doublebedded and very cosily furnished in the Ottoman style. All possess both AC and a ceiling fan, sat TV, fridge and a modern shower room. Safes are available at reception. Junior Suites/Family Rooms have a living room area and sofa-bed. There are no balconies but you are spoilt for choice in the shaded garden, on the sunterrace or under the cool arches by reception with seating, deck chairs and even a hammock. To the rear is a 50 sq m pool and covered terrace with snacks, complimentary coffee and an honesty bar. Here the family, who speak excellent English, invite all guests to afternoon tea with home made cakes every afternoon - free of charge. Really a home from home. Note: the hotel does not accept children under 6 years of age. Kusadasi The Hotel: Traditional Hotel Bed & Breakfast Swimming Pool Kusadasi Ottoman Konak Ottoman Palace & Ottoman Konak Akyaka These sister-hotels have lawns leading down to the river. Both are traditionally designed (lots of wood) and richly furnished. The Palace's 40 rooms lead off an internal courtyard. Standard double rooms all possess AC plus a fan, sat TV, mini-bar, tea-making facility, hairdryer, room safe (local charge), shower room, and balcony with garden, mountain or river views. Please note the hotel has no lift. The ground floor houses restaurant, lounge and bar, and opens onto the large pool area to the front (towels provided). Garden furniture is placed on the lawns above the river. The Konak is similar in nearly all respects but, with just 18 rooms, smaller and more intimate. It is a higher category and beautifully done, with antiques, rugs and traditional tiles much in evidence. The hotels are 400m to 600m from the beach, have their own boat for river trips and offer a daily free bus to Cinar beach.

Cyprus Introduction Our chosen regions Polis and Akamas Deserted beaches, a wild coastline, traditional villages, stupendous views and dramatic sunsets are here in abundance for those who want a more profound experience of the island. Akamas National Park is an unspoiled treasure trove of rare plants and migratory birds. Pages 246-253 Paphos Region Paphos is composed of contrasting elements. For some, a place of dark golden sand beaches, nightclubs, spa hotels and harbour strolls. For others, a place of Roman mosaics, fallen monuments, village hideaways, secret catacombs and Byzantine hermitages. Pages 253-257 Limassol Region Lying between the ancient kingdoms of Curium and Amathus, Limassol is an extensive and cosmopolitan resort that is also a real working town. Explore an abundance of beaches, the foothills of the Troodos, a Crusader castle, and the splendour of Mycenean Kourion. Pages 258-259 Larnaca Region Within easy reach are so many of the elements that characterise Cyprus: splendid beaches, a diverse and historic town, exceptional archaeological sites and a smattering of picturesque stone villages that seem to have grown organically from the land. Pages 259-262 Troodos Mountains A region of tranquil valleys and vaunting peaks, snowtipped in winter, flowerdecked in spring and fruitfilled in autumn. In the height of summer, its coolness beckons: hiking trails, cherry blossom, the crested hoopoe, frescoes, waterfalls and vinecovered tavernas. Pages 262-264 Nicosia Region Enclosed within its formidable Venetian bulwarks, the old medieval town seems to have a separate existence from the encircling urban sprawl. Inside its walls, find an historic fusion of Gothic and Ottoman buildings, hidden courtyards, filigree balconies and twisting streets. Pages 264 Pafos 2017 European City of Culture The city of Paphos has been named the European City of Culture in 2017 Pafos 2017. There are a great many events planned in Paphos and all over the island throughout the year.

Cyprus is an island for all seasons: with its short, mild winter and mountain snow, the glorious swathes of spring-time flora, the deep, burnishing heat of summer, and the mellow warmth of the island s long autumn. The island s coastline is shared between long popular beaches, tumbling headlands and hidden coves. As ever, the majority of tourists gather where it s most convenient, happy to bask in the inexhaustible sun and the boundless Cypriot hospitality, so it takes a mere step away to encounter the real Cyprus of small villages, age-old customs, and an almost undisturbed wealth of historic remains. At every point the sea beckons, dazzling, warm and enchanting. Inland, it can feel as if you have passed into another century, with sleepy villages nestling in the folds of the Troodos Mountain, amidst goats, olive groves, lemon trees and wild flowers, while groups of seated men contemplate life from beneath the fabled tree of idleness. Painted churches and dramatically positioned monasteries dot the landscape. The island invites exploration. A land so varied yet in such a compact space, with such differences in geography and cultural influences, is a perfect setting for the more independently-minded traveller. Ever helpful, the Cypriots even drive on the left-hand side of the road! Desired by Phoenicians and Greeks, Romans and Venetians, Ottomans and the British, Cyprus is but a four and a half hour flight from the UK. Once described as a huge archaeological site, it still retains a timeless physical beauty. The beach will beckon, the sun will shine, the sea will be a depthless blue, but it will be the landscape and the people who steal your heart.

Cyprus Itineraries Itinerary 10 days / 9 nights An Open-Air Museum Itinerary 8 days / 7 nights Walkers & Nature Lovers Cyprus has a rich history and due to its strategic position in the Mediterranean has been invaded by the Greeks, Persians, Romans, Phoenicians, Normans, Venetians, Turks and British to name but a few. Below we suggest a fly-drive itinerary which covers some of what the island offers. Feel free to alter to suit your preferences. We are here to guide and advise.

Paphos is like an open-air museum and a world Heritage site - overnight Alexander the Great Hotel on bed and breakfast. Days Nine The area between Paphos and Polis on the north coast boasts several very interesting monasteries in very picturesque locations which are well worth visiting like Aghios Neophytos and Panayia Chrysorrogiatissa. There are also some very interesting villages in the mountains above Paphos. Alternatively, drive along the coast to the Akamas National Park and stop off for a swim at one of the many beaches along the coast - overnight Alexander the Great Hotel on bed and breakfast. Day Ten After breakfast, depending on the time of your return flight, time for some shopping or relaxing by the pool before driving to the airport.

