Greece Holidays

Sugar cube villages, ancient ruins, rounds of mezes and ouzo – Greece’s assets have been delighting holidaymakers for years. Greece is the land of second-to-none beaches, round-the-clock nightlife and miles of sandy beaches.

The biggest of the Greek Islands, Crete features miles of beautiful beaches, such as those in the Chania area, as well as famous ancient sites. Close to Heraklion you’ll find the ruins of the Minoan Palace of Knossos, and, in Rethymnon, the Venetian fortresses.

Look to the north-west on a map of the Ionian Islands and you’ll come across Corfu, home to Acharavi –with its family-owned tavernas and secluded beaches – as well as to the lively party town of Kavos. To the south of Corfu, you’ll find Zante highlighted by the quiet towns of Alykanas and Kalamaki. Kefalonia is the island of quaint villages and scenic sandy beaches.

The South Aegean Islands offer plenty of memorable holiday experiences – from the wide sandy beaches of Kardamena and Psalidi on Kos to the well-preserved old town of Rhodes’ capital.

The main draws on the mainland are Halkidiki and the Olympia Coast. Home to world-class sandy beaches and cypress-dotted landscapes, these regions also allow for daytrips to cities like Thessaloniki and Athens.
