Greece expansion from Thomas Cook

Thomas Cook is providing even greater choice for Brits wanting to holiday in Greece this summer with its new destination ? the Olympus Riviera ? opening its doors on May 2.

The resort is located on the eastern coast of the mainland and the operator is offering weekly flights from Manchester, Birmingham and Gatwick into Greece?s second largest city, Thessaloniki.

The accommodation ranges from small authentic hotels in the picturesque town of Litochoro, to larger hotels with a wider range of facilities. These include the new four-star SENTIDO Mediterranean Village, set on the beachfront in the coastal town of Paralia, as the latest Greek addition to the operator's exclusive range of SENTIDO Hotels & Resorts. Ideally suited to adults and small families, the hotels offer the ideal mix of relaxation and activities. Features include an impressive lagoon-style pool, a luxury spa, five restaurants offering locally sourced food and views of Mount Olympus.

Guests staying in the Olympus Riviera region will be able to quickly immerse themselves in the local culture by visiting the traditional villages and historical sites dotted throughout the countryside, including the Holy Meteora Monastery, which was featured in the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only.

The company's 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. Located just 80km from Mount Olympus, known as the home of the Greek gods in Greek mythology, the area is ideal for nature lovers with its beautiful hiking trails, as well as those who are looking for a more relaxing stay.?

A seven-night, half board at the four-star SENTIDO Mediterranean Village costs from ?449 per person, departing from Manchester on May 2.
