Luxury Greece Holidays FAQ's

Greece enjoys a Mediterranean climate, which means that the sun is at its hottest between June and September. During the dry summer months you can expect the lively buzz of fellow visitors, elevating the charm of the beautiful islands, and the perfect weather for enjoying the beach clubs and stretches of sands. In Greece's peak season, you can expect the best hospitality, more activities and sightseeing options, and glorious sunshine throughout your stay. 

Summer is a popular time for Greece holidays, so be sure to book early to secure your preferred resort. Alternatively, the cooler spring and autumn months are a wonderful time to visit Greece - you can explore the traditional villages and ancient historic sites without the sun beating down too strongly. 

Greek cuisine offers a delightful array of flavours and dishes, reflecting its rich history and Mediterranean climate. Staples include fresh vegetables, olive oil and lean proteins - and, of course, plenty of fresh seafood!

Must-try dishes include moussaka, a layered casserole of eggplant, minced meat and béchamel sauce, and souvlaki, skewered and grilled meat, often served with pita and tzatziki. Greek salads, with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and feta cheese, are very refreshing - especially after a day in the sun! Seafood lovers can savour grilled octopus or succulent grilled fish. Dolmades, stuffed grape leaves, and spanakopita, a spinach and feta pastry, showcase the Mediterranean flavours for vegetarians. Don't forget to indulge in baklava, a sweet pastry, and Greek coffee to end your meal! 

Greece's Capital

The most exquisite historic and cultural spots can be found in the capital, Athens. A city defined by its cool café-culture, the hubbub of the locals as they gather at the local tavernas sipping coffees in the sun is as irresistible as the major sites themselves.

Keep your camera handy wherever you go, because you’ll be tripping over world-famous archaeological treasures like the Acropolis and the Odeon of Hercules. And just a hop and a skip away over on the Apollo Coast, you’ll find glamorous resorts like the Grand Resort Lagonissi with incredible views of the sea, so you can pair your city break with some tome relaxing on the beach.

Greece's Islands

If island life is more tempting for you, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Favourite spots include those like Crete and the Ionian island such as Corfu, the latter being famous for its turquoise waters, craggy coastline and dreamy sandy coves. With the isalnds' seafaring traditions, you'll be able to feast on freshly caught seafood on the pretty coastal tavernas.

Just like many of the Greek islands, you can find hallmarks of its fascinating history peppered across the landscape dating from Roman times. This makes exploration as alluring as the beautiful beaches and the azure waters that border it, while stylish hotels such as Marbella Corfu complete the idyllic picture. Take a boat trip around the coast to fully admire it.

The style-conscious won’t be disappointed with a stay in trendy Mykonos old town. With a harbour that’s pretty as picture, turquoise sea, quaint restaurants and fashionable boutiques, this petite destination has more than enough entertaining nooks and crannies to keep even the restless traveller satisfied.

Exploring

To truly explore the wonders of Greece, immerse yourself in its rare sights, sounds and ambience. Everything about the country has its charms, from the winding Venetian streets of Corfu old town to Crete's intriguing Spinalonga Island. 

From island-hopping to mega-cities, there’s yet another way to submerge yourself in surreally beautiful Greece, including the countryside of mainland areas like Halkidiki. The kind of place dreams are made of, Halkidiki in the northern tip of the country brings you unspoilt natural beauty, stretches of sandy beaches, deep blue waters and bustling towns like Kallithea.
