Luxury holidays in Greece
Swim in a Cycladic cove before breakfast and dine by the harbour after dark. Choose your islands and we book every ferry, flight and hotel so each crossing runs to plan.
It comes off your final price, and is refunded in full if you don't go ahead.
Many travellers arrive feeling they half know Greece already, from family stories or a first visit years ago. What surprises them is the light, sharp and white on the Cyclades, and the ease of the days. There is a morning swim, grilled octopus by the water at lunch, and the sun going down over the caldera, seen from a quiet terrace.
The mainland deserves time too. Athens has the Acropolis and a lively restaurant scene, Delphi sits on a mountainside above olive groves, and the monasteries of Meteora stand on rock pillars near Kalambaka. Nafplio and the Peloponnese bring Venetian ports and ancient theatres. Crete is big enough for a week on its own, and Santorini, Paros and Mykonos are easy to combine by ferry.
