The specialist tour operator for Greece and Cyprus (so far) Olympic Holidays is adding Albania to its program this summer. At the same time, it is adding destinations in Greece and Cyprus.
Olympic Holidays describes Albania, Greece’s unexplored neighbor, as a destination “remarkably free from mass tourism despite its stunning scenery” and “attractively accessible for visitors from the United Kingdom”.
Albania, as it points out, is known for its coastline, cuisine, wine, mountains, castles, and ancient buildings included in the Unesco list.
Seven-night stays at Hotel Amelia Mare, Golem, Albania cost from £581 on a B&B basis, including flights departing from Heathrow in May.
Olympic Holidays’ new destinations in Greece and Cyprus
The specialist tour operator’s new additions to Greece include Lesvos, Karpathos, Evia, Hydra, and Sifnos, as well as the Agia Galini area of ??Crete.
In Cyprus, the picturesque mountain village of Lefkara in the Troodos Mountains has been added.
Lesvos, Greece’s third largest island, is described as “the unspoiled secret of the Aegean”, while Evia, Greece’s second largest island after Crete, is often overlooked by visitors rushing to get to more well-known destinations.
Karpathos, located halfway between Crete and Rhodes, is “spectacular” but much less visited than its more famous neighbors.
Hydra became famous for the visits of artists, musicians, and actors since the 1950s, Olympic reports, highlight that vehicles are banned on the island, which has a “wonderfully peaceful atmosphere.”
Sifnos is known for its gastronomic heritage and marked hiking trails, while Agia Galini on Crete’s southern coast attracts nature lovers and hikers.
