If you like your feta drizzled with olive oil, fish cooked in ouzo, and holidays laced with sunshine, chances are you’ll find your joy somewhere from the Acropolis to the Aegean Sea. Step into the ring where Olympians first competed, trek up volcanoes and sail around strings of dramatic islands floating in piercing blue waters. Whether you're an ancient history buff, a major adrenaline junkie, ouzo enthusiast or beach connoisseur, make like lightning and head to Greece.
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.
-
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.
