Rhodes.

Rhodes brings medieval history and the brilliant blue Aegean together in one remarkable island. Wander through the UNESCO-listed Old Town and its stone lanes, then visit the Palace of the Grand Master. In Lindos, whitewashed houses cluster beneath the acropolis, with beaches and beautiful coastal views nearby.

For an active holiday, mix east-coast beach days with excursions to traditional villages and natural attractions. Rhodes works especially well for couples, families and groups who want history, swimming, dining and plenty of accommodation choices.

Elounda – Crete.

Elounda is known for its sheltered bay, peaceful waterfront and inviting places to stay. Spend slow mornings by the sea, enjoy a gentle coastal stroll and discover the flavours of Cretan cuisine. Nearby Plaka is a lovely place to start exploring this corner of eastern Crete.

A trip to Spinalonga adds a fascinating historical chapter, while Agios Nikolaos offers lively cafés, shopping and evening outings. If you are looking for sea views, relaxed days and memorable food, Elounda makes a welcoming base.

Astypalea.

Astypalea, the “butterfly island”, offers whitewashed architecture, a peaceful island atmosphere and postcard-worthy views. Its hilltop Chora, Venetian castle and windmills make a beautiful setting for an evening stroll, while small villages and beaches invite a slower pace.

Leave room for spontaneous exploration: choose a beach based on the wind, try local dishes and watch the sunset from Chora. Astypalea is a wonderful choice for travellers who enjoy authentic island life away from a packed schedule.

Alonnisos.

On Alonnisos, lush green hills run almost to the water’s edge. Clear-water beaches, small harbours and the atmospheric Old Village make it easy to switch off. Begin in Patitiri, the island’s harbour, then make time for the viewpoints and narrow lanes of the old settlement.

Agios Dimitrios, Kokkinokastro and sea excursions offer something new each day. The surrounding National Marine Park is ecologically important, so always follow local access rules and wildlife-protection guidance on boat trips and visits.

Preveza.

Preveza is an inviting summer escape on the Greek mainland. The waterfront promenade, marina and lively old-town lanes create a laid-back atmosphere, while long beaches and natural landscapes are waiting just beyond the centre.

Combine a swim in the Ionian Sea with a visit to ancient Nicopolis and a seafood meal by the water. Preveza is particularly convenient for road trips, family holidays and travellers who like to visit a different beach each day.

Corfu.

Corfu has a personality all its own: Venetian architecture, green landscapes and a coast that alternates between sandy beaches and small coves. The UNESCO-listed Old Town, with its arcaded Liston, squares and fortresses, deserves at least a day of exploration.

Mix cultural walks with scenic drives, boat trips and swimming on different sides of the island. Corfu suits family holidays, romantic breaks and travellers who want to combine Greek summer scenery with history, architecture and great food.
