Silver Travel Advisor Partner - Simpson Travel - Greek Islands

See the Greek Islands in a new light with our unique collection of luxury villas and boutique hotels

Simpson Travel is an award-winning specialist tour operator offering luxury villa and hotel holidays to outstanding destinations across Europe and the Mediterranean. With an industry heritage spanning 40 years, Graham Simpson established the company in 2002 based on the founding principles of exceptional service, expert knowledge and flexibility of choice. Committed to providing the type of holiday we would like to experience ourselves, we treat our guests as individuals, putting them at the heart of everything we do.

All Simpson Travel properties are unique; whether hand-picked for their breathtaking view, sublime location or characterful interior, they all offer distinctive luxury accommodation in a magical setting. Our diverse portfolio includes a wide range of options including romantic retreats on the Greek islands, traditional farmhouses in Mallorca, idyllic Corsican villas, expansive French chateaux, charming Italian trulli and fabulously high-end villas in Turkey.

Our Adult Only hotels offer a sophisticated solution for a relaxed grown-up break, even in the height of the summer holidays, and since many of our packages include flights and transfers or car hire, we’ve done the planning so that you can sit back and enjoy the journey. Our service is as unobtrusive as it is professional, and your dedicated Simpson Travel representative will be on hand to help you get as much (or as little) out of your Greek experience as your wish. And for added peace of mind, our holidays also benefit from the highest level of financial protection.

Relaxation comes in many forms, so whatever your preference let Simpson Travel be your guide.

Simpson Travel’s villas and hotels in Corfu

The essence of the north east corner of Corfu can be found in its lush green landscapes, stunning secluded bays, waterfront tavernas, small picturesque harbours and friendly locals. The capital, Corfu Town is a splendid mix of historical influences, particularly Italianate, with its Venetian architecture, fortress and museums. The whole island has a vibrancy, with tourists and Corfiots mingling happily together and most of our properties are located in the fashionable area of bustling Kassiopi and around the picturesque village of Aghios Stefanos. A drive inland to Old Perithia comes highly recommended; nestled just below the peak of Mount Pantokrator (the highest mountain on Corfu), it is the oldest village on the island. Though mostly in ruins, there are several thriving tavernas where recipes have been handed down over the centuries to produce delicious dishes in a truly rustic setting.

Simpson Travel’s villas and hotels in Crete

Crete epitomises the beauty and tradition of Greece, with rolling olive groves, snow-capped mountains, and pristine beaches where broad blue skies blend into the sea. Our contemporary beachside villas and stylish hotels are ideal for guests seeking to relax in the sun, whilst our rural adult-only Arosmari Village hotel, with its charming amphitheatre hosting weekly concerts, is the perfect base from which to experience traditional Crete. Throughout the island, abundant wildlife and flourishing flora provide a stunning backdrop to the country’s ancient history and the ruins of the Minoan civilisation at Knossos are a truly remarkable window on another time.
