“The tour operator saw a 3% increase in turnover in 2015, in ratio to a number of tourists similar to that in 2014, despite a difficult year, with many negative events, starting with the financial crisis in Greece and the exodus of refugees, during the peak summer holiday season, and ending with terrorist attacks in various well-known holiday destinations, which affected the tourism industry,” the company said in a statement.

As regards new holiday destinations for 2016, the company has introduced charter packages for Split (Croatia), Algarve (Portugal) and Lefkada (Greece).

Despite all kinds of problems and difficulties in 2015, Greece was the most sought-after destination in the sales of Cocktail Holidays which offered charter holidays in nine Greek islands. Greece was followed by Spain and Turkey.

Cocktail Holidays adds in 2016 a new charter destination to Greece, the Lefkada island, with Parga and Syvota, besides the ones it offers every year: Corfu, Creta-Chania, Creta-Heraklion, Mykonos, Rodos, Santorini, Zakynthos. Two new destinations include Algarve (Portugal) and Split (Croatia).

This year’s holiday offers also include Spain (Barcelona, Costa Brava, Costa Dorada, Costa Blanca, Mallorca, Tenerife), Turkey (Antalya, Bodrum, Kusadasi, Marmaris, Didim), the United Arab Emirates, tourist circuits in Italy, Turkey, Scandinavia, Thailand and Sri Lanka, social holiday packages for Cyprus, Spain, Turkey, Montenegro and exotic islands.
