Marpunta Village, Alonnisos, part of the Santikos Collection has signed up its first UK tour operators ready for its re-launch in May 2018.

The property, which was previously run as an Italian holiday club is currently undertaking its second dose of refurbishment works, this time to the main public areas, restaurant and pool following the €3M refurbishment that was completed last season which saw all rooms refurbished and upgraded.

Tour Operators confirmed include; Thomas Cook UK, Olympic Holidays, Classic Collection, Jetline Holiday Group, Fleetway, Alpha Rooms, Beds with Ease, Planet Holidays.

These travel companies will begin marketing and selling the rooms to the UK guests immediately.

Katerina Santikou, business development manager for Santikos Collection said:

“We are thrilled that for our first year operating and marketing to the UK we have such a robust and enthusiastic group of tour operators. All of which have shown excitement for our product and a real eagerness to start sharing it with their discerning clients. Without their help, we would not be able to hit our ambitious targets for next year. Re-launching a resort to a completely new market can be quite a daunting task but with their help we are confident that Marpunta Village is in good hands.”

Olympic Holidays offers seven nights for two people from £1,687 staying in a superior double room with sea view on a B&B basis, arriving on June 3 from London Gatwick. There is a 30% early booking discount for reservations confirmed by Jan 1, 2018.
