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, a distinctive cuisine and a rattling, revitalising selection of wines and spirits.

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

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

Our luxury Greece villas are situated on the mainland and on the beautiful island of Crete. Galatas is located on the most eastern tip of the Peloponnese. From the waterfront you can sip a glass of ouzo whilst viewing the comings and goings of nearby Poros, merely a stone's throw away. The 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.

Lagonisi is perfectly placed between the sea and the countless attractions of modern and ancient Athens. It is an area full of activities and attractions, from the numerous water sports at the beach, to the ancient ruins at the Acropolis, all within an easy reach.