See our website www.sunvil.co.uk/cyprus for further suggested itineraries and short breaks linked to Paphos, having been named European City of Culture in 2017. Cyprus is not only a sun and beach destination. The mountains are heavily forested with pine and cedar and their villages untouched by tourism. The Akamas National Park is a virtually unblemished Mediterranean landscape, much the same now as it was two thousand years ago. The itinerary below covers what we feel you should see and experience. You don t have to walk everywhere, after all you do have a car. You can mix driving through the landscapes with walking to suit your preferences. The suggested walks are not difficult. All are grade one or two and suitable for all adults of fair to good fitness levels. A guide to the trails which are all waymarked will be supplied with your booking confirmation. Day One Arrive at either Larnaca or Paphos Airports, collect your car and drive to the Latchi area - overnight at the beachfront Aphrodite Beach Hotel on bed and breakfast. We would always recommend lunch or evening meals are taken here as the cooking is homely and traditional.

Day Five Drive from Latchi through the Paphos and Troodos ranges on forestry roads to the mountain village of Kalopanagiotis - a three to four hour picturesque route.

Day Six Two walks today, so make an early start. One starts from the village, the Kalopanagiotis to Oikos Village linear trail 4km (1.5 hours).

An accurate price will be provided on application and will reflect the latest airline fares, including regional departures, and any offers from our hotels and other partners.

Greece & Cyprus 5124 Quality Charter AITO is the Association for independent and specialist holiday companies. Our member companies, usually ownermanaged, strive to create overseas holidays with high levels of professionalism and a shared concern for quality and personal service. The Association encourages the highest standards in all aspects of tour operating. Exclusive Membership AITO sets criteria regarding ownership, finance and quality which must be satisfied before new companies are admitted to membership. All members are required to adhere to a Code of Business Practice which encourages high operational standards and conduct. Financial Security An AITO member is required to arrange financial protection for all holidays and other arrangements (including accommodation only) booked by customers with the member under the AITO logo. This financial protection applies to customers who are resident in the UK at the time of booking and to most overseas customers who have booked directly with the member. In doing so, the member must comply with UK government regulations. Members are required to submit details of their financial protection arrangements to AITO on a regular basis. Accurate Brochures and Websites All members do their utmost to ensure that all their brochures and other publications, print or electronic, clearly and accurately describe the holidays and services offered. Professional Service and Continual Improvements All members are committed to high standards of service and believe in regular and thorough training of employees. Members continually seek to review and improve their holidays. They listen to their customers and always welcome suggestions for improving standards. Monitoring Standards AITO endeavours to monitor quality standards regularly. All customers should receive a post-holiday questionnaire the results of which are scrutinised by the Association. Sustainable Tourism All members acknowledge the importance of AITO s Sustainable Tourism guidelines, which recognise the social, economic and environmental responsibilities of tour operating. Those demonstrating their achievements beyond the pure acceptance of this principle are recognised by the award of 2 to 5 star status. Customer Relations All members endeavour to deal swiftly and fairly with any issues their customers may raise. In the unlikely event that a dispute between an AITO member and a customer cannot be settled amicably, AITO s lowcost Independent Dispute Settlement Service may be called upon by either side to bring the matter to a speedy and acceptable conclusion. Sunvil Holidays is a member of the Association of Independent Tour Operators. To contact the Association, visit www.aito.com or call 020 8744 9280. Early Booking Offers To thank our regular clients and to encourage early bookings, we have selected various properties to which we are offering incentives to those booking before the end of February, as indicated under the accommodation descriptions. The offers usually give a reduction of up to 100 per room, studio or apartment per week and apply to most departure dates, but the discount varies according to departure date. The maximum discounts are generally applied for departures in May, 2 weeks from late August and mid to late September onwards. Please enquire or check online availability for a full costing. The following conditions apply: Offers apply to flight-inclusive holidays using our regular charter flights only as listed on page 270 Offers are limited to one per holiday and cannot be mixed or combined with any other discount Supplements are payable in full The maximum reduction allowed is 2 weeks and this reduction will apply to extended duration stays of up to 4 weeks We reserve the right to limit capacity per departure for these holidays and to amend, withdraw or extend selected offers at our discretion. In addition, many hotels give their own Early Booking Offers which may include free nights, free half board etc. These are shown under the relevant hotel descriptions and may have different conditions to those above. Some require a higher deposit or full payment at the time of booking. Should you make an online booking for one of these paying our standard deposit (we cannot vary the deposit for online bookings) we shall contact you shortly after the booking is made for payment of the difference. Please see hotel descriptions, check online availability or contact us for details. Second Holiday Discount We give a 5% reduction if you book a second Greece holiday to be taken within the same year. The discount applies only to the persons travelling on both holidays and is calculated on the basic per person cost (excluding flight/hotel/room supplements, car hire etc.) of the cheaper holiday after any discounts. It is applied to the holiday taken on the later date. This discount is given in addition to any other booking offers which may apply to the second holiday. When to Go Resorts in Greece change character considerably with the seasons. As a rough guide, here is what to expect. April & May: A lovely time to visit. Tourists are few, the weather can be changeable but is often sunny and warm in the day, and the springtime flowers are out. However nights can be cool so take some warm clothing and please remember few apartments have central heating although air-conditioning can usually be set to provide warm air. Do not expect all shops/tavernas to be open, all excursions running, or all facilities (e.g. watersports) to be available. June & early July: Hotting up but still without the crowds. Weather virtually guaranteed sunny. Most bars and tavernas open, facilities available and excursions running. Mid-July to end-august: Everything functioning but hot and busy almost everywhere. Can be windy. There is no Greek seaside village which we would describe as peaceful during this period, so expect some noise even in quiet resorts. September: A popular month normally good weather (although there can be thunderstorms), a warm sea, most local facilities available, and the high season rush has died down. In the smaller islands/resorts and less touristic places local restaurants and facilities may start closing in the latter part of the month. October: A chance for some sunshine before the winter, but the weather can be changeable (obviously the season is extended the further south you go). Ferry schedules can be unreliable. Sea warm, but excursions, restaurants etc. gradually closing down. A quiet and inexpensive time to visit. Responsible Tourism Tourism has the enormous potential to benefit local communities, their economies and their environment. However, the industry can also have a negative impact on its destinations if not properly managed. At Sunvil we are passionate about the areas in which we specialise and the local people with whom we work. We therefore feel that it is our responsibility to help minimise any adverse effects. A company that arranges holidays using aircraft and promotes car hire in resort can never hope to call itself green or eco-friendly. However, for many years we have striven to behave as responsibly as possible long before green credentials became fashionable. You can read our Responsible Tourism policy in full on our website. The Travel Foundation The Travel Foundation is a UK charity that cares for the places we love to visit. Your holiday can make a real difference to your favourite destinations. It can help protect the natural environment, traditions and culture the things that make your visit special. And it can improve the wellbeing of local families so that more people benefit from your visit. All of which can make your holiday experience even better! Most importantly, it can help ensure that there are great places for us all to visit for generations to come. Sunvil, along with several other travel companies, is supporting the work of The Travel Foundation by donating 1 from every holiday booked direct to the charity, and providing help in kind in the way of complimentary flights, accommodation and other services in order to help the workings of the charity. For more information, please take a look at The Travel Foundation's website at www.thetravelfoundation.org.uk Blue Flag Beaches 430 Greek beaches were awarded Blue Flag status in 2016, the third highest total of any country. This worldwide scheme is operated by a non-profit NGO which awards a coveted blue flag only to beaches that fulfil 32 mainly environmental criteria, including water quality.

