Trading as Travelworld Vacations Ltd and recognised as the Island Specialist, the company has built lasting relationships with hoteliers across Greece, Cyprus, the Canary Islands, Madeira, The Gambia and beyond. Fully ATOL protected (licence 4108) and a member of ABTA, Olympic Holidays has won gold at the British Travel Awards for nine consecutive years. Their Winter Sun collection brought together a handpicked range of warm-weather escapes across several of these year-round sunshine destinations, giving UK travellers a practical and affordable way to beat the winter cold.

Its team is known for direct, first-hand knowledge of hotels, built through decades of working relationships with individual hoteliers rather than bulk contracting. This approach underpins the range from family-run guesthouses to five-star resorts available across their programmes.
