Where to holiday in Greece

Corfu Mondays from Gatwick, Bristol and Manchester Corfu remains one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean. Our selected areas – quiet sandy Maltas in the south, rugged Aghios Gordis in the west, and the famously scenic north-east coastline – avoid the honey-pots and give the chance to discover why Corfu has held generations of visitors enthralled.
Paxos Mondays from Gatwick, Bristol and Manchester Silvery Paxos may be small but it is perfectly formed! Very pretty, wonderful for walking and lapped by the clearest of seas, be prepared to fall under the spell of a truly enchanting isle.
Lefkas and Meganissi Sundays from Gatwick and Manchester Lefkas, linked to the mainland by a bridge, combines a true island atmosphere with access by car to the delights of Epirus. Although only a short drive from Preveza Airport, Lefkas remains largely traditional and unspoilt. Meganissi, just half-an-hour from Lefkas by ferry, offers a peaceful retreat away from the crowds.
Kefalonia and Ithaca Saturdays from Gatwick and Manchester Kefalonia boasts dramatic scenery, strong traditions and marvellous beaches. It will reward exploration many times over. Legendary Ithaca is little-visited and sleepy. Was this the home of Odysseus? Judge for yourself…
Zakynthos Sundays from Gatwick and a range of regional airports Zakynthos will surprise you. It is a gentle island of wooded hills, rural valleys and a warm-hearted people. Our selected areas, as you would expect, are laid-back and away from the crowds. For lovers of unspoiled countryside as well as sea.
Parga, Sivota and Epirus Sundays from Gatwick and Manchester Two Epirot villages in glorious surroundings and with excellent beaches. Parga, well known for its beauty, is popular with Greek and foreigner alike. Sivota has fewer visitors, a very pretty waterfront and a real village atmosphere. Head inland to the heart of Epirus to discover a land of mountains, forests, gorges, lakes, rivers and preserved stone-built villages.
Halkidiki Daily flights from Gatwick; Mondays and Thursdays from Manchester Halkidiki is famed for its long white-sand beaches. We have discovered the small pretty village of Olymbiada away from the crowds. The village has an authentic atmosphere, a good choice of local tavernas, excellent sandy beaches, and even its own ancient site – ancient Stagira, birthplace of Aristotle!
Lemnos Saturdays from Gatwick You can fly direct to this large traditional island, which has few tourists, excellent sandy beaches and an attractive small port. Why read any further?
Pelion Fridays from Gatwick Pelion is famous for its beauty. Here mountain, sea and forest hide preserved villages and stunning beaches. Difficult to get to in the past, a direct flight to Volos means you can now discover it for yourself.
Skiathos , Skopelos and Alonissos Fridays from Gatwick and Manchester Three green and golden Sporadic Isles. Skiathos has almost 50 sandy beaches, is lively and fashionable. Skopelos is larger – the port is especially attractive with its chapels and narrow lanes. Alonissos is a quiet retreat.
Samos Thursdays from Gatwick and Manchester Close to Turkey, Samos is a refreshing combination of pine and olive, mountain and beach. It is large enough to offer plenty of variety, and has an especial appeal for walkers.
Patmos and Ikaria Thursdays from Gatwick and Manchester Dominated by the monastery of St John, Patmos’ fame belies its size. Most visitors come for a few hours only. But if you stay here, you will discover a gem of an island which the cruise-boat set will never know. Neighbouring Ikaria is little-known and a perfect escape from modern-day life – forests, mountains and white-sand beaches add up to a heady Greek cocktail.
Symi Wednesdays from Gatwick, Manchester and a range of regional airports. Tiny, rocky Symi, only an hour or two by boat from Rhodes, could be on a different planet. Nearly encircled by Turkish shores, Symi has a marvellously atmospheric port lined with neo-classical houses, and an ‘away from it all’, very friendly air.
Crete Tuesdays from Gatwick and Manchester The largest island of them all, with a rugged, mountainous landscape and a fascinating past. We feature mainly the west, particularly the area in and around historic Chania, and the remote south coast (including car-free Loutro which can only be reached by boat).
Cycladic Islands Various flights from Gatwick and Manchester or daily from Heathrow Whitewashed houses, gaily painted fishing boats, laden donkeys… the Greek Islands as you imagine. We feature Andros, Santorini, Mykonos, Paros, Naxos and remote Amorgos. Fly direct to Santorini or Mykonos or via Athens.
Dodecanese Wednesdays from Gatwick, Manchester and a range of regional airports via Rhodes or Kos (flight details on request). The furthest island grouping from the Greek mainland, close to the Turkish coastline. The main hub is Rhodes, from which you can get to the beautifully hidden islands of Symi, Halki, Kastellorizo, Tilos, Leros and Lipsi.
Hidden Greece and Athens Various flights from Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester Our mainland fly drives are as flexible as you wish to make them and feature areas rarely found in a holiday brochure. A very different face of Greece.
The Peloponnese, Tolon and Nafplion Sundays from Gatwick and Manchester The Peloponnese has got a wealth of ancient sites, stunning mountain scenery, traditional villages and miles of beaches. Tolon, an organised resort in the north, is suitable for all ages and a good base for excursions. The south is undeveloped and ideal for a quiet, relaxed holiday.
Albania Mondays from Gatwick, Bristol and Manchester via Corfu After years hidden from the outside world, Albania is at last opening up for visitors. Historic, intriguing and very scenic, our seven-day tour will enable a thorough insight into a land which has, to date, seen few foreign visitors. New for this year– be amongst the first to enjoy a beach holiday on the Albanian Riviera! Can be combined with a week in Corfu or Paxos.