Some areas experience a shortage of hire cars in high season so we would especially recommend pre-booking during this period. We can quote for higher category cars, automatics and people carriers (in some areas) on request. General Car Hire Conditions The following conditions commonly apply to most car rental companies in Greece, but may vary slightly from area to area and are for guidance only. A small charge to cover extra insurance (commonly 3-5 euros per day) is usually made for additional drivers and payable locally. In most areas only one additional driver is allowed. Unless otherwise specified the minimum driver age is 21 for Groups A, B and C, 23-25 years of age for other Groups, and they must have held a full UK or EU driving licence for 1 year. In some areas an extra insurance payment may be required for older drivers (70+). Non-EU citizens will require an international driving licence. All drivers should be entered individually on the contract to be completed when picking up the car you will need passport, driving licence and a credit card. Collision Damage Waiver Insurance has an excess payable typically the first 300-600 Euros of any damage for Groups A, B & C. The excess can vary and is more for higher category cars and jeeps. Some companies offer an additional insurance (super-cdw or FDW Full Damage Waiver) payable locally to cover or reduce this excess. It may be better value to pre-purchase this see www.insurance4carhire.com. Personal Accident Insurance (PAI) will be offered locally but is not necessary if you have Sunvil s travel insurance or similar. Damage to the tyres, glass (incl. lights and mirrors), engine or underside of the car is not normally covered by insurance in Greece. A credit card imprint (or cash deposit of c. 500 Euros) will be required on delivery of the car, returnable at the end of the hire period if the car is delivered back with no damage to the above. This imprint or deposit also covers any petrol and refuelling charges, traffic or parking fines and CDW excess charge. Outside normal office hours (c 0900 2000) an out-of-hours delivery/ collection charge is payable locally; normally 20-30 euros. Sundays are considered normal working days. Delivery and collection charges are payable locally (if applicable) and times are approximate. Should your flight suffer a delay cars required on arrival in resort may not be delivered until the following morning. We regret that no refund can be made in these circumstances. Child seats are on request at a charge of c 4 euros per day payable locally and should be requested at the time of booking your car (see below). It may be necessary to fit the child seat yourself. Please note that child seats are generally available for infants and small children only. The law in Greece does not make them compulsory for older children, and they may not be of BSS specification. Before tickets have been issued a 35 charge applies to cancelling a car hire reservation. All local charges are subject to VAT at 23% (at the time of going to print). Fly-drive clients and those with a car from the airport should remember that luggage space is limited. It is recommended that you therefore limit luggage to one medium sized suitcase per person. Excess luggage may have to be transported by taxi, the cost of which would be payable by the client locally. Jeeps have very little luggage space and are not secure. The contract you sign on delivery of the car is between you and the car hire company. You should therefore read this and inspect the car and tyres before driving. The companies we use are all reputable firms who have been operating for many years. Car hire prices are calculated on 24 hour periods and are prorata between low and high season or v.v. Refunds for unused car hire, including cars returned early, are at the discretion of the car hire company and should be agreed with them before returning to the UK. Suzuki discontinued production of open-top jeeps in 2009. Always popular in Greece, you can still find them for hire in some areas but the cars are getting old and therefore are not in pristine condition. For safety reasons we do not regard them as suitable for families with young children and some car hire companies will not accept family bookings. 268 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk Alonissos Group Typical Car A/C Seats 01/05-08/06 09/06-06/07 7/07-27/07 28/07-31/08 15/09-31/10 01/09-14/09 C Fiat Panda 1.2 5 161 217 252 301 D Suzuki Jimny 4x4 1.3 4 245 252 343 448 * on request.

In flight meals and service: with the exception of our main season flights from Gatwick with Germania (see below) and the scheduled international services of Aegean Air, in-flight meals are not included as most airlines (including BA in short haul economy) have now moved to the low cost carrier model with a 'buy on board' service. Flying with Germania from Gatwick: we have again chartered with Germania for our main season flying on most Gatwick routes using a modern A320 aircraft. Customers have given very good feedback on the in-flight comfort and service Germania provide, which for 2017 includes for Sunvil clients: complimentary catering in each direction complimentary tea, coffee and soft drinks hand luggage allowance of 6 kgs per person infant hold-luggage allowance of 10 kgs For 2017 the following Gatwick routes are planned to operate with Germania between the dates of 22 May (outbound) and 08 October (inbound): Corfu, Kefalonia, Lemnos, Preveza, Samos, Skiathos Please note that, for operational reasons, should the carrier switch away from Germania no refunds can be made for non-catered flying. Germania seats can be pre-booked at www.flyextras.com Early and late season flying: For flights during the first 2-3 weeks of May and from early October onwards, timings and details may vary and will be confirmed at the time of booking. Not all resort areas may be open at the very start or end of the season - please enquire. Bought-in flights. Flights other than those listed above have to be 'bought-in'. Please note that full payment of the flight element is usually required at the time of booking in addition to our standard deposit - this amount will be quoted at deposit stage and is non-refundable.

