Sun, sea, savings! Book your summer escape today (including £100 child reductions).

A day can feel like a month in these unfamiliar times, and when you're talking about international travel we are evolving and adapting by the moment. Ten days ago I travelled to Greece alongside a few fellow passengers - all enthusiastic to return. Airport life was quiet, duty free was closed and the experience stress-free, albeit somewhat surreal. Today, I returned to London Gatwick Airport* to greet guests travelling on our first holiday departure of the season, to the island of Lemnos. I discovered an airport re-emerging after a lengthy rest; duty free, gift shops, stationers and pharmacies have reopened. 

*Flights are currently operating only from London Gatwick's North Terminal. From my experience today, it is clear that the airport is working hard to ensure a seamless transition from departure to airside for all. Face masks are worn by all, hand sanitiser dispensers available and social distancing practiced throughout.

Chris is the Sunvil Group’s managing director and is not only responsible for the overall running of the company, the welfare of its staff, the fabric of the building, the efficient working of its computer systems but also for overseeing and contracting much of the accommodation on the GIC The Villa Collection programme. He is a very hands on managing director, a friend and helper to all, mad on aircraft and indefatigable. Chris joined The Greek Islands Club in 1993, after two years running a scouts’ holiday camp in Wales. He was responsible for maintaining The Club’s sailing boats on Paxos and generally acting as a rep for the villas. Sunvil Inherited Chris on purchasing GIC in 1998 and his abilities were quickly realised. He well deserves the top job.
