Island-Hopping Bliss

With thousands of islands, each with its own personality, Greece is an island-hopping paradise. From the romantic sunsets of Santorini to the laid-back vibes of Corfu, the choice is endless. Whether you're sailing the Cyclades or relaxing on a quiet Ionian beach, there’s an island with your name on it.

Culture and History Escapes

If you love your holidays with a side of ancient mythology, Greece is unbeatable. Visit crumbling temples, grand amphitheatres, and archaeological wonders dating back thousands of years. Whether in Athens or the palace ruins of Crete, you’re walking through the pages of history.

Beach and Relaxation Retreats

Turquoise waters, soft sands, and hidden coves—Greece is made for beach lovers. Many resorts mix lazy days by the sea with luxury spas, sunset dining, and slow-paced village life. It’s the perfect place to switch off and soak up the good life (preferably with a glass of ouzo in hand!).

With its whitewashed villages, ancient ruins, sun-drenched islands and legendary hospitality, Greece is a destination that feels like a dream. Whether you're chasing myths among ancient temples, hopping from island to island, or feasting by the Aegean, Greece offers a perfect mix of adventure, beauty, and easygoing charm. It’s not just a holiday—it’s a feeling.

Birthplace of Democracy and Philosophy

Greece is the cradle of Western civilisation. It gave the world democracy, philosophy, theatre and the Olympic Games. Think of names like Plato, Aristotle and Socrates—yes, they all walked these lands! The influence of ancient Greece still echoes today in art, politics and literature across the globe.

It Has Over 6,000 Islands

While only around 200 Greek islands are inhabited, the full archipelago counts over 6,000! From big-name favourites like Santorini and Rhodes to tiny secret gems only accessible by boat, every island has its own story, traditions, and scenery to fall in love with.

Greek Food is More Than Delicious—It’s a Way of Life

Food in Greece is all about sharing, celebrating and savouring. From slow-roasted lamb to crisp-fried courgette, tangy feta, honey-drenched pastries, and the freshest seafood imaginable—Greek cuisine is simple, flavour-packed and incredibly satisfying. Oh, and don’t skip the baklava!

Weather

Greece enjoys a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters. The best time to visit is from May to October, when the islands are sunny, the sea is warm, and the tavernas are buzzing. July and August are peak season—great for nightlife and festivals, but also the hottest and busiest months. May, June, September and early October offer sunshine with fewer crowds—perfect for a relaxed getaway or cultural exploring.

Spoken Languages and Currency

The official language is Greek, but English is widely spoken, especially in tourist destinations, hotels and restaurants. The locals are famously friendly, and even a simple “kalimera” (good morning) goes a long way. The local currency is the Euro (€), and most places accept cards, although it’s handy to carry a bit of cash in smaller villages or markets.