Greece & Cyprus General Information General Information Please read these notes in conjunction with our Booking Conditions and with price panels. Information contained in this brochure may alter after publication so please check with us for any changes prior to booking. Our Bonding and Your Financial Security Sunvil is a fully bonded operator. We are licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority (ATOL 808) for all air based holidays in this brochure. All non air travel arrangements (e.g. accommodation or ground arrangements only) conform to the bonding requirements of the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA). Complete financial protection is thus assured. In the unlikely event of our insolvency, these organisations will ensure that you are not stranded abroad and will arrange to refund any money you have paid us for an advance booking. For further information on how the CAA deals with air based bookings and to check our ATOL number, visit the CAA website at www.atol.org.uk. A Few Facts of Life We believe the information in this brochure is true and correct. It is essential you read our descriptions carefully to avoid making a wrong choice. If you re unsure of anything please ask to speak to someone who has been to the area you wish to visit. Our advice is honest we would rather lose you than allow you to visit a resort unsuited to your needs. Having said that, we would like to make our own position clear. Seasons change and so do resorts. What is quiet in May can be crowded in August. Tourist facilities depend on the weather and/or demand. Our descriptions are based on a typical June day in Greece or Cyprus. Please bear this in mind as it is impossible to qualify every statement on every page. If you visit a Mediterranean country you must accept the local way of life which, due to the climate, can be very different to ours. Buses run early in the morning, shops and offices close in the afternoon, and restaurants, bars and clubs are noisier, open-air and open later than their British equivalents. Plumbing is rarely perfect, hot water not always available and water itself in short supply (localised water shortages are common, particularly in high season when demand is at its maximum). Roads are largely unlit, often have no pavement and are sometimes unmade, so take a torch. Many areas are growing resorts and building may be going on in the vicinity of your accommodation. We are not trying to dissuade you from travelling but just pointing out that you must take the rough with the smooth when you visit any foreign country. Despite the above, we are certain that you will have the holiday of a lifetime, but if you do experience some niggles try to have patience and understanding and gracefully accept that you cannot live in Greece or Cyprus as you would at home. Accommodation Only Most properties are available on an accommodation only basis - please ask for a price quote. Please note the price will not include car hire, meet and greet at the airport or port, or transfers unless specified on the Confirmation Invoice. Self catering properties usually have to be booked by the week starting on our regular change over day. Rates will include an amount for our local costs e.g. local agent handling fee, a welcome pack of provisions, rep costs etc. Amendment and Administration Charges If we are advised more than 8 weeks before departure, 35 will be charged for each amendment or name change to a confirmed booking to cover administration costs. In the case of a minor amendment (e.g. cancellation of a pre-booked car) this charge is per booking; in the case of a major amendment (e.g. change of holiday dates to earlier or later in the same season, change of accommodation or resort) this charge is per person and is also subject to any cancellation/amendment fees charged by our suppliers. Holiday deposits or payments may be transferred to another holiday to Greece departing within the same year, subject to the amendment fees above, but not from one year to the next. In addition, airline administration fees will be charged in cases of altering passenger initial, name or title. Within 8 weeks of departure we reserve the right to treat a major alteration as a cancellation of the original holiday (attracting cancellation charges) and regard it as a new holiday booking. APIS (Advanced Passenger Information System) The UK Government requires APIS (Advanced Passenger Information) data for all passengers travelling internationally into and out of the UK. We need to collect this information from all passengers on behalf of the carrier, and provide it as part of the check-in process. These details can be submitted confidentially and securely online via the My Sunvil section of the website. If you do not have your passport details to hand this information can be submitted at a later date. However, it must be submitted at least 10 days before departure. The information will be passed on directly to the relevant airline and kept for no more than 10 years by the British Government. It will be protected in keeping with the Data Protection Act and appropriate security controls will ensure it is not used or accessed incorrectly. It will be given only to organisations that are legally authorised to receive it and that need it to carry out their official duties. Your details will be destroyed by us on your return to the UK. Beaches By law there are very few private beaches in Greece or Cyprus. Even if a property is directly above its own beach and there is no alternative access, the public usually have the right to pass through the grounds to use the beach. Of course hotels encourage daytime visitors to use their facilities at the same time. The more popular beaches often suffer from sunbed blight in the summer months. The same beaches may have a beach bar or club with music for the young Greeks. We don't like it either but there is little we can do as, in these difficult economic times, it is an important source of income for the locals and for the municipality who charge them a licence fee for the beach. Please note, beaches are described as seen by ourselves which is often more than one year before your holiday takes place. Weather conditions, winter storms, currents etc. can lead to changes sand for pebble and vice versa. Building Works A fact of life in any developing tourist country is new building works. Although we do try to contract properties which seem less likely to have a building going up alongside them, we have no way of knowing in advance when or where this will happen, nor for how long it will last. Building work can start at very short notice and we fully appreciate the nuisance and inconvenience this can