The regions
Greece has about 6,000 islands and islets, 227 of them inhabited, plus a mainland rich in ancient sites. Your advisor helps you choose the right mix of history, islands and time on the water.
The birthplace of the Olympic Games, first held here in 776 B.C., set among the olive groves and mountain villages of the Peloponnese.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site whose theatre, built around 340 to 330 B.C., is still known for its near-perfect acoustics.
Greece’s second city, with a lively waterfront, Byzantine churches and a food scene that draws travelers from across the country.
An Ionian island under Venetian rule from 1484 to 1797, known today for clear water, sea caves and the cliffs above Navagio Beach.
Green hills, quiet coves and an old town shaped by Venetian, French and British history.
A 46-room hotel in a 1925 building, within sight of the Parthenon
In Athens, we choose the hotel by its view. Our pick has 46 rooms in a neoclassical building from 1925, on Mitropoleos Street in the center of the city. Its rooftop infinity pool and restaurant look out toward the Parthenon, and Plaka and Syntagma Square are a short walk away. Spring and fall are the seasons we’d plan around. Spend your first or last nights in Greece here, and let the islands take the rest of the week. Ask us which hotel it is: tell us your dates and who’s traveling, and we’ll put together a few options for Athens and the islands and compare the value for you. We’d welcome the chance to talk it through in person, over the phone or by video chat.

Clear, calm water and underwater sites for every level of experience.

Wildflowers, mild days and quiet ancient sites, ideal for the mainland and the Peloponnese.
Hot, sunny days and the full island season, with the busiest ferries and beaches in July and August.
Warm seas into October, harvest season and a calmer pace on the islands.
A quiet season for Athens, Thessaloniki and the museums, with many island hotels closed.
Questions
Late May, June, September and early October offer warm weather and sea temperatures with fewer crowds than July and August. Spring is ideal for ancient sites on the mainland.
Greece has about 6,000 islands and islets, and 227 of them are inhabited. Most travelers combine two or three islands with time on the mainland.
It depends on what you enjoy. The Ionian islands such as Corfu, Kefalonia and Zakynthos are green with clear water and beaches, while the Cyclades offer whitewashed villages and island hopping. We help you choose and plan the connections.
Yes. Ferries and short domestic flights connect the mainland with the islands. We plan the order, transfers and timing so you spend less time in transit.
Olympia, where the Olympic Games began in 776 B.C., and the theatre of Epidaurus in the Peloponnese are two of the most rewarding, along with the museums and Byzantine churches of Thessaloniki.
U.S. citizens need a valid passport and can generally visit Greece for up to 90 days without a visa. Entry rules for Europe are changing, so we confirm the current requirements for your trip.
