Framed by azure waters, peppered with secluded coves and ancient ruins and home to fun-loving locals, Greece is a beautiful destination. Days here are enjoyed slowly, dining on fresh meze, wandering through pastel villages and relaxing on gorgeous coastlines.
Greece is bountiful, fun and jaw-dropping at every turn, making it one of our favourite destinations for a chilled out and unpretentious holiday. Relaxing is easy here, and you’ll soon realise that the locals in Greece have an infectious zest for life. During the day, you’ll find secluded coves where you can snorkel, sunbathe and snack on delicious meze to your heart’s content, whilst the evening brings fun, lively evenings of dancing and dining alongside passionate travellers and locals alike. Whether you fancy relaxation, culture or thrill, Greece has it all.
Greece boasts 227 inhabited islands, and we’ve chosen hotels that reside in the stunning islands of Corfu, Crete, Halkidiki, Rhodes and Kos. Each island has its own personality, yet all offer the fundamentals of a laidback Greek getaway – incredible food, astonishing sunsets and fascinating culture.
Why visit Greece?
Greek food is nothing short of delicious, and best enjoyed outdoors. We implore that you make the most of the fresh flavours the regional food has to offer, from the tang of feta cheese crumbled over crunchy salad, to hearty bowls full of mussels steamed in punchy ouzo. You’ll find many restaurants have long tables outside where you can sit with others and revel in the beauty of enjoying honey drizzled cheese, freshly baked bread and olives in the sunshine.
If you’re searching for a sun-soaked, leisurely holiday by the beach, Greece’s beaches are truly stunning. Crete, Halkidiki and Rhodes, three of the islands we love, are known for having some of the most beautiful beaches in the country. Imagine rugged cliffs framing picturesque bays, with crystal-clear lagoons to enjoy.
A Greek holiday can be as relaxed or as exciting as you like. You could simply spend your hours sunbathing on the beach, exploring tiny local shops, wandering through olive groves and dining by the waterfront. Alternatively, you could hike through mountains, enjoy thrilling water sports and discover fascinating ancient ruins.
Greece is steeped in ancient history, dating back to the earliest writings of the Greek alphabet in the 8th century. Nowadays, you’ll find plenty of places where you can discover more about Greek mythology, history and culture, including Aristotle’s birthplace in Halkidiki, ancient Greek ruins in Kos, and historic monasteries in Crete.