cause. We will always try to offer alternative accommodation but this is not always possible, especially in the peak season. Please note that half-finished building shells are a common sight and the presence of one close to your accommodation does not mean it is an active building site. These shells can be there for years, unfinished normally due to financial or legal reasons. There is no way of telling in advance when or if they are likely to become active again. Cancellations Should you wish to cancel your holiday please call to tell us as soon as you can. Cancellation is only effective when we receive notice in writing (please call to check we have received it or ask us to acknowledge receipt, especially if sent by email). For further details and cancellation charges see our Booking Conditions. Children and Infants Air Passenger Duty From 1st March 2016 children under the age of 16 on the date of outbound travel from the UK are exempt from APD (currently 13). For most of our standard holidays our system should bring this reduction in automatically for children under 12. For children aged 12-15 we have to put the reduction in manually, so it will not appear for example for online bookings or quotes. Please contact us to claim this rebate if it is not shown on your invoice. Holidays If sharing the same accommodation unit as adults, children increase the party size so the cost per person reduces - this reduction is split between all members of the party. Hotel Holidays If sharing a hotel room with 2 adults and therefore occupying an 'extra' bed, most hotels give a reduction for children under 12. This reduction is split between all occupants of the room (i.e. the overall holiday cost for 2 adults and a child is usually lower than that for three adults). Child reductions do not apply to interconnecting rooms as these are charged as two rooms, unless an 'extra' bed is being used. Please note an extra bed is often a folding bed or a sofa bed and may make the room cramped. Infants Infants under 2 years of age on the date of return travel are charged a flat rate of 50. Some accommodation may make a small daily cot/linen charge which is payable locally. Cots, high chairs and child seats for cars should be requested - please note that these items may not meet British Safety Standards. All food is payable locally. Infants do not qualify for a seat on the aircraft nor any luggage allowance with the exception of Germania who allow 10 kgs per infant. Please note that the CAA has approved certain types of car seats for use in aircraft - should their use become mandatory infants will require their own aircraft seat and will be charged accordingly. Transfers Child seats are not provided by our transfer coach and taxi operators. If this is a concern please bring your own with you. Child seats are carried in the hold of the aircraft. Unaccompanied Children Most airlines we use do not allow children under the age of 16 to fly unaccompanied. Please check with us at the time of booking. Travel Insurance Our Family Rate insures up to four dependent children under the age of 18 free of charge if travelling with two insured adult family members. External Websites Sunvil has no control over the content of external websites, even if mentioned in this brochure, and can accept no liability for any statements, descriptions or photographs seen on any other website other than www.sunvil.co.uk. Extra Accommodation and Boughtin Flights If accommodation is requested and booked extra to our normal allocation (due to our contracted rooms being full) the room description may differ from that in the brochure (e.g. if we state our rooms are top floor it may be that the extra room will be not be top floor as it is not a room we normally use). Facilities, views, furnishings or equipment in the room may also differ from those described - we would ask you to please request any missing items you may require from our local representative or the hotel. In some instances these 'extra' rooms are more expensive than advertised as they may be sold to us by the hotel on a different contractual basis. Similarly, should we buy-in flight seats there may be a supplement and a higher deposit required as the full cost of the flight usually has to be paid in full at the time of booking (note: non-refundable). In either case the extra cost involved will be quoted at the time of booking. Extra Beds Nearly all hotels and self catering can take an extra bed. This is usually folding or convertible and may make the accommodation cramped. There may also be a lack of wardrobe space and privacy. We would recommend their use for young children only. It is quite legal for an extra bed to be placed in a twin room or studio even though the sign behind the door may state the room is for 2 persons. Facilities and Low Season Beach and sports facilities are payable locally. Centralised air-conditioning is at the discretion of the management and may not operate all day every day, outside the peak season or if the temperature drops below a certain level. Sunbeds and umbrellas are commonly charged for on the beach (although not around the swimming pool) as this is a concession granted on a commercial basis by the council. In the low season (generally April, May and late September onwards) not all advertised hotel facilities may be available, particularly open-air facilities, pool bars/snack bars, open-air restaurants, water sports and a full excursion programme. If you feel a particular facility is vital to your holiday, please ask us to check if it will be available when you wish to travel. At the beginning and end of the season (normally May and mid-september onwards) the smaller islands, villages and resort areas can be very quiet with only one or two tavernas open. Mini-markets may also be closed in these off season periods, depending on demand. If you would like more choice we would recommend you rent a car or book into a larger resort area at this time of year. The provision of telephone lines, broadband internet connections and WiFi do not form part of this contract and we cannot accept a booking conditional on their use as these facilities rely on local networks and therefore service levels cannot be guaranteed. No compensation is payable if the service is not working and is awaiting repair. Other facilities, fixtures and fittings including but not limited to, dishwasher, washing machine, swimming pool, lighting and air-conditioning units may require servicing or repair. We cannot be held responsible for loss of use while repair is being undertaken, which can take some time in the smaller resort areas and islands. 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk Greece & Cyprus 271

