Our Bite-Sized Greece Trips

When it comes to mainland Greece, most folks tend to fixate on Athens alone, but there are so many other hidden treasures waiting to be uncovered! This region boasts a rich culture that is for the taking. Traditional temples from the time of Zeus, ancient monasteries and an oracle that predicted the future. The landscape is dominated by lush green pine trees with idyllic beaches to cool off in.

The Peloponnese is the largest peninsula of Greece and a hidden gem, with its rugged mountains, golden sandy beaches and picturesque villages, all packed together with a vibrant culture. Go rafting down a mountain river, ouzo tasting in Nafplio or explore the Laguna at Gialova on a rental boat.

The Ionian Islands are a delightful departure from the ordinary Greek experience. Pastel-coloured houses with orange roofs, fishing boats bobbing on a crystal clear sea and a lush green interior. White pebble beaches are a feast for the eyes and the short ferry crossing are an adventure in themselves.

When it comes to the Cyclades, Santorini often takes centre stage in people's minds. The iconic white houses with blue roofs, unforgettable sunsets that you have to experience from Oia and unique black beaches make it obvious why. As well as this, discover the lesser-known islands, like Amorgos, or the long sandy beaches of Naxos. Go island hopping and combine these islands for the ultimate Greece feeling.

Crete is the largest island in Greece, nestle in the southernmost reaches. While it is mostly known as a beach destination, Crete is a treasure trove of diverse experiences waiting to be explored. Walk through the majestic Imbros or Samaria gorge and visit small fishing villages, like the charming Mochlos. Rent a car and explore the island at your own pace. There are certainly enough tavernas along the way offering delectable feasts of fresh squid and tantalizing traditional delicacies.
