Greece

Best time to be there

The mainland and islands are very hot and dry in July and especially August, the preferred travel month for French, Italian and Spanish holiday makers, making conditions busy, hotel availability limited and the beaches crowded. May, June and September are infinitely more comfortable and generally less expensive.

Luxury holidays in Greece

Picturesque white-washed villages tumbling into the startling blue of the Mediterranean Sea, ruins made mellow yellow by the low light of a summer evening and an ancient culture that sparked the birth of Western civilisation; the achievements of Greece sit easily alongside some of Europe's best beaches, a lively sense of pleasure and a revitalising selection of wines.

Luxury holidays in Greece with Abercrombie & Kent take you to the heart of a relaxed way of life in beautiful settings.

An untouched simplicity still sets the tone on the islands; an array of villas have grown out of fishing villages that can trace their origins back 2,000 years.  Experience a culture of Mediterranean ease where boats are still alternatives to travel by road, small restaurants serve retsina against a backdrop of fishing nets, widows wear black and men cluster round harbour front bars playing dominos.

The Peloponnese area is rich with citrus groves and orchards and from here you can easily continue your Greece travel to reach the countless Greek and Roman ruins that populate the Peloponnese, such as Nafplion, Epidavros and Ancient Mycenae, declared a World Heritage Site in 1999.