Greece & Cyprus General Information FCO Travel Advice Keep up-to-date with the latest UK Government Travel Advice as issued by the Foreign Office before you travel. This can be accessed by telephone (0845 850 2829); online (www.fco.gov.uk/travel/); or BBC text services. As a responsible tour operator, Sunvil follows FCO advice should it advise against non-essential travel to any of our destinations during a period in which you are booked to travel imminently you may change or cancel your holiday with no penalty. Ferries and Domestic Flights Ferries and small aircraft are the only means of travelling to many of the smaller Greek islands. Generally reliable, occasionally bad weather and breakdown can cause delays, and timetables can alter with little notice. If you want to visit the islands then this is a risk you must accept. Should this happen we will amend your itinerary accordingly at no cost to yourself for any additional transfers of overnight hotel. By the same token there will be no refund for unused accommodation or for a lower category overnight hotel than the one booked. Ferry schedules indicated are based on the previous year and are subject to change. Flight Delays and Missed Connections Delays on our flights last summer did not reach significant levels. In the event of a significant delay (3 hours plus) on a regular Sunvil flight, we will endeavour to provide refreshments, meals and overnight accommodation as and when appropriate. Additionally our Travel Insurance does give compensation for longer delays (6 hours plus). Should a flight delay mean a missed ferry or domestic flight connection in Greece we will arrange overnight accommodation, usually in a BB hotel (please note the category of this hotel may not match that of the hotel you have booked). We will transfer you the next day to the port/airport for your new connecting ferry/flight and rearrange transfers accordingly on all islands. We regret that no refund is possible for unused accommodation in these circumstances. If your flight back to the UK is delayed we can take no responsibility for any additional costs incurred for your onward transportation please book flexible tickets that allow changes. Accommodation Designed for a summer outdoor lifestyle, most holiday accommodation in Greece and Cyprus is more basic than that elsewhere. Although our individual property descriptions should give you all the information you need, you should expect the following from standard Greek holiday accommodation. Furnishings. Simple pine furnishings, tiled floors and whitewashed walls (usually bare!). Plastic table and chairs for sitting outside on the balcony or patio. Bathrooms. Compact and tiled, with hand-held shower, wc and washbasin. Baths are rare, as are plugs (that fit!) and shower cabinets. Where a room has both bath and shower, the shower will be an attachment (usually hand-held). Water on the floor will quickly dry. Lavatory paper, tampons, cotton wool etc. should not be put in the toilet as the Greek drainage system cannot cope instead put in the pedal bin or basket provided. Water. Solar power is commonly used to heat water. Therefore hot water supplies can be erratic, particularly early or late in the day or when cloudy. Greeks consider anything from tepid upwards as hot. As in most of the Mediterranean, water is in short supply and should be used sparingly. In some areas, particularly during the peak summer months, pressure can drop or supplies cut off at certain times of the day for conservation purposes. Air conditioning. A/C usually also doubles as heating in the early and late season. Where there is a local charge, this is payable in cash. Electricity. Voltage is 220. Continental adaptors will be required. Greek electricity supplies can be temperamental and power cuts are not uncommon. Hotels Official Grading. Now moved to a conventional star rating there are still many anomalies and we think that in many cases description and pricing is a better guide than the official category - commonly the newer 2 star hotels are of a better standard than the older 3 star ones. Whatever the category, you should expect comfort rather than luxury. Small hotels are usually family-run what they may lack in facilities they often make up for in atmosphere. Double Rooms. A generic term used by hotels to describe a room for two persons - a double bed or twin beds are not guaranteed unless the description specifically states the rooms are all 'double-bedded' or 'twin-bedded' or a special request has been made and confirmed in writing. The modern style is to have twin mattresses on a double base, which rather blurs the boundaries. Single rooms. Single rooms are often smaller and without much of a view. In the low season you may well have a double for sole use. A twin/double for single use can be guaranteed for a further supplement. Meals. Greek hotel breakfasts are still nothing to write home about. Most hotels offer a buffetstyle breakfast, normally Continental. However, the minimum remains the basic pat of butter, bread, jam, biscuits and tea or coffee. Half Board is generally accepted to mean breakfast and evening meal some hotels will provide lunch instead of dinner if adequate notice is given. We find local tavernas often offer more choice at a reasonable cost. Hotel bungalows. Hoteliers use this term to indicate that their rooms are not all in one building but in separate units, maybe of several storeys, situated away from the main block. The rooms are standard, with no self catering facilities. Hotel, Apartment and Room Facilities Unless stated as free of charge, advertised facilities (e.g. room-safe, WiFi) may have a local charge. Internet and WiFi If an accommodation has Wifi or broadband internet access this will be mentioned in the description. Please note, connections are generally sufficient for checking email and light web browsing. Bandwidth restrictions or extra changes may apply if the connections are used for downloading large files or streaming video content. Wifi is available in most main villages and many local cafes also advertise free connections. Please note that we cannot guarantee Wifi availability as this is dependent on local ISPs, technical issues etc. and this facility does not form part of our contract with you. If an accommodation is described as having Wifi, this does not necessarily mean it will be available inside the rooms - it may be available on the balcony or certain public areas only. Local Representation We employ our own company representatives in many of the islands and resorts we feature - see resort introduction pages. In some areas they may be shared with our sister company GIC The Villa Collection. Our reps can help solve problems, provide information, arrange car hire and book excursions. Their aim is to help you get the most from your holiday, not to organise you in any way. If you would like a representative close to hand, choose one of these locations. In Athens and in areas/islands where we have smaller numbers, we use the services of local agents. In these areas and where we do not employ our own representative resort information books are not provided. However, hotels are well used to supplying useful local information. Wherever you are our agent or representative can always be contacted by telephone. It is essential that any difficulties you experience are reported to our representative or nearest local agent at the time of occurrence so that we are given the opportunity to resolve things locally. Maps and Resort Guides Please note that maps in this brochure are for guidance only and not to scale. Should you require more detailed information please contact us. Mobile Telephones Greece and Cyprus have generally good network coverage and in most of our resort areas you should be able to get a signal if you are using a Roaming facility. Noise, Villages and Rural Locations Greek villages can be just as noisy as towns a dog barking or cockerel crowing through the night can disturb as much as passing traffic. Mopeds and motorcycles never