Thomas Cook expands its Greece programme
Thomas Cook has added the Olympus Riviera in Greece to its programme from May 2 following the launch of Mykonos last year and Thassos in 2016.
Located on the eastern coast of the mainland, the region will be served by weekly flights from Manchester, Birmingham and Gatwick to Thessaloniki, Greece’s second largest city.
It will be featuring accommodation ranging from small hotels in the town of Litochoro, to larger properties, including the new four-star SENTIDO Mediterranean Village in the coastal town of Paralia.
The family-friendly SENTIDO includes a lagoon-style pool, a spa and five restaurants.
Thomas Cook product director Tony Hopkins said: "As Greece continues to grow in popularity, we want to ensure we’re offering our customers a breadth of choice when it comes to both destinations and hotels."
