Simpson Travel features Peloponnese for first time

Villa and boutique hotel operator Simpson Travel has unveiled an expanded programme for 2025, with the Peloponnese in Greece being introduced as a destination for the first time.

The 2025 programme will also see Simpson’s largest collection of villas in the Ionian islands, including Corfu, Lefkada, Ithaca, Meganissi and Kefalonia, as well as new villas in Crete.

Along with new partner hotels in Greece, Mallorca and France, new villas have been added across the portfolio in Mallorca, Corsica, Turkey, Italy and mainland France.

Four new riverside luxury villas in Dalyan, Turkey, are also featured for 2025.

Overall, more than 50 new villas and eight new partner hotels have been added to the range on offer.

Ed Pyke, managing director, said: “The addition of the Peloponnese as a new destination is very much in line with our growth strategy – expanding our choice of destinations where we can offer clients properties that meet our exacting standards as well as sourcing exclusive new properties to add to our current portfolio.

“In the Peloponnese we have introduced some beautiful villas and two superb partner hotels. As a destination, it offers everything that we look for in line with our ‘road less travelled’ ethos, with its miles of unspoilt beaches, beautiful landscapes and a feeling of Greece as it was 40 years ago.”

He added: “Having been appointed managing director earlier this year from my previous role as operations director, and with our new structure and investment partner, RCP (Risk Capital Partners), it’s been an exciting period of development for the company.

“With early bookings and initial interest in 2025 very strong, we’re looking forward to a successful year ahead and working with our agent partners into the future.”