seem to have silencers. Village life starts early and finishes late the quietest time is usually siesta between 2 pm and 5 pm. Noise is particularly bad even in quiet areas during the peak weeks from mid-july to end-august, reaching its height over the major holiday weekend of 15th August. High season nightclubs spring up in even the smallest places; beachclubs open and beach parties organised; tavernas and bars play music late into the night; and traffic is heavy everywhere. During this period there is nowhere we would guarantee peace and quiet! Centrally located properties, particularly those close to a harbour or waterfront, will inevitably have a higher noise ratio even if it s just people strolling at night or sitting in cafés. If you are particularly noise-sensitive we recommend you try to avoid the peak season and properties on or near a road, taverna or harbour. Please ask our advice it may be better that you are a little further from the beach or slightly up a hill. Please note that when we say quiet in a description it means that there is normally little or no traffic noise, and no club or noisy taverna near enough to disturb. It does not mean that you will not hear the natural sounds of the country e.g. roosters, dogs etc. Much of our accommodation is in a rural location so a visit from the native wildlife (most commonly ants, lizards, fieldmice and rats) should not come as a surprise. If any of your party are squeamish about such things, please check with us as to the suitability of your accommodation before you book. Wherever you go, we recommend you take a torch as roads are often unmade, pavements (if any) uneven and street lighting poor or non-existent. See also Weddings. Passports, Currency, Pregnancy and Health The following information was correct at the time of going to press. It is advisable to check before departure as to whether any changes have taken place. Passports and Visas. A full UK or EC Passport (valid for at least 3 months after your return date for Cyprus) is needed for Greece or Cyprus. Visas are not required for EC citizens. All children (including babies) do need to hold their own passport. Non-EC nationals should inform us when booking and check with the Greek or Cyprus Consulate as to whether a visa is required. If a visa is required for return entry into the UK, this is your responsibility. Health and EHIC. No innoculations or vaccinations are necessary for British Passport holders at the time of printing, but for the latest government health advice please see the National Travel Health Network and Centre website www.nathnac.org. All EU citizens should have a free European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) in addition to travel insurance to apply please go to www.ehic.org.uk. Should you be on medication take adequate supplies with you and carry them in hand luggage only. All our islands and resort areas have doctors and chemists. Currency. Information on the ATM facilities in your resort area(s) will be sent with your tickets - however if you are staying in a more remote area or a small village an ATM may not be close to hand. Traveller s Cheques are now difficult and expensive to change so we recommend most spending money is taken in the form of cash (Euros). Greece is largely a cash society and credit cards are still not that widely accepted away from the more expensive restaurants and shops in the bigger towns or tourist centres (although most petrol stations do now accept them) and so should not be relied on as your main form of holiday money. For competitive rates and commission-free currency delivered to your door, please see www.currency-express.com/sunvil Pregnancy. If you are more than 28 weeks pregnant on the date of return travel most airlines require a medical certificate of fitness to fly. If you are more than 32 weeks pregnant you will not normally be allowed to travel. Diving. Do not fly within 24 hours of diving. Payment & Ticket Despatch The balance of your holiday cost is due 8 weeks before departure and you can pay online via our secure website. We accept Amex, Mastercard and Visa (n.b. a charge is made for credit card payment) as well as debit cards and cheques. Please note, we do not send reminders. Should you require a receipt please enclose a stamped addressed envelope with your payment. Tickets are sent electronically or by mail about 10 days before departure. On receipt please check all documents carefully and advise us of any discrepancy or error as soon as possible. Photography The photographs in this brochure have been taken to show a property or resort area to its best advantage. Wide angle lenses are used for most room interiors, building exteriors and some beach/scenic shots. Most are taken off-peak so in high season the beaches will generally be busier than shown. When an interior or a view is shown, this is an indication only as not all rooms or views may be the same. Interior fixtures, fittings and furnishings may also vary from room to room, or the owner may have decided to change a certain piece of furniture or décor since the picture was taken. Exterior shots can also change. As we cannot re-photograph all properties, views etc. every year, inevitably trees, bushes and shrubs can appear where previously there were none, or it was only a baby not shown in the photograph. Greenery can grow fast in Greece and this can affect views etc., even with cutting back. Privacy Where it is stated that a room, apartment or house has a private balcony, terrace, patio or garden, it means that the facility is exclusively for the use of those staying in that particular unit of accommodation. It does not necessarily mean that you cannot be seen from the road or a neighbouring balcony, building etc. Resort Descriptions Resort descriptions and facilities are based on those operating in the previous year and may change. An excursion which operated last year may not run this year, a restaurant or shop may decide not to open, and a local bus or boat service may change its schedule or be withdrawn. Beaches can change their character due to winter storms as sand washes away or is brought in. Trees and shrubbery can grow fast in the Mediterranean and may affect views until cut back. As stated elsewhere our descriptions are based on a typical June day - resort villages and beaches will be busier in August and quieter in May. See also 'Facilities and Low Season'. Safety Standards and Regulations The safety standards and regulations in operation overseas are those of the country in question and may not reach the same levels as those we enjoy in the UK. The monitoring, enforcement and compliance with these local regulations is a matter for the authorities of that country and the foreign supplier of the services concerned. The general standard of safety is lower than in the UK. Liability insurance requirements vary considerably from country to country, as does the responsibility placed on an organisation by local law. Please therefore take all precautions to protect yourself and your family whilst on holiday. In particular, you should familiarise yourself with hotel fire escape routes and always be aware of hidden dangers involving swimming pools, balconies and hotel lifts, especially if travelling with children. Should you notice anything which causes concern, please point it out to our representative. Satellite Television Where it is stated that satellite television is available please do not expect Sky. Greek satellite tv normally includes some Englishspeaking channels (usually CNN, Eurosport and sometimes BBC World and a film channel). Normal terrestrial Greek television often shows English-language films (in English) and covers major sporting events such as the World Cup. Scooter, Moped, Quad Bikes and Bicycle Hire Scooters, mopeds and quad bikes are available at most of our resorts. However, due to the poor roads and erratic driving habits the accident level is very high. Quad bikes have a particularly 272 Sunvil 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk

