New Greece brochure now available
May 15, 2024
No other holiday destination has such a loyal following as Greece. Its magnetic draw is almighty and yet, whilst many factors of the attraction are universal, what repeatedly pulls people to Greece is also very personal. Sunvil has been arranging holidays to Greece since 1975. With our 50th anniversary approaching, we have designed a beautiful new brochure, highlighting the vast array of holiday types and destinations we offer. It is, in fact, now the largest Greek island portfolio of any UK tour operator, featuring 61 islands, plus the most comprehensive accommodation on the Greek mainland, including the historic Peloponnese.

A drive through the Mani
May 14, 2024
The Mani Peninsula, with its stark and rugged landscapes, offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historical depth that captivates those who venture there. The land is characterised by its dramatic tower houses, evidence of a turbulent past where defence and vigilance were part of everyday life. These stone towers, some still inhabited, stand as a testament to the resilience and fortitude of the Maniots, reputed descendants of the ancient Spartans. The coastline is dotted with secluded beaches, offering serene escapes and breath taking views of the Mediterranean. Yet, beyond its physical allure, Mani holds a profound sense of isolation and tranquillity, particularly noticeable in the sparsely populated expanses that stretch between its quaint villages. This emptiness adds to the feeling of stepping back in time or entering a forgotten world, making Mani not just a destination, but a powerful, evocative experience at the edge of modern Greece. Whether it's exploring the historic sites, hiking the rugged terrain, or simply soaking in the vistas from a solitary beach, a drive through the Mani is bound to be an unforgettable adventure. Our drive through the Mani begins in Kalamata and ends in Cape Tainaron.
