More information on Greece
A few helpful details to make planning your Greece holiday feel effortless.
The best time to visit Greece is from May to June and September to October, when the weather is warm, the sea is perfect for swimming and crowds are lower. July and August offer guaranteed sunshine and a lively atmosphere, ideal for beach holidays and island hopping.
While Santorini and Mykonos are iconic, they can be busy and expensive in peak season. For a more rounded experience, many travellers prefer:
- Crete – scale, variety, food, beaches, culture
- Rhodes – historic towns + great coastline
- Corfu – greener, more relaxed, great for longer stays
We often recommend pairing a headline island with a more authentic second destination for balance.
Island hopping sounds appealing, but it depends on your priorities. Ferries can be time-consuming and occasionally unpredictable.
- Best for: travellers who want variety and don’t mind logistics
- Single-centre or twin-centre: better for a more relaxed, premium experience
We typically design low-friction multi-centre trips using flights or well-timed ferry routes rather than overpacking itineraries.
Timing and location are key:
- Travel in May, June, or September
- Stay just outside major hotspots (e.g. Imerovigli instead of central Santorini)
- Choose islands like Naxos, Paros or lesser-known parts of Crete
We focus on “right place, right hotel, right timing” rather than avoiding popular destinations entirely.
“4-star” in Greece can vary more than in other destinations. That’s why we:
- Focus on true 4★ superior and 5★ properties
- Prioritise location, design, service and guest experience over just rating
- Avoid large, dated resorts unless they deliver exceptional value
Every property we recommend is individually vetted, not just category-selected.