Greece & Cyprus General Information bad record and most travel insurance does not cover them. We strongly recommend you rent a car instead. Bicycle hire is a healthy and fun way to explore. However even the experienced should take extra care with Greek drivers and roads cars always take priority, roads are potholed and often turn into dirt tracks, and neither are up to the standards of the UK. Second Holiday Discount For a second Sunvil Greece holiday taken within the same calendar year a reduction of 5% off the basic price of the cheaper holiday (excluding supplements and car hire) will be credited to your later holiday. This discount is only applicable to persons booked to travel on both. All our self catering accommodation is licensed by the relevant authorities and the degree of comfort is as per the individual descriptions. Studios. One open-plan room with beds for two adults and sometimes a child, kitchenette area (occasionally separate), shower room with wc, and balcony or patio. Apartments. Two rooms or more. One of these rooms is often a living/dining room separate from the bedroom(s), although you can get two bedrooms with a small kitchen (see individual accommodation descriptions). Kitchenette likely to be in the open-plan living room (occasionally separate). One, sometimes two, convertible beds in the living room for families. Where an apartment (as opposed to the living room) is described as open-plan this usually means there is no door between bedroom and living room, although there is often a separation (i.e. archway or corridor). Cooking facilities. cooking rings, sink and fridge (often all-in-one unit) for breakfasts, snacks or light meals but not intended for full meals. Work surfaces and utensils are limited although most of our accommodation does now possess electric kettle and toaster. Cleaning and linen. Unless you are staying in an apart-hotel, please do not expect hotel-style service e.g. daily maid service. Frequency of cleaning varies from area to area but the norm is twice weekly, with a once-weekly linen and towel change. Between cleans you are expected to empty any bins yourself, and bin-bags are provided for this purpose please put them in the nearest municipal rubbish bin. Please note, Greek towels are small, and beach/pool towels are not provided. Local charges. Facilities charged locally such as air conditioning and safety deposit boxes should be paid in cash. Please note: the term villa is often used to mean a small hotel unit or unit of studios and apartments. For insurance reasons only those persons named on the booking are allowed to stay in the accommodation without our prior consent. Smoking Like nearly every other EU country, Greece has a smoking ban in public places officially! Those who know the Greeks, however, will not be surprised to read that its interpretation is rather liberal, and can vary from place to place. We would ask guests to smoke on the balcony or terrace of their accommodation rather than indoors. Special Requests Unless a supplement is charged, special requests cannot be guaranteed as room allocation is made locally normally it is first come, first served. If you request a double bed you may well find you get two singles pushed together. Special requests should be noted on the booking confirmation please check with us if it is not. Airline seat requests can only be made for a valid medical reason. Swimming Pools It is common practice in Greece for hotels and the larger apartment units to allow use of their facilities, including the swimming pool, to nonresidents (sometimes at a charge). Where we say the pool is for guests use only, this does not preclude friends/relatives of the owner. Pool rules vary but should be observed these may restrict pool hours (especially during afternoon siesta time) or diving, specify a quiet time during the afternoon etc. Swimming is not normally permitted at night. Pool bars will inevitably play music that is not to everybody s taste, although we always ask the owners to control the volume. Swimming pools are rarely supervised, so children should always be accompanied. Swimming pools may occasionally be withdrawn from operation for a short period for maintenance reasons. Where it is indicated that a property has use of pool this is based on information from the previous year and not guaranteed. Unless otherwise stated a charge may be payable. If there is no entrance charge you are expected to purchase drinks or food from the bar or restaurant. These pools are not under our direct control and may not be open early or late season. If a swimming pool is essential to your holiday please book a property which has its own pool on-site. Transfers and Luggage Approximate transfer durations are given on the resort pages. These do not include any waiting time for other arriving passengers on later flights, ferry/hydrofoil departures, accommodation drop-offs etc. Taxis are licensed for 4 adult passengers so taxi transfers are likely to be shared. Parties may occasionally be split, unless a supplement is paid. A private taxi transfer can be booked on request please ask for a quote. Boot space for luggage in taxis is limited and it is normal practice for luggage to be secured with elasticated straps if the boot cannot fully close. Taxis do not have child seats should this be a concern please bring your own or book a car from the airport with a child seat. We reserve the right to substitute alternative forms of transportation to those mentioned (e.g. ferry for hydrofoil) should local circumstances dictate this. Porterage is not generally provided as the distances are not great (please note that, for insurance reasons, our local representatives are not permitted to carry clients luggage). For transfers involving sea crossings you do have to carry your baggage on and off the boat yourself so bear this in mind when packing! It is your responsibility to ensure that your luggage is safely on the coach/ferry/taxi before it leaves. We cannot guarantee to transport large or bulky items eg. windsurfers, bicycles etc., for which you may need to rent a car or a private taxi transfer. In some areas luggage storage may be available, but this is at your own risk. Some transfers are shared with our sister company GIC (Greek Islands Club). Travel Insurance It is essential that you are adequately insured. Our insurance is tailored specifically for our holidays please see this brochure section for details. We cannot be responsible for any claim, item or events, which would normally be covered by our insurance (if taken). Vacation of Rooms and Night Flights In accordance with international practice, hotel rooms should be vacated by midday on the last day of your holiday. You may be able to extend this locally for a charge. Self catering accommodation should be vacated by 10.00am. However, luggage storage and bathroom facilities will usually be made available. In the case of late flights, if you are arriving at your accommodation early morning your room is booked from the previous day to ensure immediate access when you arrive. Very early morning departures from a hotel will probably miss breakfast and no refund can be given in this case. However, it is worth asking the hotel if they could leave anything out for you e.g. a thermos of coffee, biscuits, or even a kettle, cups and some Nescafe. Walking Difficulties Greece is a hilly country. Due to the nature of our programme, we regret that we consider only selected holidays in this brochure as suitable for those with walking difficulties, and try to point these out in our descriptions (and, by the same token, steer you away from unsuitable properties). Many roads are unmade and have no pavement, accommodation is often built on rising ground, and buildings in general are not designed with the disabled in mind, although they are getting better at this as all newer hotels now offer rooms with disabled access and bathrooms. Most buildings are slightly raised and have some steps even to rooms described as ground floor. WE know our properties and areas well so please ask our advice. Weddings and Christenings Exuberant affairs to which all are welcome! Unfortunately the happy couple's joy may not be matched by those staying in the same hotel or nearby who cannot sleep thanks to the bouzouki band blasting out Greek songs in the small hours of the morning! I'm afraid there is little that can be done - big wedding celebrations are a part of the Greek culture, and everyone is expected to join in the eating, drinking, music and dancing. Probably the best thing to do is to attend it! Hotels love weddings for the income it brings them and some public areas/facilities may close for the party. Hotels do not generally view weddings as a nuisance to other guests - they expect everyone to join in as the Greeks do - or something that guests need to be warned of in advance. The same caveats also apply to Christening parties they just tend to finish earlier! The Genevieve A unique vessel for your River Thames Charter Cruise Genevieve is a 40 foot beaver stern saloon launch, built by Taylor and Bates of Chertsey in 1914. Her hull planking is African mahogany and all topside and interior fittings are in teak. Back then, her selling price was 1,150! In 1998, she was found rotting away on a canal in Lancashire and Peter Freebody, owner of one of the foremost UK boatyards for renovating classic boats, was immediately taken in by her shape and decided she must be saved for future generations to enjoy. The extensive, painstaking renovation requested by Sunvil finished in May 2010. The launch is unique and very rare. The saloon has bevelled windows and opening lights with port and starboard seating. She also has a spacious, canopied, forward cockpit with additional seating. There is an another small cockpit aft, with further seating. Genevieve is powered by a six cylinder Sea Prince petrol engine, smartly sited under a teak and glass engine case. In chilly weather, the engine supplies heat to the saloon and cockpit. Genevieve is available for private charter April to October and hire charges are from 200 per hour. She can host up to 10 persons. Catering can be supplied. For further details see www.vintagethamescharters.com Welcome Packs We provide a Welcome Pack for your arrival in most of our self catering properties where there is a Sunvil local representative (see resort information). This will include such items as bread, butter, tea, coffee, water, wine etc. (varies according to area). We now provide Welcome Packs in your second centre if you are on a twincentre holiday. Please note Welcome Packs are not generally supplied for bookings made within 7 days for logistical reasons. Your Holiday Price Includes flights, accommodation, car hire (if included in the brochured holiday) and transfers as detailed; services of our nearest local agent or representative; all airport taxes/security charges, UK Air Passenger Duty (taxes and APD currently total c. 40) and VAT known at the time of printing.

Note: when persons are travelling completely on their own there will be a transfer supplement if transfers are by taxi.

This charge may increase should the credit card companies increase their charges to us and will be quoted at the time of booking. 020 8758 4758 www.sunvil.co.uk Greece & Cyprus 273
