Holidays to Greece

Holidays to Greece are things of legend. They bring the wow factor with ancient ruins, beautiful beaches for sun gods and goddesses and seafood that is borderline mythical.

A coastline for every occasion

Greece’s beaches take some beating. With 8,500 miles of coastline across the Mediterranean, Aegean and Ionian seas and more than 200 inhabited islands, there’s a stretch of sand for every kind of beach day.

Sit and sizzle on some of Paleokastritsa’s shores in Corfu – pack merely a book and smile. Or kick it up a notch with waterskiing, windsurfing, kite surfing and plenty more board-based boredom busters in Rhodes or Crete.

If you prefer beach aesthetics to beach activities, head for the Aegean’s Cyclades archipelago for a sunset you’ll never forget. Ouzo optional (but recommended. Yamas!).

Modern luxuries in Ancient Greece

Greece isn’t all cheap beach breaks, whitewashed buildings and mountains of moussaka, feta and salad (alright, Greek salad). It’s also ouzo-ing in culture - it’s the birthplace of Western civilisation.

In Athens, book a tour of the big names – the Acropolis, Agora and Parthenon – or just wander into any local town to see something straight from the pages of a history book. Take a run out to Olympia or an island hopper to the Theatre of Epidaurus, across the bay from Athens. Or get all romantic and watch the sunset from the Temple of Poseidon’s clifftop.

Hop from holiday to holiday

You’ll never run out of room to roam in Greece. Go for cold beers and ancient sites in Athens. Take donkey rides for sensational volcano-meets-crystal-clear-water views in luxurious Santorini. And hit Mykonos for untamed all-nighters in epic bars and clubs.

From nearly all of the islands, you can go on boat trips for BBQs in quiet coves, snorkelling in craggy caves or floating in silence miles out to sea. Or mix it up a little more with a multi-stop break across three, four, five or more islands in a week or two.
