Travel A La Carte�s Greece 2009

Travel a la carte

Travel � la carte has been a specialist operator to Greece for almost 30 years, through good times and bad. The key to our longevity? Accommodation of character on a select range of islands and the highest levels of staff service and expertise. We aim to ensure these qualities continue to bring us many more years of success.

The heart of our Greek programme is tiny Paxos, a haven of unchanging tranquillity that lures admirers back year after year. We are mainly in picturesque Loggos, the prettiest and quietest of the coastal villages, with apartments and houses offering enchanting sea views, proximity to beaches and tavernas, and quiet locations in the olive groves. In a new venture for 2009, we are also teaming up with special interest holiday provider Paxos Life Activities, who will be offering a range of courses including journalism, creative writing, painting, photography and theatre, as well as scuba diving and Greek cultural activities. Accommodation rental prices on Paxos start at �202 for a week at an apartment for two in early May.

Symi and Halki, in the eastern Aegean, are two other firm favourites of Travel a la carte�s clients. Cosmopolitan Symi is best known for the beauty of the town�s architecture and the excellence of its restaurants, while Halki town, a huddle of narrow streets almost free of traffic, provides the quietest possible getaway from the pressures of modern life. Both are reached by boat from Rhodes and rental prices start at �470 for a week at Roula studio on Halki in May.

Completing our Greek programme are the Sporades islands in the northern Aegean. Skiathos offers some of the best sandy beaches in the Mediterranean, while neighbours Skopelos and Alonissos, a short hydrofoil journey from Skiathos, are for those seeking a quieter, less tourist-oriented Greece. Rental prices here start at �414 for a studio for two just behind Koukounaries beach on Skiathos.

Prices given are for the accommodation and include maid service, linen, welcome pack and the services of our local representatives. Travel � la carte also offers a full meet & greet service, including all transfers, from �67 per person, and can offer expert advice on flights from a range of UK airports.

Travel � la carte is an ABTA-bonded company with membership number V2429
