Destinations in Greece
-
Centre of the ancient world, Athens is every bit as glorious and atmospheric as you'd imagine.
-
The cypress-studded island of Corfu, just off the northwest coast of Greece, is surrounded by the crystalline waters of the Ionian Sea.
-
The birthplace of Minoan civilisation was bound to be beautiful, cultured and rich in history; the island’s Riviera-rivalling beaches, mysterious caves and deeply traditional, hospitable locals are unexpected extras.
-
Over Santorini? Meet its sister island, the quiet and less touristy Folegandros, less than an hour away by catamaran.
-
Aquamarine skies, turquoise waters, crystal-white sands: Halkidiki's beautiful Blue Flag beaches are underpopulated, unspoilt and utterly Instagram-worthy.
-
The Greek gods themselves couldn’t help but find the Ionian Islands a paradise: boutique hotels and secluded villas; seas as clear-cut as a diamond; and miles of soft-as-velvet sands.
-
Mykonos was the first Greek island to be ‘discovered’ in the Fifties; Chora, the main town, rapidly gained a reputation as the Cyclades’ most happening harbour.
-
Greek island Naxos is dotted with sandy stretches of beach, ancient ruins and blue-and-white Byzantine churches.
-
Picturesque Paros operates on a decidedly lower key than its more crowded Cycladic cousins, but once you get on her lulling level, the island will unveil her unadorned charms: traditional tavernas, rolling hills and a bounty of beaches to bask on.
-
Named after an ancient hero who won a chariot race and then a kingdom, the finger-shaped Peloponnese is a timeless corner of mainland Greece…
-
This rugged Aegean beauty, the southernmost of the Cyclades, is famed for its sunsets, wine and the turquoise sea that surrounds it.
-
Holidays to Greek islands aren’t exactly a new idea, but today's Skiathos is home to a wildly romantic, family-ready resort, extolling a brand of luxury unheard of in these parts for decades.
-
Accessible only by sea, it’s easy to see why Spetses is the retreat of choice for affluent Athenians. The best way to enjoy the town’s mansion-strewn skyline is from offshore: waterskiing, sailing or swimming in the sun-sparkled Aegean.
-
Cradling the crook of an Aegean bay, Thessaloniki is a beguiling port city with a stormy past and vibrant, cosmopolitan present.
