A new Greek specialist tour operator has launched with plans to sell accommodation-only bookings through the trade. 

Escape to Greece launched this month under ski operator Holiday World Ltd, which also operates the brands American Ski Classics and Travel Israel. 

It offers bespoke holidays to 27 destinations in Greece, with over 400 properties ranging from boutique hotels to villas.

Properties can be booked as accommodation only through the trade. The operator also offers flight-inclusive packages, but its Atol licence means these can only be sold direct to consumers. 

Agents can sign up and make bookings online via the operator’s Travel Agent Login at the footer section of the website. They will receive commission for sales made.

“Escape to Greece has been born out of our love for Greece, its islands and the hospitable people,” said founder Peter Brennan. 

“We have personally chosen our properties from the simple-style Lemon Tree Houses in Folegandros to the latest in stylish luxury such as Cayo Resort and Spa in Crete with its minimalist tones and incredible design influences.

“Many of the properties are exclusive to us and our aim is to fill the gaps between the large operators who don’t offer the smaller islands and other Greek specialists who cannot always offer the depth of accommodation choice in each destination nor instant live availability.”

Holiday World Ltd operates two other brands: American Ski Classics and Travel Israel.
