Greece
The musky scent of oregano and sage carried on the breeze. The faint jangle of goat bells. Peach nectar trickling down salty skin. The distant throb of an outboard engine, slipping over the horizon. These are the flavours, smells and sounds of Greece, a land of plenty, simplicity, and infinite variety. You’ll love the sun-drenched islands, including the whitewashed dwellings of Mykonos, the historic ruins in Athens, the sun-soaked cafes on Crete, and the famous view on Santorini. Each of the Greek Islands is its own, distinct world, with its own passionate followers.

BEST TIME TO GO
Outside the busy summer peaks, during spring (April to June) and early autumn (Sept and October). Temperature is warm but not stifling, and you’ll find that destinations are open but are relatively quiet.
IDEAL LENGTH
A short break – a day in Athens and a few days on an easy-to-reach island – will give you a taste of Greece, but count a minimum of a week or 14 days if you want to embrace slow travel, delve deep, and relax as well.
