The Greek Islands holidays

Long lunches. A different shade of blue.

Find an island that fits your holiday, from a relaxed family base to a journey with more than one stop. Greece’s islands are wonderfully varied; the best choice starts with how you want to spend your days.

The Greek Islands

Make it your kind of trip.

Choose by atmosphere

A busy harbour, a beach resort and a village stay offer different daily rhythms. Talk through the places you want within walking distance.

Let one island be enough

There is no requirement to island-hop. A single base can leave more room for local food, beaches and an occasional day trip.

Make connections part of the plan

If you do want multiple islands, choose a route that works with the transport network. Not every pair of islands makes an easy combination.

Check ferry arrangements

Routes and schedules vary. Allow sensible time between boats and flights, and discuss alternatives if sea conditions disrupt travel.

Think about access

Some picturesque locations involve steps, steep paths or a journey down to the beach. Confirm the property’s precise location and access.

Compare shoulder-season options

Ask which services and facilities will be operating during your dates. A quieter stay can also mean a different choice of restaurants or transport.
