Ultra Luxury Greece Holidays

Greece is bursting with history, natural beauty and culture, making it ideal for a luxury holiday to remember. It boasts a long wellness history paired with a warm climate and picturesque landscape guaranteed to put even the most stressed travellers at ease.

For party animals and adrenaline junkies, there is a treasure trove of opportunity here, from the bars and casinos found on island resorts such as Mykonos and Rhodes to watersports at any decent beach. Walking holidays in Greece offer everything from stunning views from the country’s cliffs and hilltops to peaceful strolls through lush valleys such as Epta Piges and Phocis, with ancient monuments and charming villages at every turn.

One of the most iconic features of Greece is its well-preserved glimpse into Ancient Civilization. One of the best places to observe this is Athens, the country's capital. Climb Mount Lycabettus or the Acropolis and observe the whole city spread out below you or meander around the ancient Agora, where fully-restored stoa houses and the Temple of Hephaestus offer a chance to see an almost complete temple from 400BCE.

Athens is a vibrant destination with plenty of boutiques and restaurants to satisfy your shopping cravings and supply you with plenty of trinkets and souvenirs. The district of Monastiraki is the principal shopping area for curious tourists with its streets packed full of cafés and independent shops. Other towns across the country offer equally vibrant streets and markets, from Thessaloniki’s Tsimiski Street to the seafront boutiques of Santorini and Kalamata.

Greece In A Nutshell

Tastes To Try

Greek cuisine is a favourite the world over. While some dishes like moussaka or souvlaki are international favourites, Greece’s gastronomy offers far more than the few dishes that have made their way around the globe, so be sure to try something new and broaden your culinary horizons when you sit down to dinner. If you have a sweet tooth, try some traditional pastries and desserts like Loukamades, pieces of dough fried similarly to doughnuts.

Greece has produced some of the most exquisite wines and spirits, from aniseed-flavoured ouzo to Cretan brandy known as tsikoudia. Retsina Wine is a speciality, particularly in the region around Athens, and its sweet flavour comes from the pine resin traditionally used to seal the bottles. For less intoxicating tipples, fresh mint tea is delicious as is portokalada, a sparkling drink made with squeezed orange juice.

Soak Up The Culture

Greece has been a heartland of culture for over three millennia, with civilisations leaving their indelible mark from the ancient Mycenaeans to the Ottoman Empire. For ancient ruins, Athens is an absolute must, with its iconic Acropolis and Parthenon. Other parts of the country are also packed full of cultural treasures, with the Asclepeion at Epidaurus, Knossos Palace on Crete and the Temple of Poseidon on Cape Sounion.

On Rhodes, the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes is a stunning medieval fortress that towers over Rhodes Town, and at Corinth, a trek up to the fortress at Acrocorinth will provide astounding views from the Corinthian Gulf to the Aegean. In Halkidiki, Vatopedi and Simonopetra monasteries are marvellous examples of Byzantine and Frankish architecture, while the former Venetian strongholds of Methoni, Chalcis and Corcyra are all picturesque towns that provide the perfect setting for a day of exploration.

Life’s A Beach

Culture and food aside, everyone loves Greece for the acres and acres of pristine shorelines. Head to the Aegean archipelagos of the Cyclades and the Dodecanese, where Mykonos, Kos, Rhodes and Santorini, as well as countless others, offer you days of relaxation in the sun.

On the Greek mainland, you can find just as many gorgeous beaches, and at the Costa Navarino on the Peloponnese, a vibrant resort has recently sprung up to take advantage of the serene part of the coastline. On the opposite side of the peninsula, a 20-mile length of sand stretches around the Argolic Gulf from Kiveri to Drepano past the old Greek capital Nafplio. At Tolon, the beach is so smooth and the tide so minimal that it’s used as a major thoroughfare, and many hotels and restaurants can only be accessed from it.

Though the Mediterranean’s minimal tides mean surfing is generally not on the cards, wakeboarding, kitesurfing, windsurfing, sailing and water-skiing are all available from beaches around the country, such as at Prasonisi in Rhodes, Tsilivi in Zakynthos, and Lagomandra in Halkidiki.
