Holiday-goers headed to the sunny shores of Rhodes and Crete this summer are set to have an even better holiday as the stress of having to unpack their own luggage is being taken away.

Thanks to the first-ever free-of-charge unpacking service created by unique holiday operator,
Eliza was here,
Brits can now spend more time exploring the islands and enjoying their off the beaten track holidays.

The
trial service
comes after new research reveals nearly one in five (19%) never unpack, and over three in five (62%) find unpacking to be a complete nuisance.
Nearly half (47%) of holidaymakers admit they don’t unpack as soon as they arrive at their accommodation and only 28% eventually getting around to unpacking at some point during their
trip.

On average, Brits wait
3 hours and 43 minutes before unloading their belongings, but it comes with resentment, as over two in five (42%) say it makes them feel grumpy, frustrated, overwhelmed or anxious.

Holidays are a time for rest and relaxation, which explains why over one in five (22%)
put off unpacking because they don’t want to do any chores while they’re away. This is most apparent with older Millennials and young Gen X (35-44-year-olds), as a quarter
(25%) reveal they are happy to dip in and out of their cases as and when they need it.

So, to help Brits kickstart their holiday on a positive note, the unpacking service is being
trialled across three accommodations in Greece –
White
Village Rhodes,
Hotel Kouros Rhodes
and Avdou
Collection Suites Crete
– available for anyone booking an
Eliza was here holiday between 15th May and 11th
June*.

Martine Langerak, Head of Communications for
Sunweb Group
said: “People are eager to start their holiday as soon as they step off the plane, and we always strive to go the extra mile to help our customers enjoy themselves as
much as possible. With this in mind, we’re excited to trial our brand-new, first of its kind, unpacking service because it allows our customers to start exploring the beauty Rhodes and Crete as soon as they land.

“At Eliza was here, we’re all about making the most of your holidays and discovering off the beaten track experiences, which is why we have flights,
unique stays and car hire in one neat package, so customers can have a stress-free, convenient holiday at a click of a button.”

For those unable to experience the unpacking service, Eliza was here has partnered with an
award-winning professional organiser,
Lucy Mansey, who comments: “With
three young children, I understand the importance of being organised when it comes to packing and unpacking our luggage when we go on holiday. When we first arrive and I’m trying to unpack, it can often go straight to the bottom of the list as my kids want
to get straight out to the beach.

“The free-of-charge unpacking trial being offered to customers by
Eliza was here is revolutionary in making the lives of holidaymakers, especially those who are parents, easier. This is definitely not an opportunity to miss.”

When it comes to packing and unpacking for your holiday, Lucy shares the following tips:

·
Create a checklist.
Before travelling, write down a checklist of everything you might need and therefore want to pack for while you are away. Checking everything off as you pack will ensure you not only
don’t forget anything on your way out, but equally that you don’t forget to re-pack anything when you return home.

·
Unpack as soon as you arrive.
If you can’t get someone to do it for you and don’t want to be living out of a suitcase all holiday, set aside 30 mins as soon as you arrive to unpack everything you might need. Not
only will this help you feel more relaxed and organised, but it will ensure you use/wear everything you brought with you.

·
Be clever with the space you have available.
Pack items such as swimwear and underwear into other accessories such as bags and even hats.

·
Roll your clothes.
Not only does this allow you to fit more into your suitcase or bag, but it also means they are less likely to be creased when you unpack and hang them up – giving you more time to
spend sipping cocktails by the pool.
