Visit Greece
Picturesque Greece is a paradise for visitors, and a Greek island holiday is nothing short of exceptional. Greece is split into three main geographical regions: the mainland, the Peloponnese Peninsula and the country’s 6,000 beautiful islands. Each has its own distinct identity and offers something unique.
With 227 inhabited islands to choose from, with sparkling coves, soft sandy beaches, dramatic volcanic peaks, cosy fish tavernas and electric blue rooftops, there is definitely an island perfect for you. There are few things more romantic than watching a fiery sunset across the ocean, and the Greek islands offer some of the most spectacular. Santorini and Mykonos are effortlessly chic with their cubic houses nestled into the cliffs, whitewashed windmills and blue and red church domes.
The Peloponnese coastline boasts sandy beaches for swimming and snorkelling in the azure warm waters. A trip to Peloponnese is like diving straight into an interactive history book, its collection of temples, castles and palaces bringing the past to life. It was home to some of the most powerful rulers in ancient Greece, hosting the kingdoms of Agamemnon, Nestor and Menalaus.
With 17 UNESCO World Heritage sites to its name, Greece has every right to be proud of its heritage. It’s not all about archaeology, however, and nature lovers will not be left disappointed. Greece is one of the most mountainous countries in Europe and the lush forests and rivers of Epirus, Thessaly and Thrace are ripe for exploring.
These example itineraries are here to get you inspired, but no two True Travel holidays are the same. Our Greece experts start planning each trip with a blank piece of paper, designing every itinerary 100% personalised to you.
The Donnellys
We are just leaving the villa now to go to the hotel and I wanted to let you know that we have had the best week ever. I’m nearly crying leaving Angelina and Kimberly. We have never met kinder people who became part of our family for the week. They looked after us so so well and the kids adored them. Can we book again for next year? I can be happier leaving knowing that I will meet them again.

ISLANDS
The Greek islands are quite something, both the famous and slightly harder ones to reach, and offer wonderful villa getaways. There are the Mamma Mia-style islands bursting with locals, carafes of Greek wine and newspaper stuffed with calamari. Or, there are the more luxurious islands of the Cyclades – enjoy the glamour of Mykonos and the sunsets of Santorini. Hop between the islands for a taste of it all, from sleepy fishing villages to serene clifftop escapes with dramatic plunge pools complete with sweeping sea views.
CALAMARI
No trip to Greece is completely without sampling the seafood. When you are not snorkelling alongside the squid and octopus, they make for an extremely tasty dinner. Accompanied by substantial portions of fresh feta, mountains of Greek salad, olives and of course local wine, you’ll never go hungry at the local taverna.
ADVENTURE
Away from the famous tourist destinations, Greece offers a playground for adventure – both on land and sea. From road tripping around the Peloponnese, clambering up through the town of Monemvasia, or simply kayaking around the crystal-blue water coves, endless activities await. Further north lies the region of Epirus, where there are copious opportunities to get your hands dirty. Explore Europe’s deepest canyon, partake in rafting excursions starting in Albania and visit the floating monasteries of Meteora.
BOATING
With all of the islands comes an abundance of impressive coastline, coves and beaches. Whilst staying in a villa is luxurious, some argue that discovering Greece by boat is the way forward to see the country. With the Ionian Islands in the west and the Cyclades in the east, charter a sailing boat and uncover an authentic side of Greece. There are plenty of sheltered harbours and secluded bays to call home for the night.
