Fly to Let buyers investing in one of the three-bedroom villas at Halcyon Hills, Samos, Greece are being offered an unexpected bonus - a free Fairline Targa 38 Express Cruiser.

Samos is a favourite stop off for the yachting fraternity in the Mediterranean. The island already benefits from a new state of the art marina at Pythagorio and the completion of the Halcyon Hills Marina in 2011, will make Samos even more attractive to boating enthusiasts.

The developers of the Halcyon Hills resort are offering to give away a fraction of a Fairline Targa 38 with every fraction of a three bedroom villa.

Robin Barrasford, Managing Director of Barrasford & Bird and a Founding Member of the AIPP said: “With the new marina at Pythagorio, the Halcyon Hills marina and the newly completed Didim marina on the coast of Turkey, it made sense for us to offer something property buyers in this region would appreciate.

“Fairline is a well known luxury supplier of fabulous motorboats and the brand certainly emulates the luxury and opulence of Halcyon Hills.”

Fractional ownership of a three-bedroom villa is available at £70,000 and owners receive their fraction of a Fairline express cruiser from the moment they receive their keys on completion of the resort in 2011.
