Craig Farrell, Director of La Collection recently visited the property along with Virtuoso travel advisors from Australia, said he was truly impressed with the property.
“This is more than a luxury hotel that has attracted celebrities and royalty for decades. At Blue Palace it’s possible to be completely immersed in the local culture, something that is important for many Australian and New Zealand travellers.”
“One of the in-house dining options is a traditional Greek Tavern called Blue Door, located in an old fisherman’s hut by the sea. And minutes from the hotel there are so many activities on offer and historical sites that the Blue Palace team will help bring to life. It is a privilege to stay in such a place.
“We are very excited to partner with Blue Palace and help our trade partners send many more people to this part of the world,” Farrell remarked.
Katina Papadomanolakis, Director of Sales and Marketing, Phaea Resorts (which operates Blue Palace) said the hospitality company was thrilled to partner with Lea and Craig.
“The Australian and New Zealand market is very important to us and having local representation is something we have considered for some time. La Collection is the perfect fit and we look forward to a successful relationship.” Papadomanolakis said.
