Sun Island Tours was established in Sydney in 1989 by Lakis and Celia Polyviou, as a small wholesale travel company specialising in the Mediterranean. With a Cypriot origin, the company’s first brochure destination was Cyprus. The following year, Sun Island Tours expanded its range to offer destinations including Greece, Turkey, Italy, Egypt and Israel.
In 2003 the founders’ sons Paul and John joined the business and ultimately built the family business to become one of the most renowned and respected brands in the Australian travel industry.
With a focus on specialised product and unbeatable insider knowledge, Sun Island Tours is today the largest niche wholesaler in Australia for Mediterranean products, offering all sorts of tours, cruises and inspiring holiday packages.
