greece

island by island

Greece has more than 200 inhabited islands, each with its own character. Santorini and Mykonos are the famous names, but Milos, Paros, Sifnos and Folegandros are quieter and just as beautiful.

On the mainland, Athens has the Acropolis and a lively food scene, and the Peloponnese is full of ancient sites and olive groves. Crete, Corfu and Rhodes have history, beaches and space to explore.

We love combining two or three islands, or a mainland villa with a private boat for day trips.
