Dear Traveller,
Sun Island Tours is proud to present our 2012 brochure featuring the very best of Greece, Turkey and Cyprus.
We are proud of our long history promoting Greece. The peerless quality of our product and service is built on relationships exceeding 20 years with our operators and hoteliers, and it is for this reason that our clients had access to immediate assistance during the strikes and protests of 2011. I have recently visited Greece myself, and can report that it is once again an excellent destination of choice, and will be particularly good value for our clients in 2012.
Our Greek island hopping packages are the most extensive on offer, and we can customise any such package to your requirements. We have many, many more hotels and tours on offer besides what features in our brochure – just ask and we can assist you with options from the broadest product range in Greece.
Our escorted coach tours in Turkey have been very popular. The ability to combine them with traditional or gulette cruises has become an attractive prospect, as is combining both Turkey and Greece to recreate the true modern Odyssey. If you prefer the unbeaten path, visit Cyprus, a beautiful country both naturally and culturally that is very dear to my heart.
Our Group Department is the most knowledgeable and specialised for the region, and we can organise any tailor-made itineraries for groups of all sizes.
For further information please contact our office or view our website at www.sunislandtours.com.au.
Thank you to our many repeat customers and a warm welcome to our new ones.

EXTEND To GREECEFerry from Marmaris to Rhodes and continue through the Greek Islands.
25 April 1915, the Australians led a massive multi-national attack on Turkey when they landed on beaches around a small cove on the western shore of the Gallipoli Peninsula. This eight and a half month campaign has become a defining period in history for both Australia and Turkey and has since created landmarks such as ANZAC Cove, The Nek, Shrapnel Valley, Beach Cemetery and Lone Pine Cemetery.
Be part of the thousands that travel to Gallipoli to pay homage to the brave souls that lost their lives during the first major military engagement fought by Australian and New Zealand Forces. For all our 2012 ANZAC Day dawn service tours, please contact our office.
