Greece

We’ve been here. We love Greece, it’s one of our absolute favourite countries — don’t miss it.

Greece blends classical heritage, Orthodox tradition, and sun-drenched landscapes. Its islands, ruins, and coastal towns create a rich tapestry of myth, philosophy, and everyday life.

Rosie says

Greece is truly spectacular and for me it's a highlight of the Mediterranean. Every island and region is different, the water is always so blue and there's nothing like a freshly made gyros.

Aaron says

With Greece having such an ancient and layered history it was always a must visit for me and it doesn't dissapoint. A diverse landscape and history across the mainland and across islands from Santorini to Koufonisia and Corfu to Paxos. Greece has something for everyone. And it can be said for most countries but I found the food so much better in Greece!

Glio says

Greece feels like stepping into a myth — sun-washed islands, ancient stories, and endless blue.
