Greece
THINK GREECE and you conjure up pictures of rustic tavernas serving fresh-landed fish, dazzling ancient sites and hedonistic beach life.
Greece boats an astonishing 10,000 miles of coast and 1,400 islands, scattered across the Aegean and the Ionian seas. The Cyclades islands are quintessential Greece – whitewashed cubist houses, windmills and olive groves. Take your pick from hedonistic Mykonos to stunning Santorini.
Crete
Packed with Byzanine chapels, Minoan ruins and ancient relics, Crete is the Mediterranean's largest island. Head to the southern coast for a taste of traditional, timeless Crete, hone your tan on endless sandy beaches or explore the spectacularly rugged interior.
Mykonos
Topped by its trademark windmills and white sugar-cube houses, sun-kissed Mykonos is the legendary party island of the Cyclades. Hedonists adore the place. Sun lounger society thrives here by day, while the effervescent club scene takes over after dark.
Santorini
Throw together spellbinding sunsets, the impossibly blue waters of the Aegean, and a vast volcanic bay ringed by a curtain wall of cliffs, and you’ll soon see why Santorini seduces the senses. The view across the volcanic caldera has become one of the iconic images of Greece.
Rhodes
Over 300 days of blue skies a year will guarantee that holiday tan on the island of Rhodes, near the Turkish coast. Steeped in ancient history, Rhodes also has some great beaches and plenty of nightlife. You can also take boat trips to half a dozen neighbouring islands.
