Activities

Greece has a landscape that conjures up romantic images of a Mediterranean idyll - captivating holidaymakers time and time again. Choose from an array of self catering accommodation from which you can walk through olive groves, linger in ancient sites, roam from the beaches of impossibly turquoise waters to rocky mountains and explore breathtaking scenery along the way. The mainland boasts intriguing ancient Greek ruins such as the Parthenon and of course the bustling capital of Athens. Visitors are invited to discover delicious Greek cuisine - from moussaka and souvlaki to kleftiko and tzatziki or just a simple Greek salad with feta cheese, tomatoes and cucumber and warm freshly baked bread. Beyond the mainland, Greece comprises some 6,000 islands and islets scattered in the Aegean and Ionian Sea. The Greek islands boast beaches stretching many kilometres, sheltered bays and coves and coastal caves. An island hopping vacation is a popular way to explore the magic of the smaller islands - with plenty of ferries to transport you between places like Crete, Corfu and Rhodes. Stay in white washed cottages with vibrantly painted shutters that shimmer in the summer heat or choose a stylish villa with pool that's just a stone's throw from the local Greek taverna - open late so you can make the best of the warm weather from May to October.
