Luxury Greece Vacations 2026/2027
Greece vacations are awash with varied landscapes and lush experiences. From hiking to the top of ancient ruins and exploring historical cities to soaking up the sun on white sand beaches and chartering a private yacht across cerulean seas.
At Scott Dunn, you don’t have to choose what type of vacation to Greece you want. We’ll help you combine a city and beach vacation to experience a little of both. Or, for something indulgent and relaxing, we’ll help you plan a vacation in Greece full of sun, sea, and sand on a luxurious island-hopping excursion. Families, friends, and couples alike can sail across azure waters, discovering islands like Crete, Mykonos, and Santorini, with their endless bays and picturesque rocky coastlines, soaking up the sun and making memories to last a lifetime.
If you’re more of an adventure seeker, you might enjoy combining hillside hiking with an exploration of Greece’s many archaeological sites and famous monuments.
No luxury vacation to Greece would be complete without discovering some of its excellent local cuisine.

FAQs about your luxury vacation to Greece
-
Weather-wise, Greece is arguably a year-round travel destination. However, due to the fact most of the islands shut down during winter, we suggest traveling from early May to mid-October.
While you can still tour the Peloponnese during winter – getting the chance to view some of Greece’s most famous ruins without the rush of tourism – early May is particularly beautiful as well as mid-September after the summer rush.
Learn more about the best time to visit Greece.
-
Greece has a Mediterranean climate, offering long hot, dry summers and mild and wet winters.
When traveling during our recommended times above, you should expect temperatures of around 75 degrees in May, with peak temperatures in the mid to high 80s and 90s throughout July to September.
-
For travelers wanting something a bit more pared back and less traveled, or have visited the Greece islands on vacation before, take the time to check out Paros. While it’s a smaller island, it boasts an authentic feel that can get lost in the larger islands and offers intimate beautiful beaches.
If you’re looking for buzz and to liven up your Greece vacation, Mykonos is a household name for a reason. Bursting with beach clubs, lounge music, and a buzzing night scene, you have the makings of a vibrant and lively trip. The main town is also stunning with an excellent selection of dining options.
-
As far as cities go, Athens is the highlight of Greece.
This ancient city is bursting with history, cuisine, culture and endless streets to wander through. We offer bespoke experiences that allow you to see the city your way. From customizable food tours to bespoke guided walkthroughs of the Acropolis, it’s a gorgeous city to get absorbed in.
Our one bit of advice is to avoid the peak heat of the summer months, keeping your Athens visit to May/early June or September/October.
-
