Classic Collection debuts ‘biggest-ever’ Greece and Cyprus brochure
James ChappleClassic Collection has issued its biggest-ever Greece and Cyprus brochure featuring 210 properties in total, 92 of which are new to the operator.
The 244-page brochure spans boutique properties, adult-only hotels, family-focused all-inclusive resorts, and larger luxury options and villas. Destinations include Athens, mainland Greece, the Peloponnese, 11 Greek islands and Cyprus.
It highlights twin- and multi-centre holidays, as well as island-hopping suggestions, with flights from a range of UK airports with multiple airlines. Classic said the brochure was "its most comprehensive ever". E-brochures are available from the Classic Collection website, while printed copies can be ordered via Tradegate.
Alex Gavalda, Classic director of internal sales, product and commercial, said he hoped the new collection would ensure the operator remains a "go-to" for agents.
Zakynthos has been added to Classic’s Greek islands programme, with an initial eight properties ranging from family-friendly resorts to design hotels, while extra hotels have been added in Athens and along the Athens riviera, including the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel.
In the Peloponnese, meanwhile, Classic has signed the W Costa Navarino hotel, which recently featured in Daniel Craig’s latest Knives Out movie, Glass Onion.
Gavalda also revealed Classic has inked new commercial agreements with Grecotel, Stella and Mitsis to offer more five-star options, complementing its partnership with Sani and Ikos Resorts.
Last year, Classic hosted its inaugural overseas agent awards in Cyprus, which Gavalda said had been a springboard for some "game-changing" additions to its product line-up in Cyprus.
"Properties such as Cap St Georges and City of Dreams Mediterranean bring welcome innovation to Cyprus’ luxury hotel sector, with the introduction of Michelin-starred guest chefs, private yachting experiences and Europe’s largest casino, he said.
"The Amara in Limassol is an outstanding property, home to the only Nobu restaurant on the island, and catering for customers in search of the finest luxury product.
"There have also been a number of new and refurbished hotel openings in both Larnaca and Paphos, and we have also increased our product offering in these areas accordingly."
