Each Greek island possesses its own individual charm and there are plenty of options when it comes to booking a luxury getaway. Our Greece luxury holidays can easily incorporate more than one island idyll, so you can experience everything that the archipelago has to offer. Santorini is a strong contender for the most romantic Cycladic island and ‘luxurious’ is an apt description for the blissful way of life here. A patchwork of white-washed villas with royal blue roofs adorn the clifftops, overlooking an equally vibrant aquamarine ocean. In the evening, the azure sky fades into shades of orange and red, and the charming coastal town of Oia has some spectacular sunset viewing spots.
Combine a stay on this much-loved atoll with a visit to the more secluded Sifnos, where local chef Nicholas Tselementes created the original Greek recipe book in 1910, bestowing the area with a well-maintained reputation as the top foodie island in Greece. Enjoy traditional revithia (chickpea stew), slow-cooked lamb and kaparosalata (caper salad), followed by indulgent Sifnian melopita (honey pie). In between these Greek feasts, swimming, sailing and exploring the nearby island of Polyaigos are the perfect activities to fill your day with.
Another hidden gem is the Ionian Island of Paxos, the mythological refuge for God of the Sea, Poseidon, and his lover Amphitrite. This island is a dream destination for those who are in search of a luxury beach escape and wish to spend their time relaxing on the soft white sand. History lovers can take a journey back in time with a private tour of Athens, a city with a rich cultural, artistic and political past, where you’ll see the iconic Parthenon and Acropolis. This is one of the major appeals of our Greece luxury holidays; the exclusive access we have to some of the best-kept secrets of the Aegean and Ionian Seas. If your idea of luxury involves a tranquil time away from the crowds, we can also tailor your trip to include some lesser-known spots along the Grecian archipelago.
