Mykonos and Santorini are very popular with UK and international travellers. Yet until now the islands have proved difficult to access with most flight routes requiring a stopover in Athens. For transatlantic travellers who may already have multiple legs to their trip, the new direct flights from London's Heathrow will be a welcome option. According to IAVRA Partner JC Moquette, "In spite of the economic instability in the country over the last few years, Greece continues to attract tourists. In fact, it remains one of IAVRA's most popular European vacation rental destinations for the months of July and August with UK and international agents alike. And with the introduction of more convenient flight routes from early next summer we are confident that our property agents in Mykonos and Greece will see an increase in enquiries for their properties."
IAVRA gives travel agents access to over 430 professionally managed properties in Greece. These holiday rentals are represented directly by 13 of the region's most reputable property management companies including Aqualiving, Beyond Spaces and new IAVRA agent Once Upon a Villa. The Greek portfolio on IAVRA is varied both in the destinations it covers as well as the price point, offering properties for as little as €400 a week for a 2-bedroom villa with private pool to 60,000 euros a week for a 16-bedroom luxury villa in Mykonos. With the introduction of two weekly direct flights from London to Mykonos starting from 3 May 2014 and to Santorini from 4 May 2014, IAVRA will be looking to bring on new property agents in the region to help satisfy the expected increase in demand for alternative holiday accommodation options. Flights are now on sale for May departures at BA.com.
