Best for Beaches
Luxury Greek island holidays wouldn't be complete without blissful beach days. As the largest island, Crete has a huge variety of beaches and secluded coves to choose from. Experience the pink sands and turquoise waters of Elafonissi Beach or visit lesser-known beaches for a truly tranquil escape. Milos' volcanic landscape has shaped dramatic coastlines and unique geological formations, with beaches like Sarakiniko defined by striking white rock.
Zakynthos is best known for stunning beaches like Navagio, or 'Shipwreck Beach'. Head to Paros and find soft sands and lively beach bars at Golden Beach or experience the windsurfing scene at Kolymbithres Beach. Naxos, meanwhile, is known for an exceptional diving scene on its pristine coast.

Best for Food & Drink
In Santorini, indulge in mineral-rich wines nurtured by the island’s volcanic soil and idyllic climate. Crete is renowned for its signature cheeses, best enjoyed with local olives. Join a hands-on cooking class afterward sampling some to master traditional Cretan dishes with authentic flair.
Sifnos also has a rich culinary heritage, featuring slow-cooked dishes like revithada (baked chickpeas) and mastelo (lamb or goat in red wine). Meanwhile, the high-end restaurant scene in Mykonos is a draw for many travellers.
"The Greek islands offer an exceptional culinary experience. Expect the finest seafood, freshly caught and simply prepared to highlight natural flavours, paired with local wines that capture the essence of the islands.
"Mykonos excels in gourmet dining, with beachfront restaurants serving fresh seafood and world-class wines. Crete is known for its farm-to-table philosophy, where rich olive oil, wild herbs and local cheeses elevate traditional dishes, while in Zakynthos, fresh fish and local honey create unforgettable flavours."

We recommend Paros as the most elegant island in Greece.
Expect traditional whitewashed hillside towns and sleepy tavernas serving the catch of the day. With plenty of white sand beaches to choose from, Paros is also a foodie-loving haven. Anti-Paros, a small island just a short boat ride away from Paros, is ideal for those who seek total peace and quiet – a rare thing in Greece during the summer months! For the best beaches, Milos has plenty to offer. A great spot for couples, Milos is evolving into one of the Mediterranean’s most sought-after destinations.

This island is ideal for couples, as well as families, a truly hidden gem undiscovered by mass tourism.
